Cruising in 2010

We recently returned from a 5-day cruise on Carnival, to Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Kevin and I went with his brother, Scott, and our friend and neighbor, Jennifer.

While in Grand Cayman, we hung out on the beach. At Cozumel, we took the boat to Playa Del Carmen, where we went on the “Caverns by Jeep” tour, which is highlighted by a swim in the cavern waters of Chaak Tun, a cenote.

Truffles – Pet Parade Progress Report

It’s me again!

$745 for the Atlanta Humane Society so far! This is AWESOME! Thanks to everyone that has contributed! While only $15 away from my goal, I won’t get upset if I go over! 😉

Truffles collects $745 in donations!

If you haven’t had the chance to donate yet, I’ve a website that allows you to contribute via a credit card! Visit http://www.firstgiving.com/truffles to donate via your credit card. It’s so easy…I see my daddies use a credit card all the time. How difficult can it be? 🙂

You can also email me at truffles@davidandkevin.com, or call Daddy David at 678-643-3113, or Daddy Kevin at 404-786-1491 if you have any questions at all.

While the weather doesn’t look so good for Saturday’s Atlanta Pet Parade (40% chance of thunderstorms), I’m hoping that it will hold out for the walk, because I don’t like the rain that much, and I would really prefer not to have to wear that rain coat….

Thank you so much for your help!

Chi-dawg out and ready-to-walk!

Truffles’ progress report on donations for the Atlanta Pet Parade

Woof Woof!

I’ve collected $600 for the Atlanta Humane Society so far!

My goal of $760, one penny for each step I have to make to walk 1.5 miles, is almost reached! Thanks to all of you that have contributed and to your company matching gifts! Those have made a huge impact towards reaching my goal!

Truffles' collections progress

The Atlanta Pet Parade walk is this coming Saturday, May 1st, early in the morning. I’m so excited to walk with all the hundreds of other doggies and people that will be there. And I am SO PROUD to present the donations you’ve given and to help my doggie and kitty-cat friends waiting for homes at the Atlanta Humane Society.

If you haven’t donated yet, please help me reach, or even EXCEED my goal! There’s still time! You can mail a check made out to the Atlanta Humane Society to me at 1110 Pine Heights Drive, Atlanta, GA 30324. You can also email me at truffles@davidandkevin.com, or call Daddy David at 678-643-3113, or Daddy Kevin at 404-786-1491 to see how to get your donation to me.

Again, thank you so much for your help!

Chi-dawg out and ready-to-walk!

Truffles – In Training for the Atlanta Pet Parade

Woof!

So I told ya about how I’m gonna walk 1.5 miles in the Atlanta Pet Parade, benefiting the Atlanta Humane Society. By my calculations, that ‘s over 76,000 steps I have to take!

My daddies took me out to train. It had been a while since we walked such a distance. Below is the GPS tracked path that Daddy David tracked for me. As you can see, I walked 3.08 miles!! That’s twice what I’m gonna do in the pet parade walk! Hows that for being in shape?

Donations started off with a bang–thanks to everyone that has donated! But I still have some way to go. Hoping to make a penny per step. If you haven’t yet, can you help me get to my goal? Email me at truffles@davidandkevin.com for details.

Chi-dawg over and out!

Dear Pet Lover!

Atlanta Humane Society Pet Parade

My Daddies Kevin and David are taking me to walk one and a half miles to raise money for the Atlanta Humane Society.

Just so you know, 1.5 miles is about 63,360 inches…my legs have about a 5 inch stride length…so, that’s um…about 19,000 steps per leg…and I have 4 of them…that’s like 76,000 steps…um..holy poopoo…that’s a long walk!

Truffles is TWO!

This was a very impromptu planned party…not even a full 24 hours! Monday evening we thought we should celebrate Truffles’ second birthday. I sent a text message to a group of friends, and less than 24 hours later we are at The Grove. The Grove was very busy…we didn’t know it was also Trivia Night…

Truffles 2nd bday

Rant: “G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra”, Rave: “Julie & Julia”

G.I. Joe, with lots of action and green screen effects, was a bit over the top. While appreciative of the hunky cast and nifty special effects, I felt the effects were cool but too showy. Focusing on the story and dropping the effects factor by 50% would have left an enjoyable movie. No need to turn down the hunkiness, tho. 😉

Julie & Julia was very funny and inspirational. Inspirational, because I’m updating content on my blog (which I haven’t in a while) and because I’m on a diet and all the food prep made my mouth water. I think it’s time to pull out a cookbook and see what I can whip up!
