Anniversary and puppies!

[sekiharatae]

Today is my 7th anniversary (I mentioned early gift exchanges last week, so this is old news).  Since hubby has been working late for a delivery, we went out for dinner to celebrate last night.  ^_^

We went to Ipanema Brazilian Grill for rodizio (also called Brazilian barbecue).  It's a completely decadent experience... provided you're a meat eater. 

Tonight, we're just going to have something simple to eat, and watch a movie.

Also, the puppies give me much joy and laughter.  Here is a summary of their world view (aka:  the World According to Biggles and Zoe):

1. Ice cubes are the BOMB.  It's a toy, a treat, and a drink in one.
2. Socks -- especially the fuzzy ones mom likes -- are also bomb-diggity theft worthy.
3. Paper products (kleenex, paper towels, etc.) are nirvana.  Or crack.  Or chocolate.  Something really great.
4. No matter how many identical toys are available, the only one worth having is the one the other puppy has.
5. Stairs are like roller coasters:  a thrill a minute, and meant to be taken at top speed.
6. Anything that's in Zoe's crate is worth stealing.  (Biggles, obviously)
7. 'cookie' is a magic word.
8. Mom and Dad are nuts, but we love them anyway.

Awe. Yes. I know your point well on paper, but for Kipper it is plastic. H <3's plastic. He wants it! Not only do *pop bottles* move when you bit them, but they make noises! and are slippery!

Happy 7th Anniversary, by the way! *SMOOSHES*

We haven't tried the puppies on plastic yet, but now I'm very definitely tempted. Kipper's love of plastic sounds a lot like their love of ice cubes (except for ice cubes being quiet).

I'll let you know how it goes if we do. ;)

*hugs*

Happy anniversary!! ^_^

And awwwww, your puppies! I'm LOLing at the "no matter how many identical toys are available, the only one worth having is the one the other puppy has." ;)

[sekiharatae.livejournal.com]

It is so so so true. Many times I've pointed out to one of them that there is another toy JUST LIKE THAT ONE. They either ignore it, or they will take it only to have the other puppy abandon toy number one and try to get toy number two instead.

They have a similar reaction to humans. Any human that is petting one of them must pet both of them. Only time that's been different was when my nephew was here. Biggles seemed scared of him, but Zoe *adored* him.

Happy anniversary!

There's something even better than meat rodizios - it's PIZZA rodizios! One (smallish) slice of each kind of flavor! With the sweet ones for dessert. :) Of course, they're even better now that I can't actually... eat them... yeah.

Oh god, socks. Mine goes NUTS for socks. She hasn't been a puppy for two years already, but maybe that's worse. It's like she thinks a sock is a puppy - her puppy - and she'll protect it and snarl at anyone who gets close. Even if you're on the other side of the room, if you look her way and take one step in her direction she'll actually lunge and bark before hurrying back to tend to her puppy!sock. It's crazy.

Oh, wow. I could totally totally totally get behind pizza rodizio. O.o I shared this idea with my husband and he now wants to go to Brazil (as we figure we won't find that around here). He's something of a pizza fanatic.

Ours don't snarl -- at least not at us, maybe at each other because of the 'my toy!' reaction, but they will run away and hide under something to chew on their stolen bounty. And it doesn't matter if the sock is clean or dirty. They seem equally happy with both (which is annoying, because they'll take clean ones out of my basket and then I have to wash them again... so I have half-pairs floating around.)

Oh, mine prefers them dirty and smelly... but a clean one will do the trick in a pinch. She used to try and "bury" them in the sofa (not under), or on corners, complete with shovelling imaginary dirt over them XDD but eventually she found invisible dirt didn't hide her stash very well, so she just lies on top of them in a protective coccoon and takes them everywhere she goes. She's completely paranoid over them.

Nowadays my father's the only one who still leaves his socks unattended after taking them off.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! :3

LOL. Your dogs are made of epic adorableness!

[sekiharatae.livejournal.com]

They are awfully cute. I wish I'd taken a picture of Biggles on the sofa last night. All she needed was a remote under her paw and she'd be doing a perfect imitation of the old-man couch-potato stereo type. XD

Someday I'll get a video of Zoe having the mad zoomies around the house to share with you all. =D

LOL, love the puppy view, very cute! And once again, congratulations on your anniversary!! What movie did you watch?

[sekiharatae.livejournal.com]

We watched 9. It was very clever, but I won't say anything else for fear of spoilers. It is definitely a Tim Burton film, though.

Happy belated Anniversary!

Totally agree with you on the puppies. Especially this one:

No matter how many identical toys are available, the only one worth having is the one the other puppy has.

I have rare moments of peace and quiet with them. At present, Zoe is eating a reindeer squeaky toy, and Biggles is eating an old collar. Life is good for everyone. =)
