Biscuit with his 26 Bottles of Biscuit!
This weekend, we received 26 Bottles of Biscuit! Below are some photographs with Biscuit and his Jones Soda!
We did place Biscuit on our dinning room table in order to capture this photograph below! (Not to worry – after we cleaned our dinning room table thoroughly!)
Biscuit is on the mend. We hope that we do not have to give Biscuit too many more medicated baths. His skin infection appears to be clearing up, although the medicine is making Biscuit quite sleepy. However, Biscuit was not too tired to go out to eat with us on Friday night and Sunday night!

Biscuit is doing a little better. All of the medicine is making him more tired than usual. Biscuit went for a long walk last night after the rain. We hope that his infections will be gone in the next few weeks. Below is a photograph of Biscuit taken this past weekend just before he went with us to the Harbor in his Hound About, which he loves!
A New Baby Panda!
We are avid panda people, and my husband, Doug, called me early this morning excited to inform me that Ms. Mei had a baby cub last night! According to the National Zoo, the panda cub was born around 10:46 p.m. last night.
According to the chief veterinarian at the National Zoo, “Mei Xiang is behaving exactly the same way she did when Tai Shan was born. She is cradling her cub closely.”
This is very exciting, because there have been many failed attempts to have a cub with Mei Xiang and Tian Tian. It will be exciting to see this cub in person when he/she eventually will be on display at the National Zoo.
Keep your eyes on the panda cam and on the National Zoo’s website!

Biscuit Update
I have not taken any photos of our little Biscuit since this weekend. Biscuit has been under the weather and he is still battling a skin yeast infection on his body and an ear infection. He also has had an upset stomach from his new antibiotic. Luckily, Biscuit woke us up so Doug could take him outside several times. We cut the dosage of his antibiotics back to help with his upset stomach. Biscuit has even cooperated with us giving him frequent baths using his medicated shampoo! He looks so different when he is all wet! There will be more photos of Biscuit to come!
This image below from Nova Scotia taken from our little house that we rented – reminds me of how peaceful we felt when we were there!

Pooch About Pennsylvania!
This weekend, Doug and I took Biscuit on a weekend trip to Pennsylvania. As you can see, Biscuit was happy to travel! We thought it would be fun to take Biscuit to an Orvis store. Due to traffic concerns, we headed north versus south. Doug and I first took Biscuit to the Orvis store in Downington, Pennsylvania. He felt right at home and toured the store off leash! Then, we took Biscuit with us to the Iron Hill Brewery in West Chester, Pennsylvania for dinner! Biscuit had great time! I think that he gave us his paw for kibble at least 100 times! Biscuit was so worn out by the time we got back to the hotel. We are not sure he got off his Orvis bed during the entire night!
The next day, we took Biscuit to another Orvis store in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. At this Orvis location, the Orvis staff knew and recognized Biscuit and they were happily surprised to meet little Biscuit. The Orvis staff gave us the Orvis Commitment handout shown below featuring Biscuit representing the Orvis Petfinder Commitment, supporting dog rescue. We also took Biscuit again for dinner at Iron Hill Brewery in Delaware!
As a result of this trip, we were delighted to learn that Biscuit is currently displayed in Orvis stores. A few images of Biscuit in other Orvis stores are below! Biscuit has also been shown in Orvis stores nationwide in poster format since March 2012.
We were also excited to learn that beginning sometime this month, September, for several months, Biscuit will be featured in a large poster format, roughly four (4) feet high by six (6) feet long in the following Orvis store locations: (1) Charlotte, North Carolina; (2) Dedham, Massachusetts; (3) Palisades, West Nyak, New York; (4) Royal Oak, Michigan; (5) Woodlands, Texas; (6) Tysons Corner, Vienna, Virginia; (7) New York, New York; and (8) Bend, Oregon. We will be heading to Tysons Corner with Biscuit to see Biscuit’s large poster displayed. We are happy that Biscuit is being shown in an Orvis store near our home! More photos will be forthcoming!
Here are some photographs from Biscuit’s adventures in Pennsylvania!
Enjoy!

26 Bottles of Biscuit!
I am very happy to report last night my friend, Marie, surprised us when she sent me these photos below! Marie is the winner of $100.00 for locating Biscuit on the Jones Soda Co. bottle! She located and found Biscuit on Jones Soda Co. bottles at the Giant in Baltimore County! At first she found 2 bottles of Jones Soda Co. with Biscuit appearing on the label on the shelf. Then, after looking further, she located 24 more bottles with Biscuit appearing on the label on the shelves, thereby cleaning the Giant out obtaining a total of 26 bottles of Biscuit!
We are really excited to see these bottles in person!
You can locate Jones Soda Co. products in your area here.

A Reflective Biscuit
Below is an image capturing Biscuit while he worked on drafting his memoirs, which he began on vacation! (Biscuit informed us that he is still drafting his memoirs and he is happy to report that he has recent fond stories and adventures to share!) As you can see, Biscuit enjoyed some of his kibble while he wrote/typed!
Happy Tuesday!

Biscuit Made It Home
Biscuit made it home from vacation. Biscuit did very well in the car, a twenty-three hour car ride each way (two consecutive days of traveling each way). He did not have any issues, thankfully.
Biscuit was very excited to be home and he was running all over the house smiling while taking the side of his head and running it up against our furniture! He was also very happy to be out walking in his neighborhood and he was sniffing everything in sight! We think that Biscuit is more happy to be home than we are! We will miss Nova Scotia’s peace and serenity. A few photographs of Biscuit taken on our front porch are below taken today upon his return home!
