My birthday is coming up. I'll be more than half 100 years old and almost exactly half of 102.5 years old. Because my sister will be spending most of this month celebrating her SIL's birthday, she wanted to do something special for me. We are taking me out this weekend for some pre-birthday fun. The remainder of the month belongs to SIL, Vegas baby! They do a lot of "celebrating." I am mostly jealous. They already have several cruises and vacations lined up for the year. I think my sister's 2011 calendar resembles a chess board more than a calender.We're going wine tasting and may(!?) get some food. We'll visit Storrs, Bonny Doon and Bargetto though there are numerous wineries much closer to home. I even have a winery within walking distance if I'm drunk enough. I'll drop Bella at the boarding/training, GITMO.
I took Bella to be bathed late yesterday. When I picked her up, she looked angelic and smelled of strange smells. They sprayed her with cherry-vanilla flavoring or perfume. It was a free service. I don't really like perfumes. I can't use perfumed clothes soap because it makes me sick to smell it on my clothing. I think it's chemo fallout though I'm not 100% sure. I don't understand why they sprayed my dog with this smell. If I wanted to smell cherry vanilla, I would have never gotten a dog.
This morning on our early walk, Bella rolled in something dead on the road (squirrel, bat, deer). Now she looks like she's wearing a special kind of collar only it's a collar made of animal parts, blood and sinews, tendons. She smells like cherry vanilla and dead carcass. She smells like a dog.

Guess Bella took care of that weird perfume. Could she be any cuter? Great photos.
Happy, happy birthday!
Ooooh a winery tour! Love.
(and I hope they feed you too.)
Beyond adorable - and the dog's pretty cute, too!
Happy Early Birthday celebration!
Happy Birthday a little early. Enjoy those wine tours.
The last time my pup came home from being boarded and groomed she also smelled ridiculously sweet. So of course on the next walk she found the remaining mound of dirty snow and started digging in it. Yup way to get rid of that non-doggy odor.
Bella is so cute.
Woohoo for celebrating you! Enjoy, and be sure to tell everyone (right in front of your sister) that it's YOUR birthday. :D
Bella needs no artificial smella.
lmao....oh you crack me up!
Give Bella some kisses for me!
I hope you have an amazing birthday.
Si
Bella knows best when it comes to being a dog! Seems simple enough. My pets have always been breeds that don't require much revision to their natural beauty. I was at a pet "beauty salon" the other day because they also sell horse feed. I mentioned to the woman owner that I was sorry that I interrupted her shaving that cute little dog when I came in. She said, that was a CAT! See what I know :-)
cherry vanilla?? only in America...poor dog!
Pics are fab - you have a touch.
Birthday? yay - hope it's brilliant!

One thing about a Corgi is that they stay puppy-cute even when they grow up. Bella certainly is.
Wine tasting? I'm in!
Bella looks adorable, as always.
I'm late, as usual. But I did wish you a happy, happy elsewhere so hopefully that counts.
I am with you on perfume...anything flowery is particularly yukky. Yuk. Vanilla or some sort of baked goods fragrance I can deal with (what does THAT say about me?)
