Yesterday I was busy keeping the laundry in the basket.

Today I am a pillow for my brother Jasper.

I promise you have never seen a doggies get more excited to put on clothes than mine do!! The hearts of angels who live to love people. They have been my blessing in disguise.

While Buttercup spends her day at the doggie beauty spa, I spent the day getting ready for the Henrico Humane Society Pet Expo.

I filled 500 samples of our Herbal Shampoo to give out to all of the doggies at the Pet Expo.  (Below are some photos of the sample making process)

Come by Doggie Sage’s Booth to get your free Herbal Shampoo sample made with soothing extracts and neem oil.  We will also be handing out yummy dog treats from Whole Foods Market.

Don’t forget to swing by other great Dog lovers booth such as Caring Canines, Fido Park Avenue, FETCH, and more.

I am looking forward to the agility demo with the Dogs from All Dog Adventures.  As well as the obedience demo from Dog Lovers Obedience School.  Both places Buttercup has attended.  She graduated from puppy school from Dog Lovers.  And Eva has done all her training with the wonderful people over at All Dog.  Both schools are great places to train your dog.

These picture were taken 5 years ago during Eva’s first snow fall. It is of Eva, our Australian Shepherd when she was a puppy and Oliver, our Pointer Mix, when he was a year and half. I love these pictures so much because it reveals their distinctive personality–  Oliver, the protector, and Eva with her strong drive.  A wonderful game of play they were having.  Oliver being the gentle big brother and Eva being the Aussie.

This picture of Eva with the toy in her mouth is my favorite puppy picture of her.

Eva loves to play tug and keep away. Oliver played with her only because she liked to play that game and he was a nice big brother. His favorite game was just the sheer fun of running.  I love to watch Dogs play in the Snow.

Yup, I spend Sunday hard at work doing taxes and organized paper work.  What do you expect from a CEO (Canine Executive Officer).  My human kept asking me if I thought I was a cat?  And then she would mumble something about how cats always like to sit on paper.  I think she meant chew on paper, why would you want to sit on paper unless you were guarding it chew on?

There was a lot of work to do, but I think in the end, my human enjoyed my help.  She even gave me a piece of paper to tear up!  I normally have to steal paper!

If you are interested, she has a post on getting organized over on her Jackson Sage blog.  Check it out.

If your house is anything like mine, we animals LOVE to be on the sofa.  Sheets or other covers are great but they tend to slip off, plus they don’t cover the sides where the cats like to claw.

Ok, first off, my human can sew but doesn’t which means anything to protect the furniture must be a no sewing project.  And while I am great at blogging my four paws are not the best when it comes to threading a needle.

I have found that a easy and great way to cover a sofa is to use a queen size fitted sheet.  It covers the arms and stays in place.  Which is very important since my sister Eva, loves to dig and spin before she settles into place.

Also, it is easy to remove and put back on, so when other Humans stop over, you can remove it and your sofa will be waiting fur free for them to sit on.  You can pick a color close to your sofa or live boldly and pick something completely different.

As you can see I am is hard at work guarding her house.  I am usually joined by Pumpkin, our very large orange cat.
