My new costume

So, here's the one Grandma has been waiting for. Mom said that she sent me a new halloween costume. Mom and I looked at a bunch of e-mails grandma sent us that were full of halloween costumes - in my size even! They were all super cute, but my favorite was the Lion. Which mom says is ironic, because I am beyond terrified of cats! No lie, they creep me out!

Mom said she thought she was going to have to do some tailoring, but it fits pretty well, except the hoodie part is a little big, but I know she can fix that. Can't wait for my howl-o-ween parties this year!





Mom says if you are looking for costumes for your furkids - they have them here.

I know that she is going to take more pictures of me in my costume soon, so stay tuned.

Norm the Semi-Frequent Traveller

Mom has started letting me go with her to the mountains sometimes when she has to go for work. We always stay at this nice little hotel - The Inn at Keystone. The guys at the front desk are always so nice and friendly to me. In fact, they're always telling mom that I could hang out with them while mom does her work things. She always tells them that they have no idea what they would be in for. One of these days, we'll convince her.

Anyway, here are some pictures from my stays at Keystone this year. I think the first time we went was when the cousins Daven and Avery were there on vacation, it's always fun to see them!


Here I am at the Inn.

Helping mom bring in the luggage and my crate. (In my red sweatshirt, of course, it was a Husker game day after all!)

Making myself comfortable!

Hanging out with cousin Avery.

It's a pretty great place, and I'm always excited to go back! They have great trails for mom and I to go walking on, and there are always other dogs staying too!

Christmas 2009

I can't believe it's been so long since mom let me get to the computer. I have pictures I want to show you and have got to tell you about our trip to Nebraska last year for Christmas...not that I saw much of Nebraska while we were there.

We had to leave sooner than mom had planned to go to Nebraska. Mom said that grandma was scared that the roads would be too bad if we waited. So we left a day early, only it was night time. We stopped in North Platte and stayed at a little motel that had two little beds. I'm not sure why there were 2 beds, I was perfectly comfortable stretched out next to mom - though she asked me to scoot over an awful lot that night.

Anyway, we finally got to the farm and grandpa Ed was there to meet us. Grandma was still at school. When she called after school, she was surprised that we were already there. Then, when mom got home, I was eager to say hello.


Anyway, it's been a long time since then. What I remember most was that it snowed. A LOT. In fact, after we got to grandma's house, I didn't get to leave the drive way again until it was time to go back to Colorado 6 days later.


Oh, and the power went out, so we used lots of blankets to stay warm when we were away from the fireplace - which wasn't very often.


Mom did let me go out and play one afternoon when it wasn't as cold. Until that day, it had been so cold that I didn't even really want to go outside to "do my business", but mom would make me. Here, I'm modeling the lovely sweater grandma got me for Christmas - see how it matches my boots, pretty cool, huh.



Mom let me drag her all over the yard on the farm, I jumped in a bunch of snow drifts.


And ran around in the snow.


And found the doggy door for the barn...

And discovered that I don't fit through the doggy door.

When we came inside, mom said we had to leave our shoes by the back door, on the papers so the water could melt off and not make a mess - grandma seemed to like that idea.
All that running around made me tired!
This is me, taking a break from the fireplace, hanging out with my pet elephant, on the couch at grandma's.


And here, I'm modeling the pretty bow tie grandma got me for Christmas. I sure have enjoyed wearing it for special occasions this year.

And one last look - keeping warm, near the fireplace. Mom said the power was out for about 36 hours. It was a long time! She also says next time we go to the farm in the winter, we'll bring some of the good grown up drinks, but I don't think they are for me.

It was a fun trip, quite the adventure!

It's All Mom's Fault

I have a bunch of stories to tell you about - but mom hasn't been giving me much computer time. Before long we'll have to tell you about my adventures - like staying in a hotel and driving to Nebraska. Good stuff!

It's all mom

A Package from Grandma

So last week, it was really cold here. It was so cold that I happily wore one of mom's shirts for a few nights. Mom sent grandma a picture, and then, grandma sent me a package...the contents of which I will now model (willingly, for the most part)

For me?Oh yes, it is for me - let me check it out.

A lovely scarf

A green sweater which mom says I look quite handsome in.
(Grandma also sent a red one, for when the green one is in the wash)

And, a lovely red sweatshirt - perfect for Husker game days!

My favorite toy...or the one I haven't managed to destroy

This is the one toy that I haven't managed to destroy...the kong died this week.
