Man, These Holidays are Exhausting!

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I'm a handsome devil, aren't I?

Daddy Leon tried to take pictures of me opening my presents...but they all were blurry.  I guess I just move too fast!  Or daddy Leon just can't hold the camera steady.

But I slowed down and he took these with me lounging with my new squeaky toys - Goat or cow - daddies argue about what it is - and red dog.  Who cares, as long as they squeak and I can drive daddies crazy.  I squeak my toys till they say "Enough squeaking!"  Then I squeak a few more times - just because i can.

Christmas Eve Hike and Nap in the Car

I went for a hike with my good friend Bailey who I don't get to see too much lately.  Then this white fluffy dog came by and we all had a good romp.  What fun.  

Bailey and Fluff or whatever his-her name is

After, I went for a ride with Daddies to Litchfield and they had a nice long lunch at some fancy place.  Daddies said it was a Christmas Eve treat.  Here they are WITHOUT ME.  I had to wait in the CAR!  Oh well, what to do when waiting in the car and you get bored of the people walking by?  Nap.  Next to eating and running, its what I do best.  I had a good snooze.

Running With My Girlfriend Katja

Went out yesterday with Daddies and Dottie and my girlfriend Katja.  We did lots of running and I found a nice big stick for us to tug on.  I won the tug even though Katja thinks she's the boss.  

Hey, Katja, here's a stick to tug on

Ready? Tug!

This is great fun!

Winter is For Curling Up and Snoozing

Thanksgiving

Daddies said it is Thanksgiving.  I know what that means cuz I had turkey with my dog food today.  So I am thanksgiving to dads for the good dinner.

I also got to go visit auntie Sis who lives near the beach.  We went for a nice walk on the beach and around the yard and I found a tennis ball.  So I am thanksgiving for the tennis ball.

Daddy Frank says I am not fill-o-sopical like their old dog Bruno.  Bruno always had words of wisdom.  I only have words of food and play.  Maybe when I get older I will be fill-o-sopical and say things to make you think.  Right now I am too busy being a dog.

Here are photos of me.

 I love a good tennis ball, especially one that I found all by myself.

 Isn't the beach pretty?  I wish I could go swimming, but daddies said it is too cold.

There's daddy Leon sitting on the bench.

A Sunday Walk With My Friends

We went for a hike on Sunday with my girlfriend Katja and my cousin Casey.  Casey is a bit of a loner, but me and Katja did our run together.  We have fun.  

A Field of Fall Flowers

I love going hiking every day.  Except when it's raining too much, then Daddy says it's just too lousy to go for a hike.  Last week there were these flowers all through the field.  I always look goos in a field of flowers.

 Or next to a bush with bright red leaves.

Too bad Katja wasn't there that day.  If she was, I wouldn't be sitting still all pretty and handsome.  She and I would be chasing and running and Daddy would never be able to take a picture.

I Ride The Wild Waves

Well, here we are again.  On Vacation in PTown.  I like it here.  There are doggie parks and when we walk in town there are all kinds of doggies and there are water bowls everwhere.  People come over and tell me how handsome I am.  One guy spotted me from across the street, come right up  to me and scotched down to pet me and told me that I am such a great dog.  He didn't even talk to daddy.  Not even a "Hi."  He just wanted to talk to me.

Daddy said I am getting a big head.  I think my head is just the right size.

Daddies thought I was a wimp because I was afraid of the waves.  Until now.  I decided it was time to venture out over the waves to fetch stick, now that I am a big fella and more grown up.  I can handle it. And I just love to fetch stick at the beach.

We are at Herring Cove Beach in PTown and the waves the other day were coming in good.  The water was not cold and gave me a nice cool-off from the sun.

Just look at me go.

At my hotel and doggie resort.

Beach Snooze

The other day we all went for a hike through the dunes.  It was like being in a desert or at least that's what daddy said, cuz I never been to a desert.  Boy it was hot out there and I liked it when we found trees.

 Or at least a little shade along the trails.

Ah, some shade by the shack.  No one was home.

The trail ended by the ocean.  Now this part of the ocean was colder and had bigger waves too.
