This is a stick up!!!!

Oh my goodness every-bullie, where do we begin??

Flat Papster's new motto~~PAR-TAAYY!! That boy has been into all sorts of things down in the birthplace of 3D Papster! You thought that St. Paddy's Day Party was wild, just wait until you finish reading this post, that was NOTHING! And DawgMom was laughin about it! Now if I had been up to all this mischief, I would have been in Big Time-Out!

After his St. Paddy's Day shenanigans, he wanted to go Honky-Tonking, I mean he IS in Nashville, so why not Honky-Tonk? But first he had to go to work with Mama Vicki, she works at the money store.

He went to the Wild Horse Saloon

Then to the Buck Wild Saloon,

He couldn't miss the Hard Rock Cafe for a little bit of rock and roll!

He even sang back up for the King!

He went carousing around the Charlie Daniels Museum, guess he thought he should get a little education while he was there??

All that beer made him have to tee-tee real bad, so he headed out to the Parthenon to take care of business

Then went right back to singing with Mr. TCB himself, the King!

He made sure he hit up all the world famous spots, even found Tootsie's

Well, then he decided to pay homage to the Grand Ol' Opry & went to visit the Ryman.

Well, after all that carousin & bar-hoppin & singin, he musta run out of money, so the story goes he got on the phone with 3D Papster's half-sister, TraceyBelle to ask her some questions. For those that don't know, when TraceyBelle was little, she robbed the money store that Mama Vicki works for!! Flat Papster needed some info on how to do that since he ran out of money & I guess she told him how to pull it off!!

That's right folks, those Natchez Sirius kids have a bit of a Jesse James streak in them, we've tried to keep it under wraps, but some things just have a way of getting out. The Flat Papster did indeed ROB THE MONEY STORE!! He even wore a mask!!

His adventure didn't last long, they put out a BOLO on him (not Bolo our Shar-Pei friend, the other kind of BOLO) and Nashville PD was on top of it real quick!

Thank goodness Mama Vicki came to bail him out, he has lots of other places to visit. His excuse was he was robbing the money store to get more money for rescue, we're not so sure that it wasn't a little bit of both, rescue money and beer money. Guess we will never know. At any rate, after all those shenanigans, he went back for a much needed rest with 3D Papster's mama, China Doll.

Next stop~~Gimli in CT and let me tell you, Mr. Gimli has been known to be a ring leader of chaos at times, so no telling what they will get into. Hope DawgAunt Helen & her boys keep a close eye on those two.

Until next time.....

Letters from the Globe-trotting Flat Boy

Hello every-bullie! DawgMom here! I thought rather than just tell you about Flat Papster's adventures in the Land of Oz, I would just post his emails so you can read all about it in his own words.........

(With his new friends, Dash & Annie)

Email Number One:

G'day DawgMum!! Guess who? Yep, it's me... Flat Papster, woof, woof, and guess where I am? Give up? I'm at DawgUncle John and DawgAunt Sandie's farm at Moto... way, way over here at Orstraya!! I just arrived today and already I've been to visit DawgAunt Sandie's Mum and Dad (oh yeah, did ya know they say "mum" over here instead of "mom"?). We didn't take any photos at DawgAuntie Peggy and DawgUncle Ray's house 'cause DawgAunt Sandie didn't have her camera... she didn't know I'd arrived 'til she was driving out of her gates and found me hanging around her mailbox!!

But DawgAunt Sandie says not to worry 'cause they'll be taking me to a couple of places on the weekend where she can take some speshul photos to send y'all!

I think I'll like my little holiday here. There are two doggies called Dash and Annie, and a cat called Thomas... Dash and Annie seem to like him, even though he's a CAT! Can you believe that... doggies likin' a CAT, for goodness sake. But I reckon ol' Tom had better watch hisself now that The Papster's in town!!

And guess what else they got here? A whole lotta big cows and some liddle baby cows. Boy oh boy, a bully could sure have some fun chasin' that lot around!! And there's two big horseys too.

Anyway DawgMum (I think I oughta call you that while I'm over here, OK?), look out for some photos comin' thru in a coupla days. I'm gunna have a bit of rest now 'cause it was a long, long trip to get here ya know... it took me a whole 8 or 9 days! PHEW... fair dinkum, I'm dog-tired now, I can tell ya!

DawgAuntie Sandie says g'day to everyone over there and she sends big warm Aussie hugs for all my 3D bruvvers and sisters and for you and DawgDad too!!

Catcha later!

Love and licks from The Jetsettin' Flat Papster

Email Number 2:

G'day again DawgMum... the Papster here!!

Boy oh boy, we've had a very busy day over here. First of all, you can tell 3D Pappy that I reckon he fibbed about those flyin' monkeys... I ain't seen nuttin' like that. But they do have these funny big things that look kinda like giant mouseys and they have big tails and big back legs and they jump along really, really fast. And Auntie Sandie said sometimes some of 'em come on her farm and us doggies have to watch out for 'em 'cause they'll hurt us. That's very nasty of 'em, doncha think?

Anyway, first we went to a town called Taree which is about 25kms from Auntie Sandie's house and where she goes shoppin'. You know, for goodies for her doggies and all. It's very nice there 'cause it's next to a big river called The Manning and the people are kind to doggies - they let 'em have fun in the riverside park. Here I am with Unca John at Manning Quays, lookin' at the river...

And while I was there I even 'tended I was a koala and tried to climb a tree!! Check this out...



Anyway, then Auntie Sandie and Unca John took me to see this place called "The Big Oyster" - they said it used to be restaurant, but now it's just a car yard. Too bad, else we coulda gone in and had a nice big bit of steak or something! Here's me with Unca John standing out the front...



OK, so then we went about another 75kms all the way to a town called Bulahdelah and I met Auntie Sandie's boy who's called Nat. His friend Dave was puttin' on a big car and bike show called "Rock, Rattle 'n' Roll" and he'd asked Nat to come all the way from Sydney to be a judge! There were lots of old cars, some old trucks and some really nice motorcycles. You and DawgDad woulda really liked 'em! Unca John was s'posed to take his Ford truck, but the radiator was cracked so I missed out on havin' a ride in it. Dunno what a radiator is, but Nat and Dave were dis'pointed when we arrived in Auntie Sandie's car instead!! Anyhoo, Auntie Sandie and Unca John met a friend of theirs called Dave - a different Dave - and he had his funny old truck there. Auntie Sandie said I should have my photo taken with the truck 'cause it looked like it would make a good "Bullymobile". I hope she wasn't 'sinuating I'm a bit of a junkyard dog!! Anyway, here's me and Nat, with Dave's old Dodge DeSoto... can you see me at the driver's window?? Bet I fooled ya, huh? These weird ol' Aussies drive on the wrong side of the road, hahahahaha!!


So, now here's the last photo. Auntie Sandie didn't know this man, but she asked him speshly if he would have his photo taken with me 'cause I was raisin' lots of money for poor bullies who don't have nice people to look after 'em. Not lucky doggies like 3D Pappy and Feather and Darla, but doggies like LizzaBelle and Skippy who didn't have lots of love until they came to stay with you and DawgDad. Anyhoo, the man was VERY nice and he had a big laugh and then said he'd be happy to let me sit on his.... HARLEY DAVIDSON!!! I'm a bit hard to see, 'cause he was holdin' me very close to his chest so I couldn't fall off. SO... now you can just tell that naughty Pappy, who tried to frighten me, that I didn't see any ol' green lady ridin' on a broom, but down in Bulahdelah one Saturday afternoon the folks did see a brindle and white bully ridin' on a green motorcycle. Woof, woof, aaarrroooooooo!!!!

See ya later DawgMum... hope you like the photos! Dunno where I'm goin' next but I'll let ya know when I get there!!!

Lotsa love and licks from the happy traveller.... The Flat Papster XXXX



From the looks of Dash and Annie, all of them are plumb tuckered out from all the adventures!

A huge Bull Terrier thank you to Sandie and John for helping us with our fundraising project and showing Flat Papster some of the cool sites! For more information on what we are doing and how you can host Flat Papster or Flat Benny to help Bull Terrier Rescue, see this post.

Next globe-trotting Flat Papster is off to Wagga Wagga! And I hear rumors that our US Flat Papster has robbed a bank???

Move Over Johnny Cash

The Papster has arrived on Music Row!!

(hmmm~the fire hydrant or the Musica Statue???)

Well, the Flat Version of him anyway, and he seems to be having a blast running around Nashville.

(what? another flattie??)

The first stop on Flat Papster's Rescue Fundraising tour was none other than the birthplace of 3D Papster in Ashland City, TN, a little town just outside of Nashville. He must have interrupted his Uncle Traveller's supper, see the cottage cheese on Trav's nose? Just like a Bull TerrOr to arrive when food is being served!

(Traveller, 3D Papster's Uncle)

He arrived just in time to celebrate St. Paddy's Day with everyone too! He had an All Access pass to the 18th Avenue Pub Crawl on Music Row. Hope he didn't drink too much green beer, cause he's too young to drink!

(let's get this party started!)

(3D's other Mama, Janice laughs at Flat Papster on the table)

(maybe HE had too much green beer??)

I'm told he is going to work with his other Mama Vicki, then he will be heading to CT to see what trouble he can get into with Gimli, the stiff necked dwarf and his family.

(Gimli is an example of where the donations go, he is a rescue, the scar on his muzzle is from some jerk who tied his mouth shut to make him quit barking!)

For those reading our blog for the first time, or in case you forgot what this is all about, Flat Papster and his friend Flat BenJammin are traveling the globe raising money for Bull Terrier Rescue. Rescuing and fostering Bull Terriers is very dear to my heart and our rescue is always in need of money to help these poor babies who, out of no fault of their own, have found themselves homeless or abused in someway. My dear friend Paula and I feel it is the responsibility of anyone who spends the money to show this wonderful breed to also give back by helping the rescues who are in need. Here's how it works....

Flat Papster and Flat Benny are in a race to see who can go the most places and who can raise the most money for rescue. The "official" race will end in Oct at Silverwood and our Nationals. Both flat boys will be there to present money to our rescue and with a list of places they have been on this Most Excellent Adventure. (if you click on the link it will take you to our Facebook Fan Page)

If you would like to help we ask that you "buy a ticket" by donating at least $5.00 to our rescue. You can mail a check or use PayPal. Be sure to put the name of the Flat Boy you want to visit in the comment box. (lots of folks are having both flat boys visit!) We will then put your address on the list and have him sent on to you ASAP. We ask that you take pictures of the adventures and email them back to one of us so we can post it on our fan page and also here on the blog.

We have 2 of each Flat Boy, one here in the US and another traveling outside the US. We will try to make sure the Flat Boy of your choosing gets to you as fast as possible. Quite a few tickets have been bought so far and are asking if you have a Flat Boy visiting that you try not to hold on to him for any longer than a week before sending him on to his next destination. Paula and I would be forever grateful to you should you decide to participate in this fun fundraiser, but the Bullies you will be helping will benefit from it the most!

To have Flat Papster come visit email him at FlatPapster@aol.com
To have Flat Benny come visit, email him at FlatBenny@yahoo.com
The PayPal account is PaulaShawBTCARSC@aol.com

(Flat Benny or BenJammin as Pappy calls him)

Paula and I hope you will join us in the fun and help our rescue babies at the same time!

Oh and by the way, Flat Papster might be trying to top Johnny Cash, but he will step aside for this man, DawgMom says so!! (for those that don't listen to country music, that's the one and only Conway Twitty)

(Hello Darlin)

Until next time (hint:Flat Papster the globe trotter has made it to the Land of Oz)



Hucklebutts!!

Are y'all ready??

Here we go! What every-Bullie has been waiting for.........Our Rescue Fundraiser idea!!
HARROOOOO!!!!! ......sorry, got carried away with myself.

First things first, this is not our idea, we actually *borrowed* it from Brutus the Frenchie & his way cool Mama! DawgMom did pee-mail Brutus' Mama & ask her first, if she minded if we used the same idea for Bull Terriers. Brutus' Mama is such a way cool Mama, she said Of course we could! So DawgMom told us that we are doin this with her blessing.
(Skippy says: "Blessin? Did y'all eat wifout me??)

Well, DawgMom talked to DawgAunt Paula cause DawgAunt Paula has lotsa Bullies in rescue too lookin for forever homes. Some of her Bullie babies don't even have foster hoomans yet! We knew that DawgAunt Paula was lookin for ways to raise money too, so they decided to do this thing together. DawgAunt Paula is in Mars, PA. No, not ON Mars, she's IN Mars. Bet Miss Fluffy Tail knows where that is.

Our *twist* on what Brutus & his Mama are doin, we are gonna make ours a race!!! Between a young whippersnapper Bull TerrOr~The Papster & an older, wiser, been around the block Bull TerrOr~BenJammin (*note from DawgMom: his name is Benny or Ben, but Pappy thinks he's a "jammin Bull TerrOr so he calls him BenJammin) It's gonna be a race to see who can go to the most places before we all go to them Silverwoods in PA this October!! How cool is that?? But.............

Yep, there's more! We hope to be able to keep on visitin places all over the world as long as we have tickets to go!! How do we get our tickets you ask?? Well, we ask the peeples & doggies & kitties & hammies that want us to come visit to *buy* us a ticket by donating $5.00 to Bull Terrier Rescue! DawgAunt Paula has an account already set up for rescue with PayPal. DawgMom & her are workin on makin a button for our bloggie so you can just Click from Here!
All you doggies & kitties & hammies that live outside of the US don't need to feel left out either, we already have our pass-a-ports & we can go anywheres! I heard a rumor that there's a couple of clones out there of Flat Papster & Flat Benny so they can go overseas, while we stay in the states, that way more of y'all can have us visit in less time! I don't think those clones are like Clacie tho, pretty sure they ain't.

So how cool is that!?!?! Brutus' Mama sure had a good idea & like I said, she's way cool for lettin us *borrow* it from her. Then DawgMom & DawgAunt Paula comin up with the idea of racin to the most places! I mean cool beans is all I can say (DawgMom kinda gave me the idea cause we live so close to the NASCAR track, but I'm not tellin her I listened) Now, I'm worn out from all the excitement over this & if I'm gonna be racin' I need to rest, so I'm gonna give DawgMom the pooter back so she can tell y'all the pacifics on how to *buy* our tickets & junk.

Later taters!

That boy wears ME out with all that excitement! We are very excited about this & hope we can really bring some much needed funds in for rescue & foster.

To have Flat Papster come visit you, please email me your snail address to FlatPapster@aol.com

To have Flat BenJammin come visit, please send your address to Paula FlatBenny@yahoo.com

Then go to PayPal & donate $5.00 to the PayPal account PaulaShawBTCARSC@aol.com
be sure to designate whether it's for Flat Papster's ticket or Flat BenJammin's ticket.

As soon as we get the notice from PayPal which *ticket* has been bought, we will email your address to the person ahead of you that already has Flat Papster or Flat BenJammin & they will mail him right out to you. The cost of the mailing should be less than $1.00. All you need is a business envelope to put him in.


Lastly, I ask that you take a picture (or 2 or 3 or however many you want) & write a blog post about the visit, let me know & we can link to one another's blog. We are very excited about this & the boys promise not to eat you out of house & home, they promise not to potty in the house & they even promise not to steal the covers from your bed! Now that's asking ALOT from a Bull TerrOr so that shows how excited they are about thier upcoming adventures.

For those of you on FaceBook, we have a page over there as well to keep track of where the boys have been. Flat Papster & Flat Benny's Excellent Adventures
You can find us there under the search for friends thing they have.
DawgMom (me) is Angie Taylor Crabtree. Look me up. (as soon as I get permission from DawgAunt Paula I'll post her name here too so you can find her)

I hope I haven't left anything out, if you have a question ask here or email me over on the FlatPapster email.

Thanks in advance to those of you that want to host our boys & most especially from the wonderful Bullies in rescue that you will be helping. The pictures I put up in this post are of the rescues/fosters that we have had here as a tribute to them. (1st: LizzaBelle when we first got her, 2nd: LizzaBelle now, 3rd: Chico, 4th: Skippy, 5th: Vinnie who was rescued by firefighters rappeling down a ravine to get him!)

Thanks again & as they say in NASCAR~Boogity, Boogity, Boogity~ LET'S GO RACIN' BOYS!!


&

A bit of a Delay

(Feather prefers the couch to the snow)

The announcement we were going to make today has been delayed! Wonder whose fault THAT is? DawgMom? Why of course!

(Darla Jean in the snow)

She claims to have gotten tied up making some glass trophies and time just got away from her, yeah right! Maybe we need to tie a clock or watch to her tail so time won't get away from her!

(The Papster~snow nose)

On a good note though, she did take us on long walkies today since the sun was shining and it was pretty outside for once, so guess we can forgive her.

(LizzaBelle hunting chip-monkies)

We will have the announcement ready by tomorrow night or Monday morning though. I think DawgMom likes to keep every-bullie in suspense.

(FD Skippy snow walkin)

(FD means Foster Dude)

See y'all later taters
