Happy Holidays with Bully Friends

We start this season's Bully Holiday Fest with Tyke & Pebbles!  How sweet are they??  Pebbles is all smiles, while Tyke is very serious.  Love it!! 

No doubt they have been good bullies this year because not every bully gets to see the guy in red!!!

Special thanks to their bullymomma Olivia for sending in their photo to share!!

The Holiday Season Has Started

And it starts with today!  My birthday!!  Woo hoo!  Thanks to all that sent in photos of bullies...and for those that haven't yet, there is still time!  Tomorrow I will start sharing the photos of our bulldog friends!!!

Apparently Mother Nature has had enough of me bashing winter & REALLY let us have it today.  I bet we got close to 20 INCHES of new snow today!!  OMG it's awful.  Thankfully I didn't have anywhere to go (but wanted to get a mani/pedi for my bday) so I was able to stay inside most of the day.

Steve had it the worst with clearing the snow from the driveway....

and the steps....

and the deck...

and the roof...(no photos available...but it looked like a whiteout).

The bullies had to plow too!  They plowed their way through the back yard....

Can you see Doc near the picnic table??

At one point, I did LOSE Vivi in the snow!  Hahahahaha!

This bulldog didn't have to worry about the snow though!  Check out how cute he is!! 

He's a gift from my mother-in-law.  He's a bully bank from Pottery Barn!  Sooooo cute!!  I had a great birthday!  Steve upgraded my beloved Betty (iPhone) & now have the iPhone 4...it's so awesome!  BTW...almost all the photos on this blog are taken w/Betty!  AMAZING!!  Tomorrow MY momma is making us spaghetti dinner (YUMMM)!!  Over all a great bday weekend I must say!!

My friend Mary gave me a great gift too...she blogged about my birthday & my love of dates!!  Did anyone else notice today was 12/11/10????  Thanks Mary!!

Happy Birfday Momma!!

O' (no) Christmas Tree, O' (no) Christmas Tree

This week we have a new addition to the Blue Line house....a Christmas tree.  For five years I didn't put one up for one reason or another.

2005--Ollie's first Christmas....hmmm...let's not test it.
2006--Ollie's second Christmas...it was so easy last year.
2007--Howie's first Christmas...he's just a puppy...plus we have that new sectional...where would we put the tree??
2008--Going to Disney World for 10 days...let's not put it up.
2009--3 bullies & a tree..it's just so much easier NOT to put it up.

It's not that I don't love Christmas or the decorations or even putting up the tree.  It's the taking it down that is such a pain & quite honestly, it's so refreshing NOT to have to worry about making time to take it down.  And our tree is HUGE, it's a beautiful, huge artificial tree that I love, and really with the way the living room is set up, I have no where to put it.  I know, I know, bah humbug right?

Well this year I apparently wanted the gasps of "you didn't put up a treee?!" comments to stop.  So I went to my beloved Target & got a "skinny" tree!  He'll fit in the living room!  He came in 3 pieces & best of all, he's up!

What's funny/sad...is that I moved the living room furniture all around to get this "skinny" tree in & I could have put the HUGE tree up in that same space....had I just thought about moving the furniture...duh Jenny.  Oh well, I figured it out now & Skinny Tree is up & decorated!  Didn't happen without some help though!

Doc & Howie checking out the Skinny Tree

Vivi just sitting back, taking in the huge mess of a living room I made...

Howie checking out the ornaments

Doc too...

"Momma...you REALLY are making a mess...."

But look!  Skinny Tree is done & beautiful...and the kitties are the ones who won't leave it alone!  LOL

It's the Season of Giving!!

Giving me your favorite holiday photos of your bullies that is!!  Last year I asked for photos of my bully friends being festive!  This year is no different!  So come one, come all!  Send me your holiday/winter photos of your bullies & I will be using them in the upcoming days to celebrate the holidays!

Send as many as you'd like!  I love getting bully photos!!  Remember to include your bully's name!

Here is one of Howie to get you all in the giving spirit!!

Oh the wheels....they are a turnin'!!

So the pumpkin pie is almost gone, Black Friday sales are over (how did you all make out??) & another snow storm is coming---great...but really what does all this mean??!!

Christmas cards people!  Christmas cards!!!  I have an idea...and I even have an accomplice in this task this year (you know who you are), I just hope I can pull it off!  Last year's was pretty dang cute...ifIdosaysomyself...so I have some high expectations of myself (not sure anyone else even cares).

So hopefully I will have it all taken care of early enough that I don't have to pay to RUSH the cards to me this time....only time will tell.  I'm at least keeping up on my photo taking....look at these crazy action shots taken tonight!

Phew!!  Glad I had the camera set to "sports"!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybully!!

From our turkey legs, to yours....

We wish you all a very happy & safe Thanksgiving!

Doc is thankful for licks

Howie is thankful for naps

Vivi is thankful for toys

I'm thankful for all the giggles these bullies have given me.  Of course, I'm most thankful to the one that started it all!  I wouldn't be doing any of this if it were not for Ollie!

Gift Idea

Ok, this is too funny not to post!  There are many of us who know some dog people that may get a kick out of this so I thought I'd pass it along!!

Hahaha!  It's Strawberry Scented Poo-Poo Soap!  Hahahahaha!!  Omg I totally laughed out loud when I saw this!!  You gotta love the internet!  I mean, where else can buy gag gifts like this?? 

I bet you're all wondering if I bought it or not right??  Well, I guess time will tell....the holiday season is right around the corner!!!
