Merry Christmas!

Resting during football

Caged in!

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

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!

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!

New Blinds!

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!

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!!

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

Here I am reading the latest edition of National Review.

Can you see me?

Thanks Luke!

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!

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

No more photos please!

I'm trying to rest!

I'm in charge

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

Boys night!

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!

I do love him so!!

Me

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!!

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!

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

I smell something yummy!

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

Just waiting....

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!

So cozy!

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

Close to the edge

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!

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

>

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

Bunnies!!!

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!

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

This IS the life!

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

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!

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

Scratch!

I love it when I get scratches!

It's meeeeeee!

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!!!

Darn these baby gates!

I've got my eyes on you!

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

Watching TV

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

Me relaxing

.... 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!

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

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!

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

All tired out

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!

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