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!

The Thesis Has Landed

Finally, our girl's thesis, the bane of our existence these past months, has landed in the hands of those who have to read it. All we can say is thank doG! Now all she has is the defense this Friday, and any edits she may need to do (which she hopes will not be many). Thankfully we are no longer seeing this look on Merv's face. (He was HATING thesispalooza even more than we were!)

We've all been spending a LOT of time doing this...

and this.

Stella spent a lot of the time during thesispalooza having Merv give her pawdicures.

We also spent a lot of time like this (waiting for our girl to take a break to let us out).

We hope to be spending more time like this ~ wrasslin', snasslin', and romping around outdoors. Now that our girl is back in the land of the living, we plan to be around more to catch up with everybody!

The goobs are BACK!

Love,

Stanley

Thesispalooza

For the next week we here in GooberStan will be occupying ourselves with the business of finishing my girl's thesis. She has to have the whole thing to her committee by next Friday, April 17th. (Her defense is on the 24th.)

Stella is doing her bit to keep our girl focused.

And, since our puter died this past week, I have gotten rid of this old behemoth and installed a new laptop in the office.

We're working hard to get our girl to the finish line. (Our girl promised to mention us in her acknowledgements. She better.)

Since we won't be around much at all this week, we're going to leave you with some extra cheesy and gooberrific photos of us to stave off GWS (Goober Withdrawal Syndrome).

Goober love from the thesis supervisor,

Stanley

Pee Ess

For inquiring minds who want to know, Stella gets her stitches out tomorrow (Monday the 13th). My girl says she will take photos!
