#131 - Brunchtime

King Ringo was kind enough to order brunch for all of us on Saturday. He enlisted mum and me to cook and demanded that he be seated first and have his choice of blueberry pancakes. Once finished, he fell asleep and left us to do the dishes.

Ill-mannered though he may be, King Ringo is such a regal old chap that we believe he is entitled to his royal behavior. We are glad to report that brunch was to his satisfaction and he rewarded us with approving little snorts and sneezes.

What's your favorite brunch treat?

#129 - Honey Bear

"Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."

-Winnie the Pooh-

Like Pooh Bear, James Dean enjoys his lazy moments lounging on chairs and napping, which is what inspired me to create the new Honey Bear Hat! I don't know how JD would fare in the wild, but with a belly full of honey I am sure that he would have very sweet dreams.

#127 - Prankster

April Fool's day is tomorrow. James Dean looks so innocent, but don't let that sweet face and handsome bow tie fool you! He is one mischievous little fellow - chasing the cats, sneaking cat snacks when no one is looking, and hiding toys so that he can watch in amusement as Ringo tears apart the house searching for his bear. What will the trickster do to fool us tomorrow? Alas... I have no clues! But I can be certain from the glint in his eye that he has a prank or two hidden somewhere behind those wrinkles.

JD wishes you all a wee bit o' luck this St. Patrick's Day!

#125 - Peak-A-Boo

When we adopted Ringo nearly two years ago, we couldn't be sure of exactly which breed or breeds he may be because he was an abandoned pooch without much background information available.

We were told that he is all pug, but looking at his features as well as watching some of his behaviors has told us that he is likely a mix between a pug and another breed or two.

While there are numerous tests available to find out his genetic makeup, we would rather not. You see, we just have too much fun imagining what he could be, and so finding out would take away a bit of his charming mysterious quality that he seems to embody.

 

But it is pretty clear from his photos in our new Peek-A-Boo Dog Hat with ear holes that he could be part Boston Terrier. His ears sometimes stand up on their own and will stay up if you just pick them up and hold them for a moment. They also readily fall and relax to look like the tiny floppy ears that pugs have. No matter what Ringo is, we know that he is the most adorable little mutt that we could ever have asked for.
