Triumph!

So, you may be wondering how that whole thesis thing went, huh? Well, this is me, all excited that my girl is finally DONE with her stinkin' thesis! Yes. Thesispalooza has come to an end.



On Friday afternoon, while my girl was still doing her thesis defense, some flora of unknown origin arrived at our house. Aren't they GORGEOUS?




Stella was very much into smelling the flowers...




from every angle.




I was actually more interested in eating them! (Don't worry. My girl didn't let me deface her F.O.T. ~ Flowers Of Triumph)!




The card said the flowers were from all of our friends in the blogosphere, but a little goober told us that Scruffy, Lacie & Stan's Mumsie was the one responsible for making it happen! (Our girl actually cried when she read the card.) Mumsie, you will be getting some goob lovin' directly from me in a few weeks! You totally made our girl's day! She was feelin' the love.




Stella & I have both been giving our girl extra S.N.O.T (SNuggles Of Triumph) these last few days. She was one worn out puppy!




We're extra proud too because she was awarded honors for her thesis, and she gave credit to Stella, Merv, and I for our part in helping as her writing partners! It was right there in print ~ saw it with my own eyes!






Our celebration has only just begun, and what better way to help us kick it off than with some Punk music for deviant dogs from my buddy, Murphy, and his mama's store Punk Rock Dogg?! Is this not the coolest stinkin' CD you've ever seen?! The songs got us all howling along to that driving beat while our girl did her Slam Dance of Triumph (S.D.o.T.) through the house a few times! Thanks, Murph! You really did us a solid by sending that CD. My girl was totally DYING that she couldn't get her hands on one! Smooches to your mama too! She's very cool to think of my girl!



And now, we want to share some of that love we're feeling with a new buddy we met through Facebook.







This cute pupgirl is Autumn. She's a rescue Lakie like Stella. She was recently rescued from being a baby machine in a puppy mill, and she just spent her first birthday in freedom with her furrever family! She's four now, so please go over to her blog and wish her a happy birthday and welcome her to the blogosphere!


She's learning all about how to be a carefree dog from her catbro and her new mom. Doesn't she look like Stella & Lacie? We're so excited we found her!





Full of goober love, triumph, and celebration,
Stanley & Stella







More later about my birthday and some special stuff coming up soon! Thanks for all the birthday love you sent my way! I totally felt it!

Stanley, Those flowers are really nice. Maybe if mom gets her phd in a hundred and fifty years, Lacie's mumsie will send her some flowers. I'm sure I'll still be around.

Your girl is super awesome to get those honours. My mom says that's really cool. I don't know anything about it since I wasn't here yet when mom did her last defense.

Consequently, I'm not really sure what to make of this phDog idea she has. Basically, she is transfering all her course work done toward a second masters into a phDog, and rather than writing another thesis, she is going straight to work on a research proposal for a PhDog.

She says it makes way more sense, but I don't really know what that means for me. You can tell me all about it in NY, but I'm also thinking that perhaps you should send Merv out to mentor me through the process and, well, to live in sin with me.

My mom is getting so excited about meeting you. She really hopes you will hug her like you hug your mom. Will you? Will you?

P.S. Don't hug me though. I get a little mad about the hug. If I feel like it, I might chew on your head and we can play bitey face, but absolutely no hugging allowed.
