Hi Furiends!

Bed digging is serious business!  I do this every night.

A Pumpkin-ey Camping Trip

Hi Everybuddy!

My parents took me on a super fun camping trip this weekend for my Mommy's birthday!  We went to a campground that is on a bluff right over the ocean with a dog-friendly beach!

We love to see signs like this because it means that our whole family is welcome here.

On our first day there we walked down to the beach and took a stroll around.  I like the beach and the sand very much.  In this picture I am contemplating the bigness of the ocean.

The next morning I was feeling very happy and well-rested after a good nights sleep in my Mommy's sleeping bag.  I like to sleep all cuddled up with her because her sleeping bag is big enough for both of us.  Sometimes I switch over to Daddy's bag, but his is smaller, so it's less roomy.  Mommy actually bought her sleeping bag extra huge specifically for me.  She felt a little silly when she bought it when the salesperson asked her why she was getting such a huge bag and she said "because I share it with an eight-pound dog."  That doesn't sound very big, but I assure you, I can take up a lot of space.

The weather was very nice and sunshiny.  I love the sunshine, especially when I can sit on my Daddy's lap and soak it up.

Later that day we went to our favorite dog-friendly pumpkin patch.  I love pumpkins!  I did some very good posings with them, don't you think?

I even went on a wagon ride!  The pumpkin that my parents picked is even bigger than me.

It was hard to look in the right place because there were so many people and dogs and children all around.

There were some pretty sunflowers at the farm, too.  We parked our pumpkin wagon in front of them to take some pictures.

I hope you had as nice a weekend as I did!

Basket Ride!

Hi Furiends!

I went on a basket ride today with my good friend Maggie. The weather was a tiny bit cool, so we brought our fuzzy blankets with us just in case. We each rode in our own basket. I like to ride in front, and Maggie was very gracious to let me and my Mommy take the lead for most of the ride. If someone tries to pass me, I get a little loud and yarpy!

I Am Getting Ready for Howloween!

Hi Everybuddy!

Can you believe it's October already?!  It's almost time to get dressed up for Howloween.  I like Howloween because I get to wear a special outfit.  Usually we go out to dinner and then go visit my friends and grandparents to show off my costume.

Let's take a walk down memory lane!

2005 was my first Howloween.  I was a pumpkin.

This costume was a little difficult to wear, but oh it was delicious!

I couldn't help it; I was just a baby puppy back then!

In 2006 I was a Bee-Dog.  This was a fun costume and a fun photoshoot.

Back then there was a really fun website all about dogs in bee costumes.

Mommy was hoping my picture could go on that website, but shortly after she sent it in,

the website stopped putting up new pictures.

In 2007 I was Sooper Pooper!  Mommy made this costume for me by hand.  Thanks, Mommy!

It's hard to see in this picture, but my yellow belt has little stars on it!

In 2008 I was a lizard...or maybe a dinosaur.

I got this costume from some friends who thought I would look cute in it.

I think it looks like the lizard-saurus is hugging me!

In 2009 I was an enchihuahua...get it?!

Mommy made this costume for me and she is very proud of it.

I love this costume.  On the front there is an ingredients label that says,

"100% Delicious Enchihuahua.  Made with all natural ingredients:

tortilla, beans, lettuce, red sauce, and love."

In 2010 I was a One Eyed One Horned Flyin' Purple People Eater.

Do you know the song?  My Mommy and my Grandma used to sing it a lot when my Mommy was little.

Mommy made the wings for me to wear over my purple sweater.

I was not feeling good that year because my back was hurting a little.

When I felt better, Mommy let me wear my costume.

In 2011 I reprised the Bee-Dog outfit.

I have my costume all picked out for this year.  I will give you a clue.  It is red.  It also involves a small piece from my very first Howloween costume.  I can't wait to show you!

Do you have Howloween plans?  Have you decided what you are going to be?  I'm excited to see everyone all dressed up!

Football Sunday

Hello Furiends,

Today I am watching football with my Daddy.  I have a special jersey for the team that he likes.  It's red and it says 49ers on it.  I am number 00, which I think is a very good number!

Unfortunately I don't really understand football, and sometimes I get sleepy while we are watching.  That's okay.  Daddy doesn't mind.  Besides, I always wake up when he yells, which happens an awful lot.

I hope you are having a nice, relaxing Sunday afternoon, too!

A Nice Sun Spot

I love it when the sun comes in the window in the afternoon and shines on my favorite pillow. It's the perfect place for a nice sunshiny nap.

Uh Oh...Dog Shaming

Hi Everybuddy!

I went to visit my friend Maggie at her house yesterday and I was a tiny bit bad.  My Mommy made this "dog-shaming" sign for me. Don't worry; I'm not really in trouble. It's all in good fun!
