I am happy and proud to announce that my Red Carpet outfit tied with Samantha for first place in the category of Best Female Real outfit! Check out all of the winners at the Red Carpet Buzz blog. Thank you ever so much for this wonderful honor. I think this proves that fancy faux pearls can make an outfit a winner!
My Mommie tried to make me wear this cap with my coat. I think you can tell I am a little bit mad about this, because it does not look right together. The cap is much more sporty, and I am going for old-fashioned glamour.
After my photo shoot, I wanted to go out in my beautiful coat so I could show it off. My Mommie said No. So I am all dressed up with nowhere to go...
I feel like an old-fashioned movie star when I wear my glamorous coat. This got me to thinking, I would love to star in a movie like Catsablanca. Except of course Skeezix is my true leading man.
Here I am outside in my Puppia harness and leash. I got to see many fun things!
Can you spot the lizard? Many times they try to hide. But I have good lizard vision.
It is also important to scan the skies carefully.
I got to see this big bird! I think he might be a blue heron. But I am not sure.
Then, I saw a BLIMP! I never saw one of those before.
Next, I went to the edge of the water. I did not stay there very long, because alligators could eat me all up.
Finally, I got my dream come true: I climbed a real tree! Well, I did not really climb it. My Mommie put me in the tree and I hung on tightly.
Thank you for voting to allow me this wonderful adventure!
My coat is not very thick, and my curly furs do not really shed. But I still enjoy being brushed. Brushing feels good! Sometimes, it is a little bit dangerous for my Mommie to brush me, on account of my sharp clawrs. Turn up the volume, because my clawrs make some funny sound effects!
To be continued...
Here is what I learned about these wood carvings:In a great variety of subjects and sizes, the painted wood figures are carved from copal wood using the natural shape to inspire the sculptural form. If representing snakes or animals with tails, for instance, the tail takes the winding form of the tree branch. Copal wood is easy to carve while green. An uncomplicated piece such as an armadillo 10 inches long, takes about three days to carve. After drying in the sun for another three days it becomes light weight and hard. A sealer is applied to protect it from insects. Men do the carving, and the women paint, everybody working up to 15 hour days. The prosperity of many of the artisans is an amazing turnaround in villages where 15 years ago many were wondering how to make a living.
Here my lizard is trying to show off his intricate patterns. My back has patterns too, but they are not intricate. Maybe because my patterns are not painted on.
Lizard, I will be your friend. Since you are made of wood and I cannot eat you.
Look at me! I got all shrunken! I can do funny optical illusions with this dress.
Hahahahahaha! I cannot stop laughing at my Shrunken-Daisy trick!
Okay, I had better go now. See you at the Polka! Hahahahahaha! This modeling business is much more fun than I realized.
This is a very fun Meme, and you can find all the rules on Mimi's blog :
They are swimming all around. I hope they get very clean.
Why are they taking so long? This is getting boring. I think it is time to end the bath.
Wheee! It's like a water slide! Hahahahaha!
Now my beans are all wet. I had a great idea! But my Mommie reminded me that I am Not Allowed to work anything that has electricity. I guess my Beans will have to dry naturally. I hope my Beans do not catch a mold. Hahahahaha!
I am very proud and honored to have received some new awards. First, Pixie is excited to announce that she won Best "Other" Valentine in Monty Q's Who Do You Love contest. If you click on Pixie's photo below, it will take you to her entry. She made a Valentine to bananers!
Next, I am surprised and happy to accept the award for Most Popular and Best singer in Skeezix's Valentine's Day contest. If you click on the award, you can see my entry. I sang a song to Skeezix. If you look very, very closely, you might be able to tell I was lip-synching. 
And finally, I am proud to announce that my Lizard Soup comic was awarded the Rising Blogger Post of the Day! If you click on the award, you can read the very nice and wonderful review written by Mimi. 
I tried scratching and scratching on the doors, but they still did not open.
Next, I peeked under the door...
... and then stuck my arm through.
There is something on the other side of the doors that I really want. Can you guess what it is?
I guess I should have used noodles instead of vegetables for my soup. Because every pool has a Noodle toy.
