What a year it's been.....Adventure #61

Well Hello Pups, Kitties and Everyone Else....♥
Well it has been a year almost that I have blogged and it has been a long one. The year started off with a bang (fireworks for New Years Celebrations). Then human Granny lost her baby brother to cancer. Sad time for us. Not much in the way of winter, not much snow and all. Plans for a up-coming wedding (my human Auntie's). February my human Mommy had eye surgery. She came to stay with me and human Granny, I loved that. March was a busy month with a 'Bridal Shower' and very stressful for human Granny. But it was Beautiful (I hear I was not allowed to go) and everyone had a wonderful time. April we did the 'Candle Lite Vigil' for the 100+ Sledge Dogs at the Chicago Party Animals and no one showed. Visited my dog park a lot in this month. We met many new pups. May was uneventful except getting the invitations ready with human Auntie. June was the 'Wonderful Event' the wedding. I spent a week at the Doggie Place. I had a OK time they said I was good. I was so Happy to see my human Granny....♥ Most of June and a little of July was spent trying to 'Save Lennox (RIP)' the pup killed in Belfast. We did not succeed. July was HOT and me a human Granny just mostly stayed in the house under the air conditioning most of the time. Human Granny started a group to 'Stop BSL' in memory and to honor Lennox (RIP). August was pretty uneventful. September human Granny celebrated her 55th Birthday. It was fun on facebook.com. We lost our Dear Sweet Scarlet on 9/11/2012. Human Granny and me are still not over that one yet *tears*. October was a long month I have been sick with either Bladder Stones or Kidney Stones. It is hard to tell which in a pup. And I'm still dealing with this problem even today. I had fun in my Halloween Costume (pictures to follow). November was the same almost as October not much gong on except 'Bountiful Harvest'. O'yes and human Auntie and her new husband went to Hawaii. Human Granny was so jealous, but Happy they had a Great time. Human Granny loves Hawaii....♥ December was a busy month. Spent time at a few Kill Shelters to help out. Human Granny likes to help the pups and kitties and rabbits and ect. So we come to now.
January 7, 2013 Human Granny's heart was broken from the loss of one of her 'BabyGirls' Pippen. She went to the 'Rainbow Bridge' to wait for us to be together again. All human Granny's on-lines friends have been so kind to her over this loss. It has been sad most of our days. Gerogetta (Pippen's Twin, they were born in the same sack) is missing her Mirrored Twin terribly. I miss her too! Human Granny loves her more forever....♥
Not too much more to share. Hopefully the days will allow human Granny to keep up with my blog. Blessings and thanks for visiting.

TRYING TO CATCH UP AGAIN! ADVENTURE #60

Hello pups and kitties and humans and everyone else.....♥
It has been a while since human Granny has posted on my blog...:'( She has been so busy with supporting 'Child Abuse Awareness' and 'Animal Abuse Awareness' and 'The Chicagoland Puggle Group' on Meetup.com and 'Brittany Transport' she hasn't had much time to blog for me. Well we are back with a vengeance. JK! Snicker! Snicker! I have been busy chasing the kitties, tearing up human Granny's socks, and barking at the squirrels on the patio to keep them off our outside space.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

It started out bad but with hope and faith and a lot of prayer I think it will get better. Human Granny has been reading all your old post to me. I have a lot to catch up on. I see Preston Puggle has a new 'Baby human Brother' and he is so cute, as humans go I personally like canines looks better...Snicker! Snicker! Human Granny thinks he is the cutest human baby she has seen in a while: Puggle Lainey & Puggle Autumn & Chloe had a very successful 'Secret Santa 2011': I see 'Tank' has taken his first plane ride...and was very nervous about it: Puggle Coco got a lot of new toys.....well I will have to fill you in later on the rest when human Granny gets a minute. Enjoy the video and have a Great Super Bowl Sunday!

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR THE 100+ SLED DOGS MURUDERED IN CANADA BC...ADVENTURE #59

What a Great Adventure I had on 4/23/2011! First human Granny had to make plans for the 'Candlelight Vigil for the 100+ Sled Dogs' murdered in Canada BC. She was busy planning and getting copies and getting candles and permission for the event. Thanks to the Blue Island Park District for letting us use their facilities, on a last minute notice. Thanks for the humans that came out. Thanks to the organizers of this Great Cause, and thanks to the beautiful weather. Pups were 'Howelling' all over the world. What a Barking Great time I had. Even a few pups with their humans who just came to the dog park at random stayed and joined in. We wore 'Red Ribbons' to make others aware of the 'Animal Cruelty Laws' in Canada and how they need to be changed. Human Granny got the word out as best she could. Petitions were signed and a short but sweet speech was said but she could not hold on at the end the water started falling from her eyes.... But all in all it was for a Great cause and we would do it again. We have to have the humans be out voices' sometimes, cuz some humans just don't want to understand us. Thanks to them all! Catch you later pups and kitties and humans, unless you catch me first...

Easter Egg Hunt at P.A.W.S. Tinley Park, IL Adventure #58

What a Great Adventure this was! On Saturday 4/16/2011 human Granny took me to this Great place with eggs all over (see pics) and they had treats in them. They also had little paper dots in them to and for each one I found inside the egg I got a toy. I liked the treats better...Snicker! Snicker! We gave a $10.00 donation and for a little more I got my picture taken with the 'Easter Bunny' whoever that is BOL! It rained but we went anyway. I was so interested by all the eggs it did not matter that we got all wet. We had a Barking Great time and helped the animals too at the Tinley Park IL P.A.W.S. Enjoy the pics and 'Happy Easter' and 'Happy Passover'! Catch you later unless you catch me first.

Bella the Brittany Pup's Journey to her Furever Home! Adventure #57

I had a wonderful adventure yesterday. Let me start from the beginning....Well human Granny has been wanting to do more for the 'Homeless and Helpless' pets, so she spends time a lot on facebook.com [and forgets about my blog ;( ] so she can see if she can help to transport a pup or kitty or whatever to a forever home. On Thursday night she seen that a pup needed to get to her home and they needed one more leg to get her there. Well it just so happened that it was not so far from our home and human Granny knew just where the place was to take her to the next leg (person doing the transfer). So she wrote on someones wall 'I'll do it!' and Adventure #57 was on! She made arrangements with the lady organizer and then got in contact with the person that was the leg before us. She got permission for me to go too! Human Papa is taking care of his parents in Joliet IL USA (human Papa's Mommy and Popie are in from Texas USA for medical reasons) on Saturdays so I did not have anyone to watch me for the whole day. We waited for the call from the human girl and then we met her at Doubletree Hotel where she transferred to us, Bella. She was so cute (see pictures) and we called our next leg and then called human Papa and then finally we were on our way. I was so good and did not growl at her I did Bark a little. She was a little nervous but human Granny put her in the front seat with her and buckled her in and petted her soft head. After a bit she settled in and went to sleep and slept the whole trip. Except when she heard my nose trying to smell her at the side of the seat. I was a very good Puggle Pup and I did not show any aggressions to this baby Bella. We got off the Tollway in South Bend and went to another hotel called the Inn at Saint Mary's . Then human Granny got out with her. I was surprised. She seemed like she wanted back in the car with human Granny when the human lady was taking her to their car after a short walk. They got in her car (the other humans transporters' car) with my Bella and drove off. I sniffed everywhere but she was nowhere to be found. We had a early dinner and then back to Chicago we went. O I forgot to mention that I did take my Puggle Attitude out on the toll guys...Snicker! Snicker! Thanks human Granny for not having a IPass....BOL! Well all went well and human Granny was so proud of herself for doing such a good deed for the pup. Bless you and Please Remember the Animals in Japan.

This is Bella the Brittany when we picked her up @ 2:42pm on Saturday 3/26/2011. I think she thought she was driving.....Snicker! Snicker!

This is Bella sleeping on her Journey to her Forever Home (top pic)
and me Puggle Ariel (bottom pic) watching over everything! I love to ride in my dogie car seat, but today I wanted to ride in the front seat with Bella.

Human Granny got out of the car with Bella and I thought she was just going to walk her but she came back without her. I was sniffing all over but she was gone....

I looked back to see her driving away with the new humans to take her on the rest of her Journey and find her forever human Mommy & human Daddy.....

As we drove back home to Chicago IL USA human Granny was shedding a few Happy *tears* and was talking to the sky. I guess she said a prayer for Bella? She does that a lot, talks to the sky.

What a Great time I had visiting Santa Paws at the P.A.W.S. no kill rescue in Tinley Park, IL. (Sorry yes human Granny is way behind on my post Snicker! Snicker!) Hey I thought he lived in the North Pole....BOL! Human Granny and human Mommy and human Papa and I got ready and I wore my new sweater to sit on his lap and get my picture made. He acted kinda scared of me at first Puggle energy I guess! But human Granny assured him that I was all play and no bite. I just wanted to see what was hiding in that white beard. BOL! We got a wish list before we went home and a cute picture of me with Santa Paws. Yes it was a fun Adventure. We all went home and I enjoyed some treats and human Mommy and human Granny was so proud of me cuz I sat so nice for my picture. Do you think it worked? Be good get more gifts...Snicker! Snicker! Well 'Merry Christmas' to all and to all a good day. 'Happy Holidays' to my Jewish pups and kitties. Hope Santa Paws is very good to you. Please remember all the Homeless Pets this Season.

Howl-O-Ween 2010 Adventure #55

Yes I like my costume this year 2010!

I was putting a spell on Lainey by twitching my nose and I think I scared her!
Snicker! Snicker!
No need for human Granny to check out my Treats they are from 'Lainey's Pawtique and Bakery' all natural and Great!


My stash!

Wow did I have a Great Howl-O-Ween this year! On 10/30/2010, it was quite a Adventure! First thanks for the votes for the costume my blogger furfriends. Human Granny went with the 'Spider Witch'. First we went downtown to the fund raiser for the 'Anti Cruelty Society' Howl-O-Ween pawty. Great place and lots of pups to play with. I really just keep all the pups in check. No going in the tunnel for me. I also like to Greet all the humans coming in. Snicker! Snicker! After we were done we drove over (well human Granny did the driving) to Lainey & Autumn & Chloe's house to pick up my treats and some for Puggle Sandy too. After we got to Puggle Sandy's house and seen all the Boo-Ti-Full decorations her (Puggle Sandy's) human Mommy put up we went in. My humans ate and us Puggles played and had fun. I showed Puggle Sandy how I can catch a ball when human Granny bounces it to me. Then we can home. On 10/31/2010 human Granny dressed me up and let me get into my Tricks-Or-Treats bag. What a fun time. Hope you all had a Great Halloween! Catch you later unless you catch me first.

Hope you Enjoyed the pics!

Help is Needed!

Hey to all my blogger furfriends and human ones too! I only have one day to make a decision for my Howl-o-Ween Pawty Saturday 10/30/2010 and I need your help. I have 2 costumes this year and human Granny needs to know which one I should wear. She wants your input (whatever that is) Snicker! Snicker!
So here are the choices...

Spider Witch or......Purple Dinosaur?
Thanks and Happy Howl-o-Ween to all and to all a Spooky Nite!

Young @ Heart Pet Rescue 'Mutt Mosey Fund Raiser' Adventure #54

Wow! what a Great Adventure I had with human Granny and human Papa today! It was our Young @ Heart Pet Rescue, 'Mutt Mosey's Fund Raiser! Human Granny worked hard trying to raise money but we did get 10% of her goal and that is good (she said). We started out and human Granny told human Papa to get a jacket it was going to be bad weather. Human Granny made sure to get me and her one. He said he did not need it. Dog-gone-it he was wrong. It RAINED all the time we were at the Fund Raiser. Glad human Granny remembered to bring 2 umbrellas.

Human Papa decided to go and get a umbrella...Snicker!

The 'Walk' got started a little late with the rain and all, but it was still a Barking! Great time. Human Papa and I did our walk around the pond and we can in first place. Then human Granny got me a 'Raffle Ticket' and it won me a 'Dog Gone Great' prize.

Human Granny picked out the prize for me. I made a lot of new furfriends and met some old one too from last year. As you can see I had to check out the bottom of the garbage can first for some 'tit-bits' then greet the furfriends...Snicker! Snicker!

A few snacks for the pups and the humans and a 'Pet Rock' contest and some great music and all was a Big Success!

Thanks to my Wonderful Blogger friends that donated and Thanks to all that cheered us on. In all over $9,500. was raised and that is a very Great thing.

Have a Great one, Licks & Wags, Ariel ♥

p.s.s it is not too late to donate. Remember no donation is too small. Human Granny will be posting more pics real soon!

My First Vacation Adventure #53

Well this was the Best Labor Day I have ever had. Human Granny and human Papa took me on a mini vacation. We went to Indiana USA and got a hotel in Chesterton, IN for 3 nights. It was a real Great Adventure! All I wanted to do when we first got to our room late Friday September 3, 2010, was play. The bed was very big to run across with my ball. Human Granny wanted to sleep because she knew we had to be up very early to have breakfast and get ready for the days activities.

So off to sleep we went. Early Saturday September 4, 2010 morning we were up for breakfast. I read my paper had some bottled water, and waited for human Granny to get my food. I was very patient and that is real hard for me.....Snicker! Snicker!
We got on the road and had to go to three beaches before we found a dog beach. No swimming at any of the beaches because of the 'Rip Tide' whatever that is....BOL!

I must admit the waves were very big for a little Puggle like me. I stayed behind human Papa for a bit before I decided to go in and try the water out. We did not have a lifeguard so no one told us not to swim. But human Granny rather be safe than sorry so we all just waded in a little.
On Sunday September 5, 2010 we checked the internet (well human Granny did), and we found a Great dog park just over at Michigan City, IN. It was Barking Great! A large area with stuff to do and I made a few FurFriend right when we got there.
We stay a long while at the 'Bark Park' and then back to the hotel to get some rest. I was sure dog tired. But it was a Great mini vacation for me. I am so blessed to have human Granny and human Papa in my life!
Catch you later pups and everyone else.
Licks & Wags, Ariel ♥
p.s.s. will post more pics....♥


Please don't forget to give to my Great cause. My walk is coming up real soon September 18, 2010. It is the 'Young @ Heart Senior Pet Rescue'. Remember no donation is too small.

Last Pool Party of Summer 2010 Adventure #52

My it is HOT in Chicago, IL USA. Yesterday human Granny and human Papa took me to my last 2010 Summer Pool Party with the 'West Loop Dog Group' Meet-Up. I had a Barking Great time as always. Human Granny did not venture into the water this time with me. But human Papa and I had a Blast! This time we stayed late and not too many dogs were swimming around with me. It was almost like I had the pool to myself. I was the only Puggle that attended yesterday. We have to get the Puggles to come out more. Well don't forget pups and all others tell your humans about my 'Great Cause' for the Senior Pups and Kitties. It is coming up real fast and we are trying to reach our goal. Just click on the 'First Giving' at the right side of this post. Please remember that No Donation Is Too Small. Thanks! Enjoy the pictures and notice how good my swimming is getting.
