At my last spa appointment, the groomers gave me a pink bandana. What do you think, don’t I look cute in it?!?

eyes closed!

Although I’m not full grown yet, I’m not as big as my parents thought I’d be by now. They think I’ll get to be around 40 lbs but I have a bit to go as I’m currently 22 lbs.

I’ve continued to impress my parents by being more well-behaved and with all my new tricks. recently, I learned how to “shake” people’s hand!

first time i went straight to the crate at bedtime

i love hiding behind the blinds

practicing “wait” by the door

my dad thinks I’m dainty

In a previous post I talked about how I love sleeping. This still remains true as you can tell from the more recent photos below. =)

The first week my parents got me, we ran into a neighbor who also got a new puppy. Her name is Cuba and she’s a bull mastiff.

It’s been fun growing up with Cuba, who is a week or two older than me. As you can tell from the photo, she’s much bigger than I am but very playful. We both get excited every time we see each other!

P.S. It took my mom a really long time to finally get a photo of the two of us! Maybe someday she’ll be able to get one without dad and Cuba’s mom in it.

Tomorrow is Mother’s day so I wanted to give a quick shout out to all the moms out there. You’re all amazing and I love you!

And since Father’s day is coming up…happy early Father’s day, especially to my dad – he’s the best!

That’s the name of my doggy daycare. I LOVE going to Rover because I get to run around and play with my friends all day long!

A few of my friends include two shibu inus that belong to the actress Jamie King (although my parents have never seen her there) and a puggle.

Pictures of me playing at Rover coming soon…

i may not look very excited in this picture (heck, it was 7:30 AM) but i promise i am! 

What do you think? Do you think I could be the next Lassie, Benji or Beethoven?!? I never thought I could be a model but who knows, maybe someday…

That’s how you get to Laura and Lindsey’s place…I know it by heart now ;o)

When my parents had to go out-of-town in April, they were fortunate enough that Laura, Lindsey and Micah agreed to take me in for the week. Although there is no place like home, staying at Laura and Lindsey’s place is pretty darn close. I love spending time with my friends – they’re GRRREAT (as tony the tiger would say).

P.S. They were also the kind hearts that took me in back in March when my pops had his shoulder surgery. See…I told you they’re GRRREAT!

These photos may look like I’m a deprived puppy but in reality, I’m actually quite spoiled.

My dad jokes that when he sees these photos, he thinks of the Sarah McLachlan song “in the arms of an angel” from the animal rescue commercial.

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!
