Danbury

Danbury was fun! Mommy got to say hello to all the people she knew and it was so nice to see them all again as well as all the beautiful doggies. Mommy forgot the her checkbook though so Ellie didn't get chipped so next show she will be. Surprisingly there were no vendors at all at the show so even though Mommy and Daddy didn't have money on them it didn't really matter since no one was selling anything. Next show is in NJ so Mommy will go all three days and have a better idea of whats going on since coming mid-way in is always a bit confusing. After Danbury we went to visit Mommy's old roommate from college since she lived so close to the show. Though Mommy's roommate's doggy didn't like Ellie a nice time was had nevertheless.

Mommy didn't take pictures at the show as she wasn't sure if anyone would be upset here are a few from the day.

We're off to Danbury!



Comfy lap


The shot of the day. The person leaning out of the shot is Mommy's silly roommate =P

Ahoy Matey

First of Ellie would like to thank everyone who complimented her blog. She is so pleased you all enjoy it and will continue to strive to amuse the masses...and failing that she promise oodles and oodles more pictures as everyone loves pictures afterall!

So this year since Pirates splashes back on the scene the nautical look is definitly back in. Now Mommy has always loved stripes and the sailor motif with the white collars and anchor prints but has yet to find a piece that she likes for herself but yesterday while browsing around on Cavalier Talk and reading about another Cavalier mommy rave about a new harness set she wandered over to Trixie and Peanut to take a look. Well imagine Mommy's delight when she not only saw the cute harnesses the other mommy was raving about, seen here, but she saw that the same company had made a darling sailor version of the harness!

Now that's simply adorable and a great price considering it comes with the leash as well. Mommy also found this adorable shirt to go with it from the same place!

And then Mommy spotted this
and tried very very hard to convince Daddy that he needed it for his classes. After all kids learn the best with visuals right? Sadly Daddy informed Mommy that since he taught math that this wouldn't exactly be needed for his lessons. Then Mommy thought it would be a fabulous prop for the fur kids to use in their reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware which sparked a debate on which way Washington was actually sailing. As it turns out though Mommy is a fan of history American history is not her strong point after all (give me a Tudor king any day over a Revolutionist)

Well the kids can dream I guess since Daddy sad no to the boat.

Cavalier Get Together

The Cavalier get together was fabulous! Ellie had an amazing time. I have never seen her really play with other dogs as she never seemed to have an interest in them when we went to school but today she seemed right at home romping and running around with the bunch. I have never seen her having so much fun! She also ate an army's worth of treats. She was clever enough to figure out to stick her face in the entire treat bags at the doggy appetizer table! Yes there was a doggy appetizer table. They did an amazing amazing job. There were games, door prizes, birthday cake for the 3 pups celebrating birthdays, goodie bags, and tons of food for both dogs and humans. I can't wait for the next get together! Sadly my camera battery had the audacity to die on me mid-party so I dont have a lot of pictures but I saw tons of other mommy and daddy's snapping away with the cameras and video tape so I hope they got some good pictures. I am dying to see them. Here are the few pics I did manage to get

Here Ellie is honing in on Razz's treat while Lucky, Spike, and Arturo look on


It seemed like a tri party!


Here Ellie is telling Spike to back off again. He seemed to remember Ellie from when we visited Molly a while back and developed a little crush as he followed her around the entire time much to Ellie's dismay at times I think. At one point Paul and I went to eat and we took Ellie with us. As we sat at the other side of the fence with Ellie Spike sat at the other side of the fence staring at Ellie longingly. It was adorable though I think Ellie was happy to get a break from him


Ellie begging for treats again from Sadie's Daddy. Looks like Casey wants in on some treats too


Little Arturo! I finally got to meet Angie and her husband Rob after tons of emails and phone calls back and forth. Arturo is a darling little boy.


There's my happy girl. Notice Spike to the left. Wherever she was there he was too. They have matching his and her Puppia's to boot!

And here is lovable Casey with Ellie on the side


And lastly Ellie with Daddy


Ellie has so much fun running around that she managed to get the entire park on her. She even came home with a lovely dark black smudge on her muzzle


So needless to say it was bath time when we came home

Look at that smudge on her muzzle




After a bath its time for a snuggle on the bed while we air dry



And lastly our dear friend bought Ellie a new Puppia and gave it to us at the get together. She is way to kind and we are so thankful. Here is Ellie modeling her new Tinkerbelle Puppia. Soon her harness collection will be larger then Mommy's bag collection





All in all it was a wonderful treat filled weekend for Miss Ellie Belli. She is currently passed out on her goodie bag toy snoring away!

Next week its off to Danbury for the CKCSC show!!!

Puppia

Ellie's Puppia is in! Daddy isnt a fan but Mommy loves it. Along with her Puppia Ellie got 2 new toys. Mommy had ordered her a toy that was shaped like a caterpillar and its body was made of tennis balls. Well imagine Mommy's surprise when she opened the package and saw this instead

The caterpillar had morphed into a butterfly during shipping it seems! Needless to say the butterfly is cuter then the caterpillar so no one is complaining least of all Ellie

And Mommy got some lovely shots of Ellie sporting her lovely new Spring Puppia.






And Mommy's favorite picture of course is blurry.

Our neighbor saw her today when we were out for a walk and he said that Ellie looks like she is wearing a bikini! I dont think so but it was an amusing after thought.

Anyways off to the Cavalier Get Together!

Ellie Updates

First off Ellie's Puppia is on the way! YAY! I ordered her a Dotty Puppia a while ago but the store told me that Puppia was being delayed on their Spring line. I got confirmation yesterday that the Puppia's had finally arrived! YAY!! Ellie is going to look so cute!

This weekend is the first NJ/NY/PA/CT Cavalier Get Together in Wallington Park so it's going to be a fun weekend for Ellie. She can see all her old friends and met some new ones too. We are crossing our fingers her Puppia will be in so she can show off to all her friends!

In other news Ellie has discovered a new spot of hers, under Mommy and Daddy's bed. Whenever Mommy can't find Ellie she just lifts up the bed skirt and calls Ellie name and out Ellie comes crawling commando style on her belli. Mommy has no idea what Ellie does under there and has tried peaking quitely several times trying to see but as soon as Ellie catches on Mommy is there she crawls right out. It's like she doesn't want anyone to know what she does under there. Mommy and Daddy have both tried to peak in on her with no success but as far as we can tell she isn't doing anything wrong under there so I guess its ok. It's Ellie's secret hide out.

And lastly since Ellie has managed to destroy 11 stuffed toys in the span of 4 months Mommy has been forced to look for non-stuffed toys for her. Ellie seems to miss her stuffed toys a lot but she destroys them so quickly and ingests some of the stuffing and toys so its time for something new, for now at least. Mommy has been looking at these treat dispensers as they seem sturdy and treats will definitly hold Ellie's attention for a while



Personally I am leaning toward the tug a jug, which is the last one, as it comes highly recommended from several other Cavalier moms and the plastic is suppose to be very sturdy. Plus it seems the most complicated so Ellie might have to really take her time to figure it out.

Tagged Again

Loki tagged us!

Rules: List 7 things that you never mention in your blog and then tag another 7 victims


1) Ellie suffers from allergies just like her mommy. She eats a Benadryl pill (wrapped in cheese of course!) every night to help her get through the night (in other words if Ellie doesn't eat her Benadryl she scratches all night keeping Mommy awake and driving her crazy)

2) Ellie loves Mommy's things more then Daddy. If Mommy and Daddy both leave socks laying around on the floor Ellie will always take Mommy's to chew, never Daddys.

3) Ellie has several neighborhood boyfriends who love her including Rocky the Corgi, Magnus the Puggle, Buddy the Golden Retriever, and Atlas the Rotweiler.

4) Today Ellie's brother Griffin escaped the house without Mommy and Daddy knowing. When Mommy and Daddy took Ellie out for a walk she made a beeline for the bushes where Griffin was hiding and thus saved Griffin as Mommy peaked under the bush to see what Ellie was sniffing and saw Griffin! Ellie was the heroine of the day for that!

5) Mommy's lotion is irresistible to Ellie and she will chase Mommy around the house trying to lick it off her legs.

6) Ellie hangs out in the bathroom in the morning when Mommy get's ready. She curls up on the bath mat and waits for Mommy to finish.

7) Ellie can hear the ice maker from anywhere in the house and even when fast asleep. If she is not given an ice cube after she hears the machine turn on she sits in front of the machine staring at it until an ice cube is given to her.
