Mom & Manda got to see up close and personal....the first photo shoot for the KREWE!!

Day 57

Tomorrow is my xray, the day it all comes to light and answers the question we've all been asking..."What's going on in that belly?"!!! Miss Amanda is in town (WHOOHOOO) and she and mom are going to take me to Dr. W tomorrow to get our first glimpse of the KREWE!

Today I received a lovely baby shower gift box from REEEEMMMMYYYY!!! He sent me and the KREWE a lovely jam packed boxy of TOYS!!! I know they are supposed to be for the kids, but I had to steal one and give it a good WEEEEEEEEEKY.

Thank you Miss Beth and Remy for the goodies!!! We love baby shower gifts!!

Probing!

Mom has started charting the temperature of the oven the KREWE are brewing. I told her it's preheated and kept at the prime temperature for excellent growth, but she ain't buyin' it. So twice a day, I get the probe! Mom says when I start to drop, it means the babies are coming. DROP??!!?! Have you SEEN my belly lately.

Done dropped.

Can you guess which one is me?

This is dedicated to the one I love!

So while I have been home growing little buggers in my belly, Remy was out falootin' at the show in Atlanta this weekend with his son (by another mother), Kyou. I have to give them props though, Kyou earned a new title, his Rally Excellent..

And Remy won Best of Breed on Saturday....and dedicated his win to MOI!!

I gladly accept!

MUAH Remy!

29 and 1/2

Not my age, my height (that would make me WAY big for a Vizsla), or my IQ. Mom saw that I was feeling a little down because I hear Windy and Bela scoffing at my belly, making remarks about my size, then mom and I went walking around our neighborhood yesterday and some boys (and I stress BOYS) started laughing as mom and I walked by saying "that dog needs a lot more than walking to get the fat off".

Guess they are the ones with the 29 and 1/2 IQ...genuises can't see the difference between FAT and PREGGERS! Guess they missed my big...well.....buttons on my belly too! DUH!

So mom took my waist measurement tonight and told me I should be very proud of my 29 and 1/2 inch girth as I am just a few inches shy of most fashion models' waistlines. Mom measured her waistline too, just to make me happy and she and I could almost be TWINS! I guess that's why she lets me borrow some of her Tshirts when I am weaning my babies.

I'm feeling a little better. Mom and I are relaxin' in our chair, she even put on her "fat pants" to make me feel better.

That's what mom's are for and as a good mom I'd like to give a shout out to my daughter Poo, who ran in her first Gun Dog stake today and while she still has much to learn, word from the mouth of Mr. Jamie is that he was quite proud of her and what took her out of the game was what took many others out of the game. But she kept strong, and ran long...2 finds, great birdwork, nice backing....what more could you ask for the first day out?!?!!?

Go Poo! We wuff you and we miss you! I bet her waistline is like Kate Moss.

Day 51

Well, it's getting harder to get around now. To keep me feeling like an olympic medalist, mom has been so kind to take the ottoman from my favorite chair upstairs and put it at the foot of the bed so I can have a springboard to the luxury of the bed. I fall asleep in my "bat" pose quite often and mom has started whispering to my belly.....umm..okay.

So here's me, Day 51. The KREWE is movin back towards the light...."GO INTO THE LIGHT"..."Please for the love of GOD, go into the Light!!!"

They're almost here!!

I'm a Bat!

Upside down with a smile! Showin' my 'fangs', gettin ready for Halloween a little early.
The monsters are growing!!!

Day 46: It's just me and my collar-kini...eat yer heart out!

Just so ya know..

My name is Thyme.

T-H-Y-M-E!!

I have various nicknames but none of which are:

BubbleButt
Thyme the Tank
Blimpo
Chunky Monkey (although it IS good ice cream)
Chubbs
Tubbo, or anything that rhymes with Tubbo

I take offense when I get compared to a surgical glove that has been blown up to create a balloon with appendages.

I will not wear a white t-shirt with Goodyear written on the side.

Remember,

My bladder is smooshed
My gas is lethal
I just might get reflux

So as Cartman would say...."Respect My Authority"!

KREWE Kontest!!!

Mom & Miss Manda thought it would be a great idea to poke fun at my belly and make a contest out of it. Actually I think it could be kinda fun and it's another excuse for me and mom to go SHOPPING!!!

So enter the contest....and take a poke at my Pinata belly!...HEY make that take a SCRATCH on my Pinata Belly!!

Happy Burfday!

Today my BooDaddy kids turn 2! Chase, Keller, Butters, Tily, Bella, Cash, Gus, and our very own Windy. Two years ago today I brought these little 'berries into the world and while at times I feel I could take Windy OUT of this world, our home would not be the same without her. Let's just hope the mold was broke when Windy was born, cause her antics sure do keep us on our toes..spider bites, running away, being swept down a river (thank goodness mom can swim pretty good).

Happy Burfday Windy & my other BooBerries...make your 'hu'mamas take you shopping!!!

Taste Testin'

This morning mom was up real early, well early for US and got to work in the garden. Clipping, washing, pulling... Then she was busy busy in the kitchen and the smells....MMMMMMM, basil, garlic, and every cooker's BFF...EVOO!!! Then with a flip of a switch....yummy green goodness..

HOMEADE BASIL PESTO!!! I got to be the taste tester....Excellente (I think I'm Ameri-Hungari-Italiano!).

For our next dish....Couscous with Tomatoes and Okra...now that's down home cookin'!!!

Who knew our garden had so much YUMMY things. No wonder mom got after Bela when he would try to write his name on the plants.

A Thyme to Reflect

Mom took me and Windy out for a swim today and she took these great photos of me (and Windy) and our reflections in the water.

At first I was just goofin' off with my stick!

Then I was just goofin' off...pbbbbtttt!!!

Then mom caught a small smile and my reflection!!!

It was really hard floatin' with my belly!

Mom put Windy's best photo on our website since she's not allowed to blog, she's got a potty mouth!!

Day 37

Bringing a whole new meaning to the words "six pack".

Count another two in for Team Pink!

My daughter Arwen and Mrs. Lyn sent me a great card today for my "Expectation" and you can tell from the card, that they are members of "Team Pink" just like my mom and Ms. Amanda, and I am the President.

Mom used to dance ballet so she got a kick out of the card too but I told her I wasn't wearing those legwarmer things and she can forget about toe shoes too. People make fun of dogs in getup like that and if my legs get cold, I just get under the covers.

Fat Tuesday

Ok..so it's not the REEEALL Fat Tuesday, but today is MY Fat Tuesday.


Actually it's My Big Fat & Bitchy Tuesday.


I'm hormonal.

All I want is to be cuddled...and fed. Windy irritates me shoving her toys in my face and Bela irritates me, always try to sniff my...well....tail.


So no photos tonight.

And don't you dare try to snuggle with my mom...she's MINE!

The Baby Daddy

Mom thought I should introduce my readers to the baby daddy of my KREWEbabies. So here are a few snazzy photos of Remy...ain't he a LOOKER!

I wuff him because he's a gentleman and courts me like a lady should be courted. He would sing to me and dance (although he was a little goofy on the dance floor) and gave me sweet kisses.

And did I say he's got talent? Well shut my mouth, he is UBER-talented. He's got

looks...obviously, but he's got smarts too..and good good sense about those birdies.

He's formally known as

CH Valley Hunter's Big Easy JH CDX RE VC

and Easy he is...LOL!!

See what I mean, he's a gentleman. He got all laced up in jewelery for me and showed he was willing to spend a little for the girl he loves....ME!

So when he brought out those beads.....well...

...I DID!!!.....

...obviously..that's how he

became the BABY DADDY!!

I had a dream...

..that I was eating a giant strawberry!!! When I woke up......somebody pinch me....

I'm still dreaming.....

...could it be hormones? YIKES!

Stressing the importance of good nutrition!

This is me...Day 30! Just about 1/2 way through. Mom and I went shopping today and while she was collecting holistic food and organic this and that...I had my eyes feasting on the TREAT SECTION...virtual junk food for dogs!!!! The pasturized-processed, preservative packed deliciousness....McDonald's for dogs!!

YUMMY!

Mom opted for the Blue Buff Peanut Butter treats...I can do peanut butter!! She also threw in a giant sized box of dried chicken strips...now THAT'S my girl!! At the checkout I could not contain myself...IMPULSE BUY! When she wasn't looking I yanked that Minty Mailman right off the shelf and crunched it good before mom could say "no"...HAHAHAHAHA!

Take that! Pregger-girl = 1 Mom = 0
