Wilma is a Mets Fan

My friend Virginia loves bulldogs.  In fact, she currently has two Olivia and Jag, and was in heaven when she met Wilma.  Actually, I think Wilma was the one who was in heaven.  She loves it when people pay attention to her.  In fact, she thinks that people come to the house to see her and only her.  She really is a diva.

This week Virginia stopped by with a gift for Wilma - her very own Mets doggy sweater.

Virginia and Wilma

I think Wilma was meant for the runway!

Sitting pretty.

All worn out from trying on her new outfit.

Awww - she even got a ruffly collar.

So there you have it.  We can hardly wait for the cold weather so Wilma can wear her new sweater outdoors.  She just loves her new friend.  What's not to like?  Thanks Virginia!

 

Snuggly Girl

It's nap time for Wilma. In fact, it's always nap time for Wilma. And a nap just isn't a nap unless she has a snuggly toy.

She was sound asleep until I turned on the camera and it beeped.

I'm not sure she's too pleased to be disturbed from her slumber.

"Now that you're done taking pictures for the blog, may I please go back to sleep?"

Wilma on Skype

You know, I think Wilma does some pretty amazing things, but last night she impressed even me.  Why you ask?  Because this dog was on Skype!

Grandma called to talk to Secundogeniture and Wilma got in on the action.  Although she didn't say much, Wilma stole the show!

Wilma on Wednesday - Eating and Sleeping

There are two things that Wilma does really well - 

Eating

and Sleeping.

It's important to know what your talents are!  Good girl.

 

 

Wilma on Wednesday - The Girly Girl Glare

Some people think that animals don't have emotions or feelings. When I look at Wilma's face, I'm certain they are 100% wrong!

This is the glare she gives me whenever she sits on BF's lap.  If looks could kill...

Just Crusin'

It's been a very busy summer and I'm sorry to have been so silent.  I'll try to post a bit in the next few days.  In the meantime, here's a picture of Wilma cruisin' in the Mini.

Hope you're having a great holiday week.  Happy summer to all!

Wilma on Wednesday - Looking Good Girl!

This is one of my favorite Wilma poses.  I thought you might enjoy it, too.

The way she sits just cracks me up.  It doesn't look comfortable at all, but she loves to sit this way.  Awww Girly Girl.  You make me smile.

Second Verse, Same as the First

Well, Wilma is hard at work again.  She had to pick the winner of the Charlene Schurch and Beth Parrott's  The Sock Knitter's Handbook.

But she was much more interested in her nap than picking out winners.

So while she slept, I printed out all the comments/contestants, cut them, crumpled them, and put them in a bowl.

Wilma was familiar with the routine.

She quickly picked a winner.  (I think she figured out that the sooner she picks a piece of paper, the sooner she gets a dog biscuit.)

And the winner is Susie B.  I'll email you separately to coordinate mailing instructions.

Wilma waits patiently for her just reward!

Thanks to everyone who participated.  If you didn't win today, you can still buy the book.  You'll be glad you did!

Wilma Picks a Winner

Many of you asked if I could PLEASE have Wilma be my random number generator.  She was more than happy to oblige.  So I printed out all the comments to my Happy Blogiversary post/contest, cut them apart, crumpled them, and dumped them on the ground.  Wilma had great fun picking them out.

She pounced, pawed, ran away, came back, repeated the process until finally she picked up one name and took it inside...

... where she preceded to slobber all over it and tear it apart.

But I was able to piece it back together and am happy to announce that the winner of the lovely purple Lorna's Laces sock yarn is:  Kim L-S.  Congratulations Kim!  I'll email you separately to coordinate mailing instructions.

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments and for reading - whether for a few months of for all eight years.  I really appreciate it.

Wilma on Wednesday - Good to the Last Lick

Thanks for all your kind words and wishes for my 8th blogiversary.  I really appreciate it.  Many of you mentioned how much you enjoy seeing Wilma the Wonder Dog.  It's hard to believe that she's been a part of my life for nearly six years now.  So to thank you, I offer pictures of Wilma doing what she enjoys most (after a nap of course) - eating!

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

Are YOU lookin' at ME?

Maybe I left a bit over here.

Now mind you, these pictures were snapped about three minutes after she had completely finished every last morsel and then some in her dog dish.  She licks her bowl for nearly five minutes after each meal, just in case there's any essence of dog food to be had.  Mmmm.....  Good to the last lick!

P.S. BF noted that I forgot to add that Wilma licks her paws for 20 minutes after every meal... just in case some au jus splashed on her paws during the meal.  Every.last.drop.  Must.get.every.last.drop.
