Every sunday night, my parents watch their weekly shows on the picture box (you know that thing that shows pictures and things moving). Whether it’s Game of Thrones, Mad Men or Boardwalk Empire, we catch up right after dinnertime. Although I enjoy the time with my folks, I also don’t look forward to it because it means it’s almost monday and my parents have to go back to work. Big boo!
Two things I love are my toys and the stairs. I try not to play with my toys all at once to keep the house clean but you know me, I have to share the love!
As you can see from the picture below, I was really excited for my first spa day. My parents dropped me off to get a bath and nails trimmed. Needless to say, I felt refreshed after the appointment.
P.S. The groomers said I was well-behaved which made my parents happy. =)
That is all…
Every morning, one of my parents will take me out for a brisk walk before they get ready for work. When we get back to the house, all I want to do is play so I come up with these clever games that my parents love (at least I think they do).
This morning I decided to hide under the bed, which by the way is one of my favorite hiding places. I really didn’t think my parents would find me here but after 15 mins or so, there they were taking pictures of me!
I’ll have to find a new secret hiding spot now that they know where to look. Any suggestions?!?
they have no clue.
hmm…why are they not looking for me?
shoot, they found me! maybe if i stay still they won’t notice it’s me.
okay fine, you found me…but i’m staying put!
I’ve been better on my walks this past week and I owe it all to the sticks I find on the sidewalk.
During lunch today, my mom took me out and we found the longest stick yet! Cool huh?!?
i found a stick!
Literally! When my parents make me get into that thing they call a car, I get a little anxious. I’m the kind of girl that needs to know where we’re going. After a few minutes, I get into the driver seat to help navigate.
So far my favorite places to go include the pet store and Rover (my new doggy daycare).
i know this route!
I’d like to introduce you all to my dearest friends and partners in crime. Most of my days are spent embarking on various adventures with these guys.

And I can’t forget to mention Phil, my original hedgehog pal. I was a bit rough on him while we played one day so mom’s trying to figure out if she can save him. Get well soon buddy!

Family is very important to me. If I’m happy and well-behaved, my parents are happy. That’s why I do my best to please my folks. Though on rare occasions, I can be a bit of a trouble maker (but how can you blame me? I’m a dog!).
note: my mom is holding a chew toy, not a donut.
kisses from daddy
my eyes are glowing!
I’m still getting use to going on long walks with my folks and am easily distracted by all the new smells, people and dogs. one thing that I found helps me stay on track is to hold on to something in my mouth (e.g. leaves, sticks).
