My bootiful Sunday!

It was again 25C (77F) and sunny on Sunday.

This picture is small but if you enlarge it

you can see part of Lake Ontario.

"Mom, Dad! I think we should do a long walky on Discovery Walk!"

Can you see autum leaves from my window? We should go and

check this out!"

One of Discovery Walks in Rosedale Ravine is not far from our place as

you can see.

While our walky in our neighbourhood

I found this giant pumpkin. We reached to this quiet park and surprise!! (once again, please enlarge this tiny pic.) (Momo) "Can you see two Great Danes behind us?" (Mom) "Momo, these are NOT Great Dans. Mom hoursy and her baby horsey" We stepped into the Discovery Walk. "We'll have fun!"

I was so excited to sniff leaves, chase squirrels and birdy,

greet other hikers....

There is a sign but it's not very clear.

So we just listed by ear and kept walking.

Strange enough the trail is cut off by

busy Mt. Pleasant Road.

Back to the trail...

Air is nice and fresh.

"Mom, it's almost the end of this route."

We took a break at David A Balfour park.

This cute doggie came to say Hi to me. :)

"Sorry pal! I am friendly doggie but I am just thinking about our short trip

on the trail."

"What a nice Sunday!"

We spent about three hours at the trail and parks.

********************

Back to our street...

"Let's go home it's almost nice! Desperate Housewives

is start soon!"

Pee ess: Did anyone visit Pearly's blog recently?

I haven't been able to visit her blog for some reasons.

If you have a chance to talk to her please say HI for me!!

Double Awards!! :)

How can I expect this? I am so flattered!

My new kitty friend Momo dedicated this award to me yesterday.

I was thinking to delicate this to Lorenza...

Today I noticed that she has given me this award.

Woah, Live is good and thank you Momo and Lorenza! Halloween is just around the corner.

The weather has been so unusual. We thought summer is over but

we're still having 20 degrees Celsius day (68F) which is very nice.

I wonder it must be so confusing for trees, plants, migrating birdies.....

*********************

Anyway...this photo was taken at the walking trail two weekend ago

and I really like it.

Back to the award, i would love to delicate this award to Asta, Harry, Stanley,

Sparky and Marvin!

Have a great weekend! Momo/J & R

Happy Barkday, mom! :)

Yesterday was my mom's barkday.

"Are these roses for me??" :)

No, no.. these are one of the pressies my dad selected for my mom.

These roses absolutely made my mom happy. When she received them at her work,

they definitely brightened her day and she didn't care the project she was working on

anymore. These are the pressies I selected for my mom! :) A barkday card, a pearl white leash and 'good bites' -low fat & chicken flavour treats! I figured the leash didn't fit my mom so I decided to keep it for myself. ******************** While my dad took my mom out for her barkday dinner last night, I took a tour in Berlin which was guided by my new friend Charlie. Apparently Berlin is not the only bootiful destination but also a very pet friendly city. Tour part2 is coming soon so please come visit Charlie's blog. A while Balboa tagged me for 'what kind of vehicle are you' game. Sorry for the delay, Balboa, you probably don't remember what you have tagged me.

**************** So back to the game, my answer is "MINI!" It's small and cute but all sporty and powerful!!

More tag games will be posted shortly. Momo/J & R

Happy 1st Anniversary to my blog! :)

*******************

I have a short announcement today, October 15th.

It's been a year since I asked my mom to type up my words

along with some pictures to the cyber world

after my dad encouraged us to do so. :)

Whoa, I can't believe it's been a year!!!

*********************

This photo below was taken a year ago. Me at our usual park on October 15, 2006.

*********************

After our first post, we met some doggies and one of them

Buster asked me to join DWB. OMD, Thank you so much, Buster.

.... rest is history as you know.

I've met so many great friends though DWB and I am so greatful...

*********************

Some of you might have noticed my new friend, Momo-cat

(we have the same name, how cool is that!) and her close friend, Charlie.

Momo-cat counted how many friends I have met so far...

and her count is 81. :)

ok.. back to my diary... Hope every doggie, hammi, kitty, oh yes, hoooman had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good. We went to see Toronto Marathon at the first time. My dad and I are good athletics as you know. :) My dad always wanted to go and see it since he moved to Toronto a few years ago so we finally made it. On Sunday morning we got up earliER than usual (sorry to miss the chat wtih Buster!) and we decided to stop just before the finishing line. These are running hoomans! Me, a doggie, one of the audiences.

We met more doggie audiences.....

The first runner was approaching to the finishing line.

Wow, he was about to finish 42k!

Eveyone was in a good mood and it was fun to be there.

My dad was definitely inspired. He ran a bit on his treadmill today which was

his first time in 10 months.

My mom? Forget it! She's not a runner at all!

Momo on postage stapms! :)

***********

While I was relaxing in the afternoon,

an enveloped from Canada Post arrived.

And.. this is what I received.

It's me..... on actual stamps! (These are not children stickers! hehehe..) My dad ordered personalized postage stamps using one of the photos we took at Niagara Falls. Do you think i should frame this or.... I should show it off on a mail?? :) This is what my pawrents can't stop laughing. Do I look so funny??? Do I?!?!? Momo/J & R

Thanksgiving weekend!

**************

I wonder if there is really a difference between

our thanksgiving and American's so I googled a bit.

In Canada Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday in October.

Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World,

Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest.

The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States

due to the simple fact that Canada is further north.

"Ha, I learnt something new. We celebrate thanksgiving

much earlier than US doggies coz of this simple fact!"

*****************

After our evening walky on Sunday I decided to take a boooty nap!

"I have to look fabulous at the pawty! I know my mom will

take lots of pictures!"

"Let hooomans work for the fiesta! Here's our chef and mom will be a

photographer and .. I would say a clean up girl!" "Whoa, this turkey looks HUGE!" ZZZZZZZZ..... My mom LOVES stuffing. :) This year we made it with lots of lots of herbs and wild rice. We were thinking to prepare 4 packs of stuffing to make my mom happy but 2 packs were actually enough...even for my mom, Stuffing Lover! Turkey is ready!

"See you birdy in a few hours!"

"I better check and see how our chef is doing!"

"Cranberry sauce with lemon zest sounds good!

This pretty colour increases our appetite!!"

sniff.. sniff.... sniff......

"Ohhhhh my favorite cauliflower & broccoli with

cheese sauce. (Cheddar and Parmesan.) YUM"

I don't post picutres but we prepared more veggie dishes.

"MY stuffing!!! Yay!" :)

"Looks like our turkey is ready!" Tada!

"The skin looks nice & crispy and smells absolutely pawsome!"

"Are you gonna give me a sample? dad?"

"Dinner time!!!

Let me try more turkey? I'll be here forever!"

Yes, my pawrents made me try yummy turkey dinner.

And hey, I had my own stuffing!

Everything my pawrents made was so yummy...

Guess what?

We didn't have room for dessert.

Desperate Housedogs???

My pawrents found these toys the other day.

No way!!!

I am not desperate at all. I just came back from Butchy's overnight campout.

After a moment of silence to remember our friend Herbie

(I've never met him but we're all friends, right?)

we had a fantastic time!

There is NO way I would be desperate!

Did you know Bree, Gabbie, Lynette, Susan and Edie on

Wisteria Lane are all chewable?? :) Besides this is the Thanksgiving weekend!!

How can I be desperate? NEVER!

All I can think of right now is............

BIRDY!!

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Weekend for fellow Canadian Doggies

and Have a Great Weekend for ALL!

Momo/J & R

Butchy's Birfday Overnight Campout is tomorrow!! I can't believe that I am going to another birfday bash! I just made a reservation on my favorite airliner Air Ruby this morning.

*****************

I've never camping before so it took some time to decide

what to wear. You know I am sometime indecisive even if

Butchy and Snicker said we can wear whatever we want to.

I finally chose this raincoat and a hat that are my barkday gifts from my pawrents.

So now I, MOMO ready for the pawty!

I'll see everyone shortly!

"My First Day with My Hoooomans"

I was tagged by River some time ago to tell you all

about my first day with my mom and dad.

*********************

These pictures were taken a few minutes after we met at the first time.

My mom was taking these photos using her cell phone camera

therefor the image is tiny and the quality is terrible!

"Can you see the top left picture?"

This picture is NOT cropped. My mom was excited when she met me

and cut off my dad's head. hehehehe... :)

I almost forget about this....but

I was supposed to be adopted by another family (Yes, I was taken!)

but luckily this family had to give me up due to their family issue.

So my hoomans were contacted and came to see me. :)

First time they saw me they were so pleased and decided to take me home.

It was November. Outside was chilly but I had this warm and good feeling. :)

**********************

This picture was taken on the way to home.

I was pooped so I took a quick nap.

My hooomans always tell me that I was a very good puppy from Day 1.

I didn't cry at all and slept good on my first night at my hooomans'.

I ate well and I was very playful.

I even didn't mind to go to the vet for my first check-up on Day 2.

This is our very first family photo on Day 1!

"Why did we all in the kitchen?? Never mind!"

I was 2 month old. "Tiny, huh?"

My first treat! It took hours to finish it!

My first close-up photo. I was not a camera shy at all. Dinner time! Me sticking out my tongue! Looking down from my window. "Is this pumpkin my new toy???"

My first hooodie!

I have posted this video in my early post but here's one more....

This time I'd like to pass this game on to Pacco and Freda!
