Aunties went on vacation and brought us.....

Lia: YAYYYYYYYYY....Jada's Moms back from Hilton Head and brought each of us a new Salty Dog Cafe bandana instead of a stupid t-shirt. I lovvvve purple. Put mine on.

Zoe: We're ALL going to have to wear them and pose for blog pictures....I HATE clothes....Dogs are not supposed to wear clothes (unless it's a taffeta dress...or silk).

Lia: Here we go: back shot....then front shot........smile for the camera...

Zoe: That's it, Jada. If I have to wear this cotton fabric, you have to sit up.

Jada: No problem. cheeeeeeeeese.

Lia: We're beeeeauuuuuuuuutiful. We're like a rainbow of colors.......

Zoe: (...and dressed up like silly little pixies........wait...a big fat dog can't be a pixie....)

Sweet Revenge

Lia: I'm bored.

Jada: Me too.

Zoe: I've got an idea - Jada: pretend you have to pee and we'll gather at our meeting fence.



Zoe: Ok. Now we all pretend we're watching someone. Ok...I know you're disappointed about the trampoline...but have you ever been UPstairs?

Lia: UPstairs where? What's up there?

Jada: Ya...and....once again...how much trouble are we in???

Zoe: Look...I went up there!! There's a glass pane missing, we can get into the room...lots of things to smell and chew....let's go.

Jada: Ummm...Zoe.....Lia and I can't fit through that little hole.

Lia: And I'm not going in there - even tho it smells good - without Jada or Mommy. Let's go nap.

Jada: Know whut? I don't think she knows how to come back through that hole to get out. She's stuck. Should we tell Aunt Kandiss?

Lia: When we wake up. She has this coming!

People toys

Lia: We need a new toy and I know exactly what it is. You guyz wanna know what it is?

Zoe: Uhhhh....(sigh).....sure.
Jada: Is this gonna be like her last idea when we all got busted?
Zoe: You never know with her.

Lia: We need a TRAMPOLINE!

Zoe: That is NOT a dog toy!!!




Jada: And it looks awfully big and scarey to me....and only People get on it...






Lia: Oh yah, you two so-smarty pants: GO HERE AND WATCH THIS: (and turn speakers UP)

Distinction

Lia: Mom says it smells out here lately and to be careful of black and white animals.

Zoe: She doesn't mean ALL black and white animals - just some.

Lia: Yeah...SMALL with up tails

Zoe: NOT ALL!!!! JUST SKUNKS!
Lia: They all look the same to me....I'm confused - what should we do?

Zoe: Nap.
Zoe: (....here kitty, kitty, kitty......Lia wants to play.....)

Optomist

Lia: Smmmmmmmmmillllllllllle!

Zoe: What?

Lia: Ya, SMILE! I think if everyone would give up the grumpy, negative, rude for the nice, positive, considerate - this would be a better place. Sure, it would be nice if we weren't at war...or the education system got fixed...or gas prices went down...or they'd put more steak in dog food............but if NONE of that changed and everyone smiled back at you smiling, I think all that other stuff wouldn't feel so bad. That's what I'd do to change things: SMILE.

Zoe: (...young economist with rose colored glasses......)

THERE'S A BEAST UNDER THE DECK!

Zoe: Oooooo...there's something BIG under there...



I gotta stretch out as far as I can to see if I can detect what it is...

Mom...stop laughing behind that screen and come out here to help me....

Ahhh...ok....chipmunk....smaller than me and doesn't spray skankie stuff...

Back to being queen of the hill.....all better....

Lia: (...and you all thought I was the dumb one...)

Diet Ice Cream

Zoe: All: please be patient with Mom's video abilities - she's learning.

Lia: I think I look so-o-o-o cool....I hope Leo sees this:

Decisions ... Decisions...

To Bailey, Riley and Sadie ~

Zoe: I don't know girls....this is difficult....should I go for a Benji or more for the clever and handsome Eddie Crane?

Lia: Tell you what I think.....

Zoe: Ohhhh Lordie....what?

Lia: BUBBA! HE'S SEXY!

Zoe: He is........FOR YOU!!! (...let's see....Petfinders.com...)

Mutt Matcher dot com

LEO

Lia: ***sighhhhhhhhhhhhhh***.....His name is Leo. Isn't he the handsomest? He wants to see pictures of me, so Mommy will take some tonight and we'll post them tomorrow. Dreamie...that's what he is...I think he might be THE ONE.

Zoe: (.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeks! he's got CROOKED teeth just like YOU!...)

House Hunting

Lia: We need a dog house to relax in when we're outside...

Zoe: You don't mean one of those little dog houses that gets to 120 degrees inside and wood floors with slivers, do you?

Lia: No. Ours would be really nice with water, a carpet to pull ourselves on..a bed...and we could bring sticks and wet leaves inside if we wanted...just DOG rules only...

Zoe: And raised so if it rained our flooring wouldn't get wet....

Lia: Ya - like this one?

Zoe: No...if we're gonna do this, be serious:

Lia: Wow...I may never come down to earth again.

Zoe: (....now we're getting somewhere...)

Testing....testing......

Lia: What's that black square thingey by Mommy's eye?

Zoe: It's called a FLIP - it's a video camcorder.

Lia: What does it do?

Zoe: Takes clear action pictures of you and your antics.

Lia: Cool!

Zoe: (.....here we go..............)

Too Early...Too Dark for Mommy

Lia: We have a brother?

Zoe: Not WE......ME. He's on the Greatest American Dog Competition - CBS @ 8 tonite...you can see him then.

Talking Jada

Rain Rain Go Away...

Zoe: I sure am tired of the rain.

Lia: And the couds???????????????????????????????????

Zoe: Yes, and the wet sloppy muddy wet stuff...

Lia: And the beautiful swirls and incredible movement of dark stormy skies?

Zoe: Are you nutz?

Lia: No.

Zoe: (....wrong answer...)

Stowaway with Aunti Santi

Lia: What's this 'get-away' stuff Mommy's talking about?

Zoe: Oh, just a change of scenery...it's good to treat oneself to a break.

Lia: Well, I found this picture and I'm gonna talk her into going Up North and taking me.

Zoe: See Ya.

Lia: Aren't you coming?

Zoe: Nope - I'm hiding in Aunti Santi's suitcase and headed for a place with class.

Lia: I'd rather go UP NORTH....I hated going to class.

Zoe: (.....hence the dummy...)
