Check this out guys! I told you my Uncle Shoyu was gonna rock you and you're about to see why. Well, maybe instead of "rocking you" he will "tango you", "salsa you", "merengue you", "samba you"!
Yes, these are Shoyu's many talents and guess why? There is Latin, Brazilian blood running through his veins and he's got rhythm! HOT! HOT! HOT!
He's Mama's brother, or my Grandma C's youngest child now and... he lives in Brazil, so we've never met. I hope to meet him some day.
Aunty H took a trip to Argentina this year and taught Shoyu some Tango moves which he quickly learned. They have chosen a beautiful tango song by Astor Piazzolla for this delightful routine they put together just for us. Enjoy!
I wish I could dance like him...one day...who knows...
Stay tuned for more dance moves with Shoyu!

Happy Halloween!
Boooooo!!
First of all, my apologies for being absent for so long. It's been hectic with so much stuff to do around the house and Mama got a bit overwhelmed with the cleaning that needs to be done but, I always help her by being a good mop and we're getting there... After doing my mopping job, I have to take a good bath.
I haven't written much lately also because Daddy is going deer hunting soon and Mommy is crazy packing, so I'm helping them pack and also packing up for myself since I'm going hunting with Daddy. That means I'll be absent again for a longer period of time(about a month)... I'll miss you all peeps!!
But, before I go on my trip to the "No Internet Land", I have to leave you guys with pictures of my very first Halloween costume! I finally convinced Mama to get one for me YAY! Check it out, BOOOOOOO!!!!( It was several sizes bigger so Mama had to adjust it with safety pins... as you can see it's not a perfect fit...) BOOOOO!!!!
It wasn't scary, was it? I'm going trick-or-treating tomorrow. I hope I get lots of candy and chocolate for Mama. Happy Halloween you all!

Hot Spot
YAAAAAAWWWWN !!!! Sorry!
Wow, this is the longest I've ever slept ! One week! Since I lied down in my bed last WW I could never get up again! Until now... I even missed yesterday's WW and didn't post anything. OOPS!
Don't know how I managed to sleep like that for so long but, I must say this bed is really cozy and comfy... I missed you guys, did you miss me too? :)
Ok, I'm pretty relaxed now and back to work, back to blogging. So, I'll tell you about one of my episodes, not one of the nicest though... Actually, one of the nastiest.
Let me begin by explaining the post's title. Hotspot and hot spot are 2 completely different things. The first is the good stuff like free internet in a public place, also called Wi-Fi. The second however, is something really bad that can happen to a woofie. So, what exactly is it and how do you get it?
Click here to find out.
So, if you took a glance at the quick explanation, you can imagine what I went through. I went to my doctor and he prescribed an ointment plus some warm towel compresses 3X a day, which I refused to have applied onto my skin and thus causing much trouble between me and Dad. I gave him a really hard time when he tried to touch me with the damn towel. It hurt! We fought each other real bad :(
The spot was in my neck area so it was really easy for me to try and bite Daddy's hand. Sorry Daddy...
It took me about a week to heal and that particular week happened to be one of the worst weeks of my life! The medicine was making me sick and I was miserable! Thank God I fully recovered from that and I haven't had another hot spot ever since!
I don't know why I got this because I'm so well taken care of but, you know, maybe one day Mama felt lazy after a walk in the rain and didn't dry me well or I could have a huge hair mat close to my skin and bacteria got underneath it. Lesson learned, now Mama combs me more often and she ALWAYS dries me with a hairdryer when we come back from a walk in the rain or snow. Well, I'm not blaming her for what happened to me; it can happen to anybody. Keep your woofies tangle and moisture free!
No more hot spots!
Look at our grooming session in the video below. I'm sooo hairy!

My acrostic tag and New cute award
According to the Websters Dictionary, acrostic is a composition usually in verse in which sets of letters (as the initial or final letters of the lines) taken in order form a word or phrase or a regular sequence of letters of the alphabet.
I was tagged by Aunty Claudia from Magia na Cozinha( Magic in the Kitchen)to write my own acrostic. Here we go:
S un. Sun, sun, sun here it comes!
U niverse. A mystery....
S uccess. Only comes before WORK in the dictionary( Ok I'm plagiarizing someone here)
H onesty. Being honest is ... openly admitting you're plagiarizing someone :) That's me!
I ntelligence. A little, a lot... everybody is intelligent and we should never under or overestimate anybody's intelligence.
How do you like this Aunty?
She also gave me this cute award below. It means: Walking together.
Thank you so much Aunty Claudia!

Walking for a good cause
Last Thursday Dad, Mama and I went to Paws Chicago, the city’s largest "No Kill" humane organization, to register for the Sunday "Run for their Lives" 4K Walk/8K Run and help Support PAWS Chicago’s mission to build a No Kill city by running or walking for homeless animals. We decided to walk because all the woofies are walking and only the 2-legged people are running.
Once inside the PAWS building, I socialized with other woofs and saw some meows too while Mom & Dad filled out their forms. As soon as they were done they lined up to get their packets. We were all really excited about it! At home we got all the goodies out of the bags and we found some stuff for me and for Mama & Dad too.
Each packet contained a long-sleeved T-shirt with this cute picture of a woofie and a meowie together, a bib, some coupons, some business(poop)bags,a magazine,a pen and other small goodies.
And these are my goodies! One from Mama's and one from Daddy's packet.
2 massive Dingos! YAAAAAY!!!
Last Sunday, Sept 28th 08 was the big day! (Only a good cause can make Mama get up early on a Sunday, and she was up at 7:30 AM!) We left the house at 8:15 AM and we already saw some traffic on Lake Shore Drive but, Daddy took a shortcut so, we didn't get stuck! Yipee!
The Walk and Run started at around 9AM but before that, there were some refreshments and coffee being served to the 2-legged participants, a few welcoming words on the main stage by someone from PAWS, a warm-up for parents and a doggie yoga warm-up at 8:30 AM that Mama made me miss for staying in bed an extra quarter of an hour... sleepy head!
Anyway, the 3 of us had lots of fun with all the different kinds and sizes of woofies around us at the line-up and while we waited to the 9:10 AM walk step-off, I played with some buddies who were about my size and one of them was like my spitting image! Scary !!
First came my "twin brother" and one more "clone".
Who's who now ???
Then came a little black and white woofie, and also a golden one to say HI!
This is a picture of me and "Regi"( I guess that was his name) He is also 3 like me. Who am I? Any guesses?
We're getting excited now! We're now walking towards the Start Line and things are not really comfortable for Mama. The woofies are getting closer and closer together and some big ones scare the hell out of her. I told her not to worry and that I was there to protect her. I have to mention here that Mama has made such a huuuuge progress in overcoming her fear of woofies, just by being amongst soooo many of them(there were about 3000)and wearing shorts!!! 3 years ago she was living in the basement at Grandma J's because she was afraid of Sammie! And now, look at you MAMA! Daddy and I are very proud and thankful that you're joining us today for this wonderful cause. THANK YOU MAMA !!!! And I am sooooo glad that I was part of this big and important change in your life. YAY!
After passing the START/FINISH line, the path got wider and there was grass and water along the way; some bits of it would get narrower again but, that was not a big deal, not too overcrowded. It was overcast and windy but, it didn't rain :)
The waves in the lake resembled the ocean and it was a truly beautiful brisk paced 4K walk we'll never forget. Maybe we'll do it again next year. We crossed the finish line after about an hour. Daddy wanted to capture that moment in a photo but, guess what happened? He couldn't, because I decided to do "business" right there!!
Hope the professional photographers or the press didn't catch that, uh-oh!! Then, later on we went back there for a picture. Sorry Mom & Dad...
Back in the F&B tents and main stage area, it was time for the ceremony with the Paws founder's address, the parade of adoptable woofies, and the awards presentation for the runners. While we watched all that, there was this guy with lots of kibbles scattered on his cardboard and I couldn't resist a little snack!
I also saw this snowball in sunglasses just like mine.
Another snowball was there too! It was the only Meow speaker I saw.
At 10:45 AM there was the Howl-o-ween costume contest and I particularly liked the
Chicken costume. I didn't participate because I'm kinda shy to go on stage however, I do want to go trick-or-treating this year and hopefully Mama will get me my first Halloween costume. Please Mama, you can have all the treats I will get!!
They couldn't pick only one winner so they had 5 winners :)
After the contest we headed home because we were staaaarving! We had a fun Sunday morning!!!!!
