Celebrity Grandpuppies!

"Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies." -Gene Hill

Andy Warhol predicted that everyone would get their 15 minutes of fame sometime. At just 3 months, Ernie (Webb's beagle) and Bodie (Anna's beagle) snatched up more fame in one day than some of us will see in a lifetime!

On Monday, which happens to be Anna's birthday (same day as Brent's birthday), Webb cleverly arranged for Ernie and Bodie to be the featured dogs on "The Daily Puppy."

I had never heard of The Daily Puppy website but I'm the odd man out. Apparently, it's a popular website. So popular that throughout the day over a hundred people made ooh and ahh comments gushing over the adorable beagles. And Ernie and Bodie received over 4000 votes. But I still can't figure out what the votes were for. Prom King? Puppy of the Year?

The comments people made were classic! Readers of "The Daily Puppy" are serious dog lovers! I had no idea people were so passionate about dogs and I had no idea my grandpuppies were so beloved! Next time they come to Los Gatos, I might actually have to let them inside the house! Daily Puppy readers would be appalled that I banished such darling dogs to the garage!

The puppy feature included photos along with a little endorsement write up from the owners. I've included our celebrity pups CV (curriculum vitae) below:

"Bodie and Ernie have brought an immeasurable amount of joy into our lives. Their constant curiosity and excitement for life is beautiful and contagious. Besides their cute appearances, they also have the most incredibly charismatic and endearing personalities. They love meeting every dog and every person they see and just want to shower them with love and kisses. When not sleeping, Bodie loves to incite games of play fighting with his generally more peaceful and calm brother, Ernie. But at the end of the day (and many times throughout the day), they love curling up together and cuddling while they sleep." -Webb Knudsen
