Christmas card photos

It's that time of the year again where I get to sit a lot of photoshoots. But this year it's extra special because we are hosting the gang's Christmas party. You know... "THE" Christmas Party!

So, I was told to send my best Christmas picture so they can put it in the invite. I'm sending these four. Which one do you think they'll pick?

Ahh! Ahh!... Rudolph, My hat is gonna fall off. Poke it a bit with your horn, please.

Pshew! It's sure hard to be a celebrity.
chuckles from the crowd... - dream on!

Ooops! I know... I'm well hung... so don't look southwards.

Buddy (The Aftermath)

Battlefield.

Otso!
Uhmmm... yes?

What happened here?
Huh?!?... What happened what?

No harm done here... I just scored by a nose! Now we want to rest, thank you.

By the way, if we are not going yet and you are not too busy can you please clean up the mess before meeMel comes home? Just give us a few minutes and then we'll be ready for walk.

Buddy (Pt.2)

Okay then, if we're not going out yet, Buddy and I will just play first.

Tickle-tickle Buddy...

Yarrr!

Yarrr! Yarrr!

Buddy (Pt.1)

I love listening to music... and chilling out with friends.

This here is my buddy. I named him Buddy so he will not get confused.

Buddy says he wants to come with us when we go for walk.

Where's Otso?

Otso!

Otso!

Hurmmph... I'm not answering.

Let them look and look and look for me.

I've asked... I've begged... I've done everything so they'd update my blog. But nada! So... Otso's gone to Woop-woop.

Until then, I'll sunbake till I turn into a mound!

Three Musketeers

Hiya, neighbours!

Hmmnn... where's Aramis?

Oh, there you are... Athos, Porthos and Aramis. ( :-> Not!)

Otso: So how are things with you guys today?
Athos: Oh well, same-old same-old.
Porthos: Wanna hear me sing my new song, Otso?
Otso: I'd love to... wanna sing while we walk?

Aramis: If only we can traverse this grills, we'll come with you and sing all the way. Anyway, enjoy your walk, alright?
Otso: Alright then, bye for now. See you when I see you !

No way !!!

There's no way I'm gonna fall for that! I'm no bludger. I work for the food I eat. I have to do some chores first before I get fed.

No.1 on the list of "To-do-before-eating" is to "Sit" and "Shake Hands". Then followed by whatever tasks they want me to do. I know what to do when I'm asked to 'Say Please', 'Look at me!', 'Kiss', 'Speak', 'Bow your head and pray', 'Play Dead', 'Turn around', 'Turn the other way', 'Step Back', and many more. The end of my chore is when they have set me "Free!" and tells me to finish my food.

So,... Nope! I'm not gonna fall for that. You can leave the room and set that camera for all I care. I can smell the hotdog but I know better. It's a trap that would send me out of the house for yonks !!!

But I'll let you in on a secret. Can you see those yellow capsules in the pots?

Those are fish oil capsules that run out of date, and my 'play smart' humans decided to put these capsules to good use and placed some on each pot plants.

I love them !!! - enuff said.

NOTE:
To my mate - Moose,
Is it okay to change those cookies into capsules so I can still post the award here on my blog?

wink! wink! Just trying...

Dear God

Hey Bro', your secret is safe with me... so you can tell me what you're praying for.

Wii !!!

Otso singing:
I'm swimming in the lake....
Just swimming in the lake...
I'm so happy and gay.
Swimming... swimming... in the lake!

Uh-oh! It's best to get a move on now. Mr & Mrs Swan are closing in.

Okay, Okay, Okay! I'm outta here.

Do you think Mr & Mrs Swan are upset with me again?

Oh well,... I'll wait here in front of their home till they arrive and I'm gonna tell them they should share the lake with me. Meanwhile, I'll think of an offer they cannot refuse !

Ssshh...

I've had a little bit too much...

But I'm coming... promise.

Just give me two more minutes.... two more minutes, please.
Ngorrk,... Zzzz,... pshew!

Demand & Supply

Today, I will show you where I usually busk for balls. The guys here... they have gazillions of balls! And they can get very finicky with their balls (-no pun intended).

So, whenever my ball is already chomped out-of-service, I just come here,... and walk to and fro,... to and fro,... do some sits,... and drops,... and shake hands,...speak a little,...

And Voila! Bola from heaven.

Like this ball here... they are saying that it is unbalance and uncontrollable. I don't mind my balls bouncing everywhere. 'Cause then, they start behaving like a Kong, which is my all time favorite !

But the players here like their balls serious, I guess.

So, there... that's the principle of demand & supply. Just go to your local tennis courts for fresh supply of clean and crispy tennis balls.

Too-loo-loo! I'm off to play ball now. Thank you to all my sponsors.

At the lake...

I was strolling along and enjoying my day... and everywhere I look there were - Ducks !

Ducks everywhere !!!

Huh ?!? ... Duck ???

Nahhh! Almost a duck, but not quite.

Then, all of a sudden a booming voice.

Mr. Black Swan: Hey, you! Big Yellow Dog !
Otso: Yes, Mr Black Swan?

Mr. Black Swan: Lemme zhell you sumpzhing... You zon't go shwimming in my lake, you hear?

Zon't even zhink about it. Zhis here is my lake, and zhese are my compadres, comprende?

Mr. Black Swan: Now, movez along!

Otso: Hurmphh! Grumpy old swan... good day to you, too!

Otso singing teasefully: I'm not listeni-hing !!! Nyeh-nyeh-nyeh-nyeheh ! Blah-blah-blah-blahhah!
