This weekend at camp features the Gus man, who has become quite the regular, as well as two newbs: Diego the Cat and sweet Drover, the year old Welsh terrier.

The Gus!

The Drover!

Camp Becky loves when we get new campers. This week, Camp Becky welcomes the dynamic duo of Blurry and Meow. These two adorable canines belong to a Creative Department colleague. These are some of the best behaved pooches to sit around the campfire. However, much to my dismay, they refused to spoon with me overnight.

Meet Blurry (who became known as Blur-bear and Blurberry during her stay at Camp Becky) and Meow (whose name became any iteration of saying “Meowmeowmeowmeowmeow” as quickly as possible).

A scene from my kitchen Friday morning:

Bars, babies, and pooches

The tri-fecta: drinking a beer while staring at a cute baby (I don’t hold babies much) and playing with an array of pooches on a bar patio. Thank you, Neon’s!

A few weeks ago, Neon’s re-opened in Over-the-Rhine, conveniently in the backyard of my office. They had a reopening celebration on Good Friday, which I attended with some colleagues and friends, accompanied by their babies and puppies. A stellar way to spend a day off, I say.

Here are a few shots of some of the event, including some sweet baby-on-pooch action.

Gus was reallllly into this lady-pup.

This pup’s expired!

Gus remembered to bring his cute.

Thank you, Neon’s for being pooch-friendly. Dog lovers and friends of Camp Becky, please ignore the nay-sayers. Pup-friendly Neon’s will be a hot spot for Camp Becky this summer.

Gus and Gumby

Well if this doesn’t make your heart go pitter-patter, I’m not sure what will.

Now where is Pokey?!

Yup, yup, Gus Gus

Ohhhhh boy. Sound the alarms. We’ve got another one.

Imagine, if you will, a very stressful meeting at the office. The kind that makes you want to pull your hair out or punch yourself in the face. That kind. Imagine walking out of that meeting to have your stress instantly melted away by this:

Meet Gus.
Yeah, sorta like Gus Gus from Cinderella. You remember him…

As though to torture me with cute, another colleague of mine at the Creative Department adopted this tiny, adorable masterpiece of fur and puppy breath. Gus is a 6 week old golden retriever.

Have you ever seen a puppy on a tubble? No? This is what it looks like:

Perhaps cuter… a puppy sleeping on a tubble…

Office Puppy Party!

Becky — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:08:30 +0000

One of the things I loved about working at Barefoot Proximity was the open pooch policy. That is how I met many of the campers. When I switched jobs and came over to The Creative Department, I was flanked with pooch loving colleagues here as well, but one of our partners is allergic to pups so there is no open pooch policy.

But when the allergy-ridden boss is away, the pups will play!

Today, there are three delightful little canines gracing our wooden floors:

Penny, the adorable baby King Charles Spaniel

Chloe, the 10 year old Airdale Terrier (she does NOT look nor act like a 10 year old pooch!)

And Porter, the 2 year old Cocker Spaniel

It has been a hard day at work for these pups.

Begging for food…

Checking out everyone’s desks… (look at that BUTT! No tail!!!)

Sniffing each other…

Playing…

Following…

And, of course, napping…

Motion Blur

Becky — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:19:58 +0000

Granted the majority of the photos I take of the campers are with my iPhone (some jackhole broke into my car and stole my purse, including my good camera back in January), so the quality is never that superb. I have been somewhat impressed with the quality of photos coming off of my 3Gs, but this kind of motion blur can only mean one thing…

…PUPPY! Cute, puppy breath, can’t sit still, tiny, energetic PUPPY!

Meet Penny.

Penny belongs to a colleague of mine at The Creative Department.

Penny is an 12ish week old King Charles Spaniel.

But most importantly, Penny is AH-DOR-AH-BLAY.

Do you wanna riiiide in the backseat of my Beetle?

What is it about puppies and cars? I have noticed that each pooch rides differently.

Hannah is skittish and nervous so she drools all over everything and whimpers.
Wilson sits in the back seat and stuffs his face between the headrest and the window to poke his nose out.
Archie has to sit on a blanket or a towel, especially in a car with captain chairs, so he has some stability.
Rex does a complete gangsta lean out of the window.
Thurber can’t sit still.
Andy has awful sea legs and kinda flails all over.

Regardless of the dog and their riding style, I have always thought it a hysterical sight to see these adorable pups rollin in a Volkswagen Beetle.

Rex gets a backseat butt rub from Aunt Amy

Andy looks wasted in the front seat (good thing he wasn’t driving).

Thurber got carsick.

(not really – he was just yawning).

Good thing I just had the Buggie super detailed… So much for the lack of fur. But this cuteness makes it okay.
