Happy 7th Barkday

Hi everyone! It's been a long time. We hope every pup is doing great!  We've been busier than ever and miss our DWB friends. Can you believe I'm 7 years old today? Mommy was a bit sad but I told her that 7 is a great age. I mean look at what we get for dinner...chicken and filet mignon!

Sierra and I could hardly wait. Talk about nom noms.

Presents and cake too? How could being 7 be sad, Mommy?  I think it's barktastic!

Happy 6th Birthday, Teddy Bear

Today is my 6th barkday. Where has the time gone?! Mommy made chicken for Sierra and me. Boy was it delicious! (Sierra hates sitting at the dining table so she ate her chicken sitting on the floor next to Daddy).

Look at this itty bitty cake.  Since Mommy has been so busy with her new job, Daddy thought it would be fun to buy my barkday cake this year.  Strawberry chiffon?  Why, yes!

Thanks for the new toys, Mommy, Daddy, and Sierra.  I can't wait to play tug of war with you all.

Squeak, squeak.  Why are squeaky stuffies so much fun?

Happy Labor Day

Today we went to Grandpa's house for his birthday pawty. He turned sixty two years old last Tuesday...so he invited some family over to his house for a barbecue.
There was tons of great food but the cake was covered in chocolate so Sierra and I skipped dessert.

Grandpa was super excited when he opened his present. It was a gift card to go flying in a biplane with a stunt pilot that will take him on a tour around the San Francisco bay.
Grandpa has always had a passion for flying. When he was in his twenties he almost earned his pilots license but because of his expanding family and expanding business he didn't have the time to keep it up. So fast forward to the late nineties when Grandpa was finally pursuing his dreams and again was about to fulfill his requirements to earn his license when he was diagnosed with cancer. He had been having stomach pains that became so debilitating that he couldn't fly solo safely. Today Grandpa is ten years cancer free and healthier than ever but flying is just a little too expensive for him now that he is planning his retirement. It sounds like this will be a ton of fun for him. I can't wait to hear about his flight. It sure was nice to relax in Grandpa's little back yard oasis. I especially liked the misters hanging everywhere. They really helped us all stay really cool. (If you look closely, you can see some of the misters behind Daddy).

How did you spend Labor Day?

Today we celebrated...

...Daddy's birthday. A few of our aunties, uncles, and cousins came over to join in the fun. Sierra loved getting belly rubs and back scratches from our Cousin. Can you see the red duct tape on our screen door? That's because SOMEBODY ran right through the screen because she forgot that it was closed.

Look at all the yummy food. Auntie Beca was first in line. Mommy made bbq chicken, chicken katsu, and grilled asparagus. Auntie Nene brought over a delicious spinach/fruit salad, and Auntie Beca added loaded sweet potatoes to table.

After dinner we all hung out in our backyard. It was a cool and breezy night.

And the best part about birthdays is the cake. Happy Birthday Pawty to you, Daddy!

Sierra's Scoop

I know that I'm a snow dog but after a while my paws get really cold. I don't know if I could run a thousand mile race like the Iditarod. Teddy said that he wants to run the race so I guess I'll have to go too.

Tonight we had some of Mommy's home made birthday cake and it was delicious. Now I know why Daddy always says he loves cake. But then again everything Mommy makes is yummy.
