Hey guys! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I had a great weekend! We spent most of our time at my Grandparents' house - it was a blast. I hung out with Ally a lot. We played chase, tug-of-rope, and barked back and forth! I also spent a lot of my time trying to steal her yummy-yum food! Oh, and I pooped a lot in the house (which mom was not happy about).

Here we are loving up on Grandaddy!! (he loves it!)

Giving all of that love sure is some hard work - we need a nap!

Drinking some milk!

Playing tug of war!!

As you can see, we had a wonderful weekend together!!

On to other news... Mom loves teaching tricks. Over the years she has taught Aunt Ally to shake, shake with the other hand, give high fives, and to put her head down on command. She even taught Aunt Ally to do those things by just snapping. Ally is a great listener and picks up fast = so do I!! Mom has already successfully taught me to sit and to shake! I love to shake! Mom and I are both really excited about this! Mom saying lying down (along with walking on a leash) will be next!

Here is a picture of my new favorite place (I mentioned in my seven things). I like to lounge here when mom is behind that bathing curtain.

Seven Things and Aunt Ally

I was tagged by The Zoo Crew to list Seven Unknown Things About Me - so here we go:

1. I sleep with mom. The secret is out! I love falling asleep, curled up by mom's head and having my nose pressed up against some part of her face - that it my place! Of course, now that I am getting bigger, I end up in the middle of the bed all stretched out on my back.

2. I loooove, loooove, looooove to have my belly rubbed! Don't stop!

3. I have no perception of distance. I can't figure it out! I think that couch is only a foot away, so I jump, and I end up just jumping in the air. And a few steps later I make it to teh couch. Everyone always laughs at me becuase of it.

4. When mom hides behind that cutain in the bathroom, I get lonely. I can't quite figure out where she is or if she is gone. Well there is a shelf beside that curtain fully of fluffy towels, so I make my way up in there and curl up in the towels until she comes out. Mom has a picture, I will be sure to post it later!

5. I like to watch TV. I will sit infront of the TV and watch the people. They like to talk to me. One time I got really excited and curled up in a U and wiggled at them, but they didn't want to play.

6. I'm confused (sometimes) about what I am. I know I am a boxer because I curl up in a U and wiggle a lot, but I also hop a lot - I love to hop. Mom sometimes calls me a bunny.

7. I was named after a character on one of Mom and Dad's favorite TV shows. It's called Arrested Development.

So there it is, maybe when I get a little older I can think of more things!!
I believe I am supposed to tag some people, but I am not sure who has been tagged already... hmmm... how about...The Dogs of Jackman Ave, Mack, Kaiser, and Cairo. If I didn't tag you and you still want to do, please do and let me know. I would love to learn more about all my friends!!


Like I talked about earlier, I want to dedicate a day a week to my Aunt Ally! I am here with her this weekend and we are having a blast! I like to bark and act big with her, but then she stands over me and lets me know who is boss of the grandparents' house! Just wait a few months... and I will be your same size!

Aunt Ally has a beautiful voice and that is what I want to talk about today. She loves to sing and she can hold a note for so long! Here she is showcasing her wonderful talent!



That's my daddy in that video making Ally sing all funny and rubbing her neck!

Aunt Ally!!

Mom and Aunt Ally go way back. They have been best friends for years - nine to be exact! So, mom and I have decided to dedicate a day to Aunt Ally and each week, on that day, we will talk about Ally. Because Aunt Ally is an hour and a half away and I only get to see her about every two weeks, mom is going to have to help me with this - but Ally is such a cool girl, I am really excited about doing this!

So, here's to you Aunt Ally - Ally Fridays (I know it's Tuesday, but here is a picture of her to get you excited!)




Isn't she the coolest! I get to see her this weekend - YAY!!

My First Time in the Crate!

Yep, you guys read it right - tonight I endured my first time alone, in the hosue, in my crate. Dad left me in there with a dingo and my elephant. I would say I hung out for around 30 minutes and then mom came home. She came in and I was being a little angel, laying down and hanging out. She was so proud of me!














P.S. - I am a lot bigger now than that picture shows. Mom took that picture about a week (or so) ago. I am a growing girl! I was also TWO MONTHS old on Sunday - how about that?....

I don't like that camera! I think I will go hide in my new favorite spot - under the bed!!

Hey guys and gals!

Mom has finally given me a toy that plays back - a water bottle! Those things roll and move all over the place. They are crazy! When I finally get my little mouth around the bootle, I know victory is mine!!

Another good note, Mom is getting excited that I am learning how to tell her that I need to potty. I have gotten about 90% accurate. The other 10% I forget where I am and decide that the middle of the living room floor would be a great place to relieve myself! She get's upset about that, but she really is proud of me with my pottying.

Mom also keeps yelling NO at me. I don't know what that means yet - at all. I just kind of stare at her and keep doing whatever it is that I am doing. She gets really mad about that. But I am over it. I'll just let her keep yelling it and looking silly. Maybe one day she will learn that I don't care about that word.

Ahh, this feels so good, I can't stop....

Football and Calendars

Hey Guys!

I went to the vet this weekend and got a shot! Mom says I was such a good girl! She bought me a Puppy Plan and I have all my baby shots all lined up. Such a good mommy!


Mom and I have been playing a lot. One of my favorite toys is my football! Mommy has taught me to love football

Weeee!!

I'm excited about watching the Super Bowl! Mom and I don't really care too much who wins, but daddy wants the Giants to win because he doesn't like New England. Mommy and I just want the scores to tally out well so that we can win some money with the Bowl Pool - she said she would buy me some yummy treats and cool balls if she won some money!

One last thought. When are the calendar people going to call me and ask me to pose for February?

Maeby Collage

At the request of my Grandma Fran, and some new friends, I decided to post some pictures mom has been taking of me the past week. A lot of them are of me sleep because that's what I do most (as of right now).

Mom says I have already started to grow since she got me! I'm excited to grow! I can't wait to be able to jump on Mom's bed and do big girl things!

Last night marked my first week with Mom and Dad!

Ok, ok, on to my pictures...
