Together Again

Mommy and I went to the West side of Michigan today. She wanted to see some of my half brothers and sisters. I had to stay in the car. Then we got to go to see Grandma Pat, Auntie Ellen D, my 4-legged Mommy Jaimie and my brother Kenya.

Mommy Jaimie is as beautiful as I remember. Kenya is a strong young lad with a really big head. I am on the left, Mommy is in the middle and Kenya is on the right. Aren't we a good looking family?

Snow, Snow and More Snow

I got to play in the snow today. It was the first time in over a week that it was bearable to be outside.

Woofin in the New Year

Mommy, Daddy and I went to a New Year's Party today. We had a wonderful time with some of my 2-legged and 4-legged friends. Here are some of the pictures.

New pictures

Here are a few new pictures of me. I am now 9 1/2 months old and growing up quick.

I was chewing on something. That would explain the goofy look.
Streeeeeeetchhhhh

Mommy loves my eyes.

White Christmas Eve

It is Christmas Eve and it looks like we are in for a really White Christmas this year. The wind slowed down so Mommy took me out to play in the fresh snow. I had a good time but it was really cold out there.

Visit with Santa

My brother Kingsley and I spent the afternoon together. We went to visit Santa and then we played for the rest of the afternoon. It was nice to spend some time with him again. We haven't had a chance to play since we were 7 weeks old.
Here I am with Santa. He was a pretty nice guy but I think he should seek some fashion advice from professionals.

Kingsley posed for a picture with Santa too.

My Brother Kenya at 7 months old

This is my brother Kenya. He lives in South West Michigan. What a handsome face.

It's not just me that drools. I hear we get this trait from out Mommy Jaimie.

Kenya's 2 legged Mommy is a fabulous photographer. You can find the link to her website on my blog. Her name is Ellen Dykstra. She is also the one that took the pictures of my whole litter when we were only 5 weeks old.

Fall Portraits

Mommy took me out for some fall pictures before all the color was gone.

Pretty leaves.

Focus
Oh no, there is some mulch on my hand.

A Glimpse Into the Future

This is me with Frank. He is a friend of ours and he comes to some of our PAWS outings and classes. On Wednesday night he took my lead at class and I got to work for him. It was good for me to work for someone like Frank. He is soft spoken and cannot give any real kind of correction so I had to pay real close attention to him. It was also good for me to get used to working next to a chair. I enjoyed working with him.

Mommy says she is sorry for the bad editing of the pictures.

7 Months Old

Well, I am 7 months old now and as cute as ever. This picture was taken before our puppy class.

The Triangle - U of M

This is me and my new friend Carson. He is a patient at the Mott Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor. We met at the Investing in Abilities Week festivities (aka: Dogs at the Diag). We hung out indoors at the Triangle so we were able to meet with lots of staff, students, patients and visitors. It was a wonderful day of PR.
I was giving someone really good eye contact when Daddy took this picture of me. Daddy took a lot of pictures for us to remember the day with.

From L to R: Lightning, Karson (me) and Honey. We tried to get everyone to pose nicely for a picture but it wasn't meant to be. There was too many people walking through and making a fuss over us. I know I didn't mind all the attention and I am pretty sure my friends didn't mind it either.

This was Matthew. He was a very sweet little boy. I gave him a nose stamp to show him that I liked him.

PR Time

Mommy gave me a bath tonight so that I would smell good when we go to the U of M Hospital on Tuesday. This is a big public relations event that Mommy and Daddy take each of their puppies to. It is an opportunity to meet the faculty, staff, students and some patients of the U of M Hospital and the U of M school.

Look for pictures soon.

My First Sailing Trip

Sailing was fun but being snuggled by Aunt Brenda was the best part of the trip.

Here I am with Lightning behind me. She showed me the ropes of sailing.

Hi there. Did you need something?


This was my primary position while sailing. It was very relaxing and all that fresh air made me tired.

Lansing

Grayson and I visited the Capitol building in Lansing. Well, we visited the steps of the Capitol building.
I still do the head tilt.


Here we are at the park. Grayson's Mommy, Lisa, showed us around the area.
