Beach Vacation

Some of you may remember I already went on a beach vacation shortly after I returned home to Mom, but the rest of the gang hasn't been there yet so it was nice to show them the ropes. We got to stay in this great house that had a nice, little backyard with just enough space for us four beasts. We took a walk everyday around the neighborhood and took some field trips to the beach and to a National Park. We had a really great time and were upset when we had to head home. There is talk of making this a yearly event, which I know all of us would wholeheartedly agree to!

First vet visit

Josette and I had our first vet visit as pets today. I was due for some shots and Josette tagged along to get a check up. The doctor was really nice and she had some great treats for us! I weighed in at a healthy 54 lbs and Josette is a svelte 71. Unfortunately we weren't both perfectly healthy, but nothing that a few pills won't clear up :) So both of us are good until the Fall when I need a heartworm test and Josette needs her Lyme vaccine. Mom is really excited about this vet, who practices holistic medicine. With her help we should live long, healthy lives with Mom!

Pill Day

Don't forget your pill today!

Josette's Birthday Celebration

Birthday's around here are filled with lots of treats, presents, and playtime! Mom made me and the rest of the gang ice cream and a pumpkin cake. She also got me a new rope toy and a new Wubba. It was an awesome day!

Happy Father's Day!

Josette and I wanted to wish our fathers a very happy Father's Day. My dad, Donner, is from The Seeing Eye so I don't have any pictures of him, but he must have been awesome to create a puppy like me!

Josette's dad, Urban, passed away last October. He made great puppies too, so we know he is greatly missed. Rest in peace Urban!

Pill Day

Don't forget your pill today!

And now it's my turn...

Long time, no blog. I thought it was about time the real star of the show got some keyboard time.

As you can probably imagine I was pretty PO'd when Mom took Irie to that Labfest. I was given some bogus excuse that it was just for Labs but I have photographic evidence that there was another shepherd there!


And it didn't help much when they came back and Irie kept bragging about what a great time she had. Enough already, you swam, you played, BIG DEAL!!! When Sunday rolled around, I got my own outing to brag to Irie about (So HA!).

Mom loaded me and that little yellow beast into Grandma's car and we hit the road pretty early on Sunday. I don't particularly care for Grandma's car, so I did my best not to projectile vomit all over the aforementioned beast. We finally arrived at a big park (I bet it was bigger than your dumb dog park, Irie). There were dogs everywhere and I came out barking to let everyone know I had arrived. Yeah, Mom didn't appreciate (or tolerate) that at all...


We made our way over to the main area, through the throngs of dogs and owners, to the registration table. This was a walk for cancer research (both canine and human), so I feel good to have done my part for this more than worthy cause. I saw some friends there that I've met before-Truman (the pug), Bulova (the Lab), and hundreds of other dogs. The papparazzi were out in full force and I was getting photographed left and right. How could they resist? I was the best looking dog there.

We took one lap around the park, me mostly with Mom. At one point some punk tried to get into it with me. I gave him my patented "Dude, what's your problem?" look and he backed off. At the end of the walk I switched back to Grandma and we did some shopping. Mom didn't buy me anything, although I tried to use my Jedi mind powers to get her to.


We took another short walk to snap some formal pix of me and the beast. They came out pretty well, thanks to my gorgeousness.


We managed to leave right before all the rain started. I guess we have some great timing! The day was capped off by a delicious marrow bone in the back yard. So a pretty good day for me!
