What we've been doing!

Since we've last posted, here's what's been going on.

1. Zowie had her special "parts" surgery. Here she is wearing a t-shirt while she was recovering.

(Note: The stuffy chipmunk was headless at the time of this photo and has sense been consumed-that was MY munk)

2. We have PRESENTS!!! We don't have a tree because John and Kelly think that we'll destroy it--but we do have PRESENTS!!! So I am guarding the presents really well. Just look at me.

"Sniff, sniff" There must be something tasty in this one.

3. While I'm on guard duty--ding dong Zowie has taken to watching TV. Can you believe it? She watched about an hour of TV the other day. It was the Military channel doing a show on dogs that worked in the Pacific during WW II. She was very intrigued!



She was especially interested in these German boys.

Only a few more days until Christmas. I promise that I have been very good. . .really!

Thanksgiving Essay Part 2

I know that many of you are very interested in the continuation of our trip to Florida. I would love to share lots of pictures with you, but I forgot to take them on account of the fun we were having. And sadly, you all probably remember Kelly's poor excuse of photography skills, so she wasn't allowed to use the camera.

I decided since we got back home to try and see if Zowie can get some skills going with the camera. Here is one of her attempts at a group shot. I think it is pretty good. She needs to work on her aim, but who is that stunning guy in the background?? Well, surprise, it's me! Look at my perch. I am simply amazing!


I wanted to let everyone know that Zozo is doing much better after her special surgery. Here's a shot I took of her eating MY bone. I thought I could share with her on account of her owie on her belly.



FYI: She is all ready to do zoomies but J & K won't let her because she still has 7 staples in her tummy. Phhbt! I had like 10 or 11 when I had my surgery. She's such a wimp. And I barely licked it. STUD!

Now back to the trip down south. We had lots of fun, but alas...your wishes and hopes were not met......NO TURKEY!!!! Can you believe it? They had all this grub everywhere and we didn't get to do anything but smell it. Who's the Lame-O's? But Grandma and Grampa were nice enough to let us play and run free in their house. They had white tile and white carpet. I got to meet Kelly's brother and sister in law too. No really. . . they are into law as well. Does that make them in law in laws?? Aroooo, roooooo, roooo. I just came up with that one right here!! They are more cat people but they really liked us tons. Maybe on account of our pointy ears or something. Personally I think it is because we are just irresistible!

I have talked and talked up a storm and Kelly is telling me to quit pawing because I am gonna bore you all with the details.

More to come later. Have a great nite!

Paws,

Ozzie

PS. Here is a much more accurate depiction of the couch scene with Grampa

What We've Been Doing

Hiya Efurryone! Well, John said that since I couldn't play with Zowie that I needed to write a "theme" on my Thanksgiving vacation. Here it goes.

My Thanksgiving Vacation Part I

by Ozzie--the super-cool hunter/killer

Zowie and I took a roadtrip to Florida to visit grandma and grandpa for Thanksgiving. Zowie slept the whole way down and back in the car. I, on the other hand, decided to squeek and moan for six hours in the car.

Grandma and Grandpa were super-fun and they had sooo much food at their house. This is the second time that I have seen my grandparents. Here's a link to the first time if you want to get caught up. My grandparents have gotten so much smaller than the last time that I saw them. Strange, huh? Some things never change, though. . I was still forced to sing "Home on the Range"--just like last time. Why do they DO that???

Here's a picture of how well-behaved we were at their house. Notice how calm and peaceful we were.

We have been relaxing quite a bit since we got home.

Part II coming soon. .

Ozzie

We've been Lame-O's

I wanted to put up a quick post to let everyone know we are all OK here. Zowie had surgery on Wednesday and is doing well. She is being threatened with the dreaded lampshade. She did get her girlie parts messed with and appears ready to play. J & K won't let her play with me so I too am tortured. I will get some photos up as soon as the end of the day.

We miss you all and apologize for our absence.

Have a great Friday.

Ozzie

Happy Halloween

Hello Everyone,

It's Ozman (and Zozo) and we thought we'd get you up to date on our day. John and Kelly said that today is Halloween. Anyway, Halloween pretty much means to me that a bunch of people are coming around begging door to door for food. This is RIGHT up our alley and we are really hoping that John and Kelly will take us out and that there is a nice selection of chicken, beef and possum. We have our paws crossed.

In the mean time, here we are looking innocent in the back yard playing with one of our favorite sticks.

Have a Happy and Safe Halloween (that's Howl-o-ween to you!)

Ozzie and Zozo

Hey all, Zowie here.

Me and Oz think having John around is pawesome. There are so many great things that happen because he is hear. I want to give a very howl out to John's old boss. Because of him and well me, I get to share this wonderful picture with you:

Yep! You got it! That is one of the most amazing things you ever get to see. It is MY CRATE. Now don't get me wrong. I love my crate. I know it is where I sleep and I am very happy to spend time in it. But here's the part where it gets super cool. Can you guess?? That's right! I am not it it. Because John is home, I get to spend my days like this!

"You mind not pointing that thing at me. They say it steals your soul."

Which is much better than being in the box. Ozzie likes it too. Well. He really doesn't give a squirrels bottom because he is free when they are not at home anyway. Something about him graduating. Apparently they forgot about the toothbrush and toothpaste incident already. How quickly they have selective memory loss.

This is how Oz spends his day (except when I am ruling him with my mighty incisors!).

"Can't you see I am trying to work over here"

He claims he is holding the couch up, but like DUH! It has its' own feety feets silly!

Anyways. I just wanted to share a little bit of our days with you. And just so you know, I am always ready for a good apple. More on this later. But, you know what they say right, "An apple a day keeps the mean vet away." Frankly, I don't understand this because I love Dr. Evans and Colleen. THEY ROCK! More on this apple thing later.

"What? No belly rubs?"

"You WILL give my my belly rubs...What? Did yo say kibble? OK. I'm yours."

Have a great Friday efurryone!

Pawz,

Zozo

Hey efurryone. Oz here. It's raining today.

Guess what I like to do when it's wet out. Pretty much as little as possible. These are some fun places to do nothing.

I usually sleep here right by the front door making sure no one can out without my approval, ie. dominance.

"If you even try to move me"

Again, by the door. This time using the strong hind legs to block the door. Recognize the sheer force.

"Excuse me. Do you have a pass to get through?"

Here I am watching TV with John.

"ahhhh...the comfy male 1973 May Model"

This is the place I go to when it is 'leave me alone' time. Note the tear in the front. This occurred when they had someone watch me and he left me in there sleeping while he went to the store. Obviously, that will not happen again. Once again....Dominance!

"Don't even try to make me come out. You know the rules."

Oh, and here's a fascinating video of Zowie trying to learn how to swim. This is a little old, She's bigger than that now.

I also wanted to come clean on a few things. I led you fuzzez on regarding my pawesome ability to open doors the other day. Well....phbbt! to John. I can't. He opened the door the other day and I wanted to look all smart-like. As we all know, we don't have thumbs and these thumbless paws don't open doors. Sad :(

Also, if John wasn't made of sugar, we could go out there to take a picture of the gap between the my perch and the fence. This is rather large and I wanted efurryone to know I have zero intention of trying to make the leap to freedom. I will post a pic once it is dry again so John wont melt.

Hoping your day is dryer that ours,

Ozzie
