Laboring on Labor Day
Yes, today I was laboring. I honor of Labor Day. I was laboring for a fine, pumpernickel bagel.
There is apparently some new sort of tax that has been imposed on me – wherein I have to give mama a kiss before I get any of the extra-good food from her plate. But mama, YOU ALWAYS BUY TWO BAGELS and I KNOW you’re not eating them yourself!
Ok, whatever. JUST GIVE ME SOME BAGEL!
Totally worth it. Not that I don’t kiss her all day long… it’s just that every once in awhile I guess she needs a special smooch or two. And really, who am I to deny her some of the Boglemeister?
Mmm… pumpernickel…
Love,
Bogart

Go Go Goaties, Watch Them Go Go Go
Hey…. Goats!!! Goatie-Goatie-Goaties!!! Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Goats!!!
There they are!
And the horses too! We had some extra rice left over from a batch of gumbo that dad made… and it had formed into a sort of rice-cake. So we cut it up into wedges, and…
Both of the horses seemed to enjoy it, as did the nubian goats.
Or did they…?
On the way home, I felt the need for speed. Yes, I wanted to chase some sticks around. Come on dad, try me out!!!
Got that one!
Come on, come on, come on, THROW THAT STICK!!!
Ok, you’ve got it in your hand… which way are you going to throw it? Are you going to make me run uphill – again – or make it easy for me doing a nice downhill run?
I AM FOAMING WITH ANTICIPATION – THROW THAT STICK!!!
YESSSSSSSSSS!!! First to the left…
Then to the right…
It doesn’t matter which way you throw it, I’M GONNA GET THAT STICK!!!
One more time?
Ohmydog, I am so freaking tired. Panting like a maniac. Drooling all over myself. Uh, I mean, THROW IT AGAIN!!!
Love,

Paw of Doom
Today I got to go to the beer-making mecca here in Portland with mama and dad – F.H. Steinbart – and in yet another great reason to live in Portland, I could actually go inside. I was on my very best behavior, and sat with mama chatting with their friend Michael who works there while dad went around choosing some new supplies for the Black and Tan Brewery.
Unfortunately, mama did not bring along her camera to capture any of the golden moments. And for that, I’m afraid, she will have to suffer the PAW OF DOOM…
Yes, the mighty PAW OF DOOM is something that must be brought out sparingly as it is very effective. Notice how this frisbee is NOT GOING ANYWHERE when it comes into close contact with said paw (of doom).
Even as it tries to escape it must know… RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
You will take the PAW OF DOOM and like it!!!
So mama, because of your forgetfulness in not capturing my very first time at the beer-making store, I will give to you the PAW OF DOOM (just let me get these frisbees lined up so that I may perfectly show you THE PAW)
Ok, I think you’ve suffered enough. Time to move on to the feared CHOMPERS OF DOOM…
You wanna give it a whirl?
Love,

Merry Christm-aire-s!
Mama and I decided to do something a little different this year – rather than opening all of our Christmas cards as they arrived, we thought it would be fun to open them all during the opening of the presents on Christmas morning – so we could ooh and aah over all of the cool cards that our DWB buddies sent to us from all over the world.
It was hard not to open the cards as they arrived, but mama was good about keeping them all in a nice pile while we waited for the 25th. And it was totally worth it – we thought about you all as we opened the envelopes and the emails!!!
The kitties could not control themselves, they were totally fascinated with all of the cards.
Orange tabbies in particular seem to have an unhealthy preoccupation with card destruction. Perhaps we should try to distract them?
This is WIllie – he is the kitty that came to live with us after his mama died. He’s doing really well and is a part of our furry family now.
Check out this cool toy that I got – he is a rubber pig!!! – and most importantly, he SQUEAKS!!! I think I’m gonna name him Bacon…
Aw, and some good stuff to chomp on. I was originally far more interested in the package that held these wag’n wraps, and destroyed it promptly. I do think that Bacon and I will become best friends, however.
Hehehe – the Bogie Stogie
The kitties got something special too – a packet of Feline Greenies!!! And so, without further ado, I introduce the furry chorus:
Sekhmet, the black Siamese girlie…
Kafka, the orange shorthaired tabby boy…
Behemoth, the grey and white “spotto gato” boy…
Willie, the long haired orange tabby boy…
And Aeon, the brown tabby girl.
Merry Christmas everydog! Hope you all got LOTS of great presents – BIG AIRE KISSES to all of you and your families!!!
Love,
Bogart
