10 Random Things....

Stella 

Dashell

about me?  Nope.  Megan at An American in Provence  tagged me for "10 random things".  I was tagged a few months ago and you can check it out here if you are at all interested.  I decided to have our dogs do 10 random things about themselves, you know, mix things up a bit.  I have had a few requests to do a post or so including them, so here you go.  All you need to know about our kids.  Since Dashell is older, I'll let him go first.

DASHELL - 4 years old, Golden Retriever

1.  I was born in Storrs, Connecticut

2.  I have flown on a plane twice.  The first time I was 4 months old and flew in my "first" mom's (Patty) arms.  The second was in September when I flew to France.

3.  I am a Northstar Foundation dog

4.  I'm a big scardey cat (say for instance a door is 1/2 closed, instead of using my huge schnoz to open it, I'll just cry until you let me in)

5.  I'm a talker...yes, just like my grandfather who they called "the whirler", I sound like Chewbacca (you know the Wookie from Star Wars). I always have to have something in my mouth when you come home so I can "whirl" away

6.  I love kids and I'm a really nice guy (i know that's two but oh well)

7.  My favorite thing to chew is an empty toilet paper roll (I actually eat it)

8.  My favorite toy is my yellow ice cream cone,  Lorette (who is Sophie's mom) actually introduce me to the cone and it's the only toy that I'll play with.  I'm so happy Mom and Dad brought (4) to france with us

9.  I can do many tricks - shake (with left and right), sit, lay down, high five and turn-around

10. I'm a counter-surfer, great trick (i've scored many goodies), although my mom and dad don't think so!

STELLA - 2 1/2, Terrier Mix

1.  I was dumped at a park on/around Thanksgiving Day 2006 by my first owner (when I was only 4 months old)

2.  I was found by my new parents that day (my mom said to my Dad..."I can't leave her" and he said "Do what you have to do")

3.  I look like a drowned rat when I get a bath

4.  I have many nicknames:  Stella V, Stella Vaughn, Vixon, Vicki, Mitzi, ViVi and Venus

5.  I can almost do a flip - I'd be a great circus dog

6.  I am a girl but look like a boy (I have a beard)

7.  I resemble "The Unibomber" Ted Kaczynski  

8.  I really don't like Maillot kitty, especially when she sleeps by Dashell, argh!

9.  I won't eat my kibble unless mom puts in some pasta, rice or scrambled egg (so spoiled)

10. I have a beautiful under bite!

11. I know we were only to do 10...but we had to put this in. We both miss Augie.
