Summers on the lake

I have not been able to blog recently because I have been taking lots of trips to the lake. When I'm not at the lake I like to go to grammy's pool. What can I say, I am a tiny swimmer. I have really gotten more confident in the water this summer. I'm not the least bit scared anymore! Last weekend I got to go with all of my favorite people. Here we are.







Mommy likes me to wear a life jacket so the big fishies don't pull me under water.




Here is my two-legged cousin Avery in her swimsuit. I guess she's pretty cute too.

But clearly not nearly as good of a swimmer.

Waiting for Daddy...

Daddy has been gone on vacation with his friends for most of the week. I really like being home with Mommy but I miss him. Mommy keeps telling me he's gonna be back soon and I just get so excited.

Spring time

Spring is here so I have been busy enjoying the great outdoors. Last month, daddy and I went and picked out a tree to plant in the yard. He was very excited because we got to use the thing that goes on the back of mommy's car to transport it home.

Then we planted the tree. I helped by stomping down the dirt. I know I am only 10 (okay, maybe 11) pounds but I can pack some force into my step when I want to.

All that work calls for some R and R on the back porch. I'm gonna give my tree a little more time to grow then I'll post some more pictures of it!

Guess who's the big T-H-R-E-E?

Well, I can officially say I have been on this earth gracing everyone with my presence for 3 whole years. Time flies when you're having fun. Here's what I looked like just a few years ago in case anyone has forgotten how tiny I was.

I love Fridays

Fridays are my favorite day of the week. Mommy is home with me all day and it also means I have the weekend ahead of me so Daddy will be home with me soon too. But Fridays are reserved for mommy and me. We like to catch up on our Zs and the laundry and sometimes run a few errands. She takes me with her when the weather is nice. I like to ride in the car but sometimes we go places and I get scared so I hide in the floorboard.



Also, here is a bonus picture of "Where's Penny?" I am hiding in the laundry; can you find me?


Stay tuned for some more pictures from this weekend. We have some big plans!

Daddy's latest study

Daddy has been conducting a non-scientific experiment on me lately. He puts a dingo, a dental bone, and a chew stick on the floor for me and lets me pick which one I want. We have replicated it a few times to get more accurate results (I'm not complaining) and the results have been the same every time. Mommy is so proud of me for some reason!

Snowpocalypse

Good morning! Currently, Mommy, Daddy and I are hunkered down riding out the big snow storm. I am a little bit confused because they are usually only home with me on Sundays but I thought Sunday was just a couple of days ago. Mommy and I got to sleep in until 9 this morning and Daddy and I have been working at the computer though so I'm not sure why they are both home. Furthermore, when I needed to tinkle I had to put on a bunch of clothes - Mommy told me to layer - to keep myself warm and wait for Daddy to move the white stuff out of the way.

Here is Daddy clearing the way so I can see the grass. I kept going outside to check on him but I would immediately come back in because there was white stuff swirling and in my face and my paws were so cold.







But finally Mommy came out too and they told me to do my tinkle. I had to go pretty bad so I did but I didn't really like it. I love the snow most of the time but not when it is this cold and windy!

2011 Update

Happy new year to all of my readers! I have been busy enjoying the holiday break. I put on some pounds over the holidays beacuse of all the good food but I don't mind. In fact, my new years resolution is to gain some more weight cause that means I am eating really yummy food. Yesterday we made cookies and I got to lick the bowl!

This is my new toy that I got for Christmas. It may be my new favorite because a) it squeaks b) it crinkles even when I'm not squeaking it and c) it's red, my favorite color. I prefer red toys because I think I am color blind and cannot find some of the others.

I forgot to post this picture from Christmas last time. Mommy took it when she came to get in bed one night at Gram's house and there was nowhere to go. I told her she could sleep on the floor or at the foot of the bed like I usually do. Daddy and I were snoozing really well.
