Furry Friday

Furry Friday

In some down time at work this week (shhh don't tell!) I started clearing out my gmail inbox account. I have had this account since I graduated college aka when my college email account was going to die aka I needed a professional email to apply to jobs...so needless to say it's um, robust. Haha. I have been putting this task off for some time, but with nothing better to do I figured, why not?!

I also have the darnedest time with unread emails for a variety of reasons, so I had been hovering in the 800s even after deleting my daily junk (aka shopping/fashion/news/ads/JUNK, etc) for some time slowly working my way down the hundreds as if go through some more recent stuff. 

Today, however I am now hovering in the 200s (!!!!!) which is pretty huge for me (and I could still do a bit more clearing.) 

One of my older emails is dated July 31, 2007 to my mom titled "Puppies!" - so I had to see what that was about. (Mind you, I came across emails as old as 2010 of dogs I liked on Petfinder that I would share with myself...as I'm always on the search for a companion for Toby. Unfortunately, others don't agree. lol)

Needless to say my day was MADE finding this treasure of a photo...Toby and his 3 litter mates. :)

This was taken on my *gasp* Blackberry Curve (I did enjoy that phone, it was fab for 2007) and I am so grateful to have it to snap this pic. 

I often wonder who got his siblings (we almost walked away with Toby AND his sister) and what they're up to today. I wonder if they have any of the same crazy Toby traits, or if I actually causes them. lol. I wonder if they're all still in PA or if they too got moved across the U.S. for a change of scenery. 

Regardless, I love my lil muffin and cannot believe he's going to be 8 this year!  He will forever have a (very large) piece of my heart. <3

Do you ever think about your pets parents or siblings...or am I just crazy? ;)

haha!

Here's hoping this isn't what Toby turns into this weekend with the expected foot of snow we're to get between tonight and Sunday.  I feel like we've been rather spoiled here in Denver so far - especially after the winter I went through last year in Philly, where it snowed basically every single week to some degree - so knowing that this first really big storm is happening is not making me that happy.  

A crock pot is planned for Sunday - so don't worry, we will have food! ...at least that is always my biggest concern anyway. ;)

Enjoy your weekend - whether you're running in Disney, or enjoying the snow like me.

It's here, Puppy Bowl XI is here!

...well almost, 2 days away!  Be sure to tune in on Sunday for your fill of puppies and kitties having fun on the field!

Animal Planet lists 57 pups for their starting line up...you can check them out here - but I will spotlight some of my favorite cuties!

I LOVE a scruffy dog, and Blue from AHeinz57 Rescue is no exception!

Don't let the frills fool you, Cara from Florida Little Dog Rescue wants to win!

Enzo, from Gateway4Paws, is super cute with his indecisive ears!

Jamison, representing New Line Animal Rescue, is ready for his touchdown!

Oscar is representing the scruffy pups from Green Dogs Unleashed!

Sanctuary Rescue so so pleased to have Pepper rocking the field!

Seriously these babies are all so adorable, it was hard to just pick these few! 

You can also check in on all the pups getting ready in the locker room via a live webcam, here.  Unfortunately for me, it always seems to be nap time when I take a peep!

And don't forget half time with Katty Furry!

...and, if you forgot, the Super Bowl will also be happening on Sunday.  Given I'm an Eagles fan, I don't really care who wins...but as I mentioned before I will be watching for the commercials!

Who are you rooting for this weekend?

Furry Friday

Two weeks until Super Bowl Weekend!

There are 2 things I love about the Super Bowl. 

1. Puppy Bowl!

2. Commercials. 

Who cares about the game when there are puppies and great ads!  While I look forward to seeing the players in this years puppy bowl, they have already started talking commercials...including a sure fire winner from Budwiser!  While I'm not a beer drinker, they know how to use animals in their commercials, and this year should prove to be no different. 

Take a look at our fav horse and fav pup...but the poor pup gets lost!

Say it ain't so!  I bet there will be a happy ending through. 

Do you have a favorite past Super Bowl commercial?

Happy day after Christmas!  On this day after, I will be spending the day with my fantastic Mom, as we brave the shopping mall to try and find some day after deals!

I hope yesterday brought you lots of happiness with your loved ones.  I am so happy to have spent the day with mine, and am just happy to be on the East Coast enjoying this whole week with them.

Today, I'm sharing a Puppy Cam link!  My boss has been fostering a Mama (whom she became a foster fail as she's already adopted her) and her 3 puppies from a great rescue group here in Colorado, Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue.

Last week she stumbled upon this gem on their website and shared it with the office - from playing pups to sleeping pups, I cannot stop watching!

RMPR Puppy Cam!

The countdown is now on to 2015...which also means my Disney Half is just around the corner as well!  I cannot wait!

Are you ready for the New Year?

Furry Friday (12.19.14)

...for some reason this didn't post on the 19th so here it is a few days late!

Today I'm traveling back to Philly for Christmas!

I am SO excited to see my family - especially my Mom - mainly now that I can't just hop in a car and see them whenever I want to.

For today's Friday Furry, I'm sharing a lovely post from Bark Post regarding people being gifted a PUPPY.  The hubs currently has an IOU for me in regards to us adding a 2nd furry member to our family (finally!) so I'm hopeful that one will be joining us in 2015.

You've been PUPPIED!

...I would love to be filled receiving a surprise puppy - the joy I would exuding would be cray cray.  haha

As a note though, a puppy should never be frivolously gifted, as it is a big responsibility and life change.  More importantly, please remember to not shop, but adopt for your new 4 legged friend as there are many, many, many well deserving animals in our local shelters and rescues that would love a new home for the holidays.  No matter what size, color or breed - just check out Petfinder.com to find your new friend. =)

I also want to give a shout out to my Dad - it's his Birthday today, and I lost him this past summer very suddenly.  It honestly still doesn't feel real, and given my distance from "home" I feel like I've been able to not have to truly face his death.  This is going to make the holidays harder this year, but I know that he's still with me, and watching over me always.  I got my love of animals from him, and I couldn't thank him more for it!

Love you Dad. <3
