F-f-f-five Hundred

Five hundred! Five hundred. FIVE. HUNDRED! 

(yes, I'm going to insert a brief thank-you speech, not unlike something you'd encounter on the Emmys, so please, humour me for a few seconds :P)

Firstly: to our amazing - FANTASTIC! TERRIFIC! FANTASTERRIFIC! - clients: 

Have we thanked you for being so awesome? If not, here it is: Thank you. You all have made our lives infinitely better. 

Secondly, to Nigel: 500? Seriously? Wow. That is dedication. You receive a gold star, and your commemorative plaque? It's in the mail. 

Thirdly, to the Small Paws team: We rock. Unequivocally. To us!

So, my dearest internet denizens, I shall see you, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, from the blue-paneled pages of facebook. Onwards and upwards!

Honestly, Zoe is trying to gnaw off Yogi's leg here, and he endured with the patience of a saint. A JEDI saint. 

****

Frodo sans his trademark Jack-o-lantern grin. Both mugs are pretty darned cute, though :)

****

Four words that encapsulate the fervor with which I love my job? 

Puppies. With. Panda. Ears. 

**** 

...Or I could've selected: Puppies. With. Floral. Berets. 

That would've worked just as well :)

****

Dear World: Please continue to populate with world with Labs and Shepherd mixes; I don't want the secret of the sheer AWESOMENESS of Italian Greyhounds to ever get out. I want them all for myself, thank you.

**** 

This is pretty much what happens when (a) Nigel goes away; or (b) I remind Ruby that he's a happily married man.

**** 

Squeeeee! And you thought that she couldn't get any cuter, right? WRONG. 

**** 

Dearest Max. Can you, cybernetizens of the world, see how doe-eyed this wee pooch is? Honestly, his gaze could melt buttah!

**** 

This is my kooky-artistic-expressive-photo-that-doesn't-really-express-anything-concrete photo. I just like it. Snuggles does, too. 

**** 

...It's a little absurd at how many bromances Rocco has. Tyson has, pretty much, the biggest big-bro crush on   Rocco. 

**** 

Vinny wants to make out. Problem? He's not a ball that can be fetched and chewed. Sorry, buddy.

**** 

Such foxy ears. Such a little foxy face. I <3 this dog. 

**** 

Speaking of foxy faces: how happy would you be to find this peering from underneath your door? 

Damn, Zoey: YOU? You cute. 

**** 

And because I can: here's another pic!

(Kaia and Zoey were patiently waiting for their walk)

**** 

Ah, the Dawson and Joey of our time - the paradoxical best-friends-but-possibly-more duo of Rosie and Mr. Bentley.

**** 

Henry is happiness personified. Dogified. Happiness in a fur coat. 

**** 

Aaaand the five hundredth class photo.

Lunches!

Four Hundred and Ninety Ninth Blog Posting. Ever.

(So yes, just as a pleasant reminder, we have, indeed, reached our four hundredth and ninety-ninth blog posting today - please, hold your applause - and we will be transitioning to our facebook page after our FIVE HUNDREDTH blog posting. And in case you were wondering, time does fly when you're having fun ;)

Ahoy there, my landlubbing lovers of canines and canine-related correspondence. So, I was chatting with a darling friend of mine, who confessed - whispered, really - over the phone that she and her fine Airedale (who shall remain nameless, per her request) were ridden with FLEAS!

"Fleas!" She said, wailing. "We're neat people - we donate to charity! We don't deserve it! Not us!"

I assuaged her suffering, but I had to point out - gently - that the presence of fleas has nothing to do with karmic counts or domestic neatness, but ensuring that your beloved pooch is protected, particularly during the  months of April to November. A great product to use is Advantage (which just protects against fleas, and is available without a prescription). Of course, if you'd like protection against other parasites (internal, for example), Advantage Multi, Revolution, or Sentinel are other great options. These products are available only through your veterinary clinic. 

Anyhoo, just thought I'd toss in my two cents. Onwards to pictures of preening and posing puppies!

Dear Dixie - a doxie darling who dotes upon different doggies.

****

Oliver comes on a little too strong for Millie's liking. You really have to buy her flowers first, my dear. 

**** 

Marley wears a silly hat. 'Nuff said.

**** 

This is one of the wee-est and sweetest doggies ever. The folks at Guinness World Records really ought to be notified. 

**** 

Dear me, Darby: Did I startle you? 

**** 

I'm quite fond of this picture - it shows how nicely the dogs wait for their turn for their morning walks. Parents:  give yourselves a pat on the back - your pooches are positively polite. 

**** 

Bruce, Yogi, Barney, Kaia, Marley and Rocco do enjoy a good round of softball. And by softball, I don't mean the organized team sport involving pitches, bases, and hitting, but the age-old game for dogs involving an easily chewed ball with which you can tease the heck out of your playmates. 

**** 

Milhouse takes a moment to whisper sweet nothings into Enid's ear. 

**** 

IF you thought dogs got *less* cute as they aged, well, clearly you haven't met Tyson. Just saying.
