Ender the Eskie

My new buddy!

2012-01-13T22:16:00.000-06:00

So I realize it's been forever since I last posted.... But here's some pictures of my new brother! His name is Flynn and we got him the week after thanksgiving! He's pretty cute, and a lot of fun to play with, so I think it's ok if he stays! My parents got him from the same breeder, so he's a Silveroaks Eskie too, just like me! I'll try and be better about blogging, because we have a lot of other great things that have already happened, and that will be happening in the next couple of months! I'm so excited to tell you about it all! And if course there will be bunches of pictures!

I'm sitting on something? I don't know what you're talking about.

2011-08-28T18:33:00.000-05:00

Pillow for me

2011-08-08T22:52:00.001-05:00

I'm so helpful!

2011-04-21T14:38:00.001-05:00

Can you see me "helping" with the laundry? Hehehe!

Where'd it go?

2011-02-09T18:40:00.001-06:00

See me sleeping on my cozy bed by the window, where I like to peer out and look sometimes? Do you see what's perched outside my window while I sleep? Take a closer look....A BIRD! My mom finally decided to tell me to look- but as soon as I did it flew away! I didn't even have the chance to get some good loud barks in! Oh....and we got more snow/ice/freezing rain last night and today!

Finally!

2011-02-04T08:36:00.001-06:00

I started waiting early early this morning, and by the time it was time to get up and out, I had my snow to lay in! But now I'm inside all snug again!

This is the life!

2011-02-01T22:30:00.001-06:00

Here I am all snug and cozy inside while outside it's cold and blustery. Now normally I like the cold, but when it's 18* out and with the wind chill it feels like 5* out in TEXAS.... that's toooo cold for me! So here I snooze in my parents room, and occasionally bark at the kids slipping and sliding down the street on the icy, slightly snow covered roads.

Merry Christmas!

Resting during football

2010-12-19T21:41:00.000-06:00

Caged in!

2010-11-30T22:14:00.000-06:00

Well, not really... see how the gate is opened? I can come and go as I please! But only at night after the kids are in bed, because during the day that gate keeps them out and safe, away from the fireplace! I like to go from my bed on the left, to the tile- and back and forth!

Remembering Aunt Hana

2010-11-06T11:52:00.001-05:00

One year ago today, my wonderful Aunt Hana passed over the rainbow bridge.

In her honor, my Dad took me to Sonic for some French fries. I think Hana would have approved.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Hana's family today. We miss you Hana!

Lovin' the cooler weather!

2010-11-02T15:26:00.001-05:00

And I love the table right up by the kitchen window! I smell all kinds of yummy smells when the window is open and my moms cooking dinner! I also like to rest here because I know it makes my mom smile!

My remote!

2010-10-24T14:39:00.001-05:00

New Blinds!

2010-10-17T16:55:00.002-05:00

Here's me at the window where we finally got the new blinds. However, we've got to do something about these cords.

It's getting cooler in the evenings!

2010-10-11T18:51:00.001-05:00

The cooler weather in the evenings means I can relax out on the back patio. Dad says if I bark too much he'll make me come inside, so I'm being real quiet right now.

Look at all the fun I'm missing!!

2010-09-29T21:57:00.000-05:00

Half my family is on vacation, yup, it's just me and my dad doing the bachelor thing! My Mom, brother, and sister are in WA visiting my grandparents. They have a lot of squirrels and birds that they feed. The other day a squirrel even came in the house to retrieve a peanut!! I tell you- I miss all the good things!

Keeping informed

2010-09-03T12:59:00.001-05:00

Here I am reading the latest edition of National Review.

Can you see me?

2010-08-29T20:46:00.002-05:00

Thanks Luke!

2010-08-26T15:37:00.001-05:00

My little brother Luke gave me my bone today- I'm guessing that he thought that if he put it *on* me, my little sister Cassie wouldn't find it?! Can you see my bone?

Ain't nothin' gonna stop me!

2010-08-20T15:08:00.001-05:00

From looking out these windows around here! Why do those humans even try?!

No more photos please!

2010-08-15T14:57:00.001-05:00

I'm trying to rest!

I'm in charge

2010-08-08T16:14:00.001-05:00

Here's me dominating the doggie blanket of my little brother. I'm the alpha dog in this house!

Boys night!

2010-08-06T14:35:00.000-05:00

We had an indoor camping night. Though, I didn't get any of the foil dinners or s'mores... Maybe next time!

Me and my buddy!

2010-07-30T21:21:00.000-05:00

I do love him so!!

Me

2010-07-29T15:27:00.001-05:00

This is me being bummed out...we probably won't be going to my family reunion this year. We were planning on it all year, and then the A/C had to go and break.... Stupid yet necessary A/C...

I'll show him who's boss!!

2010-07-26T14:52:00.000-05:00

That's right! I've pinned him! I won!! Take that!!! Don't mess with me! Hahaha!

I knew this little brother gig would pay off!

2010-07-23T15:15:00.000-05:00

He kept feeding me popcorn; and who am I to deny him the opportunity to share....with meeeeeee!

I smell something yummy!

2010-07-16T07:36:00.000-05:00

I'm being very subtle, don't you think!

Just waiting....

2010-07-06T16:20:00.001-05:00

For mom to look away; then I can snag that diaper that she so foolishly left there! She knows better than to leave things like that around for me to find later! I look all innocent huh!

Reflections!

2010-06-10T17:15:00.001-05:00

So cozy!

2010-06-01T11:51:00.001-05:00

My parents can never get another couch! The curves fit me purfectly
on this one! I won't let them!

Close to the edge

2010-05-24T09:15:00.001-05:00

Here I am lounging around....Luke usual. But this time I am being
very careful to keep my balance and not fall off.

Guarding the door!

2010-05-17T21:00:00.001-05:00

Halt! Who goes there?
Ive got my parents in the room and I'm keeping them safe.... or
hostage.....whatever. I'll only let them go if they get me some
treats!!!

Fwd: Guy time

2010-05-10T08:10:00.000-05:00

> Here I am with my dad and brother. Notice who's hogging the popcorn!
>

Bunnies!!!

2010-05-03T15:18:00.000-05:00

Three of them! At once!! In my yard!!! Boy did I go wild! And then
I swear they were teasing me just sitting there all sly and innocent
looking! I wonder why those bunnies don't join me in the backyard for
a little fun?!

Love that cool breeze!

2010-04-22T12:36:00.000-05:00

And it smells so nice too! These windows are just the right height!

This IS the life!

2010-04-09T13:22:00.001-05:00

And all I have to do is lay here all cute with my tongue flopped out
and I get lots of scratches and treats! Not much can top this!

Training my younger brother

2010-04-06T12:27:00.001-05:00

Here's me showing my little brother how to lounge. Notice my position
so I can see past the couch? It's these types of little things that
are pure instinct on my part. He was too busy smiling at the camera.
Sometimes I wonder whether you can teach a young human new tricks.

Something is missing from this photo!

2010-04-04T17:41:00.001-05:00

The answer! My water bowl! Here's me showing what a long suffering
patient dog I am. Now put my water bowl down!

Scratch!

2010-04-02T15:16:00.001-05:00

I love it when I get scratches!

It's meeeeeee!

2010-03-26T11:50:00.001-05:00

I like this picture of me. Don't you think it's my good side- as if
there was ever a bad side, I think not!

I'm in jail!!!

2010-03-16T09:18:00.001-05:00

Darn these baby gates!

I've got my eyes on you!

2010-03-08T18:43:00.001-06:00

And when you try and snatch this ball....I'll get it quick!

Watching TV

2010-02-26T19:11:00.000-06:00

My favorite spot to watch is from behind the couch. Just watching
some basketball with my Dad tonight.

Me relaxing

2010-02-16T18:00:00.001-06:00

.... I seem to do a lot of that! I did get to play in the snow the
other day, no worries! It was FUN!

Snow! Beautiful snow!

2010-02-11T08:27:00.001-06:00

It snowed in TX. again! I want to RUUNNNN! And PLAY! But mom says
no! Not fair! My dad comes home from Chicago this afternoon- maybe
he will take me to play in the snow!

In memory

2010-02-05T10:18:00.000-06:00

Today is my Aunt Hana's birthday. In loving memory I have posted a
picture of me eating French fries because I know how much she loved
her fries! We miss you Aunt Hana! We will always remember you!

This is how you enjoy a Saturday!

2010-01-23T11:01:00.001-06:00

Take note... I seem to do this a lot!

All tired out

2010-01-08T22:16:00.000-06:00

From all this excersise! Watching my parents excersise that is!! My
parents got the Wii Fit for Christmas so here I am making sure
everything is done proper and safely! They did have the nerve to
weigh me, but I got a little doggie Mii, so maybe it was ok!

Today is my birthday!

2010-01-05T11:29:00.001-06:00

And so I will be doing a lot of this....

Flying trouble....

2009-12-26T18:51:00.001-06:00

This is what my dad got for Christmas. I guess I was partly to blame
because I helped give it to him..... in any case, this little flying
thing that is called a Havoc Heli just might be trouble. It makes a
lot of noisy racket!

It's mine! All mine!

2009-12-23T22:15:00.001-06:00

You can tell by the paw prints on it! And I can smell it! But I have
been told to leave it alone and that I have to wait! I've also been
told I'm just as bad as the kids, whatever that means! Today I got in
trouble because I took my gift outside!

Christmas is coming!

2009-12-20T20:54:00.001-06:00

The stocking on the far right is mine!

Keeping my eye on things

2009-12-18T10:56:00.000-06:00

Today is grooming day and tomorrow is moving day. That's why I
haven't been blogging much lately, things have been crazy around here
since my family has been back from WA. I'm told I will like the new
house, there will be stairs and even more windows for me to look out
of! I'll try and post a post next week!

I knew I should have gone with them!

2009-12-07T22:24:00.001-06:00

But no! My parents and brother and sister went on vacation without
me! And while I did have a nice stay at the Petsmart hotel, I would
have much rather gone to bark at this squirrel! Oh well, maybe next
time!

Do you see the fire truck?

2009-12-07T22:20:00.001-06:00

Man! These kid toys are everywhere!

On my way to Petsmart

2009-11-21T09:07:00.000-06:00

Here's me on my way to doggie daycamp! Woot!

Now where is the garage door opener?

2009-11-19T10:49:00.001-06:00

Can't start the car until I get that garage door opener!

King of the blankets!

2009-11-18T21:22:00.001-06:00

Just as it should be!

Fresh air!

2009-11-17T11:02:00.000-06:00

I love it when they crack the window for me!

Just relaxing

2009-11-13T18:11:00.001-06:00

Relaxing while the folks are watcing TV

Winky Binky

2009-11-12T22:59:00.000-06:00

Shhhhhhhh. Don't tell!

Is this weird?

2009-11-04T09:51:00.001-06:00

I ate the "d" dog card, does this mean I practice cannibalism? I hope
not! If anything it means I am needing more fiber in my diet!

Yummy peas!

2009-11-01T14:03:00.000-06:00

I love it when they start getting real food!

I don't have the binky in my mouth

2009-10-30T09:57:00.000-05:00

What could possibly make you think I had the binky in my mouth?

You don't say....

2009-10-25T22:22:00.001-05:00

Twitching in my sleep

2009-10-18T21:07:00.000-05:00

Here's me dreaming about running, I think. Probably chasing a bunny.

Hahahaha!

2009-10-16T11:31:00.001-05:00

I stole the baguette! My mom foolishly left it unwrapped and to close
to the edge of the counter! Of course I went to hide in Luke's room!

I need you to place your knee...

2009-10-15T19:47:00.000-05:00

...right here. Now don't move!

I love it when they do what I want!

I got in trouble

2009-10-10T16:59:00.000-05:00

Here's me in timeout because my parents left a diaper around for me to
find. I don't get it. THEY left the diaper there, how is that MY fault?

Tongue hanging out

2009-10-07T10:22:00.000-05:00

Just Chillin'!

And I thought having a sister would stop this

2009-09-28T22:10:00.000-05:00

Apparently not! The things I let my parents do to me! Good thing I
love them!

Relaxing

2009-09-24T10:20:00.000-05:00

Here I am intently resting while my Dad is watching TV

I got mail!

2009-09-23T16:56:00.000-05:00

So maybe the dentist isn't all that bad... they did send me a get well
soon card! Oh..., and I didn't have to have any root canals, they
were able to fix the fractured teeth with a simple repair! But
anymore dental problems and we go back to this place instead of the
other place.

Busy Sunday

2009-09-20T13:50:00.001-05:00

Here's me on a Sunday while Dad is watching football.

I look like a poodle

2009-09-16T13:36:00.001-05:00

Went to the vet yesterday to get my teeth cleaned, they had to shave
some of my arm.... now I look like I have a poodle paw! Hopefully my
fur grows in fast!

Now my teeth are all nice and white! I do have one fractured tooth
and it has started to get infected (my upper right first big moler).
So now my parents have to decide how to fix it, root canal, or let it
go until it gets really bad and have it extracted. Either way costs
could be the same depending on how ugly the infection gets.... any
suggestions?

Do you see what I see?

2009-09-03T13:45:00.001-05:00

I'm staring at something yummy, but I'm not allowed to eat it.

Binky? What binky?

2009-08-29T15:26:00.001-05:00

Mystery mess!

2009-08-28T11:29:00.001-05:00

My mom can't figure it out! Hahaha! I've got her fooled! It's not
even stinky!

Laying around

2009-08-26T21:06:00.001-05:00

Here I am...waiting for prey to pass by.

Just resting

2009-08-25T00:15:00.000-05:00

Here's me and my dad napping in the sun.

Saint Ender's Day

2009-08-23T14:42:00.001-05:00

If you are living right, you just may be blessed with seeing this
image. And since here you are, looking at this image, you obviously
must be doing something right.

Onesie?

2009-08-22T08:45:00.000-05:00

What onesie?

What burp cloth?

2009-08-21T20:04:00.001-05:00

Umm, burp cloth? I didn't take the burp cloth. What are you talking
about?

French fry!

2009-08-21T11:30:00.000-05:00

Here's an action shot of me going for the throat of this French fry?
What? You say that French fries don't have jugular veins? I beg to
differ, because how else would I have subdued and devoured this meal?

Feared Predator of the African Plains

2009-08-20T10:42:00.000-05:00

Here's a photo of me taking down a giraffe while out hunting for a meal.

He wants to be justvlike me!

2009-08-18T10:54:00.000-05:00

And that's ok with me!

Yard work

2009-08-17T20:20:00.001-05:00

This is how I help with the yard work!

At the dog park

2009-08-15T08:33:00.000-05:00

Playing at the park

Me and my posse

2009-08-14T09:40:00.000-05:00

I am the alpha dog in this pack!

Tempting

2009-08-13T09:05:00.001-05:00

With all this laundry calling out to be played with... how could I not!

To the vet!

2009-08-12T19:02:00.001-05:00

Went to the vet today for routine exam and bloodwork.

Keepaway

2009-08-11T22:40:00.000-05:00

Here's me playing keepaway from my dad.

Busy as usual

2009-08-10T10:28:00.001-05:00

It's a tough life isn't it! But hey... somedogs gotta do it!

Let me in!

2009-08-09T22:28:00.001-05:00

Here's me waiting for someone to let me in. Can you see me?

Tired ride home

2009-08-08T18:04:00.001-05:00

This is me on the ride home from getting groomed.

Playing with the blue ball

2009-08-07T20:17:00.002-05:00

I can really move!

Look into my eyes!

2009-08-07T16:26:00.002-05:00

You want to give me a treat...you want to give me a treat...you want to give me a treat.

Fine!

2009-08-07T09:47:00.001-05:00

If he won't sleep in it.... I will!

Guilty....

2009-08-06T16:22:00.001-05:00

Need I say more?
