Reservation Hike Photos - 11-2-08

Here are the pictures from our hike today!
I am a handsome man, if I may say so myself.

1st Snow

Hi guys - I am so sorry it has taken me so long to come back and keep everyone up to date on my adventures - mom has been really busy studying for her big test, and Dad has been busy taking care of me and working and going to school! I'm glad her test is done, we get to play a lot more now. These are pictures from my first snow (I was a little confused at first, and Dad had to kind of push me out the door to go to the bathroom), but when I got used to it, I actually had a lot of fun! I wasn't expecting that stuff, since it wasn't even Halloween yet!
(Speaking of Halloween - mom dressed me up, and she's working on getting the scanner working to put in the pictures of me...she thinks I secretly broke it because I'm humiliated at the pictures of me dressed up as a chicken...)
The other pictures are of me today on a hike in the woods that we all took - it was beautiful, and I ran for three hours straight - I had a great time! (I fell right asleep again in the car after, and was snoring!) I was very good and posed nicely for mom and dad so they could get some good pictures of me growing up!
Come back soon and maybe by then mom will have figured out how to totally humiliate me and put the Halloween pictures up - I have to go to bed now, because tomorrow is my graduation from kindergarten! I'm so excited!

What a week! First I went to kindergarten for the first time, and I had so much fun with the other dogs! Mom and Dad were very proud of me; I was very good and behaved myself, and was way better at paying attention than the other puppies :) I also met Delilah, a 14 month old girl vizsla - she was very pretty (I liked her a lot!). Then this week I discovered puddles in the woods for the first time, and got a bunch of baths, which I'm not too fond of. And this morning there were a bunch of deer around, and I kept smelling and hearing them and pointing - this is a picture Dad took of me holding still and listening for them. I usually pick up my right foot, but Dad was slow getting the camera (I held it for three minutes or so...but it didn't occur to Dad to get the camera until I was too tired). Today Dad goes to San Diego with the Jets, and it's another mommy and me weekend. I'm trying to help her study, but I really just want her to play with me...all day!
See you all soon!

I'm not Fat...I'm just Big-Boned

Well, today has been quite a day for me! I went to the vet (Dr. Donna) and I weighed 34.5 pounds!! That's 1o pounds in one month! Mom said she already knew that because she spent all weekend chasing me around while Dad was in Miami with the NY Jets...she made me stay in the house on a beautiful day while she tried to see Dad on TV. (Then we went out and played, so it was OK). Then I lost one of my baby teeth... Mom noticed blood on her arm after me licking her, and when she checked, I'm missing another tooth! Dr. Donna said a lot of my grown-up teeth are already in. And then mom and dad had their first puppy kindergarten class (I didn't go, I get to go next week to meet the other puppies). There will be 4 other puppies, and they're all the same age, so I'm very excited to meet them!
Mom put this picture up because the new joke is that until Cheetah and I can get along, they are going to have to put another window into the side of the house! (I really want to sit there, but she thinks she owns the joint...) We'll check in soon!

School Makes Me Sleepy.

Hello all! No real news here, but just a lot of growing and having fun. Dad has been busy with college work and uses the computer a lot, so I thought I would try to learn, too. I always sit next to him at night and like to rest with my paw on the keyboard so that we're right next to each other. Mom said she's worried she might start to block certain websites for me! Mom is also studying a lot for her boards at night, and we all tend to fall asleep at the same time on the couch. I only fall asleep on top of them, and Mom took this picture of me sleeping right on top of Dad, because she said she couldn't concentrate on her work with the two of us snoring. The cat is slowly getting used to me, but she still gets annoyed when I try to play with her...you can see her coming at me from behind in the picture on top...just when I close my eyes and am not expecting her...she's sneaky like that. (Mom and Dad have actually caught us exchanging some very quick kisses as we pass by each other, but it's rare that that happens without a follow-up swat by her or me!) We start puppy kindergarten next week, and I can't wait to meet the other puppies (even though I still spend hours running around with Simba and Mocha and Panda every day...they even let me play in their tunnel the other day!). I'm going to go back to sleep now, since it is after 9, and that is my strict self-imposed bedtime (I get kind of mad with Mom and Dad when they try to keep me up past then..I've even been known to groan out loud if they make too much noise!) Hope everyone has a good week!

Having A Blast!

Nothing really new to report. I keep growing. Mom and dad think I get taller and faster each day. Here are a few pictures of me running around the woods by my house. Hope you are all doing well.
