Playing in the Snow

I love to play in the snow. Good thing the snow blower left a place for me to do my business. Here I an jumping around in my backyard.

Winter

Now that it's Winter I have to wear coats. On super cold and windy days I have to wear two coats. I have to watch my feet. If this keeps up I'll need boots too.
Hear I am getting dressed in 2 coats.

Thanksgiving Day

Here I am next to the bird. It weighs 3 times what I do. I wonder which one of us will get carved? Here's hoping I can try some.

Birthday Week

This is a big week for me. I'm having my birthday. It's my first one so I don't know what it means. Everyone keeps calling me the birthday puppy and tries to get photos of me. My people even sent a photo of me to my breeder for the occasion.

Christmas Card Photo

Getting this was a big project. We had a hundred photos taken trying to get a good one of all of us. I think they gave up finally and settled on this one. At least the red backround looks like the Holidays. Nothing else in the house is ready.

Halloween

My Mom dressed up for Halloween but not me! I got to go as an accessory. I enjoyed begging for popcorn balls at the party.

Gondola Ride

On October 13th we went to Vermont on a foliege ride. At Stratton Mountain they let us ride on a gondola to the top of the mountain. I did not really enjoy it but the photo is cute.

Dog Birthday Party

A dog friend named Blue turned 12 so there was a party. I met him for the first time. We had fun and the cake was great. I met a lot of dogs and kids too.

My New Coat

Here I am all ready for Winter. This is my new coat. I'll wear it when I get dressed up.

She is nice.

We had a great time playing in the woods. She is a Bichon.

Finally meeting Mia

Hadley & Holly are best friends with Gaylen & Casey who have a new sister named Mia. We all got to meet her. She is adorable! She looks as big as me but it is mostly hair. I miss my hair.

Do I look Sad?

I got groomed yesterday and they had to take off a lot of hair because it got matted. This was because I had to skip my grooming the last time due to a sore on my neck. This is a long story but here I am going into the colder weather without much hair. You would be sad too.

Mel Gibson

We went to Mount Sugarloaf to visit the movie set. I wish I could be in the movie. It might be more interesting than being on my leash looking at a view. Maybe Mel Gibson will see my blog and give me a part.

View of U.Mass

Potatoes

Today we watched the potatoes being harvested. What a huge machine! I barked at it but it did not hear me.

The Best Pet Sitter

On Sat. we had a big adventure. Our people went on a day trip and did not take us. We had a pet sitter come and we went on a field trip with her. It was a blast meeting new people. We went to a town called Ware. We were a little worried but it was so much fun we forgot about that. We were tired after this day and glad to be home. We told our people all about it when they got home. Here I am with Hadley and the best pet sitter in the valley named Annette!!!

Posing as a Pumpkin

Here I am again on a bale of hay. What's up with this? It prickles sitting here. They make it worth my while to do it. LOL

My New Friends

These people were out in the yard. I was barking at them so I got taken out to meet them. They are kind of quiet (not like me) but I like them. Especially since I got a pupperoni to say hi to them. They didn't try to pat me like most other people do.

Fall Decoration

I want to be one of the Fall decorations. See me sitting still in the front yard where I'm not allowed go go without my leash. I got a new orange collar to match the wheelbarrow. How long do you think this sit/stay lasted?

Fighting over the Chicken

This is my brother's favorite toy. He drags it out whenever we have company. Here I am trying to get it away from him. He lets me have it after a while. I think it's a duck but everyone calls it the chicken.

September

The mornings are cooler and wet so I have a new hoodie to wear on the walk. At first I liked it. Later I tried to take it off myself. Then I gave up. Do you really think I need this?

Bath

They tried to convince me that I was having a good time here. Does it really look like fun to you?

Wierd Shot

My feet are turning brown like my spots. It's hard to get a photo of this. At first it looked like I got dirty feet again. Now it looks like I always have dirty feet. LOL

I have spots like this rug.

Stuck on the Driftwood

I had to sit up here on the driftwood for this photo. I would rather run and play.

No Dogs on the Bed

This is the rule here at the motel. I'm too tired to care.

Beach Baby

I want a longer vacation!

Don't put sound on...

This is a better movie. I need a new videographer if I am to become a star. They get an A for effort however. I really do love chasing birds. Never caught one. I'll keep trying.

Huggy at Rye Beach

I love to run... Here I am trying to catch the birds on the beach. I need to watch out for the waves too. I had a LOT of fun.

Road Trip

We went away for the weekend. I really had a lot of fun. Here I am being Queen of the beach. I love chasing the birds. I got covered with sand and salt but it was worth it.

8 months old

I took a special trip to get weighed. I am now 5.3 pounds. I'm all muscle and no fat. I could run all day.

The River is High for July.

We got a LOT of rain. I better be carefull.

Me & Some of my Stuff

I sure have a lot of belongings. Here I am on my couch with some of the favorites.

Sunflower Crop

The storm also blew down some of the new sunflower crop. At least it was low enough for me to check out the flower at close range. I think it's pretty.

Power Outage

We had a bad storm and the power went out. I don't seem to mind the thunder and lightning but what's up with the candles???

Driver's Helper

I'm a big help with the driving. Here I am with a bird's eye view.
(really I'm in the back, but not in this photo)

Cooling off.

Here we are hanging out in the Mill River. I'm not into swimming but I like to cool off with the other dogs.

Baby Quilt

My Mom has other hobbies I found out. I thought I was her only one. She finally finished this baby quilt that she started before I arrived. Here I am checking it out. It's for a baby named Jack that I am going to meet tomorrow.

Meeting "Grandpa"

This was my first time meeting this guy. Hadley really loves him so he must be OK.

Meeting some Kids & sitting with Mom at the Taste

Taste of Amherst

We had the best time at the Taste of Amherst. I met lots and lots of people. Everyone wanted a turn patting me. There were a lot of interesting things to sniff. I wish I could have eaten there but I already had my dinner.

Hanging Out with Timmy

He we are getting ready to smooch on the bridge over Mill River.

Out on the Trail

I have a lot of friends. This was a busy day out on the trail. I especially love Timmy who is a little white poodle. He loves me too.

First Day of Summer

This is how we cool off. If they can do it, I can too.

Should I Try to Swim Here?

If I try to swim across, I might get swallowed by a snapping turtle.

PUFFER'S POND

This pond is a lot bigger than me. I hear there are Beaver's here. I had better watch out for them. I heard a guy named Richard got bit by one.

What is This???

This flu over the house. We barked at it. The people in it were talking to us. I want a ride in it. Up Up and away.

My First Bath in the Sink

This week I was acting too much like a dog they say. I rolled in something that smelled bad and my white feet were all black. This is what happened. I got a shampoo and dried off and the blow dryer came out. Now I'm clean but the bath made me tired. Here is what I look like soaking wet.

On Duty

Here I am on duty at the window. One of us sounds an alarm if we see something outside worth checking out.
