Week of Celebrating Disney Dogs: Day 5

Day 5: Celebrating Puppy Love

…And they call it, Puppy Love. Or, as in the classic (yet, nearly deleted!) scene, Bella Notte 🙂

Lady and Tramp spaghetti

The classic poor-guy-rich-girl-meet-and-fall-in-love plot line couldn’t be cuter. The furry couple are responsible for thrusting a moonlit spaghetti dinner into the #1 most romantic evening spot! Okay, that might be going a little too far, but if you haven’t seen the beautiful scene in a while, take a look and be reminded as to why this moment is so iconic!

And let’s not forget these two spotted dogs!

Thanks to the persistent Pongo, a small family was formed to include his love, Perdita, and their humans, Roger and Anita. We all know that the family of four grew much larger after a thrilling expedition to save their beloved pups.

Week of Celebrating Disney Dogs: Day 2

Day 2: Celebrating Disney’s Fancy Dogs!

Some Disney pups are born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Take, for example, this guy:

percy

Percy from Pocahontas

Is Percy not the epitome of fancy? The feathered hat, the gold-trimmed pillow, and that wave! So regal, so posh, don’t you agree? While Percy was raised in the proper English form, his visit to the New World pushed the dapper doggie into unknown territory, where he met up with some more rambunctious animals, like Meeko for instance. This clash of worlds will take the edge off Percy and with the help from his new friends, he begins to open his mind to other things, even if they aren’t brought to him on a silver platter!

Georgette from Oliver & Company

Have you listened to her song? Have you seen her fancy hair and gold necklace? Georgette is truly a fancy dog. Actually, she takes it to the next level! This girl is spoiled and jealous of any one possibly having more than she has. Her own designated bedroom apparently isn’t enough for this fabulous lady. While she does soften up after the Oliver adventure, the air about her never goes away. Perfect isn’t easy… but it’s me – oh, come on!

Trusty-and-Jock

Jock and Trusty from “Lady and the Tramp”

Okay, now I know some people might be wondering why these two fall under Fancy dogs. Well, I was thinking of my definition of fancy, and it does tend to correlate with “rich”. Jock and Trusty do live in a affluent neighborhood, and by the looks of the patios they reside on, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have eaten more expensive food then I have! Can’t you just imagine Jock sitting down to a meal of caviar while Trusty explains the history of rich French food? I can. And while they are without the overtly snobby attitudes such as Percy and Georgette, Jock and Trusty do turn their noses up at the sight of the ragamuffin Tramp. Yeah, they’ve got a little snob in them after all!

Spring has officially come to the Northeast!

Flower & Garden Festival

Flower & Garden Festival

After a long, cold, dreary, snowy, icy, windy, ugly winter that held on for dear life well into May, I am happy to announce that we have had over a WEEK of nice, warm weather. And with that, I hereby announce that spring has won the battle and is here to stay… for a couple of months at least :/

Green is a good color for Stitch!

What got me through the gray and chilly days? Pictures of Walt Disney World’s amazing horticulture, specifically the artful displays set out during the Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot. I hope to attend someday, but the wonderful internet fed my need for “pretty things”. And now that the weather is warmer, I’m in a new (better) place, and things are settling down, I thankfully won’t need to stare at a computer screen to enjoy the flowers. So in honor of our (temporary) departure – that being myself and my Google search full of flowers – I give you one final look before I get outside!

Lady and the Tramp - Love the collar!

Get a look at that shiny collar.

But now, you can find other more obscure characters, ones that wouldn’t necessarily have been available when I was a kid. Like Bullseye from Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3.

Bullseye Plush

Woody’s best friend would make a great toy for baby 🙂

Or Archie the Scare Pig from Monsters University.

Don’t even THINK about tossing my Archie!

How about a baby version of the Tick-Tock Crocodile from Peter Pan.

Baby Tick-Tock plush

OMG so cute!

I would urge you to visit the website. The collection far exceeds the Mickey Mouse or Pooh Bear and Friends collections that I grew up with. *I still love them*

This unbelievable selection would almost be a crime to miss with such a great deal!

I’m still waiting for my Mufasa plush…

Oh come on! You would be absolutely adorable!
