We'd love to see your pawprints!

Please leave your web address if you have a blog.

We would love to come by and say woof or meow!

Here we're again...

"Our pawrents hardly drive to North of Toronto... Where are we going?"

"Here we are.... again!"

Yes, we'll be staying at the hotel while our humans will be travelling.

We had lots of fun in this place back in February.

"Everything looks the same and we are glad to find some familiar faces." :) :)

"Mom and dad, we know you will be worried but no worries! We're in good hands. Oh... we noticed you forget to request our ice cream. Don't forget to call the hotel tomorrow and remind them our request, ok?" :) :)

While we're here we might sneak into the staff room to borrow their computer but most likely we won't be able to visit your blog very often. We hope everyone is happy and doing well.

We're looking forward to coming by your blog after our humans get back.

Hugs

Happy (belated) Halloween!!

Hope everyone had a good fun Halloween!

Last year, our brudder was a pumpkin boy (click here) but looks like we had

a Dalmatian brudder this year.

A night before Halloween, we weren't sure which costume we would love to wear

so we tried these two hats on. We were on our usual cat walk in the kitchen. :P

(Momo) "Mom, Wasn't I a pink witch hat two years ago? I am wearing my necklace but

I don't think it's visible"

(Pinot) "I am Pirate Pinot!"

Then mom wanted me to try this cow thingy on.

(Momo) "Ahhh.. That was mine. I think this has been shrunken!

So it's yours, Pinot!"

To be honest, the cow thingy wasn't working so I had my cool hat on again... And.......... a cow hat was back. Mom's huge problem is she is so indecisive! "Make up your mind and let us know..." We all agreed that the bandana would be the best choice. (Pinot) "Mine is a brand new bandanna! :) I know mom always feel guilty what she's never spoiled me since our human pup was born so she's trying hard to make it up lately. hehehe

Before we stepped out, we took a brudders'n'sissy shot.

"Can you see our new kitty friend?"

Then we wanted to make sure if the weather was going to treat us well.

Shall we say meaw or woof??

We decided to stop by our usual park to check out how leaves changing colours.

Then our brudder started running around....

"Woooof Wooooooooooooof!!"

We all wanted to catch him.

Geeee... this energetic pup was out of control. He was running around all the time.

"Catch me if you can!!"

Where is Momo, Pinot, James and mom?

(Pls enlarge the photo.)

After lots of chasing, it was the time to do 'trick and treat'.

Last Halloween, our pup aka a pumpkin boy was a little too young (click here)

so we thought we could do a lot more together this year.

A close up of our new friend Ms Kitty.

We had an important task to guide our brudder's stroller.

"Dad, there is something out there!"

"Phew! I am glad this is not a scary thing!"

It was nice to see many Halloween decorations.

Our pup's big moment had come. This was his very first Trick'n'Treat!!!

We actually stop by this house last Halloween and they kindly gave him lots of candies

but of course 'someone' ate all candies.

"Hello!! Don't forget to put more doggie friendly candies, sir!" As a matter of fact, this gentleman was very nice. He said he has two doggie kids. :)

After a long walky, we were back to the park.

A few minutes after that, we noticed our brudder needed to take a rest.

Back home, we found a huge pumpkin which was picked by our brudder

at the pumpkin patch.

Less than ten minutes later, our Jack o'lantern

was ready.

We named him BOO!!!

Thanksgiving Dinner

October 12 was our Thanksgiving Day! This Thanksgiving, our chef decided to BBQ our turkey in the Big Green Egg. He coated turkey with sea salt and extra virgin olive oil, then applied black pepper, Thyme, Rosemary and Oregano.

"Let me know when our birdy is done!"

This is one of our 'must have dish'es on Thanksgiving. The Ultimate Cauliflowers and Broccoli Cheese casserole. He graded Parmesan Reggiano Cheese and placed it with chunk of Gorgonzola bits on top.

I Momo was a daddy's big helper. I cleaned the mess on the plate after he grated cheese. Yes, no dishwasher needed in this kitchen.

Mr. Birdy on the grill. "Getting there!

We wanted our human pup to participate this Thanksgiving so it was his turn to be at the chef's table. (sort of...)

"Is that my dinner??"

One of our mom's favourite, Roasted potato with lots of LOTS of garlic, sliced onion and herbs.

Seems like our dad got this little helper.

He prepared some healthy choice, too. We were interested in these teeny tiny squash. Very cute!

Mr. Birdy's arrival to our kitchen. "WELCOME!!"

"Let me get out from here!!"

"Ahhhh... HELLO~ "

One more shot! :D

Dad sliced our main dinner. "Keep a big slice for me, please!

Our turkey dinner was done. Why no Pinot around here?? When I (Pinot) saw a big frame coming our from our Green Big Egg a while ago, I got very scared. Since them, i have to be a way from the kitchen whenever dad fires up the BBQ. "So can I have two bowls?"

OK.. I only got one bowl as usual.

"Dinner is ready!"

Happy mom posed to the camera.

Mom also prepared our pup's first Thanksgiving Dinner plate.

"Cheeeeeeeeese!"

Mom wanted to make desert BUT dad suggested not to. BOL So they bought this pumpkin cheese cake.

"Are you saying that is our share? Where does the rest go??"

We were trilled to share Thanksgiving dinner with our pup but... guess what? He wasn't into turkey at all!!! hahahahaha.... (Mom is here... :) Even if I am a lacto vegetarian, I have given James some meat but it's been always hidden under sauce or veggies so this was his first time to see actual meat pieces. I wonder if this is why he wasn't into turkey meat?!?) "NO Way, Mom!!"

Thank you very much dad for wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner!!! ***** RIP Momo the hammy ****** We've just noticed that our friend, Shushu and Kero's beloved sister Momo went across the bridge on August 4th. (Photo: courtesy of Shushu's blog.)

Momo, we hope you keep smiling just like you do on this photo and enjoy running in the wheel. Momo & Pinot/J & R

A package from Texas!!!

Our human pup shouted 'Ahhhh Daaaaa.....!' (translation: Loooooooooook!)

while he was delivering a huge package in his walker to us.

Yes, M we mentioned on our past post is a very good friend of us Mango!!!!!

Our brudder gave us a teeny tiny help to open this huge package.

Shortly after our exciting pressy opening night, he was all of a sudden so tired

and needed to go to bed. :P :P

OMD!!! We were so touched... Each pressi means a lot to us. (The black shadow on right side is me, Pinot... hahaha.. I was so excited and had no moment to stay still to pose the camera.) First... we LOVE this treats!!! So yummy! We kept begging our mom to give us more treat. And... we almost cried when we saw this photo in this cute frame. Thank you very very much, Mango, Ximui, Chubs and mom!!! I (Momo) am a serious thinker and I (Pinot) am a happy happy 'we think about it later Yay!' doggie... This is how we bark THANK YOU to Mango and his family. We forgot to mention eaerlier. We admire this Mr. Blue Doggie!!!

Yes, sir, we'll kiss you forever!!!

Next day, feeling so refresh

our pup wanted to try his new outfit on.

He also needed to give a BIG hug to his new buddy!

Then he tried his new Halloween shoes.. still holding his new buddy.

"Size is pawfect...opps perfect. I am learning doggie language.

How did Mango know my shoe size??

Even our pawrents don't know..."

We had a chit chat about coming Halloween.

Mango and family, thank you so much again for making us smile. :) :) :)

We keep smiling whenever we see your pressie.

BTW... (Momo)

Sorry for my absence from these photos. I am simply not a morning doggie.

Ahhhh... We can't wait Halloween !!!

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!!

Coming Monday, October 12th is our Thanksgiving Day here in Canada which means

we'll have big turkey dinner!!

This Thanksgiving will be a special one coz our human pup

will be at the table with us and we'll share lots of lots of food! :) :)

We Googled a bit and learnt that Thanksgiving Day in Canada has been a holiday

on the second Monday of October since 1957. A lot earlier than our friends' celebration in US.

Our pawrents brought some autumn decoration today.

The autumn wreath looks good and we're sure it will be replaced by a

red and green thingy after Halloween!

Momo & Pinot/J & R

ps: We've received a great package from our friend in Texas.

We don't reveal who she/he is today but the pic of our exciting day will be posted soon!

(Thank you, thank you, thank you, M!!)

It's MY turn. My parkday pawty!

(September 18, 2009)

Mom showed me 'something special' just for me.

"Extra Old Cheddar Cheese! Sounds good to me!"

Meantime we smelled something ...

We seated at the chef's table. :) :)

"Our steak is done!"

Our private chef was making beef'n'veggi gravy.

The chef's mission completed!

"Let's dig in!!"

After dinner, we saw mom started making something.

"These look familiar! Are these exact same cookies she baked on Momo's barkday?"

(Mom) "Yes, I baked bone shaped cookies based on the same recipe

but I added the secret ingredient for the barkday boy!!"

Mom proudly showed us the "2" shaped cookie

with an ear and tail representing us Cavalier.

"Thanks mom but are you insulting us? Did you say Cavalier ear and tail??"

Actually we didn't really taste Cheddar cheese flavour but we appreciate her efforts.

**************** SWAG BAG *****************

Remember what we came by Cavalier Playday in late August

but we had to leave earlier due to our humans schedule? The organizer of this successful event, Brian kindly kept a swag bag for us and mom pick it up at his office two weeks after our fun day.

He also reserved two T's for mom and dad.

Can you see this famous Cavalier named Jasper on the T-shirt? I tried to pose the same.

We knew we missed out so much. There are lots of lots of goodies in the bag

but we really wished we could have stayed until the end when we saw the raffle tickets.

"Are these tickets still valid??"

This snood is a very useful. We received one so..

I took it!

"I am older and my ears are longer!"

Thanks so much again Brian!!
