Poor Customer Service

What's a dog got to do to get a meal around here?
I did not just hear the word "Diet", did I?
Oscar's the fat guy, not me. Put him on the stinking diet!
You just can't cut a boy off from his food bowl!
I'm calling my lawyer!

And miles to go before we sleep...

So much to blog about today so let's jump right into it with all twelve of our feet and get going!


First of all... Happy Earth Day!

We're not going to bombard you with all the ways you can reduce your carbon footprints. We're sure you are hearing it everywhere you turn today. We are just offering up some easy canine suggestions:
1. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
2. Use biodegradable doggie poo bags
3. Buy organic
See? Wasn't that pretty harmless and so easy to do?


Next, we would like to make a clarification about our post yesterday regarding McDonald's new burger. We NEVER said we have actually eaten a burger from McDonald's. In fact, our mom "doesn't shop there" unless our littlest girl deems it absolutely necessary. We've never eaten a burger or tasted a french fry (but not from lack of trying). We are ubber jealous of Mango for getting to eat the fries. Lucky Dog!!! We just thought it would be really cool if they named the new burger after one of us since we are really cool dogs. A dogs allowed to dream!

Now, to the good stuff. We have been given this wonderful award from our friend Moose at Dogtalk and our friends Baby Rocket Dog and Hootie. These guys are awesome and we encourage everyone to go check out their blogs.

This wonderful award is given as a dedication for those who love blogging activity and love to encourage friendships through blogging.

The rules are:

~ We must put the award in one post as soon as we receive it.
~ We must not forget to mention the dog(s) who gave us the award
~ We must answer the Awards question by writing the reason why we love blogging
~ And finally, we must tag and distribute the Award to as many friends as we like.
(Must remember to notify the awardees and put their links in our post)

So, our reason for blogging and why we love it. Hmmm......
We would have to say the real reason we love to blog is because we are mouthy and opinionated and feel this is a great way to share the trials, tribulations ups and downs and everywhere in between in our lives. We started our blog as a branch for our moms dog treat business but we quickly took over. We LOVE being able to poke fun at each other, share our crazy quirks and habits and just voice ourselves. We are three lucky dogs! Life is an adventure and we enjoy sharing our adventures with all our friends. We have made so many friends via our blog! We would never have been able to meet so many cool doggies throughout the world had it not been for this incredible forum. Friends... Family... Fun! That sums it all up. Thanks everyone and keep your comments coming. We enjoy each and every one.

We want to pass this award on to ANY DOG OR BLOGGER who has not received it yet. You are all deserving so grab it and go! Share your reasons for your love of blogging and let us know when you make your post. We want to hear all your crazy reasons too!

Happy Earth Day everyone.
Tinkerbell, Oscar and Tucker

A brand new burger

McDonald's Corp.'s new one-third-pound Angus burger appears to be set for a national rollout this fall, and possibly as early as the summer. It would be McDonald's first new burger in eight years. What would you name McDonald's new burger?

Oscar: My suggestion is "The Big O"

Tucker: No man. How about the "Tuckerasaurus... with cheese!"

Tinkerbell: You two are totally wrong. I'm thinking the "Tink Tink"



Hey Mango - a new burger to go with those fries that you love!

Yet another Scam Alert

Good citizens Tinkerbell, Oscar and Tucker here wanting to make you aware of yet another scam.

This one is called the AFLAC SCAM.

Police say that the gang usually is comprised of four members - one adult and three younger ones.

While the three younger ones, all appearing sweet and innocent, divert their "mark" (or intended target - your moms and dads) with a show of friendliness, the fourth -- the eldest -- sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pocket or purse for any valuables and money. (Remember - this is every dogs treat and food money)

BE ON THE ALERT!

Here is a photo from a recent attack that was captured on film...

A Home Invasion

What's a dog to do?

Last night we had a visitor in our house. I had no idea my abode had even been breached. Slept straight through the night without even a sense of an intrusion.

I woke up this morning to squeals of excitement from my little girl. Apparently, she had been visited by a fairy who takes teeth. Left her with a piece of paper that she quickly shoved into her bank shaped like a pink pig squealing with excited utters of "I got more money for our Disney trip!"

No one is making a big deal about this "incident". Going about their business like normal. Between you and me, I have the bejeebies scared out of me! Do they really think it is okay for a little creature to infiltrate our home? AND SHE TAKES TEETH!!!

I am pretty partial to my chompers. They have so many uses. They work wonderfully chomping Tuckers ears and legs. They also are great for chewing kibble and mom's treats. Not to mention how handsome I look with them when I smile.

This whole visit has left me shaking from the tip of my nose to the bottoms of my feet and everywhere in between. I'm a little dude and try very hard to be brave (most of the time). This "incident" has left me rattled.

I think I will burrow under a blanket for a while and hope all this craziness goes away.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Not the kissing type

Tucker here.

I get a lot of grief about not giving kisses. My sister Tink gives kisses. She gives too many kisses. Kisses unsolicited. Ditto for my brother Oscar. Kisses, kisses and more kisses. So I thought I'd come clean and share why I'm a no-kiss kind of guy. Here it goes...

I was the dog nobody wanted. As a puppy I sat in a kennel trying to look cute and cuddly, begging people to want me and to take me home. I was never the first one out of the pen and into the loving arms of the legged people. Too many times I thought I was headed to my new home. But no one took me. I was not one of the lovelies - I was just a snaggle-toothed Pekingese. Too many kisses I gave away and now cannot get back.

So, after a while, I vowed I was done with gratuitous kissing. One day my luck changed. My dad spotted me and brought me home. Although I was happy, and excited, and nauseous from the short car ride, I could not break my vow.

I love my people and their people and the neighborhood hounds I play with. I am a very lucky guy to have found the family I have. But, I still save my kisses for all the lesser pooches who still have no place to call home. Maybe some day things will change and I will pucker for my people. But until then, have you guys seen the new collar my brother Oscar is sporting?

Gimme a break!



UPDATE: After typing my post I started to re-think this vow I had taken. My mom gives me hugs and kisses all the time. My family loves on me and plays with me too. I decided to try the kissing game again. While my mom was holding me, giving me kisses and scratching behind my ears, I decided to kiss her chin. Must have been a whopper of a kiss because my screamed and called my dad into the room to tell him that I had just kissed her. Of course he didn't believe her so I did it again. I was the hero! Like the Grinch, my heart grew three sizes at that moment. I decided to toss my vow out the window and live to kiss again.

Now, don't get all excited. I'm not going to become the kissing bandit. I am still going to give them sparingly but after seeing the effect they had on my mom, I will definitely hand them out a little more often.

Until then...
Kisses!
Tucker
