Pig Pie Birthday Contest - Great Fun

 

Over at It's A Ruff Life, instead of being at Beckingham Grange or out on a case at work, I enjoyed a sleep over at Ben's house.  It was his birthday the other day and a small group of us got together to celebrate.  We had a fun filled night; it started with an air hockey competition, which was fast and furious, then we went go carting for a couple of hours.  It was a good job that there were lot's of rubber tyres surrounding the track as some of the hair pin bends were tricky and each of us nearly tipped over.  We finished off at Ben's house having a 'pig pie contest.

A pig pie contest is not for the faint hearted.  Bella would freak out at the thought of it, which let's face it would be great fun to see.  In fact I might just bring her along to one, under a false pretext of course, just to see what she would do.

Ben had prepared the room, which was a good thing.  He had put a plastic cover over the floor and had and taped it up the walls.  By now you must be thinking what on earth is a pig pie contest, it sounds more like the preparation for a crime scene than a fun activity.

We arrived at Ben's house and he led us all, 6 dogs, to the specially prepared room.......

What is your favourite Christmas Game?

At Beckingham Grange over at It's a Ruff life things are getting really exciting as we get ready for Christmas.  The tree is now nicely decorated, thanks to ME, I'm Bella by the way.  Seasmus has been baking trays of hot mince pies for us to take out on our annual Christmas carol singing to the local elderly community projects tonight.  It's something that Lord Alfred does every year.  It's always a fun time as I get lots of attention.

I've just remembered I need to decide what games we are going to play over Christmas.  My fav game is Challenj - it is the funniest game ever.  I'm going to get Max to play so that he can make a fool of himself when he can't do the challenges. Yey Christmas I love it!

What Christmas games do you like to play? Let us know, they might be games we've never heard of.

Secret Santa at It's a Ruff Life

 

Over at It's a Ruff Life things are getting really exciting.  Today we had secret Santa at the Doglet Academy.  I bought a gift for Louise and wrapped it in the most amazing paper ever; it was a picture of the most expensive perfume you can buy - a touch of class or what!

We all had to gather in the hall at lunchtime and they even had Santa come to deliver not just the secret Santa gifts, but also proper Santa gifts that he brought for each one of us.  It was very 'bellasome!'.

I was so excited when Santa called out my name.  I danced up to the stage and jumped about a bit while I waited for my presents to be given to me.  I bet I'll be disappointed, I thought.  I'll have to practice my, this is the most wonderful thing I've ever received face.

Santa passed me a gift that was wrapped in newspaper that only had the sports coverage on the front; who in their right mind would wrap My gift in grotty newspaper?  My enthusiasm dropped to the minus scale. 

Precariously I opened my gift but it was fabulous a paw pad card for buying my fav music.  Santa's gift was way more ordinary - It was a standard fur brush set. I can put that in a charity collection after Christmas, I thought as I carried my gifts back to my place.

We finished the afternoon off with a disco and party.

Salmon Mousse

I don't know if you know but one of my favourite foods is the fresh salmon mousse that Seamus, the chef from Beckingham Grange in it's a ruff life, makes for me.  It's 'delish'.  Well I got into an argument with Lemondrop at The Doglet Academy about who makes the best salmon mousse in the world.  I said to my, temporarily not now VBF, you wouldn't know the world's best salmon mousse if you sat in it. Any way to cut a long story short I somehow challenged her to a salmon mousse contest.  I told her that not only am I a salmon mousse tasting expert, I am also the world's top canine salmon mousse chef.  I didn't think she'd take me seriously.

I've been practicing everyday how to make salmon mousse and now I'm fed up of it and it's still another week to go before we have our big competition.

Seamus has said that he'll be on on the judging panel but so is Lemondrop's chef, so I've got to find some way of winning the competition.  I can't let Lemondrop win - I'll be the laughing stock of the school and there's no way I'm going to let that happen.

I've just had a brilliant idea - I'll slip some anchovy sauce in her mixture while she's not looking, it will make it taste really salty.
                                                       
                                                              *   *   *   *   *   *

Guess what?  My stupendous plan worked - I won the competition, I am now the official world's best salmon mousse chef, and I didn't even have the time to doctor Lemondrop's mixture - It turns out that Lemondrop forgot to bring the fresh lemon juice and apparently that made all the difference - Yey ME! Totally BELLARISH or what!

Don't forget to check out It's a Ruff Life for some of my most amazing adventures.  The book will make a great Christmas gift!
