It’s Friday…I decided to take the day off! Just catching up on my favorite HGTV shows.

I’m not much of a Halloween dog but I sure do love all the visitors that come to the door! I still don’t get the “trick or treat” thing since the kids always seem to take the treats. Heck, I would too!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Here’s a picture of me in my dinosaur costume from last year – it didn’t really fit then and it definitely does not fit now.

I’m not one to cuddle but when dad was out-of-town last week for work, I felt like mom needed a little cuddling. After she was done with work, we’d go on a walk and make dinner before settling on the couch for some TV time. It was then that I would inch my way up to lay by her and my soon to be baby brother. Of course when dad came home, I ditched mom and ran to the door to greet and welcome him home.

Mom said she’s sorry these pictures are such bad quality – she blames it on having an old iPhone 4S.

My parents took me to the trainer’s house the other day for one of our last two sessions. I had a great time meeting all her dogs AND I even got to meet a puppy named Wilson who is training to be a service dog. He was pretty cute – a roly poly black lab.

Overall, I did pretty well. Don’t tell my parents but I’m usually good around Julie (my trainer) so she never gets to see my “bad” side. 😉

Here’s a pic of me waiting to meet Julie’s dogs.

My mom played this video for me the other day and I’ve been meaning to share it. Not only does it send a message to not drink and drive but it also shows how much we (pets) care for our owners. There’s a special bond between us and I’ll always be waiting for them to come home whenever they leave the house.

Happy National Dog Day to all my friends out there!

My grandparents stopped by this morning to say hi. As my parents were showing them the work-in-progress baby room (mainly all the clothes they’ve bought him), I decided to go lay in his closest. I really like being in baby brother’s room, probably because I plan to spend a lot of time in there playing with him. I wonder what it’s going to be like having a new member in the family – hopefully he let’s us sleep in since that’s our favorite thing to do on the weekends (more so my parents than me).

Until then, I’ll wait patiently for baby brother to arrive…

As you know, I spend most of my days inside. My parents would let me go outside more if they knew I would behave (I promise I will!). Plus, I can’t stay in the backyard without supervision since my dad told me my pee will mess up the grass – who knew my pee would kill the grass?!? Anyway, my dad is planning to build a little area in the back where I can go potty so it’s only a matter of time before I’m back out there enjoying the sun.

My dad worked from home the other day since we had the tree guys come again to trim the tree in the front yard. Even though I couldn’t run around outside with them, I had a lot of fun watching them from the window. I even caught myself a couple times day dreaming of running around the yard and playing with my little brother! I can’t wait until he comes so I can have someone to chase around and lick!

Normally when my parents let me watch the big box, they put on HGTV for me. My favorite show is probably Property Brothers and Love It or List It (the original one). However, the other day my mom put on a movie for me and it was A Bug’s Life. Have you seen it? At first I wasn’t super into it because like mom, I hate bugs. But after a few minutes, it grew on me so I watched the whole thing! I especially like the little ant, Dot.

A couple months ago, my parents asked me if I wanted a baby brother or baby sister. They each put out their hands (dad = boy, mom = girl) and asked me to pick one. To be honest, I didn’t really know what was going on so I went for daddy’s hand since he usually gives the best pets.

I guess my wish came true – the baby is going to be a boy! I would have been fine either way but I think it’ll be fun to have a boy around the house.

What I’m looking forward to the most is licking his feet like I did with baby Lily.
