Paw It Forward

So today I checked my mail and guess what was in it?!?! A Paw It Forward present from Tabatha and Tracker! Now, you might be wondering what exactly Paw it Forward is. Well have you ever seen that movie "Pay it Forward"? This is like that but dog related lol. You get a doggy present from another person on blogger world and then you have to give 3 other blogger world people a present. They don't have to be huge and extravagant just something little and thoughtful to spread the nice :)

I actually tracked it back through 8 blogs! The 8th being about a Great Dane named Murphy and had nothing to do with guide dogs lol. They had mentioned who had sent them the Paw It Forward present but there was no link so my investigation came to a close.. Oh and that present was sent at the beginning of December! 9 blogs in 4 months! Well, if everyone has sent their 3 gifts then it should be a whole lot more - I don't even want to do the math lol.

Anyways here is all the goodies we got from T-squared - that's their new name, I just made it up :) (original right hahaha).

We got a nice card and some note pads

(one that has a magnet for the fridge).

Some little stickies to mark pages and such in books

and notes that have little puppies on them.

A great picture frame with a picture of Bob in it.

Bob (and Egypt) got some Oregon-Made doggie

treats and a great tug toy (not in the picture).

Picture of all the stuff mentioned above, the pads and stickies are from the AKC and have cute pictures of labs on them. The picture of Bob is one in his puppy jacket, it is black and white photo and has his name on it with red hearts around his name

Here's the tug toy! right after I snapped the picture Egypt

ran in and knew exactly what that toy was for lol.

Bob in a semi play boy chewing on his tug toy. It's green and tan and brown - boy colors lol

Here they are waiting nicely for the dog cookies we got.

Egypt sitting nicely looking up at me on Bob's left side, Bob is laying on the floor looking up at me.

One second after they got them. I have no idea how they switched spots lol.

Both dogs standing with their heads down munching on their treats

Bob eating his cookie. He's so messy, he left crumbs on the floor

I had to point them out so he would finish them lol.

Close up of bob's nose down close to the floor, there are a few bits of cookie on the floor that he's working on.

If you would like to participate in the Paw it Forward program leave a comment with the word "Bob-O" in it. The first 3 people will get little presents from Mr. Bob ;)

If you're not one of the first 3 and still want to participate be sure to check the comments and check the other blogs that get mine and try for theirs! Or just start one of your own! Lets have fun with this!

Oh and I forgot to throw this picture in earlier - My favorite :)

This was taken on my phone as we came back to the

apartment from throwing the trash - they are too cute :)

Caution, Live Animals

So, today was a long day. This morning we dropped Qena off at the vet for all of her shots and stuff so now she is official now, yay!!

Here is a pic of our pretty kitty :)

This is a somewhat close up picture of Qena - she is looking off to her left, you can see her little cute pink nose really well in this picture

This is Qena looking right at the camera, she has that sassy little kitty face on that says, take one more picture and you'll find a claw in your eye

This is a side pic of Qena, you can see some of the orange around her eyes, it looks like thick shimmery eyeliner.

Those are just a few cute pictures of her. She is a gray, black and brown tabby and she has one and a half orange toes on her front right foot. Even those pads are pink lol, all the other ones are black. She also has green eyes with streaks of brownish red in them. She is very calm and mellow, and not at all bothered by Egypt.. Egypt isn't bothered by her either. However, Her first impression of Mr. Bob wasn't too nice haha. Oh, didn't you hear? Bob is here!!! Yay for Bob!! lol.

At some point throughout this day the puppy raising manager, Michelle, texted me and asked if I wanted to meet them at the Airport to pick up Bob. I was supposed to get him on Wednesday but since she offered I said yes and have been anxious all day! So he's here now and I'm pretty excited about the temperament I have seen so far. At the cargo place while is sisters were barking and yapping he only uttered one little woof. That made me happy lol. We brought him home and I immediately took him out to go busy but it was a no go, I wasn't too worried though because he did go when we picked him up. So then he had his dinner and we attempted to go again - still nothing. So he was banished to the crate for about 30 minutes until he really started to cry so I took him outside again and still nothing... uh hello Bob, you're supposed to go after you wake up, eat and play... what's with this puppy?! lol. So I stick him back in the crate and after another 30 minutes we try again. Success!! So, now that he has gone and is done with his after dinner rest I decide to play a bit and snap some pictures. So let you're eyes (and ears for you blinkies) enjoy the feast of Bob-alicious cuteness!

Here is Bob looking at the camera, he is a white/yellow lab with slightly darker ears and really dark eyes.

here is another picture of him, he moved away from the camera so it's the side of his head, you can see his coloring better in this shot, he's going to be pretty light when he's older

This is him in his crate - the door is open, he had dragged his new stuffed duck toy into the crate with him, here he is laying down has one paw on top of Mr. Duck and is looking all depressed and lonely lol.

This one was taken right before the previous one, he had put his head up so the camera cut off his forehead but he still has a cute expression on his face. His head is pretty wrinkly, he has some skin to grow into.

This is him with his head kind of burried in Mr. Duck, his paw is still on top of him though and his head is crossed over his paw.

He's sound a sleep now in his crate - We'll see how long that lasts lol.

There will be another post shortly, that is if I'm able to finish with all my homework and studying - got a BIG test on Monday so gotta start now! Wish me luck!!

Oh, a few last pictures of Lola and Egypt, cause I thought they were cute too lol.

This is a picture of Lola laying on one of the dog bed beds, she has light coming in on her from outside but it's kind of a bright gray shot because it was drizzly outside, she's looking at me sideways so there is a little bit of white around her dark brown eyes

Egypt is about a foot in front of Lola, who is on the dog bed, she also has the gray outside light coming in on her. The angle of the camera makes Egypt look kind of funny but really cute, her nose and head are pointing down and her eyes are looking up at the camera making her have all white around really big brown eyes. Her eyes almost look like those cartoons where the animal's eyes get all big and cute

Stupid Zyrtec

Ok so it's about 7:00 AM over here and I can't sleep.. been up for a few hours trying but it's just not gonna happen lol. I took some zyrtec to help out with my issues and got maybe 4 hours but then I woke up and now can't get back to sleep so yup, thats it. Anyways, I actually have an announcement to make!! Yay for announcements lol. There are some big changes in this apartment going on and it's about time you all know about it.

Ok so 1. We are getting a kitty - She will be official on Tuesday after her vet appointment. She is a stray that Darrell's brother found (along with her mean sister). He has had them for a while but doesn't want that many cats so when Darrell heard he wanted to give them away he couldn't let her go lol. We have met her several time over at their place - she's perfectly fine with Egypt so hoping she will be with the puppy too. Her name is/will be Qena (pronounced kayna) - Qena is a region in Egypt so yup.. lol When we called the vet to make an appointment they were totally confused when we spelled it for them haha.

That leads me to number 2. It's time for a change of name for my blog because guess what! My puppy is coming!! Yay for puppies! I found out on Thursday and wanted to announce it the day he came (yes it's a he) but I just can't wait, plus I need all ya'lls help with the name change lol. So, his name is Bob and he's a 10 week old yellow lab. Born on November 21st. He's flying in all the way from New York with his sisters Piper and Celia.. Well I know at least 1 sister is coming, not sure about the other... So yup, I'm just too excited lol.. and a bit paranoid.. haha.. mainly about potting at school and making noise in class but other than that I don't really mind what he does anywhere else.. not like I have to see those people every single day like I do my class-mates and teachers you know...

Ok so on to the names for my blog.. I can only think of about 3 right now but I really only like 1 of them so any thoughts or input would be welcome lol.

My first one that I like is "What about Bob?" I stole it from that Bill Murray movie - I love that movie haha. Thought it would be a cute name for the blog.

Second is "Bob's blog" - no explanation needed there lol.. kinda lame in my opinion though.

Third is "A Bob and his Bone" - this one is ok but I know it can be better lol.

So get with the helping and either vote for your favorite or suggest some of your own!

Also, potty-training poll - what cleaning items do ya'll take with you incase of accidents?
I know I'll have to relieve bob on concrete for the first 15 weeks or so - that means at school too so what do you all suggest to make that go easier for me?

Oh and I'm not telling you what day he'll be here - that is still gonna be a surprise!
