MAVERICK

Bonjour mes amis,

Je suis enceinte!!!! I AM PREGNANT!!! See I told you!!! A girl knows these things.

Wow, I have a lot of planning to do. Names to pick out, showers to plan, I need to get the nursery going....Wait a minute, Oh I forgot...The nursery is in use at the moment....Come on you silly Labradors, hurry up and Grow Up! I need your box....OK OK, I will calm down. I guess you guys can have it for a few more weeks. I won't need it for awhile. I will be needing my beauty rest, SO, I will have my Minions (my staff & Loyal Subjects) take care of all the details when needed.

I would like to introduce you to my beloved Maverick. He is the father of my soon to be children. NOW... I must tell you...and I am a little embarrassed about it, BUT...I have never met him in person. This was an arranged marriage...OK, well I guess it really was not a marriage, BUT A....ahh,I won't get into details now....(maybe later)

This was my first Introduction to Maverick, also know as, BIS, BISS Ch Cosmic Goldstorm Cowboy Hardware. Isn't that the coolest name EVER!!!!

This Is Me & Maverick

We met at The Vet Clinic (were that nice lady named Mary lives)

Here is Maverick being shown at a Golden Retriever National Specialty. He is being Handled by his breeder Dianne. Maverick is owned by some really nice people, their names are Barney & Sandra. They all live in Texas, ya all. Hey, maybe I will have Cowboys and Cowgirls!

I have more pics of my handsome Dude that I would like to show you, but I need my staff to help me download them. Rio would help but she is busy with her babies at the moment. So I will have to show them to you later...ya all.... I JUST LOVE SAYING THAT! hmmmm, I wonder what else those Texans say? One of my staff has a cousin that lives in Texas, I wonder if he knows Mav?

Well, I better go take my nap, I am feeling a little tuckered out.

bon au revoir,

Princess Merlot

Today Is The Day

Bonjour mes Minions,

Today is the big day The Staff finds out that I am "With Children" Like I said in my previous blog, I already know I am. But you know those humans, for some reason they need to spend the money and have someone else tell them what I already know. Just look at me....I have that Glow ;o)

If I am PG, then I think The Staff is going to have to Celebrate! Here is the Champagne I was named after. But, I will just have a bowl of water please, no drinking in my condition.

This is a very old picture of me, when I was just over a year old. I really have not changed that much. I'm still very young looking, I still look like a puppy, no wrinkles, no gray hair, no botox and Of course NO PLASTIC SURGERY.

Gotta Go, The Staff is calling me. It's time to go see that nice man named Dr. Pierce.

I will let you know...

bon au revoir

BARK, BARK, BARK

Hi, Sorry it's been so long since my last blog, I have been very busy keeping a real close watch on Rio's little hunters. Here I am watching the little guys nursing, I just love the noises they make, they sound like a squeaky toy. And I see she has alot of toys in the nursery. I sure would like one of those toys. Maybe later I will sneak in there and steal one, they would never know, they are just Labs. I could hide it for my babies, which reminds me... I sure hope I am PG, that would be soooooo wonderful.

You know, that kind of puts me in the decorating mood, I think I will decorate my nursery in my most favorite colors...Merlot and Pink...Those colors of course are Princess colors. I also wonder if I could move MY nursery to another part of the house? I sure would like a nice scenic view for my babies. I will have to discuss this with My Staff, maybe set up a Board meeting for later so we can discuss the finer details. And I think I need to come up with a name for my staff, Rio has Crew Rio. hmmmm, I will have to think about this one.... BARK, BARK, BARK , should be something French...maybe?????

I think I have been looking a little scraggly these days, so I have made an appointment for a Day At The Spa this weekend. I am going to get a manicure and a pedicure. I will have my hair washed, blow dried, fluffed and trimmed. Maybe I should get a Foil or have an all over Color, what do you think?..hummmm, I wonder how I would look as a Red Head?

The Staff told me that I was too pretty already and I should just stay... Au NATURAL. We will see...I do what I want! BARK, BARK, BARK...

I guess next Tuesday is the day I find out if I am "with children" HA! I already know, I don't know why The Staff doesn't just ask me, I am the one with the morning sickness, I get silly at times and I am tired and need to take extra beauty naps and of course I AM SO HUNGRY! Now I know why Rio is so famished all the time. I hear she gets extra food and extra snacks....OH, I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!!!! Yippee Skippy!!!! food, food, food...BARK, BARK, BARK!!! Dance, Dance, Dance, Bark, Bark, Bark, squeak, squeak, squeak.... Sorry, I get carried away at times when it comes to food ;o)

BARK, BARK, BARK
au revoir,
Princess Merlot

Mon nom est Merlot

Mon nom est Merlot, je suis un Retriever D'or. Soyezbienvenus a mon blog...

My name is Merlot, I am a Golden Retriever. Welcome to my blog.

I have been studying French. I am also a French Princess. A French Princess??? You ask??

When I was born, I was named after a very fancy wine...Merlot and a French Champagne...A very Expensive French Champagne, Perrier Jouet. SO OF COURSE, I must be French! I also am a Princess, since I get my way most of the time, and I am usually pampered and fluffed, and if I don't get my way, I just Bark and Bark until I get the attention I deserve. Oh, I am also a French Ballerina. I will show you later, my dance routine.

If you have been reading my Lab sister Rio's blog you know that I have filled in for her when she went into the delivery room. The 10 little hunters are all doing good. But, I am alittle miffed. I hear them squeak all the time and see them from time to time, but I am not allowed to play with them...WELL! of all the nerve, me being The Princess and all, I just don't understand. SO, yesterday I did sneak in there and had a little peak, but not much of a peek because I got scooted out really fast. And then the funnest thing was said to me...."You just wait Merlot, you will have this nursery in a couple of months"! Huh! I wonder what that meant???? You, don't think???? I am???? Naw.....or could it be....I AM WITH CHILDREN TOO????? Yikes! hummmm??? I don't remember??? I really don't recall any kind of romance with any handsome young man???? Let me think...Maybe that is why I kept going to the clinic to meet with that nice lady named Mary and then I do remember that nice man named Dr. Jim....And!!!!! WOW, I remember now...well, vaguely. Geeee...I didn't even get to enjoy it ;o)

OK....COOL!!! I'm Cool, I'm Cool...I like being a Mother....I wonder how to say Mother in French? I am so excited!!! WHAT???? Oh, I was told that they are NOT sure yet if I am PG, I will have to wait another week...OH I HATE WAITING....I want to know NOW! OK OK, If I have to wait, I guess I have too....geee, I hate waiting!

Well, better go, it is getting late and for some reason I have been very tired lately. I can hardly keep my eyes open.

Good night,

Princess Merlot
