Aspen the Yorkie

Only 2-3 weeks ago, I posted some pictures of a few of my cat friends in Australia at this link, and sadly, received news yesterday that the precious little kitty pictured first in the post was quite ill, and as of today, is no longer alive.

My owners and I are so sad to hear this news, it’s hard for humans to say goodbye to their pets, I guess we become like family to them, I know my people are like family to me. You are going to want to click and read Kathie’s wonderful tribute to her Beauie, “Ode to Beauie“.

Lots of human hugs and yorkie kisses from our home in the US to your home in Australia, Kathie and family.

This is another new friend of mine, a baby puppy picture of a French Bulldog with a very fancy name, MaRee’ Antoinette! Her owner, Debbie Mormino, told us that she is now 3 years old and very cute, but this picture is from when she was just a little puppy. It looks like she is on a pretty bedspread, maybe that means she likes to sleep in the bed with her owner(s) like I do, right between the pillows because I’m so tiny.

I don’t really know a lot about French Bulldogs, it looks like they aren’t quite as fuzzy as I am, and I bet they don’t have to go to the groomer and get their hair cut, that would be really nice!

I hope you’ll click on Debbie Mormino’s link, she helps woman learn how to prevent breast cancer, so she calls herself a cute name, “The Breast Diva”.

I’m really happy to introduce you to another dog friend of mine named Jack. His owner mommy, Vicki Taylor, said he was an American Eskimo, maybe that’s why he has such a beautiful, white coat of hair. We were looking around on the web, and saw that some people call their American Eskimo an “Eskie”, just like a Yorkshire Terrier is called a “Yorkie”. My owner keeps saying she’s never seen a dog like this, they are so pretty and white.

Jack is a BIG dog compared to little me, and he is the one that introduced me to Dogster. If you click right here, you can visit his site. I haven’t joined dogster yet, but will let you know when I do.

This is my friend, Pixel. Pixel visits here a lot, and leaves funny and nice comments on my posts.

Pixel is a Yorkie-Poo, I hope I spelled that right and won’t tell you what I thought it meant at first (LOL), because Pixel’s human, the famous “Pop Art Diva” said she is called that because she is partly poodle. But only about 10% so that’s why she’s almost totally a Yorkie just like me!!

I’ll tell you why her picture looks like it does in a minute…but first, this cute little Yorkie lives in Arizona, and loves to travel to art shows with her owner. I’ve also heard she LOVES her cookies!

Now for the picture, if you are owned by a talented artist, I guess this is what happens to your picture, your hair gets a “Photoshop Grooming”. I bet that if you have a dog picture that needs a Photoshop Grooming, the Pop Art Diva can do it for you, but I’m not sure, you’ll have to ask her. She has a really colorful website right here, and you can find her colorful blogs from there.

AND, not to be outdone, Pixel is going to have her own blog, just like I do. Her blog is going to be pixelthepuppy.com, if you go there now, and there is nothing but a hosting service page, come back and try again soon!

I have another friend to introduce you too, and from this picture, I’d say this is one lucky dog! I mean look at her, she can lounge in the grass…I can’t do that ’cause I have allergies to flea bites, even if they just hop on and give me one little bite, and that happens even if I have my Frontline on. Kelly is 12 1/2 years old, and is part Yellow Labrador Retriever and part something else, maybe terrier.

Her full name is Kelle Belle, and her owner, Debra Shiveley Welch said saying her name is kinda’ like singing “Wooly Booley”, my owner laughed, but I was a little confused? After all, my owner is a LOT older than I am…oh, I’m not supposed to say that!  But she remembered a song and started to sing it.  Very strange human behavior.

I guess you’re wondering about the “Cops” thing. My owner said Cops are Police men and women. They ride around in cars that have sirens and flashy lights sometimes.  They are there to protect humans from danger, but she said that once in a while, VERY rarely (ha!) one pulls up behind her and she has to pull the car over and show the police person some little papers in her wallet.  Then he gives her something called a ticket.

But for Wooly Booley, I mean Kelly Belle, that doesn’t happen. When they are driving behind her owners car, they think she’s so cute they make kissy faces at her, I bet that has saved Debra LOTS of tickets! I’ll have to try that sometime, because even though I don’t know what a ticket is, it sounds like something bad.

I’m happy to have another new friend! She takes good care of Debra’s son, Chris, too. Oh, did I tell you that Debra and her son are both authors? You’ll have to visit Debra’s website!

I thought I’d introduce you to some of my friends. Some I’ve met all by myself, others my owner has introduced me to. Today I’m going to introduce you to 4 cats, yes, me, a dog introducing cats. But these are special cats because they are owned by a special lady in Australia who is having a book launch TODAY! If you are a person who works at home, or thinking of working at home, you’ll want to visit eBook & Book Reviews & News and look for the post on this special “Amazon Blitz”. Don’t worry, it opens a separate page and you can come right back here after you visit. It’s going great so far!

Anyway, back to the cats. This is from Kathie Thomas’ web page showing her cats taking advantage of her office space, the place where her books have their beginning, at least the writing part. They are really cute!

This is Beauie sleeping in a paper pile.

Here’s Shadow resting in the desk drawer

This is Smokey, looks like he’s waiting for a fax

and finally, Toki, after a long day in the office.

Thanks, Kathie, for sharing these pictures, they are so fun, and here’s the original post that Kathie sent us to borrow the pictures from.

Kathie, my owner and I wish you the very best in with your “book blitz” today and hope you sell lots of copies of “Worth More Than Rubies“, my owner bought a copy, she can’t wait to get it!
