I've Been Food Tagged?

Our pals Agatha and Archie food tagged me today. Now, before you get upset about the mess, let me assure you that this is just another in our ongoing series of "getting to know you" blog spots. And, since food is "one of my favorite things" this is an easy one for me. (I'll bet you already know a couple of them!)

Number 5! PRETZELS You know, these are almost as good as dog bones! And my very favoritest pretzel is the Gus Pretzel from St. Loulis...that we got at the Soulard Market that Saturday. But me and dad ate them too fast for muzzer to take a picture. So these are some pretzels I got from Ivy for Valentines Day!





Number 4! GUMBO! This is better than dog food any day! And so is most of the food that muzzer cooks! But this is yummiest because of the vegamables and shrimpamables and crabbabbles in it! And it smells so good when it cooks. I even ate my rice that night! mmmm yummy in the Tummy!

Number 3! KONGS! The purists among us would insist that Kongs are not strictly foodables. However, in our house, they are wonderful surprises and come stuffed with the most marvelous foodables and topped with PEANUT BUTTER! And they make me happy even if muzzer has left for a while. And they last a pretty long time, particularly if she freezes them.

Number 2! STEAK AND SHAKE!

Oh Steak n Shake I love your burgers, made of beef upon the bun. Oh Steak n Shake, I love your french fries, golden crisp and newly done. Away, I'm far away, from the wide Missouri.

And of course,

Number 1!!!!!!!!

C'mon guys, you could have guessed!

If you want to play this tag game, you are it.

Muzzer says she is boring, her list is almost the same as A&A's mom, except she would put bread first, and then olives, and after that, wally melon and who cares!

I put it down to the heat. She just doesn't want to cook

PS: Today we got an e-mail from Mackie, Finnegan and Ollie and their mom, Melissa. The folks active in rescue in Texas have rescued some more fox terriers from a puppy mill place and they could use some help with funds or willing hands. If you want more details, leave us a message here and we will put you in contact with the terrier rescue folk. They do good work all over the country. I came from the Washington DC group myself!

Gussie

Muzzer does it again!

Ah yes...muzzer makes another perfect plan.

She got me up early this morning.

"Come on Gussie, Come on, we are going to Soulard!"

"Lots of Farmers bring their produce in and sell it in this BIIIG building."

"And there are plants and different meats and all kinds of stuff! It will be fun!"

I rolled over. I figured Dad would never go for it. Spend a perfectly good morning with vegetables and stuff? Nah.

Never underestimate the power of a muzzer.

We were on our way by 8:30 am. Walkies, breakfasts, showers and all that stuff were taken care of. (no shower for me, thank you.) We were in the white Gusmobile that Aunt Marie gave me. I had my travel bowl, some treats and a longer leash.

Oh Oh....traffic is terrible. Where are we going? Does Dad know the way or is this another shortcut?

Umm, yes...there is a parade up in front of us and they have French Flags, not USA flags. And who are those people all dressed up riding in that ugly wheel barrow thingy? Muzzer? What have you done?

Turned out that Soulard is an area of St. Louis that had a large number of people descended from other French people. And lots of the streets and parks have French names. And they have this parade on Bastille Day where they parade the king and queen of France through the streets, and then later on in the evening, they behead them. Well, not really. But lots of people were there even though it was early. And they were having a good time.

When the parade cleared, we got to the Market place. And it smelled Wonderful. And they don't let dogs into the market, but Dad and I found a bench and we sent Muzzer inside to shop for us.

And she brought out wonderful wonderful things.

They have GUS pretzels at one stand. They are tasty, but they got eaten too soon to get their pictures taken. Sorry. Maybe next time.

And we got this wonderful, huge wally melon. Muzzer says she knows it is good because she can see the spot where the bee stung it, and that means it is sweet! That woman has some really weird ideas, you know. And there is this lovely Aspara Gus. It is quite Tasty. I had several pieces uncooked with dinner. Yum.
And this funny corn that has Two colors of kernels in it. We are cooking it tomorrow for Uncle Ray.
And this cantaloupe, which is yummy squeezed up and put into Frosty Paws. And this humungous tomato thing. It is almost 1/4 as big as the cantaloupe, which isn't any teeny tiny fruit thing, ya know?

So I think she did OK, but I will report on the taste tomorrow and the next day.

And, it is only 6 days til we leave here to visit Butchy and Miss Snickers! I am getting so excited. Muzzer has hidden my travel bag, cause I can tell when we are getting ready for a trip, and she doesn't want me to drag it around the woody floors here. But I know. And I am READY.

Wow..to really get to meet the lovely Miss Snickers and her cohort Butchy. These are my first Bloggy pals that I have met up close and personal. Do you think they look like their pictures? Or is their clever mother brushing out all their flaws? Stay tuned.
