Seven Years Ago...

Last week my human and I were flipping through an old photo album, when we came across some pictures of a puppy... I thought, "Who is that silly puppy in these photos?".  And when my human started ooohing and awwwing about how cute "Sparky" was, I thought, "Sparky?  Puppy?  OMDog, there's a connection here!".   This puppy in the photo album is me!  Over 7 years ago... I'm not really that old already, am I?

My fur used to be darker brown, almost black, and I had more white on my chest back then...

Even at just a few weeks old, I was a sucker for belly rubs.  And I still am.  This is a photo of my human Lizzy, at about 8 or 9 years old, giving me a belly rub.  Rascal and White Cat are also in this picture. (Oh, and speaking of White Cat, his limp is mostly gone now, he seems to be doing much better.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers everyone!)

And this is a photo of me being held by my big human brother, and my little human sister on the left and my human Lizzy on the right, and my little human brother below.

 This is what I looked like just before my first haircut!

My humans used to call me a mop!  

 And yes... I loved any kind of ball toy back then... And I still do now.

And the last picture... Just after my first haircut...  I was nearly fully grown.  Rascal had just had kittens, and I often enjoyed sun-bathing with them.

There we go, that's all the puppy pictures of myself that I can find!  I hope you all enjoyed looking at them.

Thank you everyone for visiting my new friend Cookie's blog...  But now I have one more request to make...  I have another new blogging pal, her name is Dinah.  But... She's not a dog...  She's a cat!  I know, you're all probably in shock from this post.  After all, I am a cat-hater and yet I've posted pictures of me with cats and now I'm telling you all to go visit Dinah the cat...  But, sometimes I like to show my compationate side...  So for today, I'm going to like cats.  So everyone, go visit Dinah and welcome her to the blogging world!  

I hope you're all having a GRRRReat day!

Updates!

Hello everydog, I would like to bark a big THANK YOU to you all for supporting me during the auction of my painting.  I honestly didn't believe the painting would sell for more than $20, and my human Lizzy was shocked out of her seat when she saw the price went up to $100 USD ($128 Canadian).  And the winning bidders:  Toffee and Riley!  Congratulations my friends!  We've sent the painting off, you should recieve it any day now!  The very first Sparky Barky abstact original!  And tonight we are going to donate all the money, every single cent, 100%, to the RSPCA in Victoria to help the animals affected by the Australian bushfires.  Thanks again to everyone for helping us make this happen!

Also, I'd just like to add a reminder that whenever someone clicks on the google adds in the sidebar to the right, we recieve a few cents, and these cents add up to dollars and every dollar that we recieve will be donated to help more of our animal friends, whether it means sending money to help more of the Aussie animals, giving to our local dog shelters, or any other way that we might be able to help the less fortunate animals around the world.

And now...

I would like you all to meet Cookie.  She just made her own blog which you can find here.  She's a real cutie, and she looks sort of like me!  I encourage you all to go over and bark hello and welcome her to the Dogs with Blogs community!

I know I haven't posted very much lately about what I myself have been up to over the past couple of weeks...  Well, I've been busy herding the cats, training my humans, doing agility, getting a haircut, and sneaking cake from the table...  Speaking of cake, my human Lizzy just had her 16th birthday.  Now that my human blog typist and photographer is old enough to drive, do you think she could take me to the beach every day?  It's only about an hour's drive away...

Sorry this post is shorter, but I have to run now.  In my next blog post I'll be sharing my puppy pictures taken over 7 years ago!  So my friends, prepare yourself for a cuteness overload next time you drop by my blog.

I hope you all have a grrrrEAT week!  I'll leave you with a photo of myself, taken today outside... I was waiting for my human Lizzy to open the gate so I could eat the new spring flower she was holding in her hand while she took the picture.  I think flowers taste delicious.
