No more pictures until later.  The puppy (Petey) is asleep now.

Need to use a different camera for video, not sure why this is so dark:

OMG! I can smell that wonderful puppy breath from here! It's like warm toast! He's SO cute!!!!  Your adult furbaby seems to be pretty tolerant of the new kid on the block, too!   

[Green Eyes]

Okay the world has gone insane. From them making some sort of device to collect cow gases to make energy to this, now they are going after our fur babies.

PARIS (AFP) – Man's best friend could be one of the environment's worst enemies, according to a new study which says the carbon pawprint of a pet dog is more than double that of a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle.

But the revelation in the book "Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living" by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale has angered pet owners who feel they are being singled out as troublemakers.

The Vales, specialists in sustainable living at Victoria University of Wellington, analysed popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats around 164 kilos (360 pounds) of meat and 95 kilos of cereal a year.

Combine the land required to generate its food and a "medium" sized dog has an annual footprint of 0.84 hectares (2.07 acres) -- around twice the 0.41 hectares required by a 4x4 driving 10,000 kilometres (6,200 miles) a year, including energy to build the car.

To confirm the results, the New Scientist magazine asked John Barrett at the Stockholm Environment Institute in York, Britain, to calculate eco-pawprints based on his own data. The results were essentially the same.

"Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance, mainly because of the carbon footprint of meat," Barrett said.

Has any body seen Bearly lately? I miss her and am hoping she is all right.

Hi Monkeys,

While I was out yesterday I picked up Susan Boyles CD.  If you want to treat yourself to something wonderful you need to get it. I loved every song what a joy it was listening to her sing. 

I got it too, Green Eyes!

Thanks, Deenie, for the wrapping paper tip.  You are right, they even have it at Toys R Us along with their own brand.

OK, I know this isn't something one should talk about but this puppy is really smart.  Right now he has the run of the entire living room.  There is one small area I put newspaper down and he walked all the way over to the paper to do his "business".  He's barely 8 weeks old

Proud Momma....he is precious and very smart...! 

We need pictures.   

[klaasend]

Hi Mere    I posted a couple of short videos (although dark) and a photo on the previous page.  I'll post more pictures tomorrow.  He's so cute!

I don't blame little Petey! If my Momma was Tyrannical and could ban me, I'd hit the paper if it was tacked to the wall!   


He's soooooo cute!   

[crazybabyborg]

I didn't realize they were videos until you just posted that! OMG............ he's full of himself! It just pops out all over him!
