I can't see my front feet or my back feet!!

UG! I'm as big as a house, hungry all the time, and uncomfortable as hell! Bella and Roo were doing their morning rat run in the yard this morning, and normally she and I have our plan of attack. She chases him at me, then I take over the run (we tag team him). He was running at me and I took off, took 3 steps and felt like I was pulling a dump truck!!! 4 steps and I was done! What's with that CRAP! My cardio has gone in the dumpster, and one of the little buggers keeps kicking me in the bladder! On the upside though, the perks are pretty sweet I get grilled chicken and veggies twice a day, I get a special bed, bowl, and water dish in mom and dads room, and get to sleep in total comfort each night (Sleep number bed baby!! I'm a 15, how about you?) And of course, mom and dad pick me up, put me on the couch, in the swing, in their laps etc, because they don't want me to strain myself. Lulu is SO JEALOUS, it's funny!

When mom and dad are gone for an hour or two, I get to go into the whelping room. It has a nice big bed, 4 water bowls, 2 food bowls, a radio, fans, and nice view of the garden. When mom and dad come in to get me Lulu is always at the door peeking in to see what is up.

All the own time has given me lots of time to work on the computer and web site. Bella is starting a new business, so i have been working on some web stuff for her too. She wants a site for KRT Kennel Cookies, and mom and dad are working on the logistic. I think they should call them "Bella's Biscuits: or Bella's Bakery. Once they get all the details figured out they can let me know and then me and Cece can get started on the logos and web site. Hopefully this will all be done before the babies get here. I'm due any time now. Cece isn't' due until the 6th of August or something...mom is going to have her hands FULL! Lulu gets all loopy and psycho when other have puppies. Something else adorable that steals all the the attention (well, not all but alot) from her. I wouldn't be surprised if she snuck in a turkey baster moment with Roo just to get knocked up and refocus the attention on her! Bet me biscuits, she's going to faint or say she's preggers or something.

The kitchen is alive with the sound of buscuits!!!!

All the bambino's are gone, so what is a girl to do? I finally had an epiphany. I'm going to get a hobby!!! Blue has body building, and the website management thingy,(plus she will have babies soon) Cooper has his Coopflix, Hank has the house security thing and general neurosis, Cece has her gift bag for puppy's and dogs business, and Lulu's hobby is well...Lulu. SO! I decided that I am going to hone my cooking skills and start "7 dogs bakery!" Lulu says that there is already a 3 dogs bakery, and what happens if we add more dogs? So my other choices were "TUB-O-NUBS Bakery" (lulu says that makes us sound fat) "GOOD COOKIES MADE BY DOGS" (Lulu said it was too simple sounding...she is REALLY opinionated GOSH!) My final choice was "KRT KENNEL COOKIES" (Mom said I was brilliant for that one, and Lulu would NEVER argue with mom) SO KRT Kennel Cookies will be up and running in no time soon! Mommy got some culinary training in the past. lulu said it was in "PRAY-VONCE", she saw mom's name on something over there. I think Provence is in Rhode Island or something. Anyways, the woman can cook!! Cookies, pies, pastas, sauces, breads, appetizers, meats (well, dad is the king of the grill, mom likes his meat!) Everyone said they wish that mom and dad would have people over more often because everything they cook is so GOOD! Anyways, mom set up some 'mommy and me' time...she got out a bunch of her cook books so we can hammer out some recipes and decide what we are going to focus on. Lulu was calling this a 'focus group'. She just wants in on it, she has to get her manicured little paws into everything I swear! Once we get all the details done, Blue said that that she would put something on the web site about it if we want (she is a wiz at marketing) CeCe said that she would use them in her gift bags, Cooper said that he would do a review on them, Roo volunteered to be the taste tester (big shock there) and Hank said he would make sure no one stole the secret sauce (do we have a secret sauce yet?) I emailed Aunt Gracie and cousin Murphy down south to see if they want some for Gracies photo shoots (she's gonna be the new K-9 Coppertone model Lulu talks about her good looks NON STOP) She is really gorgeous though, I have met her in person.

We are meeting on Friday and hopefully we will be able to get our business plan together (I'm so excited! It sounds SO OFFICIAL!!) Mom says she will back me financially, whatever that means. Blue she said that there won't be much overhead, just the cost of ingredients. I wanted to have some business cards, t-shirts, banners, bumper stickers, and have mom's Mini Cooper wrapped with advertising for it, but mom says let's not put the least before the dog. Either way, stay tuned, and stay hungry, things are getting tasty around here!!!

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~ Broken ~

this was a weird one folks. Involved seeing yourself right before you die, or parallel universe, or something. I honestly can't tell you really what this was about. A woman in a car wreck or she see's herself in a car wreck, or she see's herself and causes a car wreck...yeah....you need a road map or cliff notes from there. I hung on every word, every scene, and did the peepie dance for like 25 minutes afraid to go out since I might miss the plot point that would just bring it all together (for the record, that point never happened, and I dribbled a little on the kitchen floor--Sorry MOM!) this is a one bone at best. Too film noir (Blue would love it probably) Maybe if they had more canine representation it would have been better.......or not.

this needs a bloodhound tracker to sniff out the plot and help the rest of it find it too!

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~ Slumdog Millionaire ~

IT has dog in the title, so you know it was good. It was a tad confusing at first....flash backs, flash forwards, flash sideways, and since this was India, I think a flash flood!

This is a film that makes you stop and think about the little things in life and how significant they can become. greenie or Rawhide? Fire Hydrant or Mail box? Chase the cat or the neighbors little yappy yorkie with attitude that poops in the yard when he thinks that no one is looking BUT WE KNOW IT IS YOU GIZMO!!! WE KNOW!!!!...Oh sorry...got carried away there.....

Interesting story line, amazingly played out, and without giving it all away, it has a happy ending. (there are times int he film you aren't so sure) I give this 4 bones for great camera angles and cinematography, music (I've downloaded a few of the tunes to my ipod) and really good acting. There really weren't any dogs in the film, that was sort of a downer, but hey, it has Dog in the title right?

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~ Quarentine ~

This movie was dark and creepy. The filming was done without allot of lights on. It all begins with a rabid dog (What the hell Snoopy?! I mean, why not a rabid cat, got knows those little bastards eat stuff too!) Yes, the disease is a funky strain of rabies, which for those of us who get our yearly shots and tags just sends shivers from our noses to our nubs! Everyone goes mutant zombie in this movie, limbs get disconnected, and it a Michael Jackson Thriller video gone bad!(minus the dancing and funky beat) Everyone gets eaten, or decapitated, or end up a double amputee.

I give it three bones. It is an interesting concept, and makes some folks (Hank) a little nervous about the whole bio hazard and biological threat thing (He sleeps with his gas mask on, he says it is from Roo's gas, but I know better)

Just remember this folks, if one of your favorite canines decided to enjoy some squirt can whipping cream, or gets a moustache from a latte, it isn't an outbreak!!

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~ Role Models ~

2 Guys get into trouble here (remember Stiffler from the American Pie movies, he is one of them) and they end up having to do community service at a big brother/big sister community center. They get to be 'big brothers' to 2 kids that have washed everyone else out of the program essentially. There is lot so hi jinx and some exaggerated acting here, but over all it was actually funny...we weren't going for an academy award or anything for plot. It's fairly predictable, but again, funny, entertaining , and worth the $3 rental fee. Not to heavy of a plot, and was good mindless entertainment for an afternoon (Roo should love the mindless part, it comes naturally to him) I personally think the kids would have benefited more from a nice dog (say Rat Terrier perhaps) as opposed to 2 delinquent humans, but hey! I don't make the rules right?! 2 bones is my vote...probably should be more, but I got hungry and ate the 3rd bone!

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~The day the Earth Stood still ~

This should be called "The day you watched this movie and time stood still!" Keanu Reeves plays a zero personality monotone alien really well, but I expected him to throw a "DUDE!" from Bill & Teds in there just to liven things up a bit (No such luck) This movie has one of those underlying political / environmental statements, and these aliens aren't related to Marvin the Martian or ET! Humans are messy, dirty, and destroying the earth Have they ever met Bella, she leaves her toy's everywhere, and Hank flips his dry food all over the kitchen!) Anyways, aliens are here to save the earth by getting rid of the humans (no mention of dogs here, I guess we were one of the good guys with the rest of the critters) Anyways, a few chase scenes, some long winded environmental stuff and suddenly Keanu's alien dude thinks humans aren't so bad (go figure, since we don't have poseable thumbs we dogs need them to open the boxes of dog bones you idiots!) Anyways, he decided to turn off the human extermination think. VIOLA! happily ever after.

The most exciting part of the movie is when a bee landed on the couch near mom (she's allergic to them) and she half gainer, summer salted off yelling for dad to kill it....3 solid bones for the flip mom did....but only one bone for the movie.

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~ Notorious ~

The name of this movie should be Notorious LU!!!(at least for the notorious part).

This movie is about the rapper/artist Notorious B-I-G. Quite interesting actually. it chronicles his rise form the tough streets - teenage rapper on the corner, and then to a superstar gunned down too soon (Can't we all just get along!!?!?!?!?) The music was awesome in this film, and with mom and dad being fans of the music from this era, it was enjoyable to watch them bob their heads like a couple of bad asses.

Hank tried to get all GANGSTA with a new big choke chain, some sunglasses and downloaded a few of the songs to his IPOD, but let's be honest here folks...Cocker Spaniels are more GANGSTA then Hank is! I give this movie 2 bones, only because I think it has a limited draw (I don't see grandma and grandpa running out to rent this one) All the nubs round here enjoyed it up to the point that CeCe and Bella started doing the cabbage patch, and Roo was doing something called the running man...just goes to prove...predominately white dogs have no rhythm.

Roo was out of town that weekend~ NOT!!!

Well, I, me, CeCe broke the news to mom and dad gently that I was pregnant. Mom looked upset, rechecked her calenders, then said "Ok, lets figure this out" (mom's so good about taking the bull by the horns) She got out her notebook, started figuring when I was due, what was needed, and how fast we could get it here. She ordered me my own little whelping bed, the big one is set up for Blue, and we aren't supposed to have 2 litters at once (mom gets this look like she put her finger in a light socket look, and it worries dad, he says she gets to worried about too much or something) Last time Lulu was one of the mom's and it was a total DIVA FEST! So I have my new bed that will be here this week, and my vitamins, and all sorts of other things are going to be here soon too. Mom took me to the vet, and he said he knew mom wasn't happy about me having babies again, but since I had the puppies in January, then had a cycle (funny, I don't remember having a bike) then this one was just fine. Roo the big dummy wimped out and went to the dog park when we were supposed to be telling them. Dad gave him the what not when he came home because he thought that was pretty wimpy that he didn't come with CeCe. He tried to tell dad he was out of town that weekend, but since he doesn't drive, and would have had to have mom or dad drive him, it was pretty obviously he was lying !!!!

I've got my list of names picked out, and I just can't wait! Puppies INSPIRE ME!!! Lord let me be the dog my puppies think I AM!!!! (and not just a walking milk shake machine) With all the preparation under way, I'm still trying to focus on my gift bag business (for those of you with puppies from us you know what I mean) and Bella is starting her own little endeavor, so Blue and I agreed to sign on for the creative marketing and the overall marketing (Blue is a wiz at the web site thing)

Anyways....I'm signing off for now....sweet dreams full of whisker wishes and puppy dog kisses!!

****CeCe

CoopFLIX Movie Reivew ~ Rachel Getting Married ~

Rachel Getting Married. This movie- OYE! - where to start? For starters as to where this is going ...it only gets one bone. It's filmed in the Cloverfeild/Blair which style of shaky cameramen, so the first 5 minutes of the film I was convincing myself I wasn't going to be sick (Car sickness is Hanks deal, not mine) Anne Hathaway was really good, but man this was depressing. I can't tell you the plot line, has something to do with human rehab, which is like our dog pound or animal control or something I think. Some guy started playing here comes the bride on an electric guitar with a dog whistle accompaniment, Roo started howling, and my and dad agreed "Ok we are done!!!!" 20 minutes into the movie we shut er down. Sorry to those who thought it was great, but I took the DVD and put it in our doggie poop dooley in the yard with the rest of the crap. One bone folks, and we are talking store brand, out of date, no flavor, and probably really crumbly bones here.

CoopFLIX Movie Reivew ~ He's just not that into you ~

She's just not that into you...I've been telling Roo that for years *Snicker.

This movie is quite funny actually. I only did the doggie dating park thing for a year or two before mom and dad got Lulu, bit I can relate to allot of it, or I know allot of dogs that fit these characters to a tee. Drew Barrymore is adorable in the movie, and of course Jennifer Aniston is gorgeous even if she is wearing a paper bag!(which she isn't wearing one in the movie...I'm just saying) Hanks favorite hunk the MAC computer guy (what is his real name, or does his drivers licence just have 'MAC Computer Guy" on it?) Regardless, desperate singles, quirky married folks, lusty and little bit adulterous, HUMANS ARE A MESS!!! To heck with dating all together! I want what my mom and dad have! Perfection! Anyways, good movie, funny, entertaining, and worth 4 bones easy! Just take my advice, if you want loyal, loving and faithful companionship with no mixed signals...GET A DOG!!!!

CoopFLIX Movie Reivew ~ Yes Man ~

Life is one of those poop pick up bags until Jim Careys character goes to a seminar and in order for his life to turn around, he has to say yes to everything...hence the title! IT was a cute movie, some ups, some downs, filled with antics only Jim Carey could master. You find yourself rooting for him to be happy. OF course there is the emotional debacle at the end involving to 2 women like you humans always get yourself into! I won't give it away, but will that this is a good rainy day movie to snuggle up with your human and some raw hides with. I give it 3 bones. And if anyone could find a seminar , I think I parents should attend..how great would that be?

"Mom I want a greenie"

"Yes Cooper""

"Mom can you fix me a medium well hamburger, hold the onions and extra pickles-I love pickles"

"Yes Cooper"

AHHHHH...............Heaven!

CoopFLIX Movie Review - Lakeview Terrace

The movie was Lakeveiw Terrace...gorgeous scenery, and Kerry Washington wasn't bad either!! It starts out with a mixed race couple (like a cat and a dog) moving to a nice neighborhood with a neurotic and prejudice cop (Samuel Jackson-like he was animal control or something) living next door. Racial under and over tones occur with lots of action and make us think "Can't we just all get along!". This movie was enough to make anyone move out into the middle of no where with no neighbors in sight. Samuel Jackson was the neighbor from hell. My biggest issue with this film is everyone is so worried about security against the bad guys and each other, but no one had a dog!!! I feel that the real prejudice here was that no one had pets. Samuels 2 kids didn't even have a fish or a hamster! This was supposed to be LA- We need to REPRESENT DAWGS~! Anyways, for action and originality I gave it 2 bones. Some of the stuff was a bit extreme, but I could see how humans could let things escalate. Y'all just need to share some greenies and sniff more butts. This movie gets 2 bones.

CoopFLIX movie reivew ~ Push ~

The DVD review was for PUSH

2 young adults, one of which is a grungy Dakota Fanning, have special powers. They are running from the government, trying to save someone close to them. They use their powers while the government uses their bad guys special powers to catch them. Alot of neat effects, some cool abilities. Not enough canine representations, but they were in Japan or Korea or something (I think they eat dogs over there ***gag**** EAT DOGS!!??!?!?) Regardless, what's the point of special powers unless they can A) Make dog treats appear B) Move fire hydrants closer to home or C). Make Lulu disappear? LOL

Anyhoo, I gave it 3 out of 4 bones. It was entertaining , and not totally predictable. It is a good movie to curl up with a Kong or rawhide and relax with your human. Just make sure the water bowl is close by, you don't want to get up to get a drink and miss something cool!!

OOps I did it again....

You thought you were getting Brittney with the title huh? Well..this is CeCe not Brittney....this is one of those covert posts that mom doesn't know about, but well, she is going to find out soon enough about.....I did it again, I'm going to be a mommy! I know I was a mommy in January, and mom and dad REALLY wanted me to wait until next January at least before I had any more puppies, but Roo was there, I was feeling sort of frisky, and well, we just fell into the moment......The vet said that I was fine if I wanted to have another group of puppies this year, I was really healthy and in great shape, but mom and dad only want us to have kids once a year at the most. She will probably be upset, and of course her and dad both are going to be worried sick about me the whole time, but I feel great, and I'm really excited. Lulu is going to be PISSED! Mom and dad refused to let her have puppies, and they kept them completely apart while Lulu was pole dancing for him from behind the gates in the house. I snuck my moment with Roo before they caught on that I might be getting ready to go into heat..mom had it on the calender, but they were off by a few days. Anyways, I am going to have another group of gorgeous little babies! I've got my list of names I'm working on, I'll keep you posted on what mom and dad say when we (Roo and I) break the news.

Security is a necessity, not an option

Ok, the last of Bellas puppies went home last nigh, which means it is time for all of us to do our quarterly safety drills, and re familiarize ourselves with what matters.... SECURITY!!! I scheduled a mandatory fire drill this morning, everyone showed up, Lulu came out with her rollers still in her nub, and her little sleep mask on, that was pretty funny, although she didn't think so. I had the security company come out and double check all the security camera feeds, the video monitors in the office were a little fuzzy, so I had them upgraded. Mom went out and got some guard houses that we have systematically positioned around the yard, she calls them dog houses, but they are great stopping points during my daily patrols...gets me a little shade, and a place to reposition my utility belt (those flashlights get heavy) Stinky and Smokey have taken up alot of slack, they are in charge of night patrols, I need my beauty sleep you know, you can't keep this buff, charming, and sharp without at least 8 hours of shut eye. Days are pretty quiet unless the UPS guy makes a delivery, or one of the neighbors is trimming their hedges. I take the first shift, Cooper will take most afternoons, and Friday mornings (I tan in the afternoons, and have a twice weekly massage, my pedicure on Thursday afternoons, acupuncturist on Tuesdays, and then my life coach every Friday morning~gotta stay on track) Lulu is supposed to fill in here and here, but she spends more time looking in the mirror and quaffing in her uniform, than actually doing anything useful.

Well, the cameras are in place, the monitors are working well, the patrol schedule is posted, and the speakers are all set up. We are here, to serve and protect, sound the alarm....welll...to serve and protect, eat some chips, watch some tv, make their weekly massage appointments, and also to make sure that the house stays in line.

Farah and Michael are gone, and the world mourns!!!

oh THE TRAGEDY!!! I have been so busy since Michael Jackson's passing and Farah Fausetts memorial, I just haven't had time to share all my thoughts and ideas with those of you who have been waiting to hear my thoughts and ideas!!!

Let me tell you, Farah had AMAZING HAIR..I mean, right up to the end there, never a lock out of place! I had mom order all her old movies and Charlies Angels episodes for me on Netflix, it seemed the fitting memorial. I sat there, practicing my hair flip all weekend in front of the tv. Roo tried to watch wrestling a few times, but for god sake!! Have you no respect for the dead!! Go into dads game room to watch that ruffian crapola!~! Now, I have managed the hair flip fairly well, and I went out and got some red banded knee socks and rad piped short gym shorts (mom says they were all the rage in the 70's) I've gotten a few looks while we are walking the neighborhood, and I am SURE everyone is just scandalized that they didn't think of such a great tribute to a human with such a nice coat of hair! Now if I can just get mom to agree to let me get those hair extension, my hair flip will look PERFECT! We have the same great sable blonde hair color you know? I wonder who her stylist was, and if he has an opening now?

Now Michael, Michael, Michael....*sigh. His fashion sense was well thought out (minus the pj's and sport coat he wore to court a few years back...not the time for spider man jammy bottoms Mike!~) his makeup was interesting, his music was UNREAL! And now, MY GAWD! I have to say his decorating ability was OUTSTANDING! All the gold statues and everything in his house, so over the top, it was magnificent! Mom says totally nonfunctional, and a bitch to dust it all, but HEY!! I can appreciate it! Plus it's called HIRED HELP MOM!!!!! *scoff like he would pick up a swifter with all the money he has! I tried to schedule a tribute concert at the locale stadium, but the Amplitheater was booked with Kid Rock or something (*ick) and the football stadium just didn't seem appropriate for such a feminine star such as Michael, although from what I have heard, he would appreciate a finely muscle butt in tight pants as much as the next!!! I decided that I wasn't getting enough support for the tribute concert, so I will just mourn him in my own special way. Mom and dad didn't think that starting voice lessons now would help a few weeks down the road for the concert (have they no faith in their golden child!!! ME!!!!) Dad also axed the billboard rental on I-75. I just wanted a shot of me, in my little black dress, looking as perfectly quaffed as I always do with "Lulu will miss you Michael...I was your biggest fan". There was 3 billboards, I bet I could have gotten the price down to a few hundred dollars a piece. I thought it would have been worth it to see me 20 feet tall 50 feet up. What's a few thousand dollars to expose the world to me!!! I proposed this at the dinner table, of course these little heathens here all started yelling Godzilla and making cheesy Japanese movie references when dad asked why the world needed to see a 20 foot version of me since the real one was much cuter. *sigh...I don't get anywhere near the respect I deserve around here. I know mom and dad love me, and support me in whatever, but these larger endeavors they really need to fork over the check book!!!!

I am devoting a chapter in my book to Michael's music and Farah's hair, and how it has influenced a generation, and more importantly, how it has influenced me. May they both rest in peace, and may their hair never frizz, they never have a wardrobe malfunction, and may they always be able to moonwalk even on gritty concrete. Good Bye style icons! LuLu will miss you!! Save me a place at the big hair salon in the sky, they have got to have better shampoo girls than we have here!

~Lulu

The kids are gone and I have lost my mind (or so they say!)

Mom and dad found WONDERFUL homes for all the kids. They all have the most adorable names (Cody, Mimi, Shadow, Chip, and Maggie) I have been running around singing the song "BORN FREE" like that chick from the sound of music in the field. I had Blue put me on this exercise program, and I FEEL GREAT!! I have been watching allot of Deepak Chopra too, and he has shown me how to align my Chakras to release all the tension and just be happy!!! More energy than ever, my tummy is almost flat, and I have been having a ball with this new found freedom!

I have been playing pranks on everyone around here to get them all to lighten up a bit, it has been a HOOT!!! Mom says I'd better be careful because pay backs are hell, but oh my GAWD I will take whatever paybacks are given for these doozies!! Let's see, I downloaded nothing but Metallica on Hanks IPOD, then cranked the volume to 10...he put in his ear buds and I thought he was going to stroke out right then and there when he turned it on for his morning walk! You have to understand, Hank is more of a Huey Lewis and the News sort of guy.

THEN!!! I put clear plastic wrap over all the water bowls and sat back to watch, Cece flattened her nose on one of them, then Cooper squashed his face not once , or even twice...He hit THREE of the water dishes and hit the plastic ALL THREE TIMES!!! LOLOLOLOL

Roo, well....Roo was probably not the nicest thing to do, but man it was funny! He's all about his hair, and looking good for the ladies..He doesn't realize, he is THE ONLY GUY AROUND THAT ISN"T SHOOTING BLANKS!!! I mean come on, being the stud in this kennel is like shooting fish in a barrel!!!! Anyways, I put Nair hair remover in his hair gel...He gets up every morning and gels the hair around his nub and stuff...now he has this BALD SPOT! Not so funny really, I mean , it will grow back and all. Mom said that she is going to start calling around Monday to see if she can find him a nub toupee or something. He's wearing a pair of shorts mom fashioned up for him.

Blue, I should not have done this because well, she is pregnant, and she isn't mean to anyone every...but I glued like 3 toys to the floor...She came barreling in, went to grab her special kitty toy, and literally flipped head over tail because she was expecting it to go with her as she ran by! (needless to say, it didn't) yeah, that one wasn't very nice, but she was laughing with me, so I guess no harm done. ...And of course, I saved the best for last.....LULU!!!! This little gag earned me Big Dog status in this household, when she found out I did it, I have to say, she cornered me, flipped me over and was growling and stuff so much I peed myself a little, but still, it was worth it. Her's was a "muti-layered" approach. hee hee hee ...

Her cake eye liner I replaced with water color paint pellet, so she put it on, the second she stepped outside in the heat WHAMO! Instant eye liner run! (which in her world is tragic)

Her cal trate chocolate things she takes every day, we replaced them with laxative...She was gasy as hell, and lets just say "running" in more ways that one in the bathroom! The next day she had a phone interview with Dog Vouge about something...well..we made sure they were recording the call, and we had a whoopie cushion under her 'throne' or office chair..It sounded like she laid the fart that would be heard around the world!!! We hope that they print that she was having some bodily function issues. Yes, my mean streak has come out to play....I am treating this like my 12 steps to recovery from childbirth...instead of making amends with everyone though I am taking revenge!!! I might even be a sexy devil for Halloween this year....we'll just have to wait and see now won't we!!

* Bella Boo

Oh yeah baby I am the man!!!

Well, this group is almost out the door, no child support due on this one!! Being the stud of this crew has it's perks ya know....I get all the play, without having to pay! My latest conquest Blue is getting a little thick in the middle, so we will be seeing how handsome these little ones are very shortly! Mom is saying that more and more of the puppies are getting my 'build' and she is even considering keeping one of my boys since they are just so handsome! Have you guys heard anything about a new guy coming in from another kennel? Hank and Cooper were talking about it the other day around the water bowl, when I came up they shut up faster than you can say woof. Rumor is there is some little boned chocolate tri with some 'great' blood lines or something...mom seems to think that he and CeCe would make some kind of great puppies. Axel, Afro, Advil...I dunno what his name is....Mutant puppies is what I am thinking! We don't need some pencil necked twerp coming in here and messing with my ho's!! I will have to open up a can of whoop as RooRoo style on em! You may not think I got street cred, but let me tell you what, it takes a serious stud extraordinaire to keep these little ladies round here smiling and coming back for more. If you hear anything about this other guy though, you know where to find me and my peeps.

Pregnancy puts a dent in your dating life--

Pregnancy puts a dent in your dating life-- Yup, the title says it all. My biological clock was ticking, and not to sound like a 16 year old human teenager, but everyone else was doing it, so I took the plunge, or actually, let Roo *ahem "Take the plunge" *wink *wink. I figured I would try a guy once, and that would be that, I could say been there, done that, and then maybe Lulu would lay off me about my Birkenstock and pension for flannel. Oh my surprise when mom looked at me one day, called dad over and said "I think Blue is pregnant". Now, they knew I was experimenting and stuff, and since I'm daddy's favorite, he said that if I didn't want to join the breeding program I didn't have to, him and mommy would love me regardless. Long story short to this fiasco, I'm preggers. It isn't bad really, yeah, I've gained some weight, Lulu keeps referring to me as "The Lane Bryant Girl" What in the HELL does that mean????? CeCe said that it is a store for bigger boned girls, I don't know what she is talking about, I get all my clothes from the Eddie Bauer and LL Bean catalog. (sensibly, well made and comfortable all rolled into one, plus they deliver and I don't have to go to the mall--EW!!! Mall ! That's where Lu and her cronies hang out!) Anyways, I've put on a little weight, I've been practicing my kagels and stomach muscle contractions, in addition to jogging daily so that once these puppy's pop out, I will be back in buff shape. Now back to the dating thing where we all started with this. I was chatting with this cute little chick Jasmine online, we had allot in common, same taste in movies (the art noir type films) like the same type of foods, same type of music (Nirvana of course) and I really thought we might have a future. I told her that I would like to have kids one day, which of course would involve a male at some point (DUH!!! Anatomy 101 people!!) She seemed cool with it. Now mind you, we aren't living together, we haven't exchanged promise microchips or anything here...as far as I knew we weren't even exclusive. I had told her about Roo before, she seemed cool with the whole try bi thing, well, then I told her about our little rendezvous in June...SHE FLIPPED!! She threw a fit, she threw my Nirvana CD's out of her dog bed, AND my favorite Pet Smart Sweaky Loofa before I could even explain. I now understand why women drive men nuts!!! Women drive WOMEN nuts too!!!!! I was upset, mom, Bells, and Cooper got me thru it, there was alot of crying, some doggie ice cream (Coop is lactose intolerant..which is TMI, but thought you should know) and we listened to allot of Enya and Sade (Uncle Hanks...go figure?) But I'm in a good place now. Bellas kids are leaving for their forever homes, so now we can focus on me and my litter coming in August. I got every ones Lamaze books, I've skimmed thru them, it seems pretty self explanatory, the come out, it hurts, it's messy, mom cleans them, me , and the rest of it up, she is sitting there with me, this isn't brain surgery....there's only one way they can come out right? Ok, I'll keep ya posted, I am changing my profile online to "Open minded mom to be in search of that special someone". I might even post it in girl looking for boy section, the guys are way lower maintenance I think.

Finally Blue finsihed up!!!

Good Grief!!! Can you believe that Blue FINALLY got done with her little schedule thing, now we can move onto the more important things...MOI!!!!! So much has happened around here. For starters one of my GORGEOUS daughters Gracie came to visit last weekend. She is a chip off this gorgeous little block if I do say so myself. She was very well mannered, and of course, she is a little hottie, just like her mom! (I'm a MILF baby!!!) It was a really nice weekend, I really enjoyed catching up with her, teaching her some new beauty tricks (how to look like you spent 5 hours getting ready without actually SPENDING 5 hours getting ready, and also that pink is the new black.) Anyways, it was a really nice visit.

I have been busy myself...I have gotten great responses to my fan club, mom helps answer fan mail for me (I'm so busy trying to defriz my hair in the morning with all this humidity) I have been trying to decide whether to start a beauty line, or I could write a book....Maybe like --6 inches tall with a 6 foot attitude. I have contacted a few modeling agencies, I don't really feel they show enough petite dog models out there. ...and who better to represent but me! Mom has some photographer friends that are going to be working on my 'book' of photo's. I just can't wait, something as hot as this shouldn't be kept a secret.

Chow for now!

Lulu

A daily grind....By Blueber

Most of these are rants and stuff by the fruitloops that live here with me (you know who you are) But you know, allot of folks wonder what happens day to day in a place around here. No, it isn't all puppy breath, and cute photo ops (although I do photograph well if I must say) There is allot of work that mom and dad do all the time that makes my cute little head spin. I thought that the world might be interested. If you aren't Lulu is waiting impatiently to get on here since she can't remember the password to dads computer so she can blog (and we all KNOW it ALL ABOUT LU!~ note of sarcasm there) Anyways, take notes if ya gotta, and try to keep up:

5:30am, or when Bella starts barking because she is hungry or Hank is doing the pee pee dance (don't tell him I said that) Mom comes stumbling (ok, walking, but with naturally curly hair, she can be scary with that bed head at that time of the morning) She turns off the alarms, gets everyone up, and out of bed, up and moving and out in the yard. Sometimes she has to carry a few of us individually out there (Hank, Coop and Roo hide under the covers).

While we are all out there sniffin and doing our thing, she is cleaning the floors. She is neurotic about the floors and stuff, she must have stock in Clorox, every day, bleach bleach bleach. Sometimes she puts Pine Sol in it so it smells good too. While that is drying, if we have puppies in the house, she goes in, gets them up, weighs them (at least for the first month every day) checks out everyone, changes their bedding, washes the floor in there with this vinegar stuff (she says puppies can't be by chemicals like bleach, so she uses natural stuff in there) She plays with them for 10-15 minutes or so, gives everyone kisses and hugs, then checks her emails, answers LuLu's fan mail (can you believe that one, if people only knew how bad Lu's looks when she gets up in the morning!) Once the floor is dry, she lets us back in, and gets us breakfast. She will also fix the puppies breakfast, and get everyone their vitamins, and supplements. Then she puts us back out while she gets in the shower and gets herself ready to go.

She is off to her day job at about 7:30. Dad gets up, about this time, and he refills out food bowls, water bowls, and lets us in and out again. He hangs out with us until mom gets home around 11:30. He cleans up our messes (CeCe has a thing for destroying dog beds) and keeps Hank and Roo in line. He cleans up the yard after us, and is always doing stuff around the house. Mom comes home and checks on us, gives us hugs and head scratches, then she goes back to work until 4-5. She feeds us again, and plays with all of us for a few hours when she gets home. He and dad hang out in the yard when they finish all their chores and dinner. Dad got mom a really great swing in the back yard, they sit out there every night with us, listening to the radio, playing fetch with us and stuff, and just letting us run all over the place to burn off our 'energy'.

Dad rounds everyone up around 8:30-9 and gets us all in the house. Mom refills water bowls again, and gets everyone all set up in their beds (Hank refuses to sleep with anyone other than CeCe, Roo farts in his sleep-so he isn't real popular in the dog beds, and Cooper snores, so we all have to rotate.) Mom hits the hay around 9:30-10, dad normally goes to be a little bit later. He locks up, turns on the alarms, and makes sure we are all ready for bed.

I know there is tons of other stuff that mom is always working on whether it is the web site, or puppy stuff, or vet runs, or ordering this or that from us. Dad is ALWAYS got something going on, painting the house, working in the yard, keeping the cars all nice and clean and shiny. But now you know sort of what mom and dad do to keep all us all in line.

Boo boopey BLUE!!!

No one has heard from me in a while, but I'm doing ok.....I have no major neurosis like the other dogs in this house, but I do however have a penchant for hanging out on the dining room chairs, and try to steal the occasional food piece from some unknowing diner.

Mom is actively looking for a guy for me, she said that with my lines and colors, she wants to find the perfect guy for me. I found a cute little number named Jasmine online, but mom and dad said although they love me for who I am, a girlfriend isn't going to do much to continue my great lines. Mom thinks it is an experimental phase, but dad knows the truth, he gets it. Lulu is scandalized, but I told her that Dick Chenney has a daughter who plays for the other team, and it didn't hurt him any, plus I won't be doing duck hunting any time soon to shoot a co worker! I'n not ruling out men entirely of course, I am just a little curious about what all the whopla is! I have watched the movie "Kissing Jessica Stein" like 8-9 times now....Good movie, check it out.

I dunno, maybe it is a phase, maybe it isn't...I'm just not into guys like I guess I should be....My color is gun metal grey, not pink for petes sake! If they think I am dressing up in pink with bows they gotta be nuts!

Regardless, I'll keep ya posted. I've got a few people I'm talking with online, a few guys, one or two chicks...we shall see if any of them will pan out.

Catch ya ont he flip side!

Lulu is dancing with the starts!!!

Ok, yeah, I'm not dancing with the stars...although I should be the next American, European, and just worldwide idol! Yes, Bella gave birth (whoo hoo, been there, done that) Mom is feeding her all the good stuff (the homemade dog food) BUT! because I am the queen bee round here, I still get to sneak in the bedroom, snuggle with mom, sit in her lap, and I don't care who these other nubs think they are, I am in charge! I really just wanted mom to give me one of the puppies, god knows Bella isn't capable of raising 5 of them to as smart as me. Mom said that I acted like a junkie or something pacing outside the delivery room. If being addicted to yourself is a crime, then I am there baby!! Anyways, enough about everyone else, lets talk about me. I have decided NOT to run for mayor of KRT, the more I thought about it, all the demands of politics would interfere with my massage, manicure, and hair appointments (a girl has to look her best of course) so instead I am just going to take over as CEO, and el presidente of KRT. That way I can be one of those power chicks....wear the power suit, strut in to the occasional board meeting, show them my brains and good looks, collect my check, and be on my way to my yoga class be fore noon. I have signed Bella up for a Pilate's class, hopefully the poor thing will take me up on it, I don't have the heart to tell her that 8 droopy boobs are nothing to show off. I do promise for all my fans out there, that I will be blogging more often though I know everyone wants to know what is going on....as soon as I can commandeer the puppy to give them appropriate guidance I will definitely let you know!

Yes, I am finally a mom.....

I did it!!! I did it all by myself! Miss Bella Boo Kirkland is a mother of 5 gorgeous puppies! Sasha is the oldest, she is a black tri just like her mom and dad, FiFi is the second, she is all white, but a little bit of black on her nub and head, and of course the gorgeous blond eyebrows, Chip was the first little man born, he's a chocolate tri like aunt CeCe, then Cody, he's a chocolate tri just like his brother, then last but not least, Squeaks, she is my little baby, she is just so squeaky and cute. It has been 3 weeks now to the day. MY mommy has been giving me all sorts of good food and stuff (this grilled turkey mixture with veggies, brown rice, and all sort of vitamins mixed in for me) Dad says I have a skinny little but and I am all boobs now, I guess I could be like Jessica Simpson with my Double D's (although I have like 8 double D's) The kids are all doing well, all are over a pound, and mom lets me hang out with everyone else more instead of staying with the kids all the time. Now we just have to find them all good little homes....Cody picked a nice forever home in Orlando, they have 2 boys, and seem really really nice. Mom screens everyone really carefully to make sure they will take good care of the babies. Lulu keeps wanting to borrow one of the girls to 'show her the ropes' but there is no way that psycho is coming anywhere near my babes. Check out the new pictures mom puts up on the web page (http://www.krtkennels.com/) They are just so friggin CUTE!!!!!!

I'm a cat, yes I am aware of this....

Greetings and salutations...I'm Smokey, Big Kee, or just KEEEEEE as mom calls me. I had to comment on all this hoopla and shenanigans going on here. I'm a 8 year (give or take a few) very LARGE (I'm big boned and fluffy) Tuxedo cat. I tip the scales at about 24 pounds, but let me tell you, I'm just a REALLY big boy. I'm not huge, fat, or pudgy, I got it where it counts! Dad had me when he met mom, he got me as a kitten. He brought mom home one day, she was ok, she brushed me, gave me treats, let me sleep on the bed, and introduced me to the whole "outdoor experience" (she would take me outside to check out the world as often as she could...once dad gave a key tot he place, she was takin me out all the time) They got together, mom liked dogs, they got the dummies, and now I'm outs numbered big time. They did get me a really cool fountain on the porch with some fish in it...hey, how many cats do you know have their own fish names Lenny and Squiggy? (I'm a fan of Laverne and Shirley re runs) Plus, she got the dogs, and she can dress them up in their little sweaters and stuff...could it BE anymore humiliating??

Anyways, I'm 8sih, good looking, healthy, happy, and planning on hanging out for some time. I have been surfing the web and found the most awesome web site http://catfoodreviews.com I went on there, checked out a few items, and have narrowed down which food is going to keep be buff and more distinguished instead of nappy looking. (no one likes hair balls or matted hair) I turned the other cat in the house, Stinky onto it too. He's alot more 'vain' than I am, he struts around on the fences all the time and is a lot more agile then me, but then again, he is a bit of a show off too. Anyways, if you love cats, and of course, you would be crazy if you didn't we are the lower maintenance critter of choice other than fish (have you TRIED to snuggle a fish lately, come on man, get with the program here) check out this web site....it ROCKS!!! http://catfoodreviews.com ...and tell him Smokey Kirkland, hostage at KRT Kennels sent ya

Do I look fat?

Well everyone, it's almost here....according to the calender in MY whelping room, the one in the kitchen, on mommy's blackberry, and on her IPOD note thingy, I am due any day now...... It has 56 days marked just this past Thursday...mommy thinks that I am going to have them on Sunday, that is mothers day she says, so that would be a good day for the babies to make their debut. I in theory have until next Thursday (63 days) until I am past due, and I have to be honest with you, I am really enjoying the extra pampering and attention. For starters I get to sleep on the comfy sleep number bed every night. Daddy picks me up, snuggles me in by mom, and turns on the ceiling fan so I will be comfy. If I flip over, he will rub my belly too and call me his momma girl. Once he falls asleep, I just put my head on mommy's arm, or start licking her arm or something, and WHOALLA!!! She gets up, or wakes up I should say, and will scratch my ears or rub my belly. Momma gets up early to make sure she carries me outside to go do my business, then she will take me back in , put me back on the bed, and I get to hang out for an hour or so. I get extra food, and we are talking the extra good stuff. And CeCe tells me that once I have the kids, mom will start feeding me grilled chickend and this special stuff she makes for new mommy's to keep us happy and healthy. Anyways, I want to have the little squirts, I can 't wait, but then again, I really like all the extra attention. Lulu is SO JEALOUS! Mom is always getting after her because she can be sort of mean to us......but CeCe says it is because she isn't the queen bee anymore, and because with each litter momma keeps saying that the puppies look better and better, and she is happy about the direction the breeding program is in. Basically Lulu isn't all that and a bag of chips anymore. I really like chips personally, but I never was that crazy about Lulu...I dunno....anyways, stay tuned, we will hav the baby nubs pretty soon!!!!

Love, Bella!

Less than 20 days and I'm a mommy!!!!

My little belly is starting to show (Gosh I hope I don't get stretch marks) Mom ordered all my stuff that I will need, we have my new whelping bed set up, and I'm going thru my list of names!! I'm not sure how many I have, I can tell mom and dad are a little worried because they say that I'm a big girl, so that could mean like 5-6 puppies, which I always wanted a big family, but I don't want to be called the octo-mom dog or anything. I will be going to the vet to have them check me out next week so I will know though...if it is like 6 or something I could get a tv deal or something "Roo and Bells plus 6" Has a snappy ring to it. LuLu says she is going to start working on the networks once we find out how many I am having. I think I will go with the classic names like "Scooby" and Spot, maybe throw a Coco or FiFi in there if they are girls. * Sigh, I'm just so excited I can barely stand it, well, excited, and always hungry. LOL I don't know why mom is giving me pills to make me mean...well..they don't make me mean, but I know Lulu must take them daily...they are called "bitch pills". Mom says they are prenatal vitamins to go along with my special food and stuff to make sure everyone is getting enough nutrients, but why would they call them 'bitch pills' wouldn't sweet pregnant dog pills to help keep them healthy make more sense to you? I might have to ask Lulu about marketing some stuff with that...although she will steal the idea, claim it as her own, make a million off it, and then still steal my chew bone with a smile. I may be floppy Bells, but I know how that one works. Chow for now!! (no, it's time for breakfast, so it is really chow NOW!!!)

Love, Bella

FOLLOW UP FROM BLUE THE ONLY SANE ONE HERE

To everyone......Please forgive Lulu's 'rant' about Martha Stewarts dogs Francesca and Starkey. We (well, everyone else in the household other than Lu) thinks it is awesome that they are blogging. She is having a bad hair day or something, and has been on a rampage since she got up this morning.....Although I have no idea why, she snuck in and slept with mom all night, and stole everyone else's scooby snacks too this morning. Anyways, we don't want to start a war with anyone, or tick anyone off, we are really fond of Martha's magazine (Bella and I have personally tried several of her recipes for entertaining, Tres Magnifique!~ And Hank of course consults with his Martha Stewart decorating books all the time..although probably not a good thing that I told you that..you didn't hear it from me, or he will pinch my nub when I least expect it)

So Martha, Francesca, and Starkey, feel free to ask if you guys need anything! We (other than Lu) will be thrilled to help!!

Sincerely,

Ellie Blue Kirkland.....AKA...Blue

Oh HECK NO!!

That is it! I was reading MSN this morning, and I think I may call my lawyer, well, mom's lawyer, and well, without poseable thumbs, mom will actually have to call, but anyways...Martha Stewart is a COPY CAT!!!! (or maybe dog in this case) This whole dogs blogging thing was something I started last year, and now, *scoff, cal you believe it, her two french bulldogs are NOW BLOGING AND TAKING ALL MY PRESS!!!!!!!! Francesca and skippy, or stewie, or snappy (I don't remember what the boy dogs name is) I swear, teach a dog french and they will take credit for everything!! I was going to send her an email telling her that I Lulabelle LaRue was the brains behind the whole idea, but mom says never mess with someones dog who spent time in prison and can make a mean cream brule! (aka...Martha Stewart) I don't know, I just don't get it...I suppose everyone with a nub, four legs, and a computer is going to be blogging now....Just so that all my fans out there who have stuck with me over the years, and will worship me for the goddess that I am realize, Martha's dogs are copying me! Dad says I never actually INVENTED blogging or anything, and well, it is a free country I guess, so well, I just feel like everyone is trying to emulate me now. Mom says imitation is the best flattery, but personally I think that swavorsky crystal collars and the occasional pedicure are much more flattering! Well...I have ranted enough, all this stress is going to cause wrinkles....Cooper!!! Cooper!!!!! Get me my eye gel please, I need to hydrate!! Blue!! Back away from that water dish!!!

~ LuLu the great

Hank, get some therapy would ya?

I swear, you would think that dog was the center of the universe....between him and Lulu it is a wonder that mom and dad ever got any other dogs, in the first place. And for the record, Coconut Splash DOES make us smell really good...Pine air fresheners are for the CAR, not my NUB HANK!!! If you didn't always get CAR SICK like a SISSY you would know this!! I on the other hand get to go EVERYWHERE with mom because I am just a good navigator!! SO THERE!!!!! NEENER NEENER NEENER!!!!

It was bath night, our mom and dad promised they were going to stay home all weekend with us (MOVIES, POPCORN, SNUGGLING IN BED ALL WEEKEND...now THAT's what I'm TALKIN ABOUT!!) So we got our baths and stuff tonight. It isn't as bad as Hank makes it out to be, mom has NEVER hurt us trimming our nails, and she got Hank this nail filer thing so that as she said "It won't be as stressful on him" Can you believe this crap? Anyways, ears are clean, breath smells pretty good...well...it smells like turkey, I have to agree with this while turkey toothpaste thing, but hey, mom at least is trying to make it interesting...I tried to get her to get the beef flavored stuff at the pet store, but she thought the turkey would be better. (I have no idea how her and dad can stand to brush their teeth as much as they do...and their toothpaste must be grass flavored or something, it is this sparkly green stuff in the tube-YUCK!)

I have been working on this stink for about 2 weeks now, I almost had it with the right mix of backyard dirt, stinky socks, and something smeared on the garage floor I rolled in, I was going to call it "Eau De Coop" but now, after my bath, I am Coconut Splash Coop...which isn't bad. Mom washed all our beds and stuff too, *sigh, I might have to go find a pile of something in the yard when she isn't looking, I don't know how long I can stand to smell this good....plus, when I am aromatic, LuLu and Hank don't like to stand to close, and let's be honest, that's ALWAYS a good thing. You can't get too close to them anyways, their ego's are almost too big for the room!

I'll let you guys know what movies we watch...I always wanted to be like a movie reviewer....Coopers Corner, Coopers best flicks, COOPFLIX! I smell a marketing opportunity!!! Oh, no wait, CeCe just hasn't had her bath yet..WHEW!!! Either way, I will let you know how they are, and whether I would recommend them.....4 bones is worth seeing, 3 bones is ok, 2 bones if there are no law and order re runs on , and 1 bone is worth burying in the back yard under the magnolia tree never to be found again.

^ Chow for now!!! Cooper

QUICK!!! What's the number for 911!!!

Yeah...some Friday evening we had here at the old dog house!!! IT was BATH NIGHT!!! Oh my gawd! This is abuse and humiliation of the worst kind, I tell you if I had pose able thumbs, I would be calling my local representative RIGHT NOW to have this sort of thing outlawed! *DEEP BREATH**** Ok, for those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, we have a Bath Day, or a Bath night depending on the weather. This means that once a month (sometimes more depending on how dirty some of these little grunge muffins get) We all have our ears cleaned, our teeth brushed, our nails trimmed, and of course, our baths and flea stuff put on. It all sounds good and well, I myself prefer not to sit in the dirt or get dirty at all, and of course DO NOT participate in such activities as throw Roo in the dirt, and flip over Lu or the Blue in the flower bed, but the other "Ratties" around here do. (I told you I was the only civilized one in the place) Roo, Cooper, Lulu, CeCe and Bella are the mindless little lemmings, they will go right in, get their stuff done, get their baths, and just be happy, Blue, well, she has a small ounce of brains, she at least makes some sort of consorted effort to evade mom. I on the other hand find it rather humiliating! Mom did get this pedicure thing that files my nails, which is helpful, those nail clippers are just barbaric! And what FOOL came up with turkey flavored doggie toothpaste? We have these electric toothbrushes, and although they give me that rock star smile, frothy turkey toothpaste would be an atrocity to be seen if anyone ever snapped a picture. Lulu has threatened on occasion to snap one with the cell phone, and of course post it at the local dog park or pet smart, but she knows better than to mess with the doodle, its the quiet ones you have to look out for. Anyways, mom give us our 'beauty treatments' and we survive....it doesn't hurt, except for my ego a bit. We have our special shampoos, I keep trying to explain to her that I need something for body, because if she uses that normal deodorizing stuff, it just makes me friz around my muzzle. I asked for some cologne also, I suggested a Drakar Noir...nice sleek black bottle, kind of like me...classy but pungent, but instead the girls got very berry, and I shouldn't even admit this, but she got the boys Coconut SPLASH!!! Do I LOOK like I would want to smell like a fruit drink!!??? Martini maybe, beach beverage, I think not!! Roo likes it, Cece and Bells say it makes us smell good. Cooper likes it too, but jesus, you could take one of those cardboard pine air freshener things and tie it to his nub and he would think it was great...Oh, why couldn't they have decided to breed Min Pins instead of these barbarians!!!

They say these ears look like a bunnies?

Here we are!!! Can you BELIEVE it is almost Easter!! We would love some rabbits to play with, but mom got us some stuffed little squeaky rabbits instead. We all voted, and thought the real ones would be more fun, like interactive or something, but then Blue and CeCe went nutso and took the squeaker out of a few of our toys (they do things like this...chew first, think later) and needless to say, the real bunny thing got vetoed rather quickly by our humans.

I've been a busy little stud muffin (more muffin that stud as mom says, I do muffin top a bit on my collar, but that is just because my SHOULDERS ARE MASSIVE MAN!! You should see me flexing, I'd make AHHHNOLD the terminator green with envy!) Anyways, me and Lu had 3 cute little rug rats, me and CeCe managed 5 (glad she got to deliver them and not me! There was a Nascar race that day I had money riding on) and now, with my ever so studly self, I've got some twerp's coming along with Bella. At some point Blue will give into my charms, but right now she just keep biting my back legs and ears, and yanking my collar when I'm not looking....I think she LIKES me!!! HUBBA HUBBA!!! The mom is talking about getting a new 'STUD' for CeCe, since she says she has " A specific plan for our breeding program involving the colors, and body shape of the Teddy Roosevelt Terrier" My answer to all that whooey is ROO IS HERE BABY~!!! BRING ON THE GIRLS ~! NO ONE CAN GET ENOUGH OF THE ROO ROO!!!. I'm the only stud they need around here....*Scoff* who are they kidding? There's enough RooRoo to go around, although it might be nice to have someone step in, after all, 4 girls, only one me! Hank and Cooper have been tutored, so they can't do anything, which, they aren't as cool as me, so I suppose it is a good thing they can't have the kids round here.
Well, it's time for my protein shake, gotta keep the muscle tone going, so many girls, so little time!

I am CeCe hear me roar!!

Hi there everyone! Well, I'm back!!! I've had a litter of puppies, took a creative writing course (no more run on sentences) I've taken up Yoga (I'm calmer now) and I've started watching Oprah in the afternoon, and let me tell you, she has done WONDERS for me!! You go girl!!
I had 5 beautiful puppies in January with my best friend Roo, it was so special! Lulu coached (ok, screamed in my ear afew times, called me a wimp once or twice and told me to suck it up more times than I can remember during labor) But mom was there, she kept me calm, helped me get everyone cleaned up, and pampered me to the max afterwards. I had 3 boys, 2 girls, all happy, healthy, and the perfect combo of me and Roo. They were all happy all the time, and were no problem what so ever. I know everyone says they have the cutest and best behaved kids, but in my case it is really the truth! Mom found some really really nice people all over the country that they went to live with (or maybe they found mom? not really sure) Anyways, the kids are all in their new homes, we get lots of update pictures, and I can fit in my old collar that I wore when I first got here! Now Bella is going to have kids, and I'm so excited that I'm going to be an AUNT!! I'm there for you Bells! YOU GO GIRL!!! (p.s....I have some really good what to expect when you are expecting 5 puppies books!)

Lulu extroidinaire!!

Yes, it is I!!! Lulu the wonderful, Lulu the gorgeous, I am the sun to everyone else's earth. *Sigh. I decided to take a break from my busy PR campaign (lulu for mayor) to let everyone in on my fabulous life! As I'm sure one of these little blabber mouths have told you , I had some puppies in January....that went well..I got to sleep on mom and dads sleep number bed the last 2 weeks (that's the drill with me because I look pathetic and my ankles swell a bit...CANKLES WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE 3 INCH LEGS IS TRAGIC!!!) Anyways, I had two girls, one boy, all gorgeous, smart (brilliant actually) and so much fun! They all have gone to wonderful homes and all have other fur siblings, so they will be able to grace them with their presences! I'm happy to report that I have my sexy little bikini body back, I would love to say that I did with no exercise, lots of water and watching what I ate (no scooby snacks!) But to tell the truth, dog Pilate's and belly dancing is what I can credit this washboard stomach to. I was little concerned about the baby weight initially, and since mom babies us for the first few weeks along with the puppies, I can't say that taking care of them helped me get back in shape. CeCe had some puppies too...5 I think, I kept trying to convince mom and dad just to give them all to me to take care of since I'm not only brilliant, but good looking too, and could teach them the "CORRECT" way of doing things. They wouldn't go for it....They are not here anymore, so I can only ASSUME if CeCe didn't loose them between the whelping bed and puppy play area outside that they MUST have gone home with someone. Enough about puppies...I'm back to patrolling the yard for any wayward bad guys (still haven't found any) and making sure the other dogs in the house don't get too rowdy. It's tough being me, so much work, so much maintenance to always look my best, but I face it like the classy *itch I am and set the bar higher every day.

Bella Boo what is new?

Hi everyone , it's me the Floppy Bells...WOW, lots has happened since I was on here last. CeCe and Lu and a litter of puppies, mom and dad are still working on the remodel of the house, and now I'm going to have some puppies of my own! I'm really excited, because I see how much fun mom and dad have with them while they are running around, I just can't wait. I'm a little worried though, I think it might hurt. I know mom will be right there with me like she always is with everyone, and she wouldn't let anything happen to us, but I dunno. I would like to take a doggie Lamaze class or something...maybe I will just watch the discovery channel so that I can get the whole breathing thing right. I asked Roo if he would be my Lamaze coach, but he has the attention span of a flea (no offence fleas) so I will probably ask uncle Cooper next. He's always calm, and he can count (which from what I have watched on ER, they are always asking how far apart something is and looking at their watch...I don't have a watch, maybe Coop does. I'll keep ya posted!!!
