Mom!

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

[1 year, 5 months]

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to see my breeder Mom Terri, breeder dad Frank, and my dog Mom Pearl. Isn’t she pretty?

I snapped at my Mom and we spent the rest of the night ignoring each other. This is the closest we got (I’m walking away on the left).

Look how I’ve grown

Daddy took this photo of me while I was sleeping.

Compare it with the photo below of me sleeping my first night at home (back on November 25, 2005) when I was a little over 8 weeks old to see how much I’ve grown.

Exercise time

I sometimes help Mommy do her stretches in the morning. Here are 3 video clips of me…

…observing Mommy to make sure she’s doing her exercise correctly: video clip (2.7 Mb MPEG). I don’t know what she finds so funny; this is serious business) …trying to motivate Mommy to do better by taking her mind off of the pain: video clip (1.4 Mb MPEG). …having Mommy stop because she’s doing it all wrong: video clip (3.2 Mb MPEG).

For some reason Mommy now makes sure that she stretches upstairs with the door closed.

New place to sleep

After over a year of sleeping on my bed on the floor, I’ve discovered a new, comfortable place to sleep—the couch. I don’t know why Daddy yelled at me (right after taking this photo) and made me get on the floor because he sleeps there sometimes. Even when he flipped up the cushions so that I wouldn’t jump on the couch, I found a way to get up there.

Footwarmer

We had lots of snow last night so Mommy decided to work from home. I made sure to keep her feet nice and warm.

I love running around with my new rings that Mommy bought me, especially in the snow as in this video clip (4.5 Mb MPEG).

Nap time

Daddy made the mistake of coming home from the fire station and leaving his bed sheets on the floor. Seemed like a great place for me to take a nap.

Bird dog

Just in case you were wondering, I have bird dog in my blood as demonstrated in this video clip (1.9 Mb MPEG).
