playing with our friends at the park....again

One recent morning....


Izzy says "Teddy is MINE!"

Izzy's First Snow

Introducing....

This is Isabella (Izzy). She is our new baby sister and believe me it is a really good thing that she is behind that fence because she is TROUBLE!! I try my best to keep her in line but it is not easy because she wants to eat everything including my ears and Teddy's ears and all my toys and even our chipmunks and sticks!! And she keeps getting bigger so it's very scary. She was very tiny at first so I could keep her in line pretty easily but now her paws are almost as big as mine!! I think maybe AuntBeth should stop feeding her. AuntBeth wants me to say that me and Teddy do secretly like her and I guess I should because most of the time we do like her and let her sleep with us and we even give her kisses sometimes. Well, we have to we can't help it and also frankly we're worried she's going to takeover pretty soon so we need her to like us - she can be pretty scary.

I guess that's all for now - pretty big change here - HI MAMA!!!!!

In memory of Annie....

Annie left us on August 30th. She was very sick. We are all so very sad. AuntBeth has had the leaky eyes. She made this video of Annie.

Annie's catch....

Well, we've been pretty busy and it's been raining a lot which must make the squirrels kind of stupid cause me and Teddy and Annie caught this one we're not telling who killed it but Annie got it and wanted to show it to AuntBeth and tried to take it in the house and then tried to put it on her feet and finally traded it for some turkey. AuntBeth did not seem as happy about this prize as we thought she would!! What is her problem? Anyway, I am recovering from the 4th of July booming I hate so much it is wayyyy scary!!

Hi Mama - hope you're safe and come home soon!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXO

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY TO ANNIE!!!!

Today is Mother's Day and also Annie's 7th GotchaDay. Seven years ago today AuntBeth brought home a very scared and sad Annie who was not very happy about going anywhere new again. Those days are all forgotten now and she is a happy happy girl and of course a princess!! Personally, I love Annie and she loves me even though I sometimes step on her she still wags her tail at me and smiles so HAPPY GOTCHA DAY to Annie who is a sweet girl and a good sport! And also Happy Mother's Day to my Mama out there somewhere and just for her we're going to try to add a picture of mememememe. Oh ok it is above Annie but that's ok cause I am soooo handsome!!!

We love you Mama and would love to hear from you!!! Sometime soon would be nice!!!!

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!!!

Hey guess what it's May!!!! I don't know what the heck Cinco de Mayo is but AuntBeth said she had to try to make me look Mexican. Of course I just look foolish but she doesn't care about that. But that's ok - I'll get even. Maybe I'll eat this toy - she hates that!! Or I could eat some of her new plants but really it's ok I know she loves me and is just trying to get my mama's attention because WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HER IN QUITE AWHILE!! So if you see me, please say hello. We hear we might even see you soon oh boy but that is almost too much to wish for so we will just keep wishing and hoping that you are safe and sending you all our love. WE MISS YOU!!!

SPRING IS SPRUNG!!

Oh boy it is spring and the flowers are blooming and it's warm and the windows are open so there is way more to bark at now and I am very busy. A recent highlight here was Annie killed a squirrel (she is my hero) and brought it in to the living room to show AuntBeth. Nothing I have ever done could top that. I thought I was going to have to figure out how to call 911 cause AuntBeth sort of went into shock over that one. I guess that's all I have to report for now so just wanting to say hi to my mama and hoping she is safe and knows we miss her and love her!!!

Now what?????

This is too much. We just had a big fat snowstorm, there's not a rabbit in sight and so she wants me to look like one? I think she needs help. I am a lot of things but I am definitely not a bunny rabbit. In fact, if I ever encountered a bunny rabbit, I hesitate to tell you what I might do to it. Do I look cute in bunny ears? Well...sure I do. But that is beside the point. If she gives me a basket and tells me to go looking for eggs, I am going to run away and join the circus.
Take care and be safe,

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY TEDDY

Today is Teddy's 5th GotchaDay!! Happy GotchaDay big guy - we are sure glad we found you!! You are a very good boy and we love you very much!!

Playing in the park with my hero Trooper

This is me and my friend Trooper playing with his toy (it is his toy but I would like it to be mine mine mine). I like to help him find it and I am very good at doing that but I never take the toy mainly because I always must have a ball in my mouth. I love to play with Trooper - he is my favorite park buddy.

My spring wardrobe...

Although it appears that spring may never ever come again, I have decided to at least start thinking about my spring wardrobe. I think this hat could work ... perhaps with a pair of khakis and some leather sandals. Or some white linen shorts. Ahhhh puts me in mind of mint juleps, truly a springtime drink. I am so fond of springtime. The smells, the mud, the melting of ice and snow followed by finding long-forgotten treasures in the yard. And there is the rolling in smelly things to look forward to. Annie and Teddy like to do this as well as dig up old stuff in the dirt. It will come, it can't be that far...

I AM SOOOO HANDSOME....

This is my portrait. Am I not the handsomest of the handsome? I have to confess that I am waiting for the girls to notice me. I have always been a debonair international bachelor type dude, but alas, I too get lonely for companionship with the softer sex. Perhaps someone to share my... well, share.... well I can't share my tennis ball.... or my toys..... well maybe a couple of the toys but not my food nono not my treats either... ummmm well ok I will share the park with her and we can runrunrun but she just has to have her own ball that's all sorry about that.....and also no chewing on my ears please.....

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXXOXOXO

Look who's crazy now! ...as narrated by me!!

So this is a video of Teddy and Gracie (she is the new dog living with Tania). I think they are trying to kill each other and maybe even me!! And you thought I was the crazy one???!!!! You ain't seen nothin' yet!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Hey Happy Valentine's Day to everybody especially my mama who is very far away right now ... we are thinking about you. It is cold here today so AuntBeth put this beanie on my head and then she put a heart sticker on the beanie. She thinks she is creative and we just have to go with it so she doesn't get upset and have a meltdown or something cause you know how she is. She says we (me and Annie and Teddy) are her valentines. I sure hope that means we get special treats today. And I hope it doesn't mean we have to try to get her a present or something although we could try to kill a squirrel for her. We can't dig anything up because it's frozen out there and there's snow all over the place. But maybe in the spring we can dig up an old chewy for her or something.
Ok well take care and we are sending lots of love out to everybody today!!
XOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOX

My first anniversary

It was one year ago today that I came to stay with AuntBeth so now it's been that long since my mama's been gone. It has been a pretty good year for me here. I have lots of toys, good food and I get to sleep on the bed oh and I love the backyard where I can chase those nasty squirrels. We go to the park every day, sometimes twice. Teddy even likes me now and sometimes we play. I still love to play with my ball especially if someone will throw it for me. I love to runrunrun. I am 8 years old now. Some people think I am older because I have some white furs on my face but I am still young and can outrun and outplay most of the young whippersnappers. I am happy here but we do all miss my mama and worry about her sometimes and just keep hoping she's ok and will come home soon safe and sound. So I want to say HI MAMA we love you and miss you so much!!!

XOXOXOXOXOXXOXO

I am innocent!

Well, first, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I am kinda glad the holiday stuff is over with. It was hard having that tree in here and then there was that incident with the Christmas tree stuffie ...well a guy can only take so much before he has to take it out on a stuffie. And I'd like to point out that it was MY stuffie - NOT HERS!! And it was silly-looking but I am sorry I attacked it so there. It's a new year and I won't do it again, although I would like to say right up front that I do not have any of those silly resolutions. I am a perfectly good boy as I am and do not need to reform or resolve anything. I know there are those who might disagree but a guy can't help it if he sometimes has a little gas... and believe me I have no corner on that market around here and that's the truth!
Ok well stay healthy and safe, specially you, mama!!! We love you!!!
