Sierra's Scoop

Hi everyone, it's Sierra. I have been thinking a lot about last weekend. Lake Tahoe is always such a fun place to visit. The water is so cold that it tastes like the bottled stuff. Daddy tossed a stick into the Lake to see if I would fetch it. I could only go in chest deep before I started to shiver. We are still so sad and confused why Cousin Kobe ran away. His loving family is still waiting to hear about his well being and appreciate all your positive thoughts.

Happy New Year Take 2

We spent the very first day of 2012 with Mommy's side of the family. Look at this feast. Grandma really outdid herself.


After dinner, it was time to go outside and sit by the fire. The humans roasted some marshmallows.


And ate some ice cream. I guess there is something magical about eating ice cream when it's cold outside.


We can't imagine a more pawfect day than being with family...and spending it outside (that was my favorite part).

Introducing...

...our new Cousin, Kobe. Here is his Petfinder photo. Auntie Kim and Uncle Sean fell in love with him. Today they drove all the way down to the Mojave Desert to bring him home.

They stopped by on their way home so we could meet our newest Cousin. Isn't he a beauty?


The lady at the Shelter thinks he's a Shiba Inu mix. We think he could be mixed with German Shepherd, maybe? What do you think?



We're so thankful for the newest addition to our family and even more grateful that Kobe has found such an amazing furever home. We think Auntie Kim and Uncle Sean are pretty amazing! We're already looking forward to all the play dates, hiking trips, camping adventures, and romping in the snow.

Sierra's Scoop

We have been living the life lately. Over the weekend I went to the beach with my family and some of our friends and we had so much fun. I loved every minute of it. This was my very first time seeing the ocean. I thought Lake Tahoe was big but I was pretty amazed by the ocean. It looks like it goes on forever. WOW!!!

Besides lots of sea gulls, there were a bunch of sea shells scattered across the beach. I found a big one but it was kind of stinky.
Then I saw something very strange. It looked like a big spider crawling on the sand. I think I was getting too close because it tried to pinch my nose. Just then a big wave came in and swept the little dungeness crab back to sea.
The only thing I didn't like was all the sand. I played fetch for like two throws then I got sand in my mouth.
Also the sand is hot so you have to dig down to find some cooler sand.

Fun on a Friday

Merry Christmas, everyone!!! I hope everyone had a fun and wonderful day. Sierra and I had a lot of fun opening presents today. We got a very special package from our dear friend, Siku. Inside was a beautiful Christmas card with photos of Siku and her pawesome pawrents. She also sent us two bags of delicious cookies from Dugans Barkery. One bag of Hana's Hearts and one bag of Kona's Kisses. I think Santa liked his cookies and milk. He brought us a soft squeaky bone, a squeaky wheel, and a disk rope toy. Maybe we'll share more photos of our new toys tomorrow.:) It took me less than five minutes to break through our new soft squeaky bone. Mommy hopes to operate on it and piece it back together. Do you like our attempt at a family photo? Daddy says the results are priceless!

Thankful Thursday

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! This really is the MOST wonderful time of the year. It's time for family get togethers, baked goodies, Daddy having extra days off, waiting to see the white stuff, and waking up to see what Santa Claus brought for me...I mean for us. I hope he loves the cookies and milk that we are leaving for him. I am very thankful for my pawesome pawrents and sister, Sierra. I think Sierra is really going to miss the Christmas lights. It's such a wonderful celebration for my favorite part of the year. Winter!!!

Thankful Thursday

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! I hope everyone had a fun day filled with family, food, and fun. Daddy deep fried a turkey this year. Everyone said it was amazingly delicious. Sierra and I got our own plates. Turkey, Korean bbq, mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes from our veggie garden. As soon as Daddy set down our plates, Sierra was business as usual. Breaking world records. I hadn't even taken a bite before she was done with her bbq beef. I hope she doesn't have too much gas later from scarfing down all that food.

Today we...

...went to a family dinner at my auntie and uncle's house. Daddy's Grandma was there, Daddy's Daddy was there, Daddy's sisters and their families were there. One of my aunties and uncle have 2 fur babies in addition to their five daughters. They have an English Bulldog named Patches and a Beagle named Lolli. They are both super cute but Sierra and I are not allowed to play with them. Patches is very protective of Lolli (like a Mommy would be of her daughter). They stayed in a separate part of the house while we were there. Auntie and Uncle's new house has a HUGE backyard, close to an acre. We had so much fun running around in the HUGE field. For dinner the humans had lasagne, garlic bread, and salad. Sierra and I had our share too. There was an array of desserts but Mommy only let us have some of the pumpkin bars that she made. We had a blast today. The only bad thing was that Mommy forgot her camera.
