Newfoundland Pictures / Mr. Bear's latest photo shoot
« on: October 27, 2007, 10:12:03 pm »
We took pictures of Bear in his costume on the roof of our building in the evening time thinking we could get some good shots in general of him being silly. Well, the background is kinda dark but you can see the cool big buildings around us. Bear also took a dip in the super small pool but "shh...don't tell".  ;) By the way, he decided he hated his devil costume & dragged it around the pool which I thought was cute since he is really not devilish but with red being his color and all, we had no choice in picking his costume.  ;D

Holiday Things / 2007 Christmas Card & Present Exchange Information
« on: October 25, 2007, 10:26:22 am »
Alright everyone. Christmas is quickly approaching us! To bring more happiness to the holidays and share love with your favorite online buddies we are going to have the 3rd annual BPO Christmas Exchange of Gifts, Cards, or both.

Here are the rules. The limit for the presents is $20 and the gift must be for the dog(s). I know however, that finances can limit what we do for others from time to time. If that is the case, you can opt to just send out cards.
Last year, we did both and Christmas was so fun and hairy.  :)

If you want in, which I hope you do, here is what you need to do.

1. Email me, jabear@gmail.com, with the following information:
     a) Real Name, Username, and home address
     b) Which part of the exchange you want to participate in: just gifts, just cards, or both
     c) Your dog's age and gender
     d) Your dog's favorite color
     e) Your dog's favorite treat
     f) Your dog's favorite kind of toy
     g) One thing your dog would love to receive


You have between now and November 18 to get your information to me. All presents/cards must be mailed out NO LATER than December 8, 2007.


Thanks again! You guys are awesome!!

Newfoundland Pictures / Bear's 5th Birthday Party Pics
« on: September 16, 2007, 07:31:42 am »
My baby boy will officially be 5 years old on Wednesday so today we celebrated with a small doggy beach party in Huntington Beach. He had a blast, as did the other doggies & people, and has yet to really move since we got home.  ;D He played, swam, ran, and ate good food today and even got to sport a fancy birthday boy hat, as did his party goers.   :D

And a few videos:

Anything Non-Dog Related / Don't think I am totally dumb but...
« on: September 11, 2007, 05:21:25 am »
besides dogs, what other animals lift their leg to pee? I have been wondering for a few days now and since the question is still lingering I thought I'd ask.  :)

Newfoundland Pictures / Finally pics of Bear the Mountain Man
« on: September 10, 2007, 08:31:39 am »
Finally here are pics of Mr. Bear in his cute backpack and trendy footwear.  ;D I am happy to report that this time out in the wilderness his tootsies were safe and protected from harm. His cousin dog Token was not so lucky though because he ended up with sore paws & toe pads like Bear had on his last outing. All I can say is thank goodness my boy is ok with my crazy ways and lets me get away with so much torture, I mean fun.  :D

**Please know that the pics are not all authentic because we didn't have a "real" camera when we were camping. We bought a cheapy old fashioned one that took terrible pics and just got a new camera on Saturday so I took new pics today.**

Newfoundland Discussions / Bear is making me laugh so hard! =)
« on: August 28, 2007, 02:06:54 am »
This 3 day weekend coming up we are going backpacking.  :) Bear loves to be outside in the cool fresh air where he gets to swim & play with the wilderness he never sees here in the big city of LA. Anyways, 2 weeks ago he went backpacking with Michael on a "boys only" trip. So, I expected him to come back sore from the hills & all of the hiking but he came back sore & had swollen toe pads from getting stuck with pine needles, etc.

Here is the funny part.   ;D We bought him rugged outdoor shoes with cool soles to wear on the hike to protect his sensitive feet.  ;D The are red & match his backpack and leash. Once they were on I laughed and laughed and laughed. He looks so cute. And surprisingly, he didn't even try to get them off or anything. I guess he thinks that his momma is so crazy that nothing really phases him anymore.  ;D I just had to share cuz he made me laugh so hard!

I'd take pics but the camera is broken.

I am just wondering because Bear is almost 5 and has all of a sudden (in the past 2 weeks) become very vocal. He now greets us daily with 3-4 "woo-woo-woo"s where before it was a wagging tail and happy face. He is also grumbling more when he is bored or wants love. I love it but it seems wierd to come out of the blue and especially since we tried to make to speak on command and he was shy & scared of doing it in the past & even now. Am I the wierd one or is he?  ???
