Brush With Greatness

We've been busy here in GooberStan lately, and we'll post more on ourselves later. But for now, here's our buddy, Tubbie. She's one fierce English Bulldog, and she's a beauty queen. Here she is in her regalia at her last pageant.






She can pull off the hula girl look like NOdog can.









Stella went to Tubbie's last pageant to cheer her on.




Here's Tubbie getting ready to go strut her stuff in front of the judges.







Meanwhile, Stella was checking out the competition.






She got a little fixated on the Weiner Dog...







... and snuck in for a nice whiff.










Stella was also able to arrange for Tubbie to meet our neighbor, Tater. He's a brindle and white Bulldog, and he's a little younger than the Tubbmeister. Stella is all about networking.










Once again, Tubbie walked away with the honors. This is her hooman handler, and they're sending a message to Tubbie's parents, who live in Hawaii. Tubbie's costume is inspired by the islands ~ since she'll be moving there herself after the holidays.


All of us here in GooberStan are going to miss our beauty queen when she moves. I think our girl will miss her most of all. She's a sucker for a smooshed up face.




That's it from the GooberStanian beauty pageant circuit for now.





Goober love,
Stanley

I have to agree that smushed up faces really are the best. I am glad you got to spend some time with such a pawesome dog before she takes off for the islands. Islands sound pretty great, except for the water part.

Hey Stanley & Stella

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Tubby is fabulous. My uncle just got a British bull dog. I wonder if he'll move to Hawaii too. I could vacation there, but I absolute refuse to wear a hula skirt. Skinny dipping only for this diva dog. Speaking of which, good work Stella!

Tubbie looks like a real sweetie! She's one lucky pup to be moving to Hawaii! There's nothing like great weather all year 'round!

Hi Stanley,
Tubbie is an absolute cutie (I hope my wife Baby doesn't see this or I'd be in HOT SOUP)..
Will you and Stella be visiting her in Hawaii? I heard that the beaches there are lovely..

Ruby Bleu said...

pee ess Mom says last time she knew Hawaii still had a 6 month quarantine for dogs from the mainland. Do they still, do you know?

William Tell said...

I'm wondering, Stanley...do you know how a dog might go about being a judge for one of those beauty pageants? 'Cause I'm thinking you and I might be just the dogs for the job. :)

Happy Tails,

Hi,

We are back from the blogging wilderness. We are now checking out what all our pals have been up to.

I (Cassidy) would have had a cracking photo for the muddiest beard the other day, but alas no camera!

Before I came to live with my mom and dad, I lived with Dottie the bulldog and I loved her.

Tubbie reminds me of her! She is certainly a beauty queen!

DogsDeserveFreedom said...

These are great photos! I found your blog linked to someone else's and thought I'd pop by for a peek. Do you mind if I link my blog to yours?

Peanut said...

Ms Tubbie is Hubba Hubba! Do you think Stella saw the short legs on that wiener dog and thought it was me in costume. (Stella--I'm a bit bigger than that. Ahem).
