Loofa Dog Toy Brings on the Zooms!

Rivet just loves this little toy - as you can see!



Oh and by the way, Rivet finished totally updating her Amazon Store for glam little dogs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIVET!!!!!

Today Rivet is 3 years old - and has spent most of the weekend in some form of celebration here is a highlights video of her pool party at the dog park, and opening a present sent by my parents:

Doggie playground!!!!!!

This is Rivet's favorite doggie playground - watch her go!!!

Paper BAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's more fun than a paper bag that has treats and your favorite toy inside????

Don't Wanna Share!

This is MY chewy toy! Let go of it!!!

Everything tastes better when you're fed by hand....

Here's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who also likes the whole hand fed concept:

Rivet navigates some foam board obstacles!

A spoonful of cute helps the voting go down!

If you haven't already, please go vote - its your right and duty as an American - but as all things such as traffic and long lines tend to make some folks apathetic, please push past that and realize that even if it takes you 4 hours to vote, that is nothing compared to the 4 years of regret you might feel if you fail to get out there today.
OK!!! ENOUGH PREACHING! Back to the cuteness!

Making Faces....

We were supposed to be playing fetch, but Rivet decided to just make faces at me instead - which is still quite fun:

MINE!!!!!

Just hanging around

Just a short video of what Rivet likes to do on a regular basis:

Chilling with my best friend....

Rivet got to hang out with Shirley a little earlier today, unfortunately I only had the camera in my phone available, but here's what went on:

Happy Birthday, Rivet!!!!

This past Saturday, Rivet turned 2. She had so much fun the first half of Saturday that she slept the rest of the day away, but it was her birthday and that's what she wanted. It all started at 9:30am when her playgroup met at a local dog park and she hung around with 20 of her friends and made some new ones too. Then we went to a local dog bakery and let her pick out some treats. After coming home and eating, she then fell in a heap and slept and slept and slept.

Today she is doing her best to keep me from studying - while atop her birthday afghan made by my Mom - Rivet just LOVES anything soft and pink.

New Toy!!!

Who says toddlers should have all the fun - here's Rivet's new "play tunnel" from IKEA

Nosy Doggie!!!!

Ok, so I cleaned out my car (I get a LOT of junk mail being a small business owner and keeper of 3 mailing addresses) and brought in a box that happened to have a catalog, a few pens, and a little plastic box in it. For some reason this drove Rivet NUTS. I had to take the box away from her since I needed it to ship some stuff out via Priority Mail.... I dump the whole thing out and it still isn't good enough - what a nosy little girl!

Busy Buddy... yummy yummy fun!

Typical Day.....

Just a typical day for Rivet:

I am spoiled, hear me roar! (I mean, watch me chew)

This is my favorite blanket, on my favorite corner of my favorite couch on top of my favorite pillow while chewing my favorite toy. In case you haven't guessed, my life is probably way better than yours. Observe:

Orange ball

With treats!!!!!

Short and super cute.... just like Rivet...

Rivet: I discovered that I can get under the couch!!!! WATCH!

Planter or Digging Box....

I had just finished putting dirt in this nice large round planter to grow some lettuces on the porch, my back was turned for just a few seconds when Rivet decided she had other plans for the "planter"

I moved! :)

So sorry I've slacked off on uploading new videos lately - but we just moved to a brand new place and I LOVE IT! My bestest friend Shirley lives in the building next door and there are dogs EVERYWHERE. I've made so many friends between here and trips to the dog park that I'm going to have to start writing them down! I'm even thinking of starting a microdog playgroup for little guys 10lbs and under like me.

Oh, and the new berber carpet- LOVE it - I can run even faster now!

... Look! I'm Cute!

So, apparently I did this "totally cute thing" last night when I stuck my head into Adrienne's water glass and drank while I was sitting on her lap - and she wanted me to do it for today's video. I had other plans though - like trying to lick the camera and rolling around on the floor. Oh well, you'll like this too!

As promised.... SUPER UPDATE!

Shirley and I had SO MUCH FUN on Saturday. We went to a Luau at Bone Jour. Played, met a bunch of other doggies, got our pictures taken - together and by ourselves (though I wasn't too sure about that emo guy putting his hand on my butt! Hands off, buster, I'm an Internet Celebrity!). One of the best parts was that Shirley's owner had made little flower bits for us to wear so that we looked extra special at the party. Here we are wearing them and on our way to Bone Jour:


Anyway... I'm a lucky girl because I ended up winning one of the raffle prizes - a birthday party set! Shirley thinks I should have my dog party at Sam Snead's because apparently they even have a dog menu! I'll have to check that out! Anyway, next month we'll all have dog party hats, round dog placemats, invites, and matching party favors!

Speaking of Shirley, after the party we still had some energy left for playing -


Look how I make Shirley howl!!!!!

Red scarf

After I kept pulling this out of the closet for the umpteenth time, Adrienne finally realized that she should give it to me - I like it and she never wears it, so ha! Besides, who knew you could have so much fun with a silly scarf?

Stairmaster!

Even though I haven't figured out how to go downstairs, I sure like going UPSTAIRS

Grrrrr!

I am Rivet! Hear me ROAR (erm, I mean kinda play growl). This is my way of telling you that I want to play - like NOW, no YESTERDAY. BTW, sorry about Wednesday, I was trying to get footage of my newest obsession (not telling you yet), but it didn't come out so well. Stay tuned for hopefully a special post about it this weekend.
