Where I've Been

Judging by the lack of e-mails and comments saying:  WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?  I'm guessing you all were busy too.

Do you guys like these awesome glasses from my friend Puddles?

She's always liked Master's glasses so she sent me some so I can look really cool like him.

A huge thank you as you can tell, I really love to do photo shoots so Puddles, I can't wait to send you some awesome gift so you can be tortured treated to a fun day of photo taking.  

Ok, so back on topic:  Where have I been?

Christmas

It was awesome and wonderful and everything it should be.  Oh, except that I got NOTHING except these glasses.  Someone alert the media about my mistreatment.

As for Star, after Christmas, she went to stay at a Taysia Blue volunteer's house and Mrs. Master and I hightailed it out of town.

You see, Master's brother was getting married and the bachelor party was at Webster Manor.

As we are not bachelors, Mrs. Master and I went to stay with her parents.

I have no idea who this dog is sleeping by a very hot fire in the wood stove.  Please pretend you never saw this.  I am a snow dog and love to sleep on ice.

Ok, the best part is that I got to go to day care and stay the night there the day of the wedding.

The worst part is that these two lame-os took a family photo without me.

I'll photoshop myself in.

Party Animal,

Starr's First Snow

Star is from Florida. At first she was afraid of the snow. Don't worry, she understands how great it is now!!!

I'm posting this from Mrs. Master's phone. Hope it works.

Anniversary

Can you believe these two kids...

Are the same as these two kids four years ago?

It goes without saying that they're even happier now than they were then.  I mean, how could they not be?

Happy Anniversary to my two favorite humans.

From Zow to Wow

Do you guys remember this guy?

We all prayed and prayed for him as he fought parvo.

He was with us for two months and was so skinny.










We met up with Ginko (formally known as Boris) this weekend and went on a hike.  You can't see him very well b/c Mrs. Master was manning the camera and a couple of pups but he looks SO GOOD.  He's SO HAPPY.

And that's why we foster.  That's absolutely why.

Oh hey, OP Pack, they live by you...maybe you see them sometimes?

Foster Trainer Forever,

Wordless Wednesday -- Super Star

Hiking

I don't know about you guys, but my humans get really lazy when it's cold out.

When our meet up group proposed a LONG hike, I thought, "OH YES!  Mrs. Master is in need of a good work out."

As any good personal trainer does, I pushed her to WALK FASTER!

Master's mom came with us and documented my fine work (isn't she such a great photographer?).

This was right before we got back to the car and I was still encouraging her to PICK UP THE PACE!

Leader of the pack,

Nora B. Webster

Gift Ideas

Just practicing being good for Santa Paws and any relatives who may be reading.

For your shopping convienence, I thought I'd give you some gift ideas for this Christmas.

You see, my vet report came back today and I have NO PARASITES!  This means I get a real gift instead of expensive medicine.










A Diggler Dog Scooter.

It seems a no brainer that I would want one of these.  The trick was convincing Mrs. Master to want one too.  We figure since it's on both our lists, we'll get one together. *hint* *hint*

 When you are a famous star like me, you need appropriate bling on your walks.  Obviously, I'm in need of a L. E. D. leash.

Meat.

No explanation needed.




Go ahead and send your packages to:

Nora B. Webster
Webster Manor
Kansas City Metro Area

The postman knows me.

Waiting Anxiously,

Neat-O

I think we all agree that I have an excellent sense of humor.

Do you know what's not funny?

Having someone put a sticker on your furs.

This post has more to do with furs than stickers though.

First, let me tell you that Star is doing so much better at our house.  Someday, I'll get into the ins and outs of Star's problems but that's not what this post is about.

Remember when I asked you about vacuums?

If you look beyond Star onto the floor behind her right ear, you'll see our vacuum.

It's a Neat-o Pet and Allergy Vac.  While I think it's very rude as it regularly interrupts my napping, my humans love it.  Something about, "I can walk barefoot on our hardwood floors now."

And,  "We don't have any dog fur tumbleweeds anymore."

Humans are rude,

Wordless Wednesday -- When Your Water Bowl Freezes

Fuzzy Snoozin Pics

I don't know about you guys but having the humans home for so many days in a row is exhausting.

First, they're always in the way and totally messing up my schedule.

 Then, I can tell they ate too much so I have to take them on SUPER DUPER long walks.

It's enough to really wear a pup out.

So glad we're back to normal this week!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzZZZZZZ,

Random Tidbits

 Hi Guys.  Nora here.

This post is more bullet pointy than one actually having a point.

Do you like the way we rearranged the living room?

All we need now is a sofa with shorter arms so I can actually rest my head at my lookout post.

 Star s becoming more and more confident each day.

Friday, she counter surfed.

Sunday, she slept like this.

We're getting a long a little better these days.

This is my paw.

Mrs. Master texted this photo to her mom yesterday asking if I could get a trim.

Her mom is a............GROOMER.

Now I'm dreading Thanksgiving.

Groomers are awful people who get paid to torture dogs. 

Someone rescue me,

Master's Shadow

 Master has a new shadow.  Her name is Star.

Everyone knows that I am Master's favorite and he is mine.

Do you guys like Star's necklace?

It was way too big on my buddy Avalance.  So you can see that Star is a pretty big girl.

All that to say, it's taken us awhile to see eye to eye (me and Star that is).

Things are a little better now that she's learning her place.

Some pups are just sort of hard headed.

Being the boss is tough,

Star Light, Star Bright

 Hi, My name is Nora and I love to snuggle.

It's only been a week or two that I've discovered my love for sunggling but I'm a snuggle-a-holic.

I slept this way for a good part of this evening.

Don't tell anyone though b/c I still preach, "Snuggles for scratches."

This is my new foster Star.  I guess I'm teaching snuggling classes now.

I'm still trying to figure her out so I'll have more info soon.



Snuggles Anonymous,

My New Kennel

In case you're wondering, Limbergh caught a ride to Omaha on Saturday so he can be treated for heart worms.

That's not my point for today though.

This is my new kennel.

Every time Mrs. Master says, "Nora! Kennel!"  I come and sit on my chair.

She's so hard-headed that she still thinks I should go to my old kennel.

Do you guys have any tips on how to train a stubborn human?  I'm at my wit's end.

Snoozing in my kennel,

Nora B. Webster

Friday Snooze Day

Master is home today so we're planning on a lot of this....





ZZZZzzzzZZZZ,

Bobsey Twins

Here's Lindbergh.

He's super nice.

He looks like me but he talks a lot.

He has heartworms.

They are bad and scary.

He won't get his treatment at Webster Manor b/c someone here likes to play too much and that can be dangerous for the sick pup.

Thanks to all of you who asked about Master's allergies.  They aren't any better...they weren't any better without a foster or without the down comforter.  Now we have a foster and they're sleeping with the down comforter.

Both those things make Mrs. Master very happy. (obviously, she'd be really happy if Master felt better)

Cuter than Lindbergh,

Nora B. Webster

Vacation

Did you guys notice that I wasn't here last week?

I was at my friend Millie's at the beginning of the week and then hung out with my peeps the rest of the week.  It's hard work keeping track of them so I don't have any new pics.

It's back to work now so I guess we'll show you my new foster dog Lindburgh sometime this week.

Or, you could just look at me and pretend I'm a boy.  That's pretty much Lindburgh.

How to Conduct a Photoshoot

Master's mom did a photo shoot with us.

Mrs. Master wouldn't behave so I kept having to scold her.

"Mrs. Master!  Put your hands down."

 "LOOK at the camera!  I know I'm beautiful but we need to look the other way!"

 "Guys, I'm going to step out of the shot so you can have one with just you two love birds.  Don't mind me."

Whew.  After lots and lots of work, I got them to obey and take a good photo.

Humans!

Let me know if you need a helper at your next photo shoot.
