Happy Birthday, Chloe!

Chloe Honeygo Beasley is three years old today. We started the day by sleeping late, and awoke to sunshine! What a beautiful, sunny day it is outside.

Chloe received a birthday card - from her "Mommy and Daddy." What a perfect card for a Bichon, too. What else do we have planned for the day? Well, the day is still young, and we plan to enjoy every minute of it.

An extra treat, extra hugs, and wishing Chloe many more birthdays to come. Thanks for stopping by her blog to share part of the day with  us.

Just A Click to Help Pups Like This

This is pretty  simple.... Please ask ten friends to each ask a further ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting  enough people to click on it daily so they can meet their quota of  getting FREE FOOD donated every day to abused and neglected animals.  It takes less than a minute (about 15 seconds) to go to their site  and click on the purple box "fund food for animals for free." This  doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate  sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food  to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site!

Goodbye Moo Moo and Ba Ba!

They off, in a Priority Mail box - headed back to Mollie Jo and Bobo in Kentucky. No historical site photos, sorry. Here's the page we made for their scrapbook. Click image to view larger. Bye stuffies! We will miss you. Hope you had fun. We would have liked to take you the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia and many more places, but this was a busy week so we couldn't get out as much as we wanted. We made the most of our time together, I think. Ooops, we did wrong - we were supposed to put you up for grabs for the next blogger! I am so sorry. Too late! I just realized it. And I think I spelled Ba Ba wrong (should be Baa Baa!). We were horrible hosts. Will you forgive us??? Check with Mollie Jo and Bobo at their blog for where the stuffies will go next. At least Kentucky Momma can get the tag right away, I suppose.

Moo Moo and Ba Ba's Last Days Here

Well, the party's over ... Chloe's grandma's Halloween Birthday Party, that is. We held it today since grandma and granddad were out all day yesterday (Halloween Day), celebrating on their own with a little day trip. Look at the great cake we had for the party!

Moo Moo and Ba Ba were happy to be guests of honor at the party, too. They helped us celebrate in style along with Chloe. Yes, those two stuffies sure are party animals!

On the way to send them off tomorrow I will be able to capture a few historic sites (finally) along the way to the post office. And since we'll be boxing Moo and Ba at the post office, they'll be able to nosey around and pose at the sites. Their momma will be happy - we are sending a tag back with them, engraved with Chloe's name and our city and state. Bye for now - will touch base with y'all tomorrow and tell you how it goes.

Help Find Lucy the Boxer, lost in Bensalem, PA!

Lucy was let out of her apartment accidentally be a maintenance man.
She had her collar and tags on at the time. She was also spotted last night (10/30/09) in front of a 7-11 near her apartment complex, where she only has lived for 3 weeks or so. She's 2 years old. This is a long-shot that anyone in my area sees this on my blog - but here goes anyway. At least all of my bloggy friends can say prayers that Lucy is returned to her home safe and sound. xoxo


Zumba Night at The Elementary School!

As some of you may know, I take a Zumba class at a local elementary school, taught be a woman I know from high school. Well, for today's Moo Moo and Ba Ba adventure, we went to Zumba class together.

Chloe stays home, in the kitchen, behind the child's gate for a few minutes until her Daddy comes home and sets her free, at which point she then sits in front of the window looking for me for a couple of hours (!).

Before going inside the building, Moo Moo and Ba Ba posed in this gorgeous red tree. This could be a Valentine's Tree - it was sooooo red!

Anyway, we shimmied and salsa-ed, pranced and sweated. It was a great workout (if you haven't tried Zumba, it's a fun and fabulous way to workout!)

Then, after class, our instructor who is a counselor at the school by day (Zumba instructor by night!) gave us a tour of the main office, where Moo Moo and Ba Ba had a blast.

First, they made an announcement to the janitors or whoever was still in the building ... "Happy Halloween!"

Then they answered a few phone messages. "We don't know if that child was in school today, Mrs. Whatever, but we'll get back to you in the morning when the secretary is here."

Then they copied their bottoms on the copier machine.

And they mingled with other stuffies in the office.

Even became Phillies fans!

And saw a squirrel!

Not to mention, the money they could be saving if they switched to Geico car insurance ... (AL and other non-US bloggers:  this is a reference to a popular TV commercial here in the states.)

They worked hard for the money in the office after hours.

And met up with a big stuffed dog. Does anyone recognize this character?

They hung out in the mailbox slots for a little bit before saying goodbye.

All in all, it was a pretty interesting adventure. What do you think?

I lied ... and the giant shroom.

Okay, I lied. We are blogging today. After all, it's Moo Moo and Ba Ba week. We have to be accountable to our friends in the blogosphere who want to know - what did you do with the stuffies today?

Well, the day started off with a Halloween-ish inspired smoothie - Boo Boo Blackberry. Made with store-bought fresh blackberries, Fiber One lime flavored yogurt, ice cubes, a shot of skim milk and a serving of Wheat Bran thrown in for good measure! Look at that luscious purple color!

Then we went for a wet walk outside ... after all the rain. With all the leaves on the ground and the gloomy dampness, it made for a very interesting walk.

Chloe chanced upon a giant shroom - a bumpy, orangey-yellow mushroom that almost looked like an autumn gourd!

It was big and juicy. Moo Moo and Ba Ba were awe-struck! Very good story to tell the folks back home in Kentucky country. Being in Pennsyl-tucky ain't so bad after all when it comes to nature walks.

We poked around at a neighbor's creepy yard ...

and noticed a black scaredy cat with arched back giving us the warning to run, run, run!

So back home we went, inside to get warm and toasty. Time for dinner soon. Until tomorrow ...

My Little Puppy Pumpkin

Today was a very rainy day. We planned to take Moo and Ba to historical sites ... but oh, well. We stayed indoors today. Moo and Ba tried to write a letter home to Mollie Jo and Bobo saying they were homesick and bored, but when I found them writing it, I vowed to show them a good time right away. "Since your momma likes collecting dog tags, how about visiting my collection of tins on top of my fridge!" "Ohhhh, we'd like that," Moo said. So, this morning, they hopped up on the fridge and checked out the assortment of tins up there.

As you can see, Chloe figures into the fridge adventure, too - that's a photo of her in the upper right, next to the Psalm plague with baa baa sheep. And a dog figures into the tin collection, center stage - albeit a terrier.

Later in the morning, a Fed Ex delivery came and our delivery person brought a special treat - a biscuit for Chloe!

Then surprise, surprise - Chloe modeled her pumpkin costume - $4.99 at Target! Cheap, cheap, cheap. It's just a hat and a neck "ruff."

Here Chloe is giving Ba Ba a sniff and a love bite.

She's my little pumpkin.

And when it comes to carving pumpkins, wish we could do something like this ...

... only for a Bichon.

Well, tomorrow momma has to do a LOT of work and may not blog again until Thursday. We thought we'd have a tea party today but it's still not totally out of the picture. More later. Have a good one!
