A Day at the Park

Riley and I got to go on a fun, new adventure today. We go on walks in our neighborhood all the time but today we got to go to the park. As soon as Dad opened the car door to let us out, we were both instantly excited at all the new sights and smells. There were a lot of other dogs at the park today, and of course I had to check them all out. We also met some really nice people on the trail that wanted to pet us, which you know I love! One of them called me short though which I didn't appreciate. ; ) It was a fun trip although it was such a hot day today, especially for someone furry like me. Luckily the trail we walked on had some shade.

Of course Mom had to take pictures of us like she always does so here are a couple more.

What's Going on Around Here?

It's been a while since I have posted but a lot has been going on in my world. First of all, something weird happened today. When mom opened the door to let Riley and me out this morning, the ground had turned white. And not only was it white but cold, wet and it got stuck in my paws. It took me a while to decide to venture off the deck but after I did it was pretty fun although I still prefer the soft green grass.


I don't think Riley liked it as much as I did though.


Something else that's weird around here is that Mom and Dad keep saying the word "baby" a lot. I've heard the word before, mainly when Mom refers to me as her baby, but they keep saying things like, "when the baby gets here" or "that will look nice in the baby's room". I'm getting a little worried that maybe they're getting another puppy or something to replace me as the baby. I'm keeping a close eye out because I don't know if I'm ready for anyone else to move in. I let Riley move in, isn't that enough?

A Fun Weekend!

Riley and I had such a busy weekend. First we loaded up with mom and dad and went to visit grandma and grandpa. We had so much fun! Grandma plays with us as much as we want and gives us lots of ice to crunch on even though mom tells her not to. We love ice! We got to see so many people this weekend which always makes us excited.

After we got home, mom and dad had some friends over. They brought their dog, Maggie. Mom was worried that we wouldn't get along with her because we like to be the center of attention, but we liked her a lot! I showed her all around our back yard and we played for hours. It was also nice to finally meet someone shorter than me! I hope she gets to come back again to play with us.

After everyone left, I was so tired and went right to bed. It was such a long weekend but so much fun for us!

Addiction

(Here I am staring at my favorite ball just waiting on Mom to throw it for me. Hurry Mom!)

Hi my name is Tag and I'm addicted to playing fetch. Well there, I admitted it. What can I say? It's my most favoritest thing in the whole wide world. Chasing that bouncy little ball across the back yard, jumping and catching it in mid air, and then attacking it. It's a rush I tell you! Mom and Dad just don't understand it. They don't understand why I pace by the back door and whine until they let me out to play. Sometimes, even when I push the ball towards them, they still just laugh at me. They just don't get that I'm a hyper little guy just bursting with energy. I'm cooped up all day while they're at work and when they get home all I ask is for just a few minutes of playing fetch. It's the highlight of my little life. And now that it's getting dark outside earlier, I had better enjoy it while I can because I have a feeling Mom won't be so thrilled about going out when it's cold and dark. I guess there could be worse things to be addicted too afterall.

Lazy Summer

Hi everyone! Hope you're having a great Summer! I sure am but to tell ya the truth, I'm ready for Fall! I have too much fur for this Alabama heat. Riley and I have been pretty lazy this Summer. There's nothing better than stretching out on the cold tile on the kitchen floor after playing ball outside. But all this being lazy has caused me to get a little um, fluffy. Yep, the vet said I'd put on a couple pounds in the past few months. I heard Mom say she's putting me on a diet. Not too sure what that means I don't think I'm going to like it.

Riley and I did get to go on a trip a couple weeks ago. We went with Mom and Dad to visit our cousins in Mobile. We had so much fun! The girls played with us a lot and took us on a lot of walks in their neighborhood. And you know how much I love exploring new places. They even gave Riley a bath, but not me! haha! Well I guess that's the update on my little life. Be back soon!

Long time no see!

Well hello everyone! It's been a while huh? When you're a busy guy like me, sometimes it's hard to find time to stay caught up on your blog. Let's see what's been going on in my world...First of all, I had another birthday! Yep, I'm two years old now. Doesn't the time fly? Thank goodness mom didn't make me wear a ridiculous hat like she did last year. Hmm, what else. Oh, and I also went on vacation for a week at the vet. Mom and dad were out of town, so Riley and me got a room at the vet's office. And boy did we get pampered; a bath and our nails done. I was looking pretty handsome by the time mom came to pick us up. Also, mom and dad have been destroying our house! Something about a bathroom remodel. Of course you know I have to oversee that. All that hammering and banging makes me nervous so I have to make sure I know what's going on and that everyone's ok. I guess that's about it for me though. I'm just glad the weather is nice and I get to be outside a lot more. I'll try to stay caught up on the blog so keep reading!

Digging

Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to dig holes in the back yard, but I did it anyway. Mom has probably told me 15,000 times to stop digging holes in the yard, but I just couldn't help it this time. There was something in the ground I just knew I had to see. Besides, Mom shouldn't have left me unattended in the back yard. She wasn't watching so I just dug and dug to my heart's content. Well, then she and Dad caught me and that put an end to all my fun. I never did find what I was looking for in that hole. :( And it got even worse when Dad washed me off with the hose. It was almost like getting a bath...which I hate! I guess that's what I get for not listening to Mom. But at least it was fun while it lasted.
