Fred's Follies

Baby Sister is Here!

2012-01-20T10:43:00.005-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

My Baby Sister is here!!!

Her name is Catherine, but I haven't decided what I will call her yet. Perhaps...Baby Sister.

Mr. Jason brought me her hat to smell, and I liked that. I also really miss my Old Girl! Come home soon with my Baby Sister and more things of hers to smell!!!

Fred Goes to the Nursery

2012-01-16T11:47:00.005-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I was going to post this as a Wordless Wednesday, but I wanted to say something about it.

Old Girl and Mr. Jason got this rug for my baby sister's nursery, and I'm a little concerned that it is Bichon fur (a la 101 Dalmatians). It looks JUST LIKE MINE. I hope no Bichons were harmed in the making of this rug.

In other news, I have trotted off several times with that little doll behind me, but Old Girl says it is my baby sister's.

I want that little doll.

Wordy Wednesday

2012-01-11T22:12:00.000-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Old Girl has been pretty terrible about taking pictures (and, let's be honest, terrible about pretty much everything) lately, but today she did two good things:

-cleaned up my email inbox
-caught up with my Twitter followers (I need to be on that fun place more often, I think!)

She also found these two articles that we meant to share with you a long time ago...

This one is about a puppy who knows more than 1,000 words. I know at least that many, I'm pretty sure.

And this one talks about how having a Fred gets you ready to have a Baby Sister.

About that, Baby Sister and I both have seats in the backseat of the car now. I'm not sure yet how much I like mine, but I do enjoy the treats that always mysteriously appear in there.

Anyways, she is due to arrive "any day now," so I will let you know what she smells like as soon as I can.

Chair swapping

2012-01-03T23:20:00.000-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Happy 2012! Do you have any new year's resolutions? I resolve to get cuter and eat more Greenies. Those are easy!

In other news from our house, Old Girl has been sleeping in different places lately. She says my baby sister makes her uncomfortable, but I say "LAZY!"

Anyways. She stole my blue chair the other night, so I stole hers right back.

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-25T14:35:00.004-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Santa Paws...I mean, Fred.

We really enjoyed seeing your Christmas pictures and getting your cards this year, even though Old Girl was LAZY and didn't send out any of us!

Nevertheless, we wanted to wish you all a happy holiday season.

Here is a picture of me with my stocking this morning.

I "opened" it a bit early this morning (here, "opened" means tearing into it and stealing my treats), and Santa Paws brought me Greenies, treats, a Bichon ornament, a Frosty Paws, and the promise to get me a Kong if I will give it a fair shake this time and not pee-pee on it.

How is your day going, pals?!

Hurting Hearts, Helping Hands

2011-12-19T07:18:00.000-06:00

Hi friends.

Our hearts are all breaking because of the sad news that five members of the kissa-bulls died in a fire this weekend. Please send them some loving thoughts at their blog here. We can't imagine how much their mom is hurting right now!

Also, if you can help financially, the Brat Pack has started a chip in for them.

Such sad news--makes us thankful for our sweet and supportive blogging community. Hug each other tight!

Wordless Wednesday: Photo Dump

Belated Thanksgiving

2011-12-10T19:41:00.004-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

{Do we sense a belated theme here?}

We went to my Grandpa's for Thanksgiving, and it was lots of fun.

I slept on this couch...

And looked out this window a lot...

It was fun, even though I didn't get one single bite of turkey.

Some of the other things I am thankful for this year are Greenies, our new house, long walks, and, I guess, Old Girl and Mr. Jason.

And you guys! I love all my blogger pals! Maybe we'll get a Christmas update before my baby sister gets here.

Belated Halloween

2011-11-17T17:09:00.000-06:00

Hello again.

It's me...Fred.

Our Halloween (which was a long time ago, Old Girl) was very exciting!

Old Girl had big plans for a photo shoot, but Mr. Jason was sickly. Then we got swarmed with trick-or-treaters. We never had a single one at our apartment, but, let me tell you, it was different in a house. They were ringing our doorbell all night!

Anyways. That meant no photo shoot.

So we recreated Halloween and did a mini photo shoot just for you all (well, and for Old Girl's amusement).

I was a pig, which is one of my favorite things!

I also LOVED the trick-or-treaters--especially when my neighborhood puppy friends came by all dressed up. Next year, I think I will take my Baby Sister trick or treating.

If she will share her candy with me.

Wordless Wednesday: Paws Up!

2011-11-16T23:34:00.000-06:00

New Game

2011-11-02T19:38:00.003-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I will fill you all in soon {this weekend, Old Girl?} on the first Halloween in our house! Hint: I dressed up like a pig, and I LOVE trick-or-treaters!

Anyways, for now, I want to tell you about this new game we play called "Say hello to the baby."

I don't much like it.

At first, I thought we were really going to say hello to my baby sister. And I got real excited! Then I saw it was just a fake baby, so I pounced on it! And tried to rip out its eyes!!!

Day Two: Just for fun, I pounced on that fake baby's cradle!!!

Now I only get treats when I sit and don't pay much attention to the baby or its cradle. What kind of a game is that?!

Because we don't have any recent pictures of me {besides Halloween}, I'll give you one of my real baby sister--not that fake baby. She is still inside here for another 11 weeks.
Sometimes I like to give her kisses in there.

{blush}

Winner! Winner!

2011-09-24T14:59:00.002-05:00

Congrats to my pal, Bilbo! If you guys will send me your address, I'll get this little shirt to you a.s.a.p.

Big Brother Giveaway

2011-09-18T17:14:00.005-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Remember the little shirt in this picture?
Well, when Old Girl first ordered it, she did not do a good job of judging the size, and she got me a shirt that was way too small! The folks at Cafe Press were very nice about it, though, and they sent me one in my size for free and let me keep the other one!

So I want to share the love, and we're giving away the small "I'm the Big Brother" shirt! Now I weigh 15 pounds (not fat, just fluffy), so it would probably fit someone who weighs less than 10-12 pounds.

Just leave a comment if you're interested, and we'll randomize a winner on Saturday! Bon chance!

Baby Sister!

2011-09-01T20:01:00.002-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I is going to have a baby sister! No one was more surprised than me, I tell you, because I thought that baby child in Old Girl's belly was a little boy.

Nope.

I think we will look exactly like this in a few months...

(P.S. Mr. Jason says I should not steal these pictures, but I do anyways. Don't tell.)

Wordless Wednesday: Where's Supper?

2011-08-31T18:18:00.000-05:00

The Weekend In Which a Puppy Goes to a Party and I Learn to Share

2011-08-29T20:01:00.005-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

We has had an eventful month around here!

Old Girl was getting ready to shower some baby (you know I don't keep up with the latest trends) when she saw this puppy!!!

He was just a little fellow who had no tags or microchip or peoples that we could immediately see, so we let him hang out with us!

He was, er, calmer than I was, so Mr. Jason and I cleared out of there during the baby shower (why DO they do that to that baby anyways?!), and Ridglea (as we were calling him) got to go to the party with all those peoples!

After that, we played for a long time, but, when this happened...

I said, "OK, when is this puppy going home?"

Old Girl esplained that he had lost his house, and we had to help him find it. So that is what we did.

Only not for two whole days. In which I shared chewies and food and beds and the yard and Old Girl's lap (but NOT the big bed...I growled at him about that).

Then his people called up Mr. Jason and said the puppy's name was Oreo, and he belonged to them. Mr. Jason quizzed them good and gave them a lecture about taking care of they's puppy since this was not the first time he had ecsaped.

We had some fun, but I am glad he is home. Especially since I think that is all the baby brother I want for awhile.

Wordless Wednesday: Contemplating

2011-08-24T20:46:00.001-05:00

Practice

2011-07-06T20:34:00.002-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I heard all about those baby-children and how they don't sleep through the night, so I thought I would help Old Girl and Mr. Jason practice with that.

Here was how it all went down:

10 p.m.--Asleepy-ness
2 a.m.--WAKE UP YOU GUYS!!! I HAVE TO POOP!!!
2:20 a.m.--After much insistence, I get to go outside in the middle of the night.
4 a.m.--WAKE UP YOU GUYS!!! I HAVE TO PEE-PEE!!! {It worked really well the last time.}
4:05 a.m.--Old Girl is not going to be a good mother, I think.
5:30 a.m.--Old Girl's alarum goes off, and she ignores it for a whole hour.
8 a.m.--I go back to sleep all day while Old Girl goes to work.

Ready to try again tonight!

Big News

2011-07-05T12:24:00.003-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

We have news!

I'm going to be a big brother! To a baby-child!
I'm a little nervous! Anyone have experience with this? Advice???

Friday, Friday! Take Your Fred to Work on Friday!

2011-06-27T17:03:00.000-05:00

Friday, Friday, I got to work on Friday...everybody was lookin' forward to the Bichon, Bichon...

Hooray for {my} third annual Take Your Fred to Work Day! Since I have already been all over this library {Year 1; Year 2}, we decided to keep it lowkey this year.

I mostly just hung out in Old Girl's office...

searched for an escape route...

...and snoozed.

Mr. Jason took me home at lunchtime, where I snoozed some more.
Poopin and pee-peein, YEAH
Poopin and pee-peein, YEAH
FUN FUN FUN FUN
Lookin' forward to the next year!

Troubling Times

2011-06-09T07:24:00.000-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Old Girl and I read a troubling story yesterday in the Times Daily (my Grandpa's newspaper).

Here is the link about problems with barking dogs...

But I had another problem with this sentence:
Excessive barking...is usually a cry for help and could link back to neglect, hunger, thirst or boredom. Morson suggests using a bark collar or muzzle to resolve the issue.

Um, Mr. Animal Control Man, how about advising residents to address the neglect, hunger, thirst or boredom?!

It's already h-o-t-hot in Alabama, and there was nothing said about the problems of leaving puppies outside or making sure they have shade and plenty of water if you have to leave them out.

This makes me downright troubled...and a little mad.

Do-Do-Do Lookin' Out My Backyard

2011-06-05T19:58:00.003-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

We have a video here that is not terribly exciting, but it is me enjoying my backyard. It is one of those artsy pieces, so let me explain what is going on.

First, you see me on a leash. This is because I get way more excited about going outside when I'm on a leash. Then you see me off-leash and running round a little. That is about all because I get kind of bored when I'm in the backyard.

Oh, I don't want to give away the whole thing...

You can see that, after a few minutes of running round, I just stand and stare. And then I eat grass.

So, I'm seeking advice, friends! After eight years of a morning and afternoon walk, I find this mere running round the backyard for exercise to be a bit of a jip!

Those of you with backyards--do you still get walks? How do your pawrents play with you outside? (Old Girl tries to run round with me, but she just looks silly...and sometimes falls down.)

Sadness!

2011-06-02T23:05:00.000-05:00

Sad upon sad. I heard today that a puppy at Old Girl and Mr. Jason's school also crossed the bridge.

His name was Noche, and he was the presidential puppy. He had a coffee drink named after him (the Cinnamon Noche) and was honored with open access to the campus (and even strolled by Old Girl's office at the liberry a few weeks ago), and he was just a nice, good fella.

Old Girl is on her one-week summer vacation from school, so she and I are going to try to come up with something to make us all smile for the weekend. It might have something to do with a backyard.

Take care, friends!

Oh, Joe

2011-06-01T18:29:00.000-05:00

Joe Stains and his little brother, Tanner, were two of my first friends here in the blog world.

Joe has now crossed the bridge, so please send his family some love.

They never failed to make us laugh, and we totally understand their devotion to their teams and meats. We know, deep down, Joe had a good heart, and we will miss him around here!

The Big Reveal

2011-04-24T05:55:00.004-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Sorry to be MIA lately except for the cryptic Wordless Wednesdays.

Indeed we have been packing! Because Old Girl and Mr. Jason bought this...

Me very own backyard!

I've wanted one since I was a baby puppy, and now it is finally mine.

Oh yeah, this came with it...

I'm not as sure about that.

2011-03-06T19:01:00.004-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

This is what happens sometimes when Mr. Jason is responsible for feeding me...

Old Girl muttered something about being reminded of drinking milk out of the carton. I don't know what she's talking about, but I do like milk. ;P

Donations?

2011-02-27T17:45:00.002-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I got an email about these folks giving away $1000 to a pet-related charity. I don't know much more about it, but I thought I'd pass it along!

Happy weekend, everyone!

Introducing Lulu!

2011-02-26T20:57:00.001-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I am in love.

Her name is Lulu, and we haven't officially met yet. But she looks mostly like this... And she bit Old Girl's ear! {Sassy...I like her already.}

She is technically my cousin, I guess, because she belongs to my Aunt Shelley.

Hmm.

*swoon*

Wordless Wednesday: Ordinary Day

Belated Birthday

2011-02-21T05:50:00.004-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I had a great belated birthday weekend!

I got this gift from my friends Ms. Michelle and Mr. Jeff. (Thanks again--it was YUM.)

I also went to Fort Woof, where I met my soulmate of the day (aka the puppy I fixate on and will not leave along ala Pepe Le Peu on the chase)...and I met my doppelganger!

Hope you guys had a great weekend, too!

Birthday Update

2011-02-17T06:16:00.004-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! The actual day was just OK. I got some extra treats and belly rubs, but no special foodstuffs. So I stole a bone on me walk. ;P And threw it up while Old Girl was in class! BOL!!! Welcome home, Old Girl!!!

Anyways, I forgive Old Girl because we're actually going to celebrate this weekend. Plans are in the works for a trip to the pet store and the puppy park. Why do something elaborate when my Bichon tastes are so simple, non? ;P

In the meantime, I wish we could be here today helping others speak up for animals! Cockfighting is still a big problem here in Texas, and our state is in the bottom tier of the Humane Society's state rankings. Let's all stay informed and stay in touch with our legislators!

Happy Early V-Day!

2011-02-09T20:45:00.006-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Have you seen these beautimous Valentines you can send via Kate Spade? (I hear she takes her puppy to work EVERY DAY, Old Girl...grr.)

Er, anyways...

This is the one I sent to my Pig...

And this is the one I sent to my new girlfriend, Lulu, who I haven't met yet...
And I did not send one to Old Girl and Mr. Jason because they are not taking me to Outback to eat steak with them tonight.

Happy V-Day anyways, everyone!

Wordless Wednesday Interrupt

2011-02-09T06:37:00.002-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I interrupt this Wordless Wednesday because a) Old Girl has not taken any good pictures lately and b) next week is my birthday!!!!!

Keeping in mind that I have a restricted diet (so no pizza, steak, or even Cesar for a treat), what do you think I should do to celebrate?

Eight years old--here I come!

Go Steelers. :P

2011-02-06T19:27:00.003-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Honestly, I just thought I'd catch your attention with that line. I'm more interested in this Puppy Bowl I've heard about than the Super Bowl.

But my Aunt Shelley and my pals Joe and Tanner like the Steelers, so I'm pulling for those guys.

Joe and Tanner are more on Twitter...where I'm not so much these days (same goes for Dogster).

Am I going to have to put Old Girl on a schedule for ALL my Web 2.0 activities?

The Lap Dog vs. The Laptop

2011-01-30T16:48:00.002-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

So I have decided I do not like Old Girl's compooter. I know it helps us blog, but I really think I should just convey my thoughts to her, and she can do that on her own time. Not during our quality time. Mostly, this compooter just gets in my way.

As I've approached middle age (ahem...as the dogtor tells me), I've gotten to be more of a lap dog. And there is no better time to snuggle with Old Girl than when she is busily typing away on her laptop. I am just big enough to get in the way and just pitiful enough to make her feel guilty about asking me to move.

Do any of you have this laptop dislike? Have your snuggling habits changed as you've gotten older?

2011-01-23T16:43:00.004-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

As promised, I put Old Girl and Mr. Jason to work, and they conquered the new {to those old fogies} iMovie to show how I conquered my monkey.

Christmas Loot!

2011-01-15T11:25:00.009-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I got a lot of Christmas loot this year...

My favorite Christmas presents, by far, were my monkey...

...and my dragon.

The dragon growls at me, and I haven't figured out how to make him stop.

The monkey laughed and laughed...even when I pulled his eyes out, all I heard was laughing!

So I ripped out his laugher thingy.

We were going to have a contest between Laughing Monkey and Kung Fu Hamster, but now it wouldn't really be a fair fight. Hamster still has one nunchuk, after all.

I will make Old Girl and Mr. Jason work on a video for next weekend, though, so you can see Monkey in all his former glory.
Have a great week, everyone!

Wordless Wednesday: More Snoopy!

Tattletales!

2011-01-08T08:07:00.002-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

So, Old Girl listens to this lady, The Dog Trainer, and says things like, "Brilliant!" and "I wish I had her advice eight years ago."

Whatever. I was letting it slide. Then I found an email from Old Girl to TDT, and Grr, Old Girl, Grr. It said:

Hello!

I love your podcast and tips, and I have a question about my eight-year-old Bichon Frise, Fred. He has always had a bit of separation anxiety, but he is usually OK once he gets settled into a routine. My husband and I are both students, and he is often home with Fred in the mornings when I go to work. For the past few years, this has not been a problem. Once I leave, Fred generally goes to sleep beside my husband, who is a late riser. But in the last couple of months, he has appeared to be fine when I leave but almost immediately after tries to wake my husband, whining and asking to go out, even though he has his regular walk before I leave. Nothing else in our routine has changed.
We live in an apartment complex, and he is quite sensitive to alarms or loud chirping noises. We've wondered if he is hearing something that we can't and is troubled by it. Is there any way to calm him if we don't know what is upsetting him? Is there hope that my husband will still be able to get his eight hours? :)

Sincerely,
Old Girl

OK, first off. I WILL NOT BE EIGHT UNTIL FEBRUARY. I am still seven!!! Sheesh!

Also, if you don't know why I'm mad, I'm certainly not going to tell you!

{P.S. Fo' real...any tips, guys?} ;P

A Tale of Two Snoopys (Snoopies?)

2011-01-04T21:29:00.000-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

First off, I was so sorry to hear about my friend Opy going to the bridge. She was one of my first DWB pals, and I know her family is hurting. If you can, please go to her blog and show them some love.

Now...in this New Year, I am going to try to get Old Girl on a blogging schedule. I don't think we can keep up with you Daily Dominators or TCT Champions, but I think we should be able to handle doing Wordless Wednesdays and a post on the weekends. Deal? We'll try to do better about commenting on yours, too!

OK, so do you remember that I told you I got a Snoopy bed?
Well...at first I did not like Snoopy AT ALL. He made me so mad!!!

These pictures do not do justice to my wrath.

But then Old Girl tricked me and hided his head.

And suddenly he did not seem so bad! Even when his head came out again.

hehheh Good one, Old Girl!
See ya tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday!

Merry Christmas 2010!

2010-12-23T00:16:00.003-06:00

From our family to yours! Thanks for your continued friendship and ever-present patience this year! You all are the best!

New Bed Preview!

2010-11-14T21:41:00.003-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

I has a new bed! This makes three for me...well, four if you count the big bed where I most like to sleep.

Anyways, it is a Snoopy, so it matches my bowls...

At first I HATED it, but now I loves it.

More to come.

Halloween Is Over, and I Missed It!

2010-11-11T19:15:00.002-06:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Well, it's been one thing after another at Chez Bichon.

Suffice it to say, I've come to make up. {And give you lots of movie quotes, huh?} ;P

Old Girl is busy. Mr. Jason is busy. And I'm demanding playtime in the midst of all the busy-ness {hey, it's a stress reliever, I say}. But I haven't demanded blog time. Boo.

So...updates coming. A failed Halloween costume, puppies in chapel, pumpkin moose, and no-babies-pink! BOL!

OK, see you soon! {I hope. Grr, Old Girl.}

True Colors Thursday: Pumpkin!!!

2010-10-27T21:37:00.008-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

heehee First, I should probably let you all know what really happened with that Coca Cola. You see, I LOVE to steal plastic bottles. I chew on them and make lots of fun noise (only under the close supervision of Old Girl and Mr. Jason, of course). Usually, though, I don't bother with a bottle if it's full.

Well, Old Girl was in the bathroom the other night when Mr. Jason alerted her that I had thiefed her almost-full Coca Cola bottle! Old Girl got real tickled about that, and that made me hang on to that bottle and RUN AWAY! She finally got it back, emptied it out, then gave it back to me. I thought that was real nice. (And no caffeine was imbibed.)

On to the TCT! Pumpkin!

Now, Old Girl has been doing a pumpkin extravaganza over at her blog this month, so you'll see lots of pumpkiny goodness there.

Here is some more...

Classic. punkin.

But I like the Fred-colored pumpkins better!

Here's a picture of all our fall goodness around the house...

And here is a pumpkin-colored butterfly that Old Girl saw on her without-me-walk...

But that one's kinda hard to see. :P

TCT is the most fun (even though I am perpetually late with it). If you'd like to play, just click here.

Next week is baaaaaaby pink!

A Very, Very Late TCT

2010-10-23T20:41:00.005-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

We is not normally slackers.

Just wanted to throw that out there and esplain a little about what's up in our world. Old Girl and Mr. Jason are working and going to school, and {this makes me real mad} things like me blog get bumped down the to-do list sometimes. Old Girl doesn't even have me Halloweener costume made yet, and we even missed Barktoberfest this year!

But, rest assured, we LOVES keeping up with you all, and we'll be around just as much as we can!!!

Old Girl and I had a FREDtastic morning today. We played for a whole HOUR, then went to the Farmers' Market, and then just rode around with the windows down and some moosack playing. Then we came home and took a nap. If you can think of a better way to spend a morning, I'd like to hear it! :P

Back to Thursday, coffee is one of Old Girl's most favoritest things, so she took pictures of the coffee she drank every day last week. Silliness...but kind of fun...except I apologize that there are no pictures of me.

Sometimes Mondays are tough, so she got it started right with her favorite pumpkin spice latte...

Tuesdays are $2 Tuesdays at Einstein Bros.! Bagel, shmear, coffee. $2. Doggie bagels are extra.

This was, I think, when Old Girl was pulling one of those "all-nighters."

Normally, she drinks her coffee black, but she's been creaming it up this week!

And this is my favorite coffee cup! Bien sur!

Next week is pumpkin!!! Another one of our favorite things! If you'd like to play along, just click here!

TCT Update and Grandpa

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

First of all, just a heads-up that Old Girl has been working on our True Colors Thursday, but it might be a smidge late because of compooter issues.

Also, you all are SO sweet to send support about my Grandpa, but I wants to clear up some confusion. He didn't go to the bridge! He just came to visit me last week!!! He is a young fellow, so we hope he sticks around a long, long time.

I'm so sorry for any confusion! Blame Old Girl.

OK, back to trying to solve these compooter issues. {I have to do everything around here. sheesh}

True Colors Thursday: Bristol Blue

2010-10-14T09:05:00.005-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Compooter troubles behind, we forge on to the Bristol Blue!

At first, I had no idea what in the world a Bristol Blue was, but I figured it had something to do with this place in Bristol, where Uncle Rece works...

Anyways, we has lots of that color around the house, too.

Our bookshelf is blue...

So are all these delicious foodables...

And these even more delicious ones!!!

creeeeeam.....

Then Old Girl made me model our blue bag...

I am not a pack mule...and Shell owes me money.

Next week is coffee. {Old Girl is sooo excited.} Just click here if you'd like to play along!

True Colors Thursday: Aquamarine

2010-10-07T09:30:00.007-05:00

Hello again. It's me...Fred.

Do any of you fellow TCTers sometimes notice a lot of strangers wearing our color of the week? It happened with aubergine and again with aquamarine, but Old Girl felt funny of taking pictures of random strangers! ;P

Anyways, here is what we have from our own personal files...

This is a picture of Old Girl's school. The beams are aquamarine, even though it's kind of hard to tell in this picture...

So are the walls...

A bunch of Old Girl's books in her to-be-read pile (and a pile it is, indeed) are aquamarine...

Old Girl loves to get aquamarine boxes from here...

I don't know why.

This is my official bed, and it is sort of aquamarine. I don't really like it, though. I prefer to sleep in the big bed or my little bed...

(Can you spot a preview of next week's color?!)

Old Girl also wears this aquamarine sweater all the time...

And is silly all.the.time.

Um, that's it?! Where are the pictures of me?! Grr, Old Girl. Grr.

Next week is bristol blue! Click here to play along!
