Good Bye 2009, HELLO 2010!

I hope you all have had a great New Years Eve with hoomans and doGs that you love!

I spent a wet New Years Eve in the comfort of MY house, on MY cozy bed (with somestinky..).

First, I decided to do some reading,


I got STINKY the "Airedale Terrier Today" book so he can study how to be a proper Airedale and not a landshark,


Since I was already the PERFECT Airedale and there was no room for me to get any better, I grabbed the most recent issue of DogGQ magazine, (you can biggify by clicking on it)


I couldn't help it but smile when I saw a blond Mango,


He wasn't as good looking or muscular as my handsome brindle friend Mango, but if that's all I could get on New Years Eve, then I wasn't gonna complain.

Then....


I just couldn't help myself.....


I settled down, and once again went back to my DogGQ,


I found Dennis the Vizsla without his hat,


Ohhhh Dennis the khooool detective/Indiana Jones Vizsla,


Ohh.....


My imagination got the better of me again......


(mum: for all of Sunshade's new friends, I introduce to you - Missssss Sunshaaaaaaade! For all of Sunshade's old friends, age hasn't changed her, she's still all there LOL! I know some of you may not agree with me on this, but because Sunshade has never even tried to mount a person or another dog that I personally don't feel the need to stop her from doing this comical act.)

After I recomposed, I came to a page that was supposed to be my handsome friend Tobes, aka Toby LittleDude,


However, the GQ model looked more like my gurrrrlfriend Snowball, who was a gurrrl. I was a little confused,


When I finally took a little break (boy did I need it) and looked over, STINKY was ... well, totally NOT studying on how to be a non-landsharking Airedale!!!


He is so helpless.....

There are more pictures of STINKY slacking off during our study session on his blog for those of you who would like to offer help......

Seeing that he had had enough, and my hips were getting sore from reading the DogGQ... I decided to turn on the TV and see what was going on in the Big Apple,



Of course, what's a movie without the popcorn?


What's the count down without snacks?


We were all set for the count down!

FIVE!

I'm 10, and my reaction was a gazillion times faster than a 3 year old!

FOUR!

gazillion minutes later.....

THREE!

TWO!

ONE!

All gone?

(mum: that's the wrong thing to say Sunshade!!)

Sleep time?

(mum: try again....)

Ok ok....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hope you all have a great 2010 ahead!!



2010 will be an important year for Canadians, especially Vancouerites because....



The 2010 Winter Olympics......



Is coming to MY city!!!

With Christmas........

With all the X-mas cheers,


and X-mas smiles,



Comes craziness.....


and PUBLIC humiliation!



With all the X-mas gatherings....


with the (annoying) loved ones,


Comes embarrassment....... (yes, I was horrendously embarrassed, can you tell? unlike the STINKY-reindeer)



With all the X-mas shredding,


and blur-ness,


Comes GORGEOUS-NESS (of course!),


and..you guessed it, even more MAJOR public humiliation.......


Let me describe to you the scene. So not only did my EVIL-mum decided to dress me, STINKY as well as our DaleMOBILE up, she also had the great idea to drive us to the University of British Columbia campus and parked the ReindeerMOBILE in the middle of the road. She proceeded to making STINKY "staaaaaaaay" beside the ReindeerMOBILE while she got me into my "staaaaaaaaaaaaay" position. Of course by the time she got me to my "staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" position, STINKY was running up and down the campus road with the reindeer antlers in his mouth, throwing it up into the air from time to time. So after repeating "staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" for the gazillionth time with me, she called STINKY and once again put him in his "staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay" position. Me being the perfect me STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYED.

Now when this was all done, a crowd had built up in front of us. Cars parked to watch live humiliation performance. People awwwwwww-ed and wowwww-ed and giggled. Some even got out of their car and started capturing photos of the live humiliation from left, right, and all angles while my EVIL-mum chanted "staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay".

With all the X-mas activities,


and festivities,


comes...... need I say more? (there were people taking pictures from the left, and right, can you tell?)



With all the (unwanted) X-mas kisses,


Comes lots of (suffering) caroling,


as well as ..... yes, that....



Lastly, with all the X-mas stick picking,


and stick eating,


Comes an unforgettable ......


X-mas....


I hope all of you hoomans and doGs have had a X-mas as memorable as mine.....

MERRY X-MAS!!

Merry X-mas EVERYONE & EVERYPUP!!

Yes, unfortunately, I had to share MY card with STINKY.......

Alternatives for MY Treat Machine

Since I have a 200% accuracy at using my treat machine, mum has been trying to find other healthy alternatives to use instead of the grain-free kibbles that was used in the beginning. She said she didn't want me to eat a bunch of kibbles on top of my normal raw diet.

So she came home with the following,


Two boxes of wheat-free/gluten free cereals (I got SuperWHEAT-ALLERGY), and some raw nuts!


I've never had those cereals before because mum tries to give me food/treats that are low in grains/carbs.

Will they be good?


Since mum was taking too long being trigger happy (as usual), I decided to find out by my SuperSELF if those new treats were good!


But mum said I had to WAIIIIIIIIT!


Because she wanted to do this first,


Every item was laid out on the plate,


STINKY got a plate too,


Mum wanted to see if I would eat everything.

The item list included: almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and the two kinds of cereals.


Finally, I was set free to EAT!



The Verdict: everything can go in the treat machine, EXCEPT pumpkin seeds, thank you!


They're so small you can barely taste them, so why eat them right??

Read my lips: Who-eats-pumpkin-seeeeeds?


The rest of the ingredients were bagged and mixed,


And poured into MY treat machine (with a little bit of the yummy Orijen kibbles)!


Now hopefully I can have more than just a couple pulls at a time!!

AND I DID!!!

The "other" treat machines - FIXED!!!

Disclaimer: I, Miss Sunshade, the PERFECT SuperDALE was made to do this post.

A while ago, I posted about my "other" treat machines. After that post, the general consensus amongst my readers were that those so called "treat machines" were BROKEN and that I should get a REFUND!

So I told my "other" treat machines about what's been said, so they MADE me post this video,

(notice my SuperPAW was on the "other" treat machine's lever during the first half of the video)

All I can say is that those "other" treat machines were only temporarily fixed (for the video), and they soon broke AGAIN... no warranties on them either....SIGH...

(mum: there is nothing like a loud whining, singing, humming, groaning, grumbling, barking Airedale in the background during the most eerie/intense moments of a movie. And if you could, imagine that together with periodic paw swipes on the back of your leg. Welcome to dinner with my Sunshade girl!!! She has sent me laughing during the most untimely moments at dinner time.)
