Daddy is building a shed out back and I’m helping. I took a break to chew on my fake stick.

Mommy and Daddy say it’s really warm for December so it’s nice to be outside.

Happy Birthday Nana!

Merry Christmas everyone!

This is my frist Christmas tree. Mommy and Daddy didn’t have one last year because they said I was to little. I’ve tried to chew on the branches and sniff the ornaments, but Mommy and Daddy said I’ve been pretty good around the tree.

Here’s my attempt at singing along with The Jingle Dogs’ Christmas Unleashed album (2.4 Mb MPEG).

Every couple of weeks, Mommy and Daddy give me a bath, clean my ears, do my nails, and put medicine on my belly (because sometimes I get an infection). After my bath, Mommy dries me off with the towel.

I’ve discovered that there are all kinds of goodies in the couch.

After a hard day of playing outside, I like to come in and snuggle with Daddy. I think he likes to snuggle with me too.

Daddy and I played outside again today.

When I think Daddy is getting too close and trying to steal my stick, the hair on my back stands up and it looks like a mohawk.

Here’s a video clip (2.1 Mb MPEG) of me running with my favorite stick.

I also helped Daddy rake the leaves today.

I’m probably one of the only living beings in Bowie that like the electric company (Mommy and Daddy don’t like them because the power goes out every time it storms or the wind is blowing). The electric company visited our house the other day to cut down branches that were close to the power lines. They left behind a yardfull of sticks for me. My favorite is this big one I have in my mouth below.

My favorite game is to get Mommy or Daddy to chase me around the yard with the stick in my mouth.

Happy Halloween (a day early but I couldn’t wait to show off the kerchief and witch hat Mommy got from a friend)!

Sticks are my favorite toy.

Here’s a video clip (1.9 Mb MPEG) of me playing my favorite game—running with sticks with the hope that Mommy or Daddy will chase me.

Today is my birthday!
