Off leash at the park

There is something special about being off leash at the park.  I like to go explore and leave lots of peemail while Sierra just races around wearing herself out.  Today we were the only ones in the park so we had the whole place to ourselves.  If we'd only had a ball to play with....

Sometimes...

...Sierra gets a little frisky and wants to play bitey face. Growl, growl, growl. Woof, woof, woof. Bite, bite, bite. Box, box, box. And then the barking begins and we are in full play mode. We do this almost every day. Mommy and Daddy get a kick out of it every single time.

Sierra's Scoop

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's Sierra. Isn't it funny how a toy can be left in the toy basket for a few days, totally untouched? And then, Daddy brings life to it again by making it squeak or quack or chirp? Then all of a sudden, everyone wants to play with Mr. Duckie. Well guess which lucky girl got to Mr. Duckie first?!

The weather has been...

...very cool and breezy for the past week or so. We love that it's cool enough in the day time to play outside. We love running around the backyard while Mommy works in the garden. We hope the cooler weather sticks around for a while.

Everyday...

...when I go out back, I can smell about a gazillion different kitties. We can tell they've been playing in our yard. We wish they would come in the day time so we could meet them and play with them. Why they come at night will always be a mystery to us. Have you smelled any kitties in your yard lately?

Sigh...

What an unusual winter we're having. Winter is almost over and we've yet to see any snow. So I'm dreaming of being in this place...near the mountains where there is a ton of snow. After the photo shoot I am going to race up to the top and play in the snow. All day long.

P.S. While Daddy was driving home tonight he saw blossoms on the almond trees. It's not even Spring yet and the trees already have flowers on them. Does this mean that the snow isn't coming?

Wordless Wednesday: Play time

Sierra Update

Hi everyone! I don't who's been calling me a sickie, but I was just at the vet and Dr. Johnson said I don't need to go back anytime soon. And besides, I am feeling a lot better today. I've got my appetite back and my tummy feels better. So now it's time to play ball.

Remember that green ball...

...Daddy found last weekend? I was minding my own business and having a ball with our new green ball when all of a sudden, Sierra took notice of what I was doing.

Then she started getting closer and closer.

No, Sierra, you can have your turn later. I was playing with the ball first.

You want a face off, huh?

Now the ball is back, safe and sound with me.

It's all...

starting to come together. We can't wait for Mommy and Daddy to be done painting. It's starting to cut in to our play time.

Some more photos from yesterday....

Daddy went to play in the snow at Northstar. Here he is carefully mapping out his course for this run down the hill.

Can you believe he weaves in and out of those trees? He says there is nothing like untouched powder.

While Daddy was out, we had some fun of our own. Come on, Sierra, lets make as many tunnels as we can!

Hmmm...to snowskate or to not snowskate?

This was waiting for us at the end of our walkie last night. Mommy said it was stunning.

I'm a little...

...suspicious! Why does Daddy have his snowboarding gloves out? And why are they next to my leash? Is Daddy going to play in the snow...without me...AGAIN? Sigh....

We tried...

...a new hike today. It was near the local sled hill. There were so many new things to see and smell.

We'll race you to the top of the hill, Mommy and Daddy!

It was great having the hiking trail all to ourselves. We stopped and played in the snow for a long time.

We went to check in on our friends who were sledding. They seemed to be having tons of fun. Can we get on with our hike now?

What are you waiting for, Mommy and Daddy, we need to finish the rest of our hike.

Sierra is tuckered out from a full day of fun.

Thankful Thursday

I was SO thankful when Daddy came home early to start his vacation. Once a year Daddy's work closes for ten days in a row. It is his only real vacation of the year. He so deserves it because he works hard every day by himself. We went for an early walkie and had lots of fun playing. I'm so glad there will be lots of play time with Daddy. Does this mean there will also be lots of early walkies? I sure hope so! I'm even dreaming if playing in the snow. It is vacation time after all.

Today I...

did a lot of this.

And a lot of this.
Can you believe Daddy is still not home from golfing? That must be some tournament. I mean who plays golf all day and all night? We did go for a walk and enjoyed the cooler weather. Mommy says Daddy will be home tomorrow. I can't wait to see him. I'm all rested up and ready for some play time.

What are you doing this weekend?

Not so Fun on a Friday

We went for an early walkie this morning. Something's up here...we usually for for walkies after Daddy gets home from work. Golf clubs? This early? Are we going on a road trip, Mommy and Daddy?

Well Daddy is. What do you mean we can't come? Ok, fine, we'll stay home and play with Mommy.

Wordless Wednesday: Play time with Daddy

Fun on a Friday

Sierra and I can hear a pup on the other side of our fence. We wonder what kind of dog he/she is. Is he/she friendly? Will he/she want to be friends so we can have lots of play dates? We sure can't wait to meet him/her. I can already tell that we are all going to have some fun with him/her.

Sadderday number nine

Daddy woke up pretty early this morning. Later than he does for work but earlier than he usually does on a Saturday. He was going to help Grandpa with some things at his house. Then Mommy left late in the afternoon...without us. Can you believe that? She said she was going to my cousin's 1st birthday pawty. No pups allowed. Daddy came home a little while after Mommy left. We went for a walk before the rain came back. It rained last night and it is supposed to rain all week. Ok, back to Mommy. After my cousin's party, Mommy went to see Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Bey Bey, and Auntie Sheila. Mommy says Auntie Sheila has gotten big. Just look at the size of her paws. They might be as big as mine already. She and Uncle Bey Bey love to play together. Not to worry friends. It may seem like Auntie Sheila is winning but I'm told that in the end, it's Uncle Bey Bey who comes out on top.

Today...

Milo invited me and Sierra over for a play date. We had a great time rough housing and playing fetch. Daddy played the Wii with Milo's Daddy. It rained for a good part of the day so we were glad to get our walk in early. I love days when Daddy doesn't have to work. Mommy forgot her camera so she took a picture with her phone. I hope you're all enjoying your long weekend.
