Puppy Wars

March 18, 2010 in Willie by KarenNYC | 3 comments

That’s what my life has consisted of for the past few days and I’m not complaining! I’m spending some time in NC this week, (fyi it’s 75 degrees and sunny here. Heaven), and while my parents are at work during the day I’ve been applying to more jobs and babysitting the puppies. Yes, that’s right, that was plural. PUPPIES. Remember when we told you about my parents adopting Willie’s sister Patsy? Well, she’s here and boy is she a little spitfire. She was the runt of the litter and always had to fight for status, and that is definitely evident. Willie and Patsy have been spending the past few days getting reacquainted and lets just say there has been a lot of growling, nipping, apparent jealousy and humping (ew, gross). Willie obviously has no clue what he’s doing, I caught him trying to hump Patsy’s head once, but he just has raging hormones! (TMI?) They’re obviously playing because they know when to stop, but good Lord it seems like they’re waging war against each other. Check out the pics below, and there will be a video coming along too whenever YouTube decides to finish downloading it. Nope, YouTube refuses to download my video. Boo.

: Meet Patsy!

: Brother on the left and Sister on the right

: Tired after a long battle

: Sleepy girl

: Oh, hi!

: Getting into trouble together

: Always picking on each other

But at the end of the day they’re still brother and sister. They eat together, drink together, sleep together and even go to the bathroom together. Cute.

Puppy Swimming

So, when I got home from enjoying the beautiful weather yesterday, it was a lot later than I had anticipated. But look what Willie learned while I was gone!

Sorry for the bad lighting and bad quality of the video. My favorite part is the sound his little wet paws make on the wet floor as he clomps around, haha!

Here Comes Trouble

Looks like it’s time to re-arrange Willie’s playpen or else we’re going to have an escaped convict on our hands…

Greetings from Antarctica

I’ve been feeling pretty under the weather for the past 2 days, ick. I can’t really complain though because I haven’t been sick for quite some time now, so I reckon I was due. Willie’s been a great doctor though and if puppy kisses had healing powers, I would have been back to full health by yesterday. And to top it all off, we’re getting MORE snow today. I swear, I have never seen so much snow in my life. I mean yes it’s beautiful and all, but can a girl get a little break? No? Fine. At least this time around the weatherman is giving the storm a cooler name: The Snow-cane. Delightfully named for the hurricane force winds accompanying this wonderful little storm. That’s so much better than Snowmageddon, and Snowpocalypse. Oh wait, no it’s not. Oh well, here’s to a day of deep cleaning the apartment, sending out more resumes and cover letters and resting up to feel better.

At least I have a little snuggle bunny to sleep with

Giving me those bedroom eyes, haha

Good Morning Mommy!

Stay warm wherever you are!

The Tale of the Copy-Cat Little Sister

February 22, 2010 in Willie by KarenNYC | 6 comments

I think Anna’s going to be mad at me. I mean not really mad, but maybe kinda mad. Remember when she posted about her awesome Christmas present? Yea, her awesome Canon Rebel XSi. Well, Jeff and I got to talking about how much we would like a good quality camera and after some encouragement from our friends up here that have one, Jeff surprised me with the news over our Valentine’s ski weekend that we were going shopping for a new camera when we got home! I was stoked! There’s been so many times that I’ve been in a situation up here that I wished I had a baller camera to capture the memories. And now we do!

After doing lots of research on a good quality camera, for the best deal, we headed over to B and H Photo and Video down on 34th street, (which by the way is the COOLEST store I’ve ever been in, it was like the circus), and bought our new toy. We decided on the Canon EOS Digital Rebel T1i and we got a really sweet deal on it; cheaper than Amazon! It’s a great camera and we especially love the HD video capabilities since we didn’t have any sort of video camera. But to make a long story short, me being the copy-cat little sister that I am, I took some practice pictures with my camera too. And surprise, surprise, my test subject was none other than our little Wills, along with some others. I can’t wait to freshen up the skills I learned in my photography classes at college!

Look at the cute.

“Let….me….just….

….nom, nom, nom.”

Somebody forgot to tell the snow!

I’m willing to bet you’re having a better one than Willie. He had his first bath today

ANGER. Plotting his future revenge.

But he’s all fluffy and clean again!

Ah, yes. Willie is super excited about meeting big cousin Jack too! And he can’t wait to show him how much of a big boy he has grown to be. He can shake people’s hands too just like Jackie-Bear! I wonder if we could teach them to shake paws? Hmmmm….

Vote for Willie!

February 12, 2010 in Willie by KarenNYC | No comments

Calling all readers, friends, and family! I’m unleashing my inner stage mom and trying to turn my little baby into a star! I’ve entered Willie in the Bissell Most Valuable Pet contest to see if Willie can win the chance to have his picture featured on a Bissell Box! Crazy, right? I know, but it can’t hurt to try! Basically how it works is that there is 12 weeks of voting and each week there are 5 semifinalists chosen based on the number of votes they receive during their voting period. I have entered Willie in the week 6 voting session and that’s where I need your help! Here’s what you do:

1. Click Here (I also added a convenient button for you to click on the side of the blog!)

2. VOTE FOR WILLIE! (Entrant #0601798)

Easy enough right? Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell your friends’ neighbors! Willie’s currently racing 5000 other pets on his quest to become the Week 6 Votes Winner and he needs your help!

Voting begins TODAY, February 12 and continues through Thursday, February 18. You have to create an account with Bissell online in order to vote, but it’s very quick and easy and there is no junk mail attached to creating an account! I Promise! My inbox is Bissell junk mail free You can only vote once during the entire voting session, so make that one vote for Willie!

An even better reason to vote is that if Willie wins, not only will he be a featured pet, but $10,000 will be donated in his name to any animal charity that his owners choose. How wonderful is that? Think about what a huge difference $10,000 could do if given to the ASPCA, or even given to a local animal shelter of our choosing? How many pet’s lives could be saved with that kind of money? Or how many malnourished or sick animals could get the treatment they need? Tremendous.

Let’s see if we can get 1000 votes for Willie! Come on y’all, we can do this!!! I’ll keep you update as the week progresses!

In honor of the upcoming Olympic games, Willie decided to take part in his own event that unfortunately hasn’t been added as an official Olympic sport quite yet. Here’s his gold medal effort in the Men’s Upside Down Doggy Bobsled!
