Powdered Nose

I was helping Mommy bake cookies, and I somehow managed to get flour all over my face and nose.

Souvenirs

My parents went to Jamaica and all I got was this lousy bandana.

Mindy got one too. How precious do we look in our matching clothes?

Tailgate Party

I went to the kennel with Mindy last weekend. When our people came to pick us up, we were stinky and dirty, but still adorable. Our doggy cuteness was so great, that we had to pose for pictures in Mommy's car before we could get out.

My First Easter

I celebrated my very first Easter with Mommy and Daddy this year by going to the Richmond Easter Parade with my grandparents and Uncle Andrew. Dogs wore funny hats and clothes, so I wore my favorite Jester attire. I didn't win the pet Easter bonnet contest, but I was a crowd favorite because I showed more personality on stage than any other dog.

What kind of devilish creature makes such a noise?

Westminster

It is with great pride that I announce to my faithful readers, that I, Champion Baldwin-Ross's Brodie MacBroderson von Brodenstein de Brodeaux, was crowned winner of the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.


Okay, so I didn't win the show, but I am extremely proud of my brother Uno, who became the first beagle in Westminster history to be named Best in Show. This was a huge win considering that a beagle hadn't even won the hound group since 1939. I would also like to add that if I had papers and proper dog man parts, I'm pretty sure I could have won. Although, I would have to compete under a new breed listing, that of Giant Beagle, since I have about 20 pounds and 12 inches on Uno.

I heard reports from my grandparents that my best bud Mindy was cheering on Uno the beagle from her perch on Uncle Andrew's lap. Apparently the only dog she paid attention to during the whole competition was Uno. I'm pretty sure she thought it was me on TV.


I usually try to keep my political opinions to myself, but I would like to close by saying that if anyone out there has caught beagle fever and would like to get one of their own, you should look to your nearest animal shelter. For some reason, beagles are frequent residents of animal shelters even though we make wonderful pets. I was once a shelter dog myself, and I think I have done quite well for leaving my wilderness dog days behind and fully embracing the life of a family pet.

Brodie v. Kitties on TV

So I was watching Animal Cops with Mommy, and there were some kittens on it making a lot of strange and curious noises.
