#WoofWednesday Preview: Still Working On "Roll Over", Camille In Regards To Treats & "Nasties", Etc..


  1. Camille has essentially confirmed especially two matters: her preferred "roll over" location and her "I want it now!" attitude toward treats before she even sits or lays down, let alone rolls over!
  2. With Camille, it's the "Camille or dentastick" approach as a reversal of "carrot and stick": try to, for example, protect her from getting her dentastick stolen by Reilly, face her wrath when she growls at you like she could snap at and/or bite you at any moment—despite that you're holding the dentastick to keep Reilly from getting it!
  3. Even "Mom-Mom" is not safe from Cam's bad-itude: just minutes ago, Cam got herself into huge trouble for growling at "Mom-Mom" for trying to take "a little piece of tar" from her—and "Auntie Nicole" thought that Camille was growling at her cousin for trying to take a treat!
  4. As for when "Mom-Mom" found some on-sale Halloween costumes while she was shopping for her "granddogters", Camille was having none of that, either—she went right into her crate to hide!—whereas Reilly tolerated the costumes and even, albe begrudgingly, allowed herself to be photographed and videographed in costume!

Halloween 2018 Card From Reilly and Camille

"Auntie Michelle" gave Reilly a very-undeserved dentastick, by the way!

#FluffyFriday & A Sort-Of #FlashbackFriday: A Pissed-Off Look Isn't For Only Night-Owl "Momma"





PS PS Please bear with the quality. YouTube's taking away of valuable "Enhancement" settings doesn't help.

So, A Little Late In the EST Time Zone. Still...

PS Reilly and Camille would like bosses to treat their employees fairly as well as donate to charities to help feed starving people, puppies, and kitties as well as other starving creatures. PPS Camille went "night-nights" before "Auntie Nicole" could take a picture of her specifically for the card, and she thus did not get a treat.

#ScarySunday: Not Even Reilly And "Mom-Mom" Are Safe From a UTI-Crankified Camille

To make a long story short for now:


  1. Camille's persistent need to "peedy" did turn out to be another UTI ☹.
  2. Since the vet's office was closed, Camille (and "Mom-Mom" and "Mimi") had to spend three hours in an ER for pets (and a significant chunk of those hours was waiting time as well as trying to get a urine sample from Camille.)
  3. She had to have an ultrasound to rule out any other issues—and at least she had only a UTI (as compared to, for example, a kidney stone).
  4. She was loved by all of the medical personal and received a lot of attention from them.
  5. When she came home and Reilly went to greet her as well as try to jealously get attention, she was not having any of it—she growled quite severely at Reilly and pawed her, and Reilly became afraid!
  6. She also growled a little at "Mom-Mom" when "Mom-Mom" went to take her "peedy" instead of having a cold-affected "Mimi" take her, although she conceded and let "Mom-Mom" take her.

#ThursdayThoughts: Photoshoots For Awareness (With A Haiku For #NationalPoetryDay)




For Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and a dentastick), Reilly (albe reluctantly) cooperated to wear a very-dark-pink ribbon to raise awareness (and yes, she was sleepy and yawned once).





For Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Week, which is from September 30th-October 6th (Reilly didn't like the "Flash" setting that "Momma" tested, by the way.).

(Besides, "Momma" was literally shaking even on the floor when she was laying down trying to try to pink and blue bow onto the pink and blue collar. You try kneeling in front of the couch and tying the bow for about an hour before having to lay down to try it after your arms and hands get tired because of Cerebral Palsy. You will shake, and anyone decent would encourage you to do that photoshoot with your puppy for whom you tied the bow. OCD/Anxiety does not help, by the way.).








For Mental Illness Awareness Week, which is October 7th-13th, since quite a few mental-illness-awareness ribbons either are orange or are partially orange.


PS For #NationalPoetryDay, an extend haiku:

Helping "Momma" raise
Awareness is the fluffball
That everyone knows
As the Reilly Rosalita
Who loves all people
And wants them to be healthy
As well as help those
Whom need a little more help
Than other people...
Even if only to have
As many people
Around as is possible
To give her scritches
And all of the belly rubs
In the whole wide world 😉
(Everyone knows that Reilly's
(Not really the kind
(To love people only for
(What they can give her)

Update: A Not-So-Belated-After-All "Belated" Card From Reilly

PS:
  1. L'Erev Shabbat Sukkot v'Shabbat Sukkot Haba'ah Same'ach u'Mevorakh—not to mention the last Shabbat in September! Take some coffee into your sukkah with you, especially if you live in an area in which the days and nights are getting colder.
  2. "Momma" has been doing quite a few belated cards lately, since she's been busy and tired (though coffee has helped keep her awake) for only-Yehovah-ultimately-knows-what reasons (although she knows that one reason is the changing weather, which has also affected Reilly). 
  3. This is the first time that "Momma" has used Powerpoint's Design Ideas suggestions, although it was close to her original idea, anyway, and she had to modify Powerpoint's suggestion a little bit (as Picture Two was supposed to be where Picture Three is, and she thus had to move the textboxes that she created around. That's one example why "Momma" hasn't used Powerpoint's Design Ideas suggestions in the past.) 
  4. ☕ "Momma" saw "National Coffee Day" trending on Twitter on the 27th. Then a tweet that Dukin' Donuts® just sent out came up in her Twitter timeline. (Whateverevery day is Belated National Coffee Day for "Momma", and Reilly can tell that and tolerate "Momma" partly for that reason 😉!).

A Belated Birthday Card To the USAF

Happy Belated 71st Birthday to the Air Force!
PS Excuse "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" for not  perfectly remembering the Air Force motto.

An Early Yom Kippur Card From Reilly and Camille

PS Since the sun has not set west of the EST Time Zone and some celebrate Shabbat until three stars appear in the sky, the card was technically not late 🙂.

A Very-Special Card From Reilly & Camille To...

PS Thank you for letting Reilly's "Momma"/Camille's "Auntie Nicole" for downloading and using your Product Sans for free! 

#TimeTravelTuesday: S-paw Day...and What "Momma" Missed

Overall:


  1. According to the groomer, "Reilly was a trooper" (as "Mom-Mom" and "Auntie Michelle" told "Momma").
  2. Camille, on the other hand, wasn't so much of a trooper—and the groomer joked that she hasn't fired Camille yet(! Cam's only job does entail being a good puppy, though at least she doesn't give only "Auntie Nicole", "Mimi", or "Mom-Mom" a hard time about grooming her legs!)
  3. Reilly sat on "Mom-Mom"'s lap on the drive home and even beeped the horn 🙂 (probably by accident)—and "Momma" didn't hear that ☹!

Labor Day Card From Reilly And Camille


Pawdicures, Pawsagges, and More Paw-ks For 3.5 hours At the S-paw

Plus, the paw-mpered pups came out looking (as if they didn't already look) cute and ready for their close ups (They just look a little more ready for their close ups now.).





Forgive "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" if she uploaded any photos more than once. As for more photos...




By the way, Camille could keep in the bow for most of the rest of the day. Reilly, on the other hand, had her bow begin to fall off more quickly.
