Mischief Master Class - It's Here!

Fred and Gloria were so excited when the mail came yesterday.......

'Cause the Mischief Master Class book we ordered finally arrived!

Freddie sniffed around to see if he could smell his pal Snoopy, after all if it wasn't for Snoopy and the help of his Momma, there would be no Mischief Master Class Book.

The hounds waited patiently for me to sit and read to them.  I think I heard Freddie telling Gloria that even she could learn how to get into mischief following Snoopy's rules.  when I finally got the chance to read to them Freddie was feeling pretty proud to show Gloria rule #1 'cause there he is! Right there in Snoopy's book!

Getting up to some mischief and using his puppy dog eyes to get out of trouble! You can read about lots of our friends and how they have gotten up to and gotten out of mischief all thanks to Snoopy and the mischief rules he has created.   You can check out Snoopy and his book here. 

Christmas Ornament #20

My "Grandma" ornament I got after my first grandchild was born.  I guess you know your getting older when........hehehe!

In memory of my Dad who passed away four years ago today.

Yes, we still put your stocking out.  Merry Christmas Dad!

Monday Mischief - PLEASE DON'T GO!!!!!

Things were going fine when my daughter came to visit the other day.  Both hounds were being good after an initial good petting session.

Yep, even Freddie was behaving himself. I don't know what it is, maybe because he's such a little bugger that I feel especially proud of him when he's being good; and good he was being........until...........

.....he heard Brandi say it was time to leave.  Then he did the only thing he could to try and stop her.

Tried removing her socks!

Since Brandi is in today's post, Christmas ornament #3 is the one she made in kindergarten.

Awwwww!!!

P.S. - If you haven't read Freddie and Gloria's letters to Santa yet, head over to Rumpydog's and check them out.  Just click here. to read them.  They're pretty good for a chuckle!

Other breaking news........Snoopy's Mischief Master Class ebook is out and Freddie's in it!  Yep, he's under Rule # 1 - Look Cute. hehehe  Lots of our other bloggie friends are in it to like Sugar, Jet, Nola and Dakota just to name a few.  It's available from Amazon, the link is here.  We just downloaded Amazon's free Kindle app so we could buy the ebook for our PC.  We just love it and the paperback should be out in time for Christmas to get for our Grandkids!

Now, last but not least we are a little behind in offering our thanks to Bo-Bo, Mi-Mi and their Momma over at Kitty Tales for awarding us the Super Sweet Blogger Award. 

We are truly honored.  Thank you!

The Split Leash

A while back we saw our pal Snoopy's Mum had him and his pal Cosmo on a split leash.  You can check out that story here.  I had commented that I have a split leash for Fred and Gloria, but have been too chicken to try it out.  Why? I don't know.  Maybe for fear being dragged down the street by two wild Bassets or falling over in a tangled mess in front of all the neighbours, I don't know.  I just envisioned disaster!  The other day I decided to finally try it.  I kept thinking, heck Snoopy's Mum even runs with Snoopy and Cosmo on the split leash!  I must be able to at least walk with these two.   So I stopped procrastinating about it and tried the split leash.

Well, it was great!!!  Probably one of the best walks I've had with these two.  Instead of pulling on me, they pull on each other.

It started out with Gloria in the lead and when she started to peter out........

Fred took over the lead.  They basically walked each other!  The best part was that by the time we got back around to our crescent they were actually walking behind me!

Thanks for that story of you and Cosmo, Snoopy!  It stayed in the back of my mind and motivated me to try our split leash!!  No more procrastinating for me!  Well........maybe just a bit.
