For Your Consideration - DIVA Entry/Cooper

What is it to be a DIVA? It is a life of work, modeling shoots, meeting one's fans, more photograph dates and of course managing one's image in print and on products. Is it an easy life? No but when one lives in the public arena, one must dedicate themselves to the beautiful life. Let me share my DIVA life with you.

 Yes, I am a male model. To keep myself in the spotlight, I visit my personal groomer monthly for a shampoo, cut and dry session. I use a variety of products depending on my photo shoots for the next week or so.

 Occasionally I will have a little wine to loosen up during a modeling session, but I find it can make my tongue somewhat loopy, so I try and it keep it to a minimum.

 I am not wild about the seasonal modeling jobs but I will wear what the fashion houses dictate. Thank goodness I didn't have to walk the runway in this monstrosity!

 When I first started out I did have some centerfolds taken for a magazine. I have since started litigation to get them back. It was a mistake, let's leave it at that.

 Portrait studies are always intense but I look straight into the lens and let my soul shine through.

 I try and do some public service photos when I am approached. I also try and visit the troops when the USO does their fun shows.

 It is exhausting being on the road, so one grabs shut-eye when one can.

 I always take time to meet with my fans, after all they have made me the DIVA I am today.

 I really enjoy the on-site photo shoots, particularly the beach.

 Note the nice angle to my head - I have a strong profile.

 Of course wearing a blue vest only accentuates my powerful chest, which the ladies love.

 Oh dear, another seasonal picture..

 ..they are so tiresome, it is hard to make some holiday fashions pop. Orange has never really been my color.

 I do, do some paw modeling. My fur can be high maintenance but it is worth it.

 I am politically active and try be on the cutting edge of what is coming out of Washington.

 I do endorse some products, mainly footstuffs and the contracts always stipulate an unlimited supply of the product. For that reason I focus mainly on biscuits.

 After consuming enough of the product I have to take a short nap to digest my endorsements.

Most people think of a DIVA as a bad thing and we can only blame Martha Stewart on that. No, a DIVA is not a bad thing. We are just different. We are beautiful and that makes us special.

Paws It Forward CONTEST! Enter now!

So Mum used the Blogger scheduler to post this note about Paws It Forward and it has been sitting for a week. It never published itself and it never even told us. It just sat there...waiting. How lame is that? Pretty lame if you ask me.

Anyway, we'll try this again! As you can see below, we received this nifty package from Natasha Kirker. She picked our name out of her Paws It Forward blog entry and then sent us a padded envelope with a stuffed toy, treats (two kinds) some Pupperoni chewies and two postcards with a discount on her jewelry.

We loved all our treats and we gave our toy to our Nanny with a pin attached to it. We think this Paws It Forward movement is a great way to make friends and get some cool new toys and foodables!

Now it is our turn!

If you would like to be in the running for one of three Paws It Forward packages, simply leave a comment to this entry. We will take all the entries, use a random choosing machiney-thingy, and the winners will be announced next Wednesday. These packages will contain food-ables, Oregon only type toys, and other fun stuff for you to enjoy. If you receive a package, then you have to Paws it Forward and have a contest on your blog.

I figure we if we keep this Paws It Forward  thing going, eventually everyone in the world will get a package. So odds are you may already be a winner!

One entry per dog/cat/bird.guinea pig, etc. This is not for dogs only. If you are a family members with wings, feet, paws, gills, or whatever, you are welcome to play!

Let the game begin! Arrroooo!

Love, Dozer

Bored, Bored, Bored, Bored - Dozer

Bored? Oh surely you jest (I am sure you are catching my canine sarcasm). I may be dead by the weekend from sheer boredom. I cannot daydream any more and I know every inch of my cage.

Mum took someone's suggestion to make a game using a muffin pan and 12 tennis balls. She hid treats under some tennis balls and challenged me to find the treats. Oh really...Mum, I'm a corgi! I could play tennis if I wanted to.


This was the start of the game. Note the action shot - I tore through this challenge.


I sniffed out the treats.


Then I started removing said treats. Sorry Coop, this is my game!


I said 'move it' Coop, this is my game! I mean it.

Dang dammit! Leave my pink tennis ball alone!

Well that was 3 minutes of entertainment. Just 23 hours and 57 minutes more to go...

Tibby Bingo Winner - Dozer

I know none of you are going to believe this but I did not cheat (ask Tibby) and this game was not rigged. All I ask for are bragging rights! You may ask "How can I become a winner like Dozer?" (many do ask that on a regular basis). My answer, go see Tibby at Tibby Tales.

Tibby has bingo games and you can play and get a really nifty bingo board for your blog or website. Because Tibby runs the games you know they are fair. Again, to you naysayers (and you know who you are, Cooper), I did not cheat and this is a legitimate win.

Apparently Tibby thought I should share the honor with Cooper and Dottie but at least I got top billing, as well I should. Cooper keeps rolling his eyes and farting at me which I believe carries a hidden message. Anyway, this is how my day started out, how is yours faring?

BINGO! I GOT BINGO! - Dozer's Notes

Look! I got Bingo on Tibby's bingo game! Whooo hooo! BINGO! BINGO! Don't you just love yelling it? Mum says I have to calm down a bit and send Tibby a note before I break something.

Now Cooper is running around the house yelling "LOSER! LOSER!" because you have to have a "T" not just a regular Bingo. He thinks he is so smart...well, apparently Tibby agrees but at least I got to yell BINGO! and I am not a loser Cooper!
