Aspen the Yorkie

We have been updating Squidoo lenses over the past few days, including mine, and would really like you to visit!

Please visit Yorkshire Terrier and Aspen, the Best Yorkie Ever Squidoos, they aren’t long, and easy to visit.

Then you might want to visit my owner’s main “Lensmaster page” to see ALL the Squidoos she does, her most popular is “Is New Jersey Weird”, the Yorkshire Terrier one is 2nd in line, but you might want to visit some others too…like “Strumming the Autoharp”, and her blogs about Bird Feeding, Box Turtles, and even Gravestones. Have fun!

Every night I like to sleep in the bed with my owners. First I spend some time looking out the window for raccoons that like to come up on the deck, and if they do, I bark. That sometimes means I have to leave the bed, so I think it would be pretty neat if there could be a picture of me on the pillow or blanket they have in the bed, so they won’t forget me.

I think the best way to get this done is to have a Photo Blanket made. It’s really not hard to do. You can order your bedding and upload the picture you want on it to a place on the web called Vision Bedding, and they will do all the work for you! I think that sounds like a lot of fun, it can even be a Personalized Photo Blanket…the pictures are very clear, you’ll have to visit the site to see how they do that. And that isn’t all we saw at the website, they even make dog beds with pictures of dogs on it. I could have a bed made with my dog friends pictured in some of the posts on this blog all over it. Then when I get kicked out of bed for barking, my owners will still have something to remind them of me on their bed, and I can go snuggle in to my Vision Bedding dog bed.  Oh, by the way, you can use any picture, it doesn’t have to be a dog.  What a fun gift idea.

I hope all my animal and people friends are doing well today!

My owner received an important email from a friend, and her friend checked it out, all appears to be legit, so read on, and see how simple it is to help our animal friends:

“Hi, all you animal lovers. This is pretty simple… Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute (How about 20 seconds) to go to their site and click on the purple box ‘fund food for animals’ for free. This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Here’s the web site! Pass this info along to people you know.

PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS !!!

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”.

My owner asked me if we could write about Boston. Every summer she thinks about the vacations she took when she was a child to her grandparents house. They lived only 15 minutes outside of Boston off Route 128, so she was able to visit the city many, many times from the time she was a child, to the time she met my other owner, her husband. They even went together.

When you go, you have to plan carefully, as the roadways are not as organized as some cities, I heard them say once that they were patterned after old cow trails. That sounds a little strange to me, but maybe it’s true. They had no trouble getting around by car and using the subways and other transportation to see Old North Church, Faneuil Hall, the Children’s Museum that her Grandfather took her too, Boston Harbor, and walking the Freedom Trail. When she was real young, the trolleys were operating as part of the transportation system, now you can take a trolley tour of Boston. There are so many things to do in Boston. I never got to go with them, because it was long before I was around, but maybe next time they’ll take me along…I’m very small, and I’m sure there are places to stay that will allow pets if we look. One thing Boston doesn’t have, I don’t think, is a Wax Museum, but we live close to New York, and will have to visit Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, I wonder if they have little dog wax figures? There is a website called Trusted Tours & Attractions that has a link to things to do in New York in case you want to come south on the East Coast after your visit to Boston.

Oh, by the way, until the end of the month you might even win a generous iTunes gift card if you sign up for a newsletter at this site that has some great online travel guides

We hope you have a great vacation!  Tell us about it in a comment, did you take your pet with you?

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.

As you may already know, my owner is really into blogging, in fact she asked me if she could do this post. I said yes even though I’d rather be taking a walk or eating a snack, but she convinced me that by talking about socializing through blogging, maybe more people would come and visit us.

There are lots of fun ways you can connect with other people, and we get a lot of help from I Z E A, that’s pronounced like “idea”. We’ve met so many people AND pets through SocialSpark, and with their help, have been able to find a lot of great things to blog about. I think my owner is going to be getting a sample of some air freshener soon to try, and then she can write about it on one of her blogs. What happens after that? Well since I’m a dog and not really good at explaining things like a human, just stop by at this social media link and see for yourself, and I hope you’ll have as much fun as we are. Now I think I better get my owner to take me for a walk, or give me a treat, or SOMETHING, she likes blogging TOO much!
