Happy Barkday Pinot!!! - Pinot's Barkday Bash!

My barkday was September 18 but the pawty was postponed

due to our brudder's needs.

Dad and mom finally celebrated my 1st barkday on the 27th!

"I can't believe Pinot turns 1 year old!"

This photo was taken a few weeks after Pinot's arrival in last November.

Look how tiny he was!! He was only 1.1kg (2.4 lb) at 8 week old.

(Momo) "He makes me look HUGE!"

Compared to Momo, Pinot is still small but..

"I am no longer puppy!!! YAY YAY"

We put these cool bandannas on which were pressies from Stanley and Stella and

ready for the barkday bash!Our dad, the chef, prepared one of our appetizers, fillet Mignon as our request. :) This photo is blurry but can you see fillet Mignon and some Sea scallops

that mom requested??

Our Main course of the big night was Pinot Pizza!!

While mom took pictures, we supervised our Chef. Pinot Pizza No.1 (Top) - Our first Seafood Pizza!

Ingredients are.... Baby scallops, smoked salmon, boccontini &Gorgonzola cheese,

capers and baby spinach.

Pinot Pizza No.2 (bottom)

Ingredients are... Prosciutt, portabello mushroom, goat & Brie cheese, cantaloupe.

Two pizzas were places on the stones and waited to be cooked

in the big avocado (please click here)... No... BBQ.

After 20 minutes, dad returned from the balcony and showed us one of Pinot Pizzas.

Close up. Mom hold Pinot to take a peak at the pizza together. Seafood pizza was cooked nicely in the BBQ. Then dad put some baby spinach on top. While Pinot's pawty, our brudder slept quietly.

We all shared everything but mom forgot to take a picture. :D

We were all stuffed and dad and Momo took a "break".

How can you take a break BEFORE having this Caramelized Apple cheesecake? :P

Mom and Pinot enjoyed big piece together.

Yum....Yum...

"Happy Barkday Pinot!!"

Our sissy Asta sent us this lovely barkday card for Pinot

before her trip. Thank you so much, Asta! Myspace Glitter Graphics

A package from Gooberstan!!

Dad picked up something that we absolutely didn't expect the other morning.

It was a package from Gooberstan!!!

I, Pinot was excited when I saw two cool bandanas in the package.

Mom had promised us to get some bandanas but she NEVER did! What is her problem??

Then I couldn't help chewing my new buddy, this squeaky chicken!!

We greeted to this cute elephant but it was a pressie for our baby brudder. :) This chicken makes funny noise..

What we were happy to find was these two clothes for James.

Stanley and Stella's girl tie-dyed!!

Aren't they cute???

Mom wanted to put it on James and take a picture but

geeeee...human pup sleeps a lot! She hasn't taken any good pictures but

once she takes it, we'll post it here.

Thank you so much Stanley, Stella and their girl!!!!!

Pinot was still playing with his new friend so he's not in this photo. :P

We want to send our big hugs to Karl for posting this lovely cared on my barkday card

on his blog-The Cat Realm! Thank you!

We're honoured to receive this Proximidade Award from Mango!

Thank you so much Mango!!

********** Sex and The City DVD the Movie Pink Carpet Event *********

Yes, mom and dad left us! They took our brudder and stopped by HMV to get

DVD on the released date. They caught the Pink Carpet Event and had a

chance to take a shot with the event host, Enza 'Super model'.

Luckily mom grabbed the last copy of DVD-Extended Cut on the display.

We watched this unreleased version and we thought this was better than the theatre version.

If you're SATC fan, this version is highly recommended! :)

Dancing With The Stars Season 7!

Did anybody watch the new season of DWTS??

This is our typical "snacky night" when we watch our favourite TV program

and the past three nights of the season premiere weren't exception.

You can see Sushi combos, dumplings, cheese.... on the table.

After this picture was take around 9pm, James gave mom and dad a very hard time

and he was very fussy until 2 in the morning. :(

Poor humans!

PS: Today, 24th is our sissy Asta's Barkday!!

Happy Barkday ASTA!!!

Happy 1 month old birthday, James!!! :) :) :) :)

Dad made a short film to mark our brudder's one month old birthday!

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

We can't believe it's been a month since we welcomed our human pup brudder!!!

Look at this photo! This was taken a day after his birth while he was still at the hospital.

It looks like he tried to look up his daddy.

A month later, he is much bigger!

Mom often says there are TWO babies in this house.

"Who?? Me?? I don't wear a diaper. I play with it!"

So far everything has gone very well. We had a small celebration on the 13th. :)

Our pawrents prepared shrimp cocktails, cheese & broccoli ravioli with paprika cream sauce,

cheese plate, baguette and Very berry tarte!

Momo can't keep her eyes off of the cheese plate.

"I haven't had Stilton Blue while James was in our mom's tummy!!!"

Doesn't this tarte look seriously good?!

Dad said we had to 'sniff' this lovely bubbly drink! Yay!

"Where are our glasses??"

Dad let us wait patiently as usual! "Not too bad!" "Second round please, dad?" Thank you everyone for your congratulations! They've meant a lot to us!! Momo & Pinot/J & R

PS: Thank you very much, Josh and Jessie for passing this award on to us!!!

Momo's barkday fun!!!

My barkday was 2nd but mom nad dad weren't feeling well on that day so there was no

barkday cake... not even some doggie treats.

Meantime we happily received this lovely card from our sissy Asta on my barkday.

Thank you Asta!! This is so sweet!!!

We were impressed by many details on this card

including our requests to our pawrents. :) You can also see Toronto's landmark CN Tower behind us.

...and guess what??

Asta's card worked!!!!! :)

Next day, we smelled something yummy in the kitchen.

Ohhhhhh..... these were what we couldn't take a peak but smelled!

First dad prepared our dinner with beef chops adding this yummy

'Pinot Leasheo' sauce made by Birk Vineyards.

Shortly after our dinner, dad prepared beacon wrapped sea scallops and

3 different kinds of shrimp skewers.

Mom enjoyed using dad's heavy camera.

Since she was the dad's assistant she wanted some good shots.

Mom didn't do much except taking some pictures and looking after James on this night.

Dad returned to the balcony to check our food in the avocado.

The surface of the avocado got really hot so we weren't allowed to enter the balcony.

" I can smell something!!!! I can hardly wait!! I am gonna lick this door!!!"

This is what we were waiting for!!!

"Dad, stop teasing us!!" We were danc'n'eat some pieces of fillet Mignon. :)

Next was our cake time which was the (mom's) highlight of the night.

Last year dad baked two cakes for me, Momo but this year

he didn't get a chance. (pls click here!)

"Dad, you own us something!!"

"Can we eat now??"

(Pinot) "I have to dig in!"

(Momo) "I am THE barkday girl!!! I was gonna have a bit first."

Mom was still playing with dad's camera after he prepared our portions (can you see them??

They were tiny!) and theirs (huge!).

We were very patient... (Momo) "Thank you dad to celebrate my barkday!"
