We got...

...some new toys today.  I got a squeaky purple hippo and Sierra got a squeaky fuzzy bone.  We both love our new toys!

What is that loud buzzing...

...noise coming from that torture device?  Mommy and Daddy call it a Dremel.  Whoever heard of such a thing?  They use it to trim my nails every now and then.  Sometimes I can tolerate it and sometimes I want to bite it.  I guess it's better than the hard metal clippers that snap off my nails.

Can I just...

have my treat?  Why do Mommy and Daddy think that I should always do tricks for my treats?  I try to tell them that I just want my treats without having to do the tricks.  Do they listen?  No!  By now, they should be convinced of how smart I am and that I can do anything they teach me.  I guess I will entertain them, be a good boy, and do the tricks for my treats.  Sierra just learned "high five" and it's hilarious.  Just look at her.

Guess what Daddy did today...

...without me?  He went snowboarding with Uncle Jeremy, Uncle Alex, and Uncle Jeremy's co-workers.  Can you believe he went to the snow and forgot to take me?  I guess it's ok since he said he'll make up for it by taking us to the snow next week!

A present for Mommy...

...from Daddy, Sierra, and me.  This is what Daddy painted and distressed for Mommy.  I guess you can say it's an early Valentine's Day gift.  It used to be plain oak but Daddy made it beautiful for Mommy.  She loves it.  Daddy did most of the hard work but Sierra and I watched over him to make sure he was doing a good job.  We approve!  So does Mommy!

Pizza bones, anyone?

My Mommy is a great chef!  She makes lots of wonderful things for Daddy and for us.  One of my favorite things that Mommy makes is her homemade pizza.  I just hope and hope that they will leave me a pizza bone.  What is a pizza bone, you ask?  It's what humans call pizza crust.  They are a slice of heaven!

Hurry, before the rain comes back

We got to take a walk before the rain started up again.  We had a nice time at the park.  I ran up and down the slide...Mommy was too slow to record me.  After my hard work out, I decided to rest a while on the jungle gym.  On our way home, we passed something really strange...someone had written something on the sidewalk.  It said, "Free Larry."  How do they know Daddy's name and why do they think he needs to be free?

My fortress of solitude...

...is sometimes underneath our dining table.  Tonight, like most nights, I go there to be away from Sierra so that I can enjoy my delicious Greenie!  I am not allowed to have one every night but boy do I love it when I do get to have one.  Mommy and Daddy think they smell icky but I think they are yummy!

Who invented this evil thing...

...called a vacuum?  It makes A LOT of loud noises.  Mommy brings it out atleast once a week, sometimes 2 if we are having guests.  It sucks up all of our pretty white hair.  I used to be a lot more scared of the vacuum when I was a baby.  My Daddy held me once to try to get me used to it.  Now I am tolerate it but still don't like to be too close, especially when it's in use!  Mommy had to bribe me for this photo with a piece of Tillamook Monterey Jack cheese.  I guess the cheese was worth it!

Everything is wet...

...including me.  We went for a long walk today and I got pretty wet.  Mommy tried to take a picture of Sierra and me but she wouldn't sit still.  When we got back from our walk, I found ice in our front yard.  I wonder who left it here???

My favorite place in my house...

...is the kitchen.  Why do all yummy things come out of there?  Mommy makes my delicious cookies and dinners in the kitchen.  I see her getting Greenies from a drawer in there too.  The kitchen has to be the best room in the house.  It is one of my favorite places to hang out in.

It's nice...

...to have the park all to ourselves.  If Mommy times it right, on some days we have the park all to ourselves.  I love running around on the grass. Sierra loves  hunting for pine cones!

Happy Inauguration Day!

One of my favorite places to sleep

Can you see me?  I don't know why my Mommy took a picture of my bum but she thinks it's too cute that I like to sleep under the bed.  This is where I used to sleep when I was a puppy.  Now I can barely fit under there but it's where I like to sleep when I need to be alone...(away from my sister).

Grandma's home

Today we went for a long car ride to the San Francisco Airport to pick up my Grandma.  We didn't take any pictures while we were there because we didn't even get out of the truck.  Grandma had a nice visit to Korea.  Uncle Bey Bey won't be spending the night anymore.  Look at the big water bowl my Daddy left for us when they went to Costco (without us).  Do you think it's big enough?

Is it camping season?

When I saw Daddy pulling out the sleeping bag, I started to get excited. Sleeping bags=camping! Yayyyyyyyy!!! But I was wrong. Daddy said it's too cold for camping right now. He pulled it out so Mommy could wash it. Thanks for getting my hopes up Daddy!

Goin' for a ride

Today was the last day to go to work w/ my Daddy.  He thought we would celebrate by going for a ride on his employee's motorcycle.  I was ready to go and then Daddy realized that he only had one helmet.  Oh well...maybe next time.

Another hard day at work

Today was our 2nd day at work with Daddy.  We had fun watching Daddy and his employee work on all the cars.  Daddy works so hard it makes us tired.  I tried to take a nap at work but My Uncle was on my bed all day.  I let him have it since I love him so much.  After our walk, we all were very tired and ready to go night night.

A hard day at work

My Grandma and Grandpa are on their way to Korea and my Mommy is helping at Grandma's cafe for the rest of the week.  Today was day one.  We all went to work with Daddy and had a fun Puppy Party at Daddy's work.  I slept a lot.  I don't know why I was so tired today...maybe from watching Daddy work so hard?

My Uncle Bey Bey

My grandparents are going for a LONG plane ride to Korea so my Uncle Bey Bey will be staying with us for a few days.  We are going to have so much fun!

Car ride to Toyota

Today we went to meet daddy at Toyota.  One of the windows on Mommy's SUV is making weird noises so I hope they can fix it.  I wonder if it's all my hair that's making all that noise.  It is my favorite window to lean on when we go for car rides.  I was a good boy and even got to walk around the entire lot.

Milo, my best friend

Last night we went to my best friend Milo's house.  We had a lot of fun chasing each other and playing in his backyard.  Milo is bigger than me but I like to show him who's boss.

Park fun!

We had a great walk to the park today.  Sierra and I did lots of zoomies there and had fun chasing each other.  Tonight we are going for a car ride to see  my best friend Milo.  

Mommy is finished!

Mommy and Daddy were up really late last night finishing up Mommy's audition tape for Survivor.  I hope Mommy gets picked because she really wants to be on the show.  Secretly, I hope she doesn't get picked, only because she will be gone for a really long time if she does.  Who will make all my treats?  Who will make my dinner?  I don't know if Daddy knows how to bake or make the chicken for my dinner.  I am so happy that life is back to normal.  Now we have lots of time to play!!!

P.S.  Mommy says she will post her audition tape in March.  She doesn't want to jinx anything.

Look at all my toys!!!

And no one to play with.  I am safely guarding them from my sister, Sierra.  Mommy and Daddy are very busy finishing up the last of Mommy's audition tape for Survivor.  I will have to wait until tomorrow so they can play with me and all my toys.

Let me in!!!

This is what happens when I stay outside for too long.  Mommy and Daddy close the door on me because they say it's cold.  What does that mean?

We were locked in the kennel...

...because Mommy was working on her audition tape for Survivor.  Can you believe we were put in jail for something she called disorderly conduct?  What does that even mean?  But atleast we were released early for good behavior.  Wish my mom luck on getting picked!

Another rainy day

It was raining for most of the day today.  I thought I was going to have exercise on the treadmill.  Thank goodness the rain went away in time for me to get a walk!

My mom bribed me

Hey, those towels smell like me!

Mommy likes to put Musher's Secret on my paw pads because we walk a lot!

Remember Mommy gave me a new rope toy today?  Well, I think she used that to butter me up for bath time.  I was a good boy and went right into the bath tub without being told.

I got a new toy!

My mommy gave me a new toy today.  It's a rope.  I don't think I'll have a problem shredding it!

A day at my Grandparents' house

K, Mommy, no more pictures.  It's time to play!

We were not cooperating.
This is the first picture.

Sierra and I went to our Grandparents' house today.  Mommy and Daddy had lunch with Grandma (Grandpa was playing golf for the 3rd day in a row).  I played with my uncle, Bey Bey.  He's older than me but I am much bigger.  Mommy tried to take some pictures of us but we were not in the mood for candids.  She had to settle for a few posed shots.  She hates those.

Daddy's home

It rained almost all day today.  I was sad that I might not get a walk but the rain stopped by the time Daddy got home.  We were able to go for a walk after dinner.  I love that Mommy and Sierra stay home with me all day.  I get super excited when Daddy comes home.  This is what happens when Daddy comes home every night.
