Ode to Puppy Bear

Todays post is dedicated to our beloved Pepsi:

Pepsi turns 12 years old today:

Bill picked her about 10 1/2 years ago from Guide Dogs of the Dessert.

She was a “flunky.”

She has never been a flunky to us:

We call her many names

  • Pepsi girl
  • Cola bear
  • Puppy bear
  • P-cake

and Pepsi!

Happy Birthday Pepsi-girl!

We love you :)

Do you have any pets bloggies?

Happy Earth Day!

    She looks so sweet! Happy Birthday!We have a 9 1/2 yr old rescued great dane mix. He is the best dog we have ever had. Will guard my children to the death, but is gentle enough to let me put my hand in his food bowl while eating. He is so spoiled he has not only a giant cushion to sleep on but 2 blankets and a pillow as well. If he could he’d have his own twin bed.

    Happy Birthday Pepsi!!!

    Wow! 12 years old! That is so cool that you have had Pepsi with you for all those years. She looks good – not much gray.

    I have 2 labs who are just over a year old. I sure hope they stay with me for a long time, too.

  3. Awww Happy Birthday Pepsi! She looks like such a sweetie.

    We don’t have any pets…well, not if you don’t count the mouse we caught this morning…sigh…

  6. What a sweet looking girl. I have 2 Cocker Spaniels – both rescues. Isn’t if funny how we call them all sorts of crazy made up names?!
    Heath gets called: Heath Man, Heathy, Bubba, Bubsy Bubby Man

    Madeline gets called: Maddie, Madness the Badness, Maddy Mad Mad (and sometimes a few choice words I shall not mention)

    Awww Happy Birthday Pepsi! She looks so great, I can’t believe she’s 12 years old!

    I have a Bernese Mountain Dog at home that I completely adore. He’s featured in my about me page :)

    I have an old cat. He was my mother’s and I inherited him when she passed. He’s got long black fur and green eyes. His name is Smokey Joe He’s very affectionate and sleeps curled up next to me. I love animals.

  9. wow!! Pepsi so doesn’t look 12!! you go girl! Sawyer is my baby and he is 5.5. Chocolate lab.. staring at me right now as i write. I hope he looks half as good as pepsi when he hits her age!!!

  10. I have so many names for my cat. It is cute how we seem to call our pets by nicknames more often than their real name. Oh, and you are one loved blogger, those are some amazing goods you received!

  11. Happy Birthday to the pupster! I grew up with cats and we even had one live to be 20! I want to get a dog as soon as I’m living in a place with a yard

  12. My parents have two cats (that I consider to be my pets too.) Beatrice and Irvin. I love my babies!

  13. Nancy says:

    Gorgeous little puppers. Wouldn’t expect her to be 12! My dog was gray at age 8 (and was put down in February).

    Pepsi. Love that name. What a sweetheart!

    Also, what does Flunky mean for the dog? lol

  14. Happy birthday Pepsi!

    We have 1 cat. Would have more but for hubby being allergic.

  15. Cindy says:

    oh my GOSH….I had a co worker about that long ago, who was training a chocolate lab…for that same organization….and she was a “flunky”…and he let her be adopted.

    then he got a second one to train. He used to bring the puppers to work…do you remember Pepsi’s orginal name? or was that it?

    I have to ask my boss if she remembers..
    wouldn’t THAT be SOMETHING?

    Happy Birthday Pepsi! sweet lil soul!

  16. Cindy says:

    oh wow, I just asked…Forrest was the dog’s name and he finished the program and found an owner…happy as can be. Than he got another dog (same type) another male named bayou. and he was a flunky due to hip issues…and my co worker kept him.

    but it was all about the same time frame! how funny is that..and it WAS from Dogs of the Desert.
    :) Happy Thursday! it’s MY FRIDAY so I am happy

    Pepsi has 2 great parents!!!

    We just had our 2nd Betta fish funeral yesterday. Finn #2 was found floating. On to Petco to buy Finn#3.

  18. Judi says:

    One lucky dog! I love labs. I have a friend who is blind (unfortunately he lives in Ireland) and has a black lab seeing eye dog. I always thought it would be great to have one of these well trained dogs. Usually they only have them for 8 years or so.

    No dogs here yet – the kids want one though – so maybe someday. For now we have 2 cats, 11 ducks, and 14 chickens!

    Happy Birthday to Pepsi!

  19. HAPPY EARTH DAY AND PUPPYBEAR DAY! so much celebrating over at your place today!
