Manchester Moment: Fun with Photoshop!

So HM had me out in the back field on the weekend with a disposable camera (good news...they are shopping for a new one this weekend!!), and took some shots of me in the snow.

She then got them developed, put on CD and decided to have some fun with them! Since the shots were all on snow the backgrounds looked totally white. So HM created some composites of my photos to make it look like there were clones of me!! BOL!

101 Dalmations: First Time on DVD this Decade!!!

The classic movie that probably made all your humans want to have a dog of their own! (and leave a soft spot for a Dalmation!)

Disney is re-releasing 101 Dalmations for a limited time! A special 2-disc DVD, digitally enhanced with new bonus features!

I'm sending HM out to get one today! She LOVES Disney movies, and this is among her top 5!

Buckle Up for Safety!!

A new campaign is hitting the streets, and has car companies like Volvo going to the dogs!

BarkBuckleUP campaign educates pet parents on how to put on and take off safety pet belts and the importance of securing their pet safely for travel.

BarkBuckleUP will educate nationally (in the US), for people to USE a pet safety belt every time, day & night, 24/7, coast to coast, Safety Belts Save Lives and Money.

Volvo, the car brand best known for safety has teamed up with BarkBuckleUp to promote the safe transportation of pets in vehicles. At the Chicago Auto Show, the partnership was promoted with, of course, canine companions.

There are a number of ways to secure your pet in the car, including harnesses that can attach to the seatbelt or integrated cages available on some vehicles.

So buckle up pups!!

Agility Withdrawl

*sigh*. Today is the day I usually have agility class. But we're on a 2 week hiatus.

The Daily Simba

It's been awhile since I posted some random photos of myself. Since HM STILL hasn't gotten a new camera, I'm dipping into the archives..cause just like you a blog with photos is just more fun! Enjoy!

Me and some of my favourite toys (some of which are no longer with us...)

A shot from last summer at Greenwood

New Puggle on The Hills

Strange Happenings...

Sorry pups...haven't been up to my normal blogging self lately. HM is extremely busy and hogging the computer AND I had a weird experience yesterday and have not been up to snuff (or is that sniff? BOL!)

HM took me to a new groomer yesterday and basically since I came back it's like I lost my mojo. I'm a bit mopey and my tail kinda hovers between my legs or sticks straight down..HM thinks it's a sign of lack of confidence. You know how it is being thrust into a new environment...AND she gave me a bath and clipped my nails!!!

Anyway, I have agility this morning and we all know the healing powers it wields!!

Paw It Forward!

Hey pups, nothing really exciting to blog about this week. It's still cold out.

Here are some blogs I really enjoying sniffing around! Have a visit, and tell them Simba sent you! Arooooo!
------------------------
Simba's World! How can you not love a pup with such a great name! ;o)

Frasier's Doggy Blog. A great blog complete with sarcasm and attitude only a JRT could give!

Lastly, for those who like agility, or seeing cool dog tricks...pay a visit to Sassie Joiris' blog. She's a professional animal trainer and posts LOTS of video of her pups doing agility and learning new tricks. Check out some of Boing the Whippet learning to do a handstand!

Feeling much better! Agility heals! BOL!

BOL! So I felt MUCH better yesterday! I went to agility and had lots of fun! HM is off work today..it's a brand new holiday in Ontario...Family Day! So I get more snuggle time today!

Well, HM decided to set up a little jump/tunnel sequence in our living room today. Here's some video of me! Enjoy! (sorry..I came so fast, and HM was videoing herself..so you can't really see me over the small jump...)
