Dog Swim

Yesterday my mom and dad took me to a local rec center that had a "dog swim" before the rec center did their yearly pool cleaning. I had so much fun jumping in after my toy and I also "retrieved" everyone else's toys! I was very tired afterwards and slept most of the day Monday. Here are some pictures from our fun time!

Fun with Giggles

Here are some pictures of me and my friend "Giggles" playing last weekend. She's lots of fun and loves to jump up and try to attack me. I always try to lie down on the ground for her so she can reach me.

Happy July 4th!

My family had a picnic for the July 4th holiday. I love picnics, because people feed me food from the table, which mom and dad don't usually do. Here's a picture of me guarding the grill. They dropped a hot dog, but mom wouldn't let me eat it.

I Love Belly Rubs!

One of my most favorite things is when someone scratches my belly. As you can see by this picture, even pretty girls like to scratch my belly! This is one of my humans before her dance recital.

My favorite toys

I love toys. One of my favorite toys is the Kong Wubba. (mom says she buys these in bulk.) I like to chase it, whip it around and squeak it. Here is a picture of me playing with my Kong Wubba after my bath.

I also love regular Kongs. My mom and dad fill the red Kongs with peanut butter and treats. It's one of the few toys I haven't figured out how to destroy.

My other favorite toy is any stuffed toy, especially if it makes a squeaking noise. I enjoy the challenge of finding the squeaker and pulling out all of the stuffing!

Bath time

I go to doggie day care 3 times a week, and it's one of my favorite places! I love playing with the other dogs, especially my friends Lucy, Toby and Angel. But after a couple of weeks of doggie day care, my mom says I get really stinky. Bath time is defintely not my idea of fun (as you can see by the picture), but I love running around the yard afterwards. And the best part after a bath: everyone seems to pet me and hug me more!

Freedom at last

My mommy and daddy have started allowing me to be out of my cage when they leave the house for short periods of time. My mom says I can be trusted more now that I'm older. My dad says "We'll see how long this lasts." Even though they leave my cage door open, I still sleep in there when they are gone. I'm going to try to be really good.
