Stuffie Spotlight: Droopy W. Dog

My friend Droopy is in the Stuffie Spotlight! Check out his fascinating interview below!

1)  What is your name and where do you live?

My name is Droopy W. Dog.  Everyone always wonders what the "W" stands for.  I've tried to keep it a secret, but my human inadvertently released a photo a few years ago and gave the whole thing away.  Tsk...good help is so hard to find...

I currently live in the great state of Texas.  Before that, my human and I lived in New Jersey for a very long time and had to deal with northeastern winters.  We miss looking at the snow, but we don't miss shoveling it!

2)  Tell us about how you got started blogging/writing.

Actually, I was inspired after reading the blog of a certain little brown bear from Bosnia  :)  I thought blogging would be a good way for me to connect with other stuffies.  Since I've started blogging, I've become friends with Ajdin, Little Fox, Sandy Bear, Jerry and Ben, Beanie Mouse, and several others.  We sometimes exchange gifts and cards in the mail, to the point where I now receive more Christmas cards than my human.

The blog has also helped me convince my human to bring me along for trips and special outings, because of the ongoing need for content!

  

3)  What other pursuits do you have?

Amateur crimefighting, psychotherapy, and stand-up comedy (more details can be found on my blog page).  You will sometimes find me serving as a model for my human's art projects.  I am also a passionate meatatarian (see next question).  

4)  What is your favorite food and favorite thing to do?

Those familiar with my blog will know that my #1 favorite food is bacon.  However, I love most meat-based products.  My human and I visited a beef jerky outlet some time ago, and it was hard to get me to leave.... 

My favorite activities are traveling, watching movies, or just hanging out with the other members of my pack--Patch, Spunky, and Grandpa Angus!

Thanks Droopy for the great interview! Will YOU be next in the Stuffie Spotlight? Stay tuned!

Sinjin's Bearthday Present

Perhaps you might remember my friend Sinjin the sock monkey.  Here is a picture of us if you forgot what he looked like:

Sinjin's bearthday is coming up soon so I am going to send him a little present.  I thought he might like some art prints of himself.

I am going to put these prints in a frame.

First I need to tape them carefully to the back so they don't slip or slide.  Tapes likes to stick to stuffie paws.

Next, I am going to write a short message on the back of the frame and sign my name.

There!  Doesn't that look nice?

I think these prints look just like Sinjin.

Now I have to package the picture frame for mailing.  I found some bubble wrap and began unraveling it.

It was a little bit tricky to get the bubble wrap to lie flat.

Hmm... I think I may need some help here.

While my mom helped me wrap the picture frame, I played with the bubble wrap and popped the bubbles!  POP POP POP!

To make the package a little more decorative, I am going to tie it with some ribbon.

Oh dear... it seems like I am not having much luck today.  I guess everyone has those days when nothing seems to go right.

My mom helped me tie the ribbon around the package.

Then I got a big box to put the package in.

I put some more bubble wrap and crumpled newspaper in there for extra padding.

Hey, I think there might be room for me in this box.  Then I can make a surprise visit to Sinjin!

My mom said she would not want to risk losing me in the mail so I got out of the box and taped it closed.  Then I tried to push it to the post office, but it was too heavy for me.  ERGHHHH!!

"Hey Ajdin," Uncle Tibbs said as he was walking by.  "Do you need some help?"

He pushed the heavy box easily with his big bear paws.  It's nice to have big bear help, isn't it?  I hope Sinjin likes his present!

Meet my friend Sinjin

I would like you to meet my friend Sinjin.  Sinjin is a monkey, a sock monkey to be exact.  I met Sinjin for the first time when his mom was visiting my mom.  I saw a long dangling tail sticking out of his mom's bag and then went over to say hello and introduce myself.  We became instant friends.  Here is a picture of us.

Sinjin and I still keep in touch even though he moved far away.  I hope we can hang out again soon just like old times.  Good friends, bears or non-bears, are worth more than 100 jars of honey.  Now you know how much I do love honey, so that means quite a lot.
