Oliver and I have been very excited about all the new goodies we have to use on our upcoming conference trips. The Snoozer for travel on wheels, the Petmate Luxury Curvations Carrier and Retreat, Oliver's own travel organizer by Solvit, and 3 new Tshirts.
Between you and me, I think Oliver is the most excited about his Tshirts. I have not allowed him to wear them yet. He doesn't even know about one of them. Shhhh! It's a secret. You know all that stuff all the trainers say about a dog needing a job. Well I've decided Oliver needs a job during Blogpaws. One of his jobs is serious business. After all, every party needs a bouncer, right? Oliver plans to step up; he just doesn't know he has a uniform.
Sure, he'll be showing off his official Dogs for the PAWS Tshirt, and it's the prettiest thing that ever hit male dog fashion. Wowzer! We're glad to hear that Missy will be there to drool over compliment him.
He'll also be sporting an All Things Dog Blog Tshirt, of course. He's still a little miffed that Tanner's image was used to create the logo, but he's getting over it by being chosen to come to the conference. I think he's teasing Tanner when I'm not looking. Naughty boy!
Well, Oliver has begun to pack, so I better get to helping him. We have to color coordinate everything, right? We look forward to seeing you all at Blogpaws. Who is bringing their pets? Leave a comment so Oliver can start a playmate list. Safe travels!

Whew! I just finished walking the red carpet with Tanner and Oliver. We thought we could kick back and relax. Not this week. Suddenly we're stylish. It's de ja vous!
Recipients of the Stylish Blogger Award have 2 responsibilities: - Share 7 things about themselves. (I'm going to tell you about Tanner and Oliver. That's okay, right?)
- Offer the award to 15 bloggers that they enjoy reading.
Seven things about Tanner and Oliver:
- Tanner is a social butterfly, even though he lives with a Papillon, which means 'butterfly.' He knows how to work a dog park.
- Oliver is #74 of Annamarie Johnson's PAWS Pack 80, and proud of it! You can read his story at Dogs for the PAWS: A Retriever Family Adds a Pocket Pup.
- There's not much in the world that thrills Tanner more than a good swim or a Fetch game--a typical Golden Retriever in that sense.
- Oliver is the master of "Go Nite Nite". When it's bedtime, he hardly has to be told. I simply point in the direction of his crate and off he goes, sitting up proudly as if to say "Aren't I the cutest pup ever?"
- Once when Tanner was waiting permission to eat his breakfast, the doorbell rang. Thirty minutes later when I returned from talking to the neighbor, he was sitting by his dish in a puddle of drool. His food was untouched. Good boy, Tanner.
- When Tanner went to take his CGC test with Oliver and Xena, it rained. Hundreds of ducks descended on the waterfront area that we were using as a test site. Golden Retriever + Ducks=Zero Concentration on CGC :( Maybe another time. Oliver, on the other hand, is proud to have earned his Canine Good Citizen certification, even while Tanner was busy watching the ducks flap their wings and squawk wildly.
- Tanner is a Houdini dog. He can unlatch a child-guard gate, open a chain link gate with ease, open our front door to let himself out, unlatch Oliver's crate and unlock the bathroom pocket door lock. Perhaps I should get him a job as a locksmith?

Oliver is proud to be a part of the PAWS Pack. He's #74! You can visit all of the other dogs accepted to this project, that honors rescue dogs from around the country, at Dogs for the PAWS. When you're there, be sure to stop in to read Oliver's story: A Retriever Family Adds a Pocket Pup.
And one more thing...don't forget to leave a comment for Annamarie. She's done a fabulous job with all the dogs' paintings. Even Oliver is spouting about them today over at 5 Minutes for Fido. Enjoy!
