Rubber Chicken For Dinner Again?

What did you have for dinner?

Hugo says he loves to share Grandpa's dinner but Mommy says it isn't good for him so she gives him this rubber chicken whenever he's drooling over people food.

It just doesn't cut the mustard!

Hugo says he's thrilled to accept this award from Just Dog Breeds and dedicates it to his Grandma!

Be sure to visit the website for lots of great poopy dog information.

Hugo says he loves looking at birds! They are so bright and pretty, move very quickly and make cool noises.

You can see a picture of his favorite at the Fabulous Finch. The Lady Gouldian Finch is on the endangered species list in Australia. There are only about 2500 left in the wild. Look how colorful they are with their red heads and purple breasts!

The Fabulous Finch, a US based company, is dedicated to the preservation of this species in the wild through "Save the Gouldian Fund" in Australia. They are proud to be the first US company to contribute to this fund. They breed and offer birds for sale together with food, supplements and merchandise required for the birds' good health. You may read the background, diet and care
and breeding of these lovely birds on a site which is easy to navigate and very specific.

Breeding and caring for the Lady Gouldian Finch is not an easy task and it takes dedication and much care. Information has not been readily available and some sites make it dry and uninteresting. The Fabulous Finch makes caring for and breeding as simple a matter as possible, with easy to understand language and exact specifications.

Many brands of food and care products are available such as Morning Bird and Twin Beaks. There are pellets, medications, grit and breeding supplies and the prices seem reasonable.

The Fabulous Finch is a full line business which offers a very wide selection of products and brands - in stock and ready to ship. If you are looking for Vetafarm Australia pharmaceutical products to treat birds, this may be the answer as they are recognized as a leading innovator in avian health products by aviculturalists and veterinarian.

Hugo says check out the Fabulous Finch - perhaps you'd like to raise and breed Lady Gouldian Finches. Gift certificates are also available.

Hugo says he's going to Egmont tomorrow with Grandma and Grandpa for another holiday!



Grandma bought a new bag of dog food and a few nice treats so we're nearly ready to go. The shades are packed and adventure awaits! Hugo will dig clams and pick up oysters on the beach. He will chase sticks and balls and even plans to learn to swim.

If you email your address to his Grandma at heathermarysmith at hotmail dot com, Hugo will mail you a post card from Egmont!

Hugo says he hopes you have a great summer vacation too!

Hugo says...

...Grandma needs her own poopy dog to love but she wants to find the right breed and the right temperament - not to mention a doggy which doesn't shed or smell or drool! A little girly dog might be fun to dress up in rhinestones but she has to understand Hugo is the boss and she musn't be yappy or mean to his kitty. Oh, and she has to like boating...

That's a tall order but Hugo says we will find just the right companion with the right traits for Grandma on Just Dog Breeds. There is information on over 150 different dog breeds, ranging from small, cutesy, cuddly lap dogs to high maintenance show dogs.

Before you choose a companion canine you must ask yourself a few very important questions - and some of the questions on this site will make you really stop to think of the pro's and con's of small dogs versus big dogs.

Grandma is going to educate herself before making a final choice and justdogbreeds.com is the perfect place to start. Each breed is listed alphabetically and there are tons of photos. If you see a photo of a dog you like, click on the breed name and the dog is rated - in popularity, shedding, friendliness with children, protection ability, size, ease of training, exercise required, grooming required and even life expectancy. This is a well organized, comprehensive site which is easy to navigate. Now, that certainly makes it easy to choose a compatible companion.

Okay, this is seriously a fun site too - take a look at this big boy Mastiff! He has a face only his mother could possibly love.

Hugo says he and Grandma are going to have fun selecting a new friend at Just Dog Breeds!

Home Sweet Home

Hugo arrived home today from his summer vacation in Egmont with Grandma & Grandpa. His Mom & Dad were super excited to see him and expected him to be just as excited!!!

HA, he was not that excited... the only thing he was really interested in was playing outside & going for long walks. Hugo ran around the house, teased Mowgley the cat for a little bit, but then wanted out to play - like at Egmont.... He can't keep his eyes off the green grass.

Hugo was spoiled of course being in Egmont for a week while his Mom and Dad went to Calgary for a wedding. He is now used to 12 fun filled hours of outside playing & having lots of attention and new friends to play with nearly all day long. The holiday is over though and now he will have to go back to his boring life inside, sleeping and waiting for Mom and Dad to get home from work, then those supervised trips outside...

"Hey Grandma and Grandpa - when can I come back to Egmont for another visit with you?", Hugo says. I love living on the boat and going for rides and eating goose poop and digging up those nice crunchy crabs!

PPP Direct

Hugo says he likes Part One of the Birdo Release and PPP Direct!

What's a Birdo you ask? Read the Birdo press release here. Hugo doesn't know but it sounds like fun and PPP Direct allows Hugo and Grandma to blog for advertisers who like dogs and blogs and want to spread the word about their products and services.

PPP Direct is much different than it's competitors in the way it cuts massive overhead, charges a low markup and allows bloggers to earn and keep most of the money the advertisers pay.

With PPP Direct if an advertiser likes a specific blogger or blog he may contact the blogger via the PPP Direct link on the blog, meet the bloggers required payment amount or counteroffer until a dollar amount is reached, agree on minimum number of words, tone and number of links required then deposit his payment with PPP Direct.

The blogger writes the ad, posts it and as soon as it is approved by the advertiser PPP Direct releases the payment to the blogger. No waiting time - cool! PPP holds the advertisers money like an escrow-type service which assures the blogger is paid for his work.

PPP Direct does not have huge overhead. Competitors such as ReviewMe charge 50 to 100% markup and keep up to half your money. PPP Direct only charges a 10% fee, 5% of which goes to transaction fees for PayPal and credit card processing.

Hugo says he and Grandma hope they get LOTS of PPP Direct offers from advertisers! If you'd like to advertise with Hugo, click this badge. He'll do his doggone best to please you!

Crabs, Clams and Oysters!

Hugo says he had a great summer vacation at Egmont with Grandpa and Grandma! He went boating, fishing, clam digging, oyster picking, crab collecting, wading and even swimming when he wasn't busy chasing the birds, deer and his new best friends, Fred and Michael.

Fred rides a motorized scooter and chased Hugo around and around in circles until they were both dizzy, then he always had a little treat in his basket to share.

Michael threw the tennis ball further than anyone else for Hugo to fetch and ran with Hugo too. Michael started to teach Hugo how to sit and stay while he threw the ball then gave him the command to fetch. Hugo learned to follow the rules but tired of bringing the ball back and just lay down to chew it.

The crabs, clams, oysters and even barnacles and rocks all tasted salty and yummy to Hugo and he loved wading in the salt water and digging with his paws and nose to pull the treasures out onto the beach. At times he was up to his ears in the water and his little eyes and nose were red and cold.

Hugo spent 12 hours a day outside running and playing then the next 12 hours sleeping! Sleeping right between Grandpa and Grandma on their comfy, warm queen size bed. What a great dog's life!
