Happy and Healthy 2009!!

Well, 2009 is getting closer!!
Well, my hoomans have lot's of new photos of me, but Carla forgot the cable to conect the camera at the computer at work!! Dahhhhh! So, I guess there are no actual photos of me in this post!
Anyway, I'm posting a photo of me when I was aproximately 9 weeks, few days after I came to my new house. I guess I changed my hoomans life, by changing their routines and a bit of the way they comprehend life... :)
I wish all my friends - furry and not so furry :) - a pawtastic 2009, healthy, peaceful and with lot's of love and friends! May all your wishes come true in this New Year!!!!
And thank you, from the deepest part of my heart, for your friendship.

New Bed!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

I have a new amazing, booootiful and soooooooooooooooooooooo confy bed!

I'm a bed destroyer. I had one cozy bed from Ikea, but the third day that I was left with it all alone in the house all day I.... ate it. Shlép. So, I was "bedless" for some time, sleeping in an old carpet and blanket. But my hooomans couldn't resist and Carla came up with a great idea (rarely happens): she got a nice, tall and big piece of sponge (thank you Mr. Antonio, Sonia's Dad), she bought some fabric at IKEA and she asked dear Miss Elisa to make a cover for the bed. Miss Elisa, as usual, made a great work and now I have this nice and colourful cozy bed! It was love at first sight: Carla brougth it, i tried it and now... it's my favourite thing in the house! And I'm allowed to keep it with me when my hooomans leave, 'cause I like it sooooo much that I actually use it to sleep and rest!!!

Merry Christmas!

My shiny nose!

(What a wonderful way for my hoooman to spend her free time: making fun of my nose! Humpf!)

My very first Christmas postcard

Hi, furry friends! Here I am, almost fresh and new. Phewwww! It was tough, though... Poor hoomans... they were almost driving crazy with so much preocupation. I started having fever, even when the dhiarrea episodes stoped, my mouth was continuously dry... and I started having locomotion problems. It seems that the progress of the infection was making me more and more weak. My hoomans thought it could be something related with my bones! Well, they called my vet's number for emergency and they asked the vet to see me yesterday. He run some blood tests, told them I have pancreatitis and prescribed me an antibiotic and a diet. So, here I am, getting better each day. Thank you all for your concern and tender messages!
For all my friends information about pancreatitis in dogs, you can read this, this, this and this. Mine was caused by a bacteria (careful with those things you try to eat in your walks!), but we have to be careful with the amount of fat in our food and treats!

*****************

Well, I have lots of posting to do, but I have to start with this one, it means a lot to me. I received my firts bloggie-friend postcard! My sweet HOMER sent it to me. I was soooo happy (Carla went a bit nutsy, but that's okay... as long as she realizes it is MY postcard, not hers!).
Here are the photos, my humans took these pics some time ago. Thank you sooo much, Homer, for my very first postcard! I promised you a postcard too, but we all had some busy days around here, these last days... so, I'll make you an e-postcard this time, ok? Can you forgive me? Pawease?

Mr. Duck

This is my new toy: Mr. Duck. It gives me a hunting style, doesn't it? :)

Another trip to the Park, another happy day! :)

Hi there my furry friends!
I'm so sorry I've been away for sooo looong... I missed you, bloggie-pups!
My groovy humans have been having lots of work and problems with their camera... so, today, I'm so thrilled I can blog again with some PIPAnews! :)
First of all, I'd like to thank my friends who presented me with awsome awards. They are on my list, above, at the right. My Dog, I get so proud each time a doggie-blogger-friend thinks of me!
Let me see, now, more relevant news... oh, yeeeep, I'm finally going to school. My humans want me to have a canine MBA (BOL), but I really think they're expecting to much... They're attending the owners classes now, and I'll be starting my practice next month. I'm really thrilled, 'cause they told me that there will be lots of doggies there! A Great Dane (like my dear Honey), 2 german shepards, 2 rotweillers, a portuguese Serra da Estrela (lovely), a bull terrier, a staffordshire terrier and more!... MY DOG, it'll be PAWSOME! :) At the meantime, I go along alternating a very good behaviour in the house (chewing things now and then) and a bad behaviour in my walks (when I see other dogs, mainly... or when I see something at the floor that looks tasty, wich is e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g). Oh, well, it's a teenage doggie behaviour, I guess.
I've been checking out all those wonderful doggie-bloggies, now and then! I know that Dr. Dino is on the house again (BOL), Honey is staying in New Zealand, Homie is loving the Netherlands, Paco and Milo are real beach surfers, Addie had a play date, Joy(ce) is growing bigger and cuter, Codex is getting taller, Brandy's learning to type, Cocoa and Barley are still soooo humorous, Amber's preparing for Christmas, Timon goes on chewing out the house, Augie and Ty are two famous pups, Thor has been playing with his sisters, Imperor Byte loves the grass like me, Spencer felt the earth moving.... everytime I check out all your news I find myself smiling with my goofy golden smile... :)

And now, here are the photos of my last walk in the "Peace Park".

Woofie kisses to you all, my dear friends!

Expo

Queridos amiguinhos da floresta canídea... fui à EXPO! yeeeee! Desculpem pela qualidade das fotos, mas a Carla-Pastor-Alemão esqueceu-se da máquina... (dahhh)!

Dear dear furry friends: I went to the Expo Park and it was groovy. I'm sorry for the less quality of the photos, but they were taken with my human mobile... 'cause she forgot the camera (DAAAHHH).

And so...

E cá estou eu, posando como uma estrela canina, mesmo ao pé do Oceanário.

Back there is the Oceanário, a gigantic aquarium with lots of aquatic species.

Reparem bem na minha pose... com aquela patinha posterior naquela posição, pareço ou não pareço a Gisele Bundchen?!? ehehehehehehheh

Do I look booootiful striking a pose, or what? With my back leg positioned like that, I look just like Gisele Bundchen... BOL

Aquilo é um pássaro, ali ao fundo?

Is that a birdie, over there?


E aqui em baixo.... snif.... isto é água?!?!?

What about down here... is this water?!!?


Ok, eu meto a cabeça aqui e depois as patinhas e depois dou um salto e depois splash, vou dar um mergulho...

Ok, so I'm going to cross my head over here, and then I push forward with my legs and then I'll jump just to take a splashie dive right now, ok? WHAT?? WHHHYYYYY can't I do that? Ohh, maaan...


Eu, por acaso, vou ter de ir até láááá ao fundooooooooooo pela trela? Ok, é a brincar, né? Vão-me soltar e vão-me deixar ir a correr, verdade? Que nem uma desnorteada, verdade?

No way I'm gonna walk leashed aaaall the way over there! You evil humans are going to unleash me, right? So that I can run free and like a crazy dog all the way until I reach that treee oooooooooooover there, right? RIGHT?


'Pera, deixa-me ajudar-te, eu também sou escuteirinha, espera, eu seguro nisso e distribuo, queres ver?

Wait, I can help you with that, I'll hold it in my mouth, I'm a scout too, don't you worry about a thing, I'll take good care of it...

Olha!! Estão ali mais amigos canídeos! Esperem... está aqui este muro, não consigo passar! Auuuf!

Hey! There are other doggies over there! Wait! There's this wall here... heyy! Don't go awaaaaay!

Ora cá está... um spa a duas mãos na minha cabeça!

Yeep... time for a head-spa!

Esta é a Trudy, uma amiga que encontrei, mesmo em frente ao vasco da Gama! Ora, eu torno-me numa verdadeira melga quando vejo outro cão para brincar... acho que ela ficou com um bocadinho de medo e nem sequer olhava para mim! Tive de tentar uma abordagem silenciosa.

This is Trudy, a new frien that I found in my walk... she didn't want to play with me, I think she was a bit scared of my frenetic dog moves... she didn't even want to look at me... I had to try a silent aproach.

Por favor, Deus, fá-la brincar comigo!

Paweaaaase, God, make her play with me!

Ai, qu'eu tou tão cansada.... ai, não vou conseguir chegar ao carro... levem-me ao colo! :)

Oh, I'm soooo tired... I'll never make it to the car... could u please carry me? Pawease? :)

Howloween and a game!

Well, here in Portugal we don't have a Halloween tradition... but here it goes, my first try! Maybe next year I will allow the German-Shepperd (my female human, that's the dog I think she looks like) and the Geat-Dane (that's my male human, he really looks like one) to disguise me... without immediatly destroying the costume... cof cof cof... :)

Happy Howloween, furry friends!

And let's play a game! If your humans were dogs... wich dogs do you think they would be?

Homer and Pipa

I just realized......... do we look like perfect twins, or what???? :)

A big aroooo to you, dear Homie!
