My Vocabulary

Mom says that I know a lot of words. It's funny though, I don't seem to hear the words I know as often as I used to. Instead mom says things like this...

• "We're off to the d o g p a r k"

• "Norm and I are going to B o u l d e r - he needs some new s n a c k s"

• "Don't tell him that the store is out of t e n d o n s"

• "I think we'll take Norm to c a m p tomorrow"

• "It's just about time for a w a l k"

Mom says that grandma thinks it's pretty funny. Speaking of Grandma, mom says she's coming to visit soon. I hope she brings me those yummy treats from Nebraska. What are they again...oh yeah...tendons, I hope she brings me some tendons. Mom says that Grandma isn't going to want to play "where's grandma" this time - but that we might get to go to the mountains and see her for a while soon. I love going to the mountains!

My 2 year old portrait...and Miss Ivy

I was sitting in the window the other day, just watching out and mom said "Stay put, I have to go get the camera" So I did...and she did...and well, she got some good ones, you can even see my left eye (my left, your right), hiding in the brindle :)

She said I'm a handsome big boy.
Then last weekend, mom came home from work on Friday and we got in the car and went to Ivy's house. Ivy has a big backyard and we played for hours! We played inside and outside, in and out all night, until apparently my assistance was not needed for building something, so then I got to nap in the car for a while. And then, I was exhausted ALL weekend long! We had lots of fun and I hope I get to see her again sometime soon.

Mom says it's my Birthday!

I'm one wiped out birthday boy today. Mom and I watched the Huskers play in the Gator Bowl - I even cheered a whole bunch, mostly when she did. Then mom drove me to the Dog Park so that I could run and play with my doggie friends. I mostly played with Frosty & Dozer the great danes today, and man did they wear me out.


Mom says I've really grown...I'd say...see how big I was when I came to live here...

That was on March 17, 2007...and I was all of 18 pounds.
And boy...growing up was exhausting.

And now...I'm a whole two years old and quite a big boy. Mom says I'm about 80 pounds these days.
And quite handsome, too.


And...she still lets me sit on her lap.

I think I'm a lucky dog!

I went to Grandma's house

I'm still really sleepy. It's been a long week. Mom says we drove about 1500 miles on our trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house all the way in Nebraska. We were in the car a long long time, and I stayed awake almost the whole time.

Grandma was still at school when we got there. The next morning I modeled the reindoggie outfit for her, and then she said she had to go feed the birds. I wanted to help, but mom said I had to stay inside. So I watched grandma very closely from inside the house. In my reindoggie costume.


Mom says I have more pictures to share, but we'll save them for a little while. Time for another nap I think!

Merry Christmas!

Mom says Christmas is next week. She says we're going to some place called Nebraska to visit Grandma...and she says Grandma has goodies waiting for me!

Without further ado...here's the holiday card mom helped me make!

Happy Holidays...

Grandma sent me a package this week...
And now I'm a reindoggie.

Sickly Sunday

I wasn't feeling well today - I made mom get up at 3am to take me outside, then I made her take me out 4 more times before it was even light out. My tummy was upset and I was grumbling. I spent most of the day snoozing and watching football. The good news is I'm feeling much better and ate all my dinner.
