There is so much going on here that I figured out that there's only so much I can share!  I've worked my little paws down to their nubs getting the next video out.  Go see it now!  You are going to love it!  I've got a special message at the very end so be sure that you don't miss it!  Can't wait to hear what you think about it!

There's another video in the Giveaway section of the Videos.  I can't believe it took me two weeks to edit out the excitement of April 15th when Deni Larrigan had her name called for winning a $100 Stampin' gift certificate!  It's the first time ever that the winner's ever been there to hear her name called.  She already spent it at the Spring Fling Stamp Fest.  Be looking for those pictures soon.  It's so much fun to give that money away, that I think we're going to do it again!  I've got to decorate another board, but I'm keeping the picture of the old one up on the site because the dog in the picture is so good looking.

Tomorrow is the start of National Scrapbooking Month!  Ann's having a class that will knock your socks off!  Just click on the picture and see what's on the inside.  This one's a special one so register today! 

Come stamp with me & have some designer pizza on SOS Night!  We'll be doing some free style stampin' & scrapbookin'.  It's going to be a blast. 

In the meantime, I'll work on the newsletter and the cool chipboard news for youse .

They're really neat!  You can hold them over an image and see if the punch fits!  They have special plastic covers so they won't wear out.

Ann said I could go next time.  I'm not complaining because she brought home a cool clock that she decorated yesterday.  She said I could win it if I host a party before June 15th.  I'll be sure that she puts a picture of it in the newsletter, but if you're thinking that you want to stamp some fun with her, I'd drop her a line really quick before someone else parties on your date!

We worked together & did the 4/20 featured card and this one which is my personal favorite!  Gotta love those cards for the guys!  Who says they have to be fancy?

We got out the heat tool & embossed the sign.  I know that Ann was thinking of me when we designed this.  I know that *I* was!

Both cards are made larger for lots of admirers to sign.  They're made to fit the retired 4" x 9" Large Open Ended Envelopes.  Just right for your fan club!  But Stampin' Up! has other large envelope sizes too.

Now when Bosses' Day rolls around, I'll keep checking my mailbox for YOUR card!

   Chow Baby!      Stamper

It was the first time ever that the $100 winner was in the room!  I'll have that video and some cool cards they made at Stamp Club posted on the site as soon as I catch my breath!

In the meantime, here's another cool pic from Ann's cruise.  Can you guess whose toes are those?  Here's a hint:  Ann had warmer feet than everyone else.  :-)  I'd recognize those shoes anywhere!

But I'm getting ahead of myself.  The feets on the beach picture was taken April 1st when the sun was shining.  The day before, they went underground into 2 caves!  Jack Russells are known for their capability of digging and going underground to catch the fox.  I wonder how many Jacks it took to dig this one!  Click to see an awesome close-up.

My Stampin' Jewel friend, Juli Smith said that I made her day.  Must've been that kiss I blew her.  I only play tag, ball & fetch in the backyard, but isn't this a nice award for her to give me just for a quick kiss? 

Then today we went to get Ann's hair adjusted.  It's a dog friendly place with lotsa places to sniff & some gals that love to give me a kiss & a cuddle.  I was resting in my cage while they took the scissors to Ann's head.  (She said if I was good, I could do it for her next time.) 

Someone came in unexpectedly and I ran across the room and out the door!  Varoom!  The scissor lady ran out behind me.  Ann came out with this funny looking skirt around her neck.  She was saying some words I hadn't heard before, but I wasn't looking or paying much attention.

I was trotting down the middle of the street over a block away - Okay, it was a short block - when I went up to 3 interesting young people.  I think they call them "teens".  The scissor lady called out to them and they scooped me up and returned me to her.

Ann must've gone back inside for her keys because she drove up in my limo and the scissor lady put me in the back seat.  Ann was VERY happy to see me, but I think she gave me a new nickname using one of those words as she smiled at me.  It starts with "little".  I can't quite make out the second word. 

So, it was a grand day.  Ann got her head adjusted.  My girlfriend, Juli Smith gave me the I met some new friends.  And we ALL got our exercise!  All I have left to do is stamp with Ann & it will be a PERFECT day!

She thanked me for "manning" the computer while she was gone so that she can start planning her trip to Hawaii courtesy of Stampin' Up! AND YOU!  I lost over a pound while she was gone because I prefer her cooking to mine.  Did you miss her too?  Thanks for all your Hula Help whether you purchased something since last summer or right at the end.  We won't tell her how much money I gave away.  Let's just keep that between you and me so I can start planning what I'm going to do the next time she leaves!

She's got LOTS of sorting to do and pictures to take of the swaps.  She even rode a moped around Bermuda to check out the dogs there.  There weren't very many so she checked out the beaches and shopping.

More later after I get done washing the clothes.  It's a pretty big pile!  I didn't know she HAD this many!

You've missed Phase 1 for my favorite friends, but I'm all about making NEW friends.  Phase 2 is the SECOND biggest special Ann has EVER done in 9 whole years!  That's WAY longer than I've been around and too long to imagine in dog years.

Believe me.  You won't even have to do math!  It's like NO shipping and NO tax!  YIKES!  Just join the newsletter list up at the top left of my webpage.  Then, most every night, I'll send out the original special again to you newbies and you can get in on the real deal based on when you sign up.

Just remember that the roll over & play dead date for Ann's 2nd biggest sale ever (Phase II) is midnight on March 29th when it's over.  There's something going on after that too so don't give up!  It's just not as big as either of the first two phases.

You'll wonder where I've been all your life!  I need to start some filming while she's gone too!  Cruisin' to Bermuda without me.  What is she thinking?

Our newsletter usually comes out twice a month, but right now it's about sharing the love and getting you some real deals!

Yes, this is how this whole webpage started two years ago.  I am smarter now......and better looking too, don't you think?

   Chow Baby!      Stamper

P.S.  Thank you Gail for making sure that I lead the life I'm meant to live while they're off cruisin' with Stampin' Up!.  I don't know what I'd do without you.

If you're not on the newsletter list now, you might miss something!

Be kind to the bunnies.  Don't rip their little chocolate heads off too quickly.  Savor the flavor and save me some!  Hopefully you know that chocolate is poison to dogs - poor me!

That's one of my new demonstrators, Meghan on my left.  She & Mary just love me to death!  You can see Diane's hands by those cool treats she brought, but my girlfriend Deni hid out on this one.

Be looking in your email box soon for a Customer Appreciation Special!  You just never know what's in my bag of tricks when Ann's gone........and you thought all I knew was how to sit, shake hands & roll over!

   Chow baby!   Stamper

Now, onto the future!  It's time to start Free Wheelin'!  Buy any of the stamp sets listed here & get a free matching wheel!  YOWZAH!  Those taste good.

Then, there's the cool Hostess Special where you can either host a workshop or pass your catalog around amongst friends.  Come up with $350+ in orders and you'll get an EXTRA $25 in Hostess Shopping Dollars!  Gotta love that!

Ann's your contact person.  I'm just the cute, adorable mouthpiece. 

P.S.  Check out the calendar so you'll see when I'm "accepting stampers" to come by & give me a kiss & a cuddle.

And it's the last chance to get free stamps too!  Shop here & call or email Ann.  She's even got a saweet special for new customers!

I put some new cards in the Art Gallery that you're going to love.  It was fun catching up with my stampin' ladies on Saturday.  They were Poppin' Pastels on this card with the Live Your Dream set.  YIKES!  What a crew!  They ALL went home with free stamps!  OK.  One got a Tearing Edge®, but we got her outta here before she hurt anyone.   ;-) 

I've got more stuff later, but I understand that you humans sometimes have short attention spans.

So here's Ann's card.  Isn't it PURDY MASCULINE?  I know how you all have issues hooking us male types up with cards. 

Here's some more news!  I've been tagged!  Cassandra Larson wanted to know 7 things about me.  I'm the only dog I know with a blog so I've never played tag online.  Is it as fun as in the back yard?  In the spirit of the game, here are 7 secrets that most don't know:

1.  I was born on 9/2/05 in Oregon with 2 sisters & one brother before escaping to California with my sister who lives with another stamper.

2.  When I was born, my white fur was real white.  Still is, but as I've gotten older, I now have black spots on my skin that show through a little.  I think of them as beauty spots.

3.  It's all Deni Larrigan's fault that Ann found me.  Ann was delivering some stamps & they started chatting about Deni's dog, Diogi (dee-OH'-gee = DOG-get it?)  The rest is history.

4.  Ann thought of my name in the shower when I was a mere picture on her computer.  I thought of the blog when I was only 5 months old & had it running a month later.

5.  I really live up to my name and will put my lips around markers, wood blocks, stamps and Ann's writing pens whenever I want some excitement around here.

6.  Cesar Milan is my hero, but he's got it wrong.  I'M really the pack leader.  The rest of you are just humans.

7.  If I could stamp, I would.  So instead, I direct.  Another video is in the works.

Today's special card was sent to my human grandpa who's in the hospital.  Hope it makes him smile.  Ann saw it on Dawn's site while doing stampin' research for me and just couldn't resist!

There's only a few more days to get FREE STAMPS for the Sale-A-Bration sale of the year.  There's a really cool looking flower pot on page 11 of the Sale-A-Bration mini catalog.  Check it out here & scroll down to page 11 or find your own SAB mini & check it out.  Like it?  You can make it yourself with this pattern.  What a nice little gifty for your friend.  I can envision receiving it now with little tasty dog treats in it.

Remember....there's only ONE WEEK LEFT TO JOIN MY TEAM at 20% off.  All you have to do is visit my special page & enroll.  The password is stamperdog (1 word - all lower case).  Talk to Ann first or go take the plunge.  Just do it!

There's a new video in town & you're going to love it!  I almost did a speaking part in this one, but instead chose the next best thing.   You're going to love it!  It's how to make that really cool card at the top of page 84 of the Spring Summer Collection 2008 (catalog).   You'll learn how to make those big scallops easily.

You'll always learn new stuff at one of Ann's classes or you can have her come to your house to stamp with your friends.  There's a big special on & limited dates so that you can cash in.

I got a couple kisses in .  Please don't tell Ann.

Have you schmoozed by my Art Gallery lately?  Just look for the little red arrow èto see the latest stuff.

Speaking of friends, Ann got another cool card.  This one's from Sandy!  Now remember, stampers, my 3rd birthday is September 2nd.  You have lots of time to plan cool cards for me too.  Run to your calendar now so you don't miss it!

P.S.  There are only FIVE squares left on the Winter Wonderland board.  I feel another video coming on soon!

TODAY'S ANN'S BIRTHDAY!!!

We had such a good time last night.  Girls came from near & far to see me & get some good luck for their Bunko game.  Cecil was the Best Loser (not my opinion - just the dice).  Cynthia Groom had SEVEN BUNKOS!  7!  YIKES!  I think she & her friends should've stopped in Reno on their way home or at least bought a few lottery tickets!

Cynthia must've had all that luck because she made Ann this beautiful card.  I made sure Ann put it on the site before going to bed so you could appreciate it too.

Cynthia wasn't the only lucky one.  Jolene Larsen was the big winner of the Scrapbooking Basket.  She qualified by having a workshop in January.    There was over $100 in stamps & scrapbooking supplies in there! 

Ann's got more fun planned.  You've just got to get on the bus!  I'm the official back seat driver of the inky bus of fun!

  Chow baby!   Stamper

How do you like my latest pic?  Pretty good muscle tone on the front legs, eh?  They stay toned from stamping.  You should see my abs!  They're spotted!

I did check the mail while I was out & about & left it on the table for Ann to find this nice birthday card from Mary Hansen.  How nice of Mary to think of Ann while she was on vacation this week.  I promise I was good, Mary, and didn't even open the envelope!

Ann's got some more talented friends who did a challenge recently.  Ann gave them all special tins and they decorated them really neat.  Check them out!

Come by and see me soon!  I'm working on some videos to come out later this month.  Perhaps you'd like to see my casting couch......er...carrier.  OK....cage.

  Chow baby!   Stamper

And to top it all off, the Winter Wonderland board is going strong all into SALE-A-BRATION!  It's over half full!  Get your name on here for every $50 you purchase AND when you host a workshop so that you can win a $100 gift certificate!  (names have been altered to protect your privacy)

I'm even throwing in a WAY cool special for those of you wanting join Ann's 24/7 Stampers!  You don't have to have a special dog to do this, but if you act now, you can get 20% off the Starter Kit & start having fun for only $157 + tax!  Besides the normal kit, you'll get ANY SET IN THE BOOK!  Just ask for more info on how you can stamp your own future!

Mention this Dog Treat for Free Shipping.  It's only good until that first kick off on Sunday!  Don't delay!

Life is good.  Glad you're enjoying my new video.

My neighbor friend Snoopy got put in jail yesterday.  He saw the gate open and took a jaunt down the street.   He got inside the Jehovah's Witness Convention Center during an event and he was going around greeting all the people! 

He's got long legs & even more energy than I do so they must've run around a lot before they caught him.  He even broke his collar!  He should be home now but I can't wait to hear of his escapade.  Ann keeps my social calendar full so I don't have to break in anywhere.  I get invited!

Come by and play with me soon!

  Chow baby!   Stamper

Please email me your critique.  I'd love to hear what you'd like to see next!  In the meantime, my Video Gallery is where you'll find this....and you can find a couple more Rub On projects in the Art Gallery.

   Chow baby!   Stamper

If I only had fingers to type, I'd have more control.  I do get to pick the art that goes into my gallery.  Now THAT'S a fun job!  Why don't you send me some so I can include yours?  Just email me the picture of your favorite project.

I had such a good time stampin' with the kids today.  I hope Ann does that again soon!

   Chow baby!   Stamper

P.S.  Congrats to the 3 stampers that were the first to notice last time:  Lilann Taylor, Jen Rietz & Zoe Farmer

It WAS peaceful around here.  Now Ann's back and all I hear about is Palm Springs and all the cool stuff that Ann did there. 

I think that I would've had a good time sticking my head out the window and riding along as co-pilot but it was not to be.

I think that I would've had a good time stamping, but I've got to GET THERE FIRST!  So much fun & so little time! 

Not to worry.  I'm the star of the local doggy day care.  Gail sees that I have my own flashy car ride every morning.

Pretty soon, Ann will have some of the too stinkin' cute cards up in the Art Gallery.  I don't think that we have a section for that.  Let me think on this one.  If you REALLY want to see them up close, you should book a workshop!

   Chow baby!   Stamper

Since Ann's gone, I'm going to take advantage of her new site to give a special!  If you've been thinking of becoming a demonstrator & you're waiting for the right time, the time is NOW because you can now sign up ONLINE!  Just go to her site & click on the "Join Stampin' Up!" link.  Scroll down & you'll see where it says Click Here to Enroll.  If you do this while she's at Leadership, you'll get over $50 of stampin' stuff & stampin' cash from me.  (a Hodgepodge Hardware kit now & a $25 gift certificate at your first promotion which normally comes in 3 - 6 months, but many times is less).  Gotta love that!  You've just got to do it online before Sunday, January 13th.  and if you're the VERY FIRST one, you'll get a collection of Sale-a-Bration samples to help you start off!

Oh yes, you need the super secret password when they ask you for it.  Now that the special's over, please contact me for it.

I think, no, I know you should do it.  I need a new friend & I think that's you!

   Chow baby!   Stamper

P.S.  Did you know that you can get an email to let you know whenever I post an entry or special?  Just use that little Feedblitz box on the right that says "Subscribe me!"  Easy peasy!

It was so windy that little Chihuahua's had to be leashed so they didn't blow away!

She did her best, but it was not to be so the next morning she got up early - woke ME up in fact - and started calling her hostesses the farthest away first.  Two of the first three she called offered their homes so while Cecil & I manned the fort yesterday and worked on the fence & the roof, she was having a good time hanging out with the girls.  It was so cold that it wiped the color right off the picture she took in Sacramento & I missed all that stamping!  Grrrrr!  One of them got a gift certificate for rubber stamps from her dad that Ann presented that day.  They video taped it and sent it to her dad so he could enjoy the presentation.  (They're not paying attention in the picture because they're checking out the new catalog!)

Stamper Girls must be lucky.  Out of all of them, only 3 lost power for a long time.  The girls that couldn't make the trek will have another chance to stamp with Ann later this month.  Those that could made out like bandits because EVERYONE got a free stamp set!

Gotta love those stamper girls!  They're the best!

    Chow baby!   Stamper

But we're going to have a good time tomorrow at the Hostess Oasis.  I went out to double check the weather. 

Ann couldn't wait for my approval on the newsletter.  I hadn't initialed off on the calendar and POP!  She sent it!  The Mother & Child Reunion is January 19th, so bring your favorite mom, dad or child between 6 & 96 & you can fawn all over me between stampin' projects.  You'll have to register quick cuz this one fills up fast!

Now, if Ann would only LET ME IN THE HOUSE!  It's one wet & wild day & I'm done checking the weather!

    Chow baby!   Stamper

There's lots going on here.  Many of my favorite stampers are coming over to be Stampered & pampered this weekend.  Can't wait!  I'm cleaning out my office so that there's room for the massage therapist & his chair.  There's a new catalog out & man, oh man, it is COOL!

I've got more surprises up my sleeve, but I can only work on 4 sleeves at a time.
