This Suitcase Smells Like DOG & Airport Security Comic Relief

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! This suitcase smells funny.

KATIE:  Funny-ha-ha-funny or funny beyond-expiration-date-funny?

WAFFLES:  I don't know. What do expiration dates smell like?

KATIE:  Well I know Glogirly said she was bringing home some special swag from the BarkWorld conference. You don't suppose...

WAFFLES:  You mean like something that BARKS???

KATIE:  She wouldn't DARE. Would she???

WAFFLES: *shrugs shoulders*

KATIE: You better go in. If you don't come back out, it was nice knowing you. *heh, heh...crosses paws*

Airport Security Comic Relief

Glogirly made it home from the conference safe and sound. Apparently it was touch and go for awhile at the airport. While she was going through the giant body x-ray machine in security...you know, the one that looks like a huge tube you walk inside and the rounded glass doors slide shut?

Well she walked inside and stood on the little yellow footprints and then held her hands up in the air just like the sign inside shows. 

All of a sudden a tiny Asian woman, probably about 80 years-old and 4' tall, walked inside with her, holding her hands up high. The door slammed shut and they were both inside. Then there was that awkward "OMG, there's a little old lady in the x-ray machine with me" moment for Glogirly. 

If you don't believe us, just ask Sparkle. Her human was there and saw the whole thing. 

More To Come On BarkWorld

Be sure to check back...We'll be sharing more fun from the BarkWorld conference. Some cool stuff Glogirly learned, some fun plans she has and a swag giveaway!   

BarkWorld Day One - Dog Bones On My Pillow & Fashion Faux Paws

FLAT WAFFLES:  Hey, Flat Boss?

FLAT KATIE:  Waffles, you don't have to call me FLAT Boss. Just Boss is fine.

FLAT WAFFLES:  Um, okay. Hey Boss?

FLAT KATIE:  What is it?

FLAT WAFFLES:  So why did they leave us these dog bones on our pillows? What are we supposed to do with them?

FLAT KATIE:  *sigh*  Why don't you go see if you can pawn these off on someone? There are plenty of DOGS around here. And while you're at it, turn off the lights on your way out. I can't seem to get any shuteye here.



BarkWorld Day One - Fashion Finds
Today was Day One at the BarkWorld Conference & Expo. Glogirly was up at 4:00am to get ready for her flight. I bet she's DOG tired. Get it?

I'm a little worried she didn't pack appropriately. My guess is she's feeling a tad underdressed. In fact these dogs look like they just walked off the cover of...well, the cover of something.

 Meet Sophia Loren. I guess she wears her sunglasses at night.

This pair of schnauzers knows that all it takes to go from day to evening is a simple strand of pearls. 

Wait a minute...are those "man pearls" on Mister Schnauzer???

Oh my. We have no words. How will Glogirly EVER compete???

Special thanks to BarkWorld and our generous sponsor, Petco! They've made Glogirly's trip and today's fashion spread possible.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for more fun -  LIVE from BarkWorld.

Hi everyone, Katie here.

You know, you just can't get good help these days.  Remember the tee shirt design I made for Glogirly to submit to BlogPaws?  Well, thanks to your comments, I realized SHE actually put the WRONG DATES on the tee shirt. That's about as stupid as forgetting how to spell your name or where you hid the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

I thought all was lost until I went to the BlogPaws website and discovered the BlogPaws angels had extended the tee shirt deadline to tomorrow.  Phew.  I dodged a bullet and Glogirly dodged a big wet hairball on her pillow.

In addition to the date discrepancy,  I loved Sparkle's idea of having more animals.  So we killed off a dog (no great loss) and tossed in a rabbit, ferret and a bird.

I'm going to watch my back with that ferret.  But the bird and rabbit...well, let's just say I have *plans* for them.
