Our visit so far...

Things have been pretty quiet around here so far. Yesterday Aunt Corey was VERY late getting us, but we were happy to see her when she FINALLY showed up. We played outside with Cole for a little while, and then, just to make Momma feel bad, I puked up some grass. Later that night Aunt Corey went home and got our beds, then got dressed up really strange and went outside and made us stay inside. She said something about a hornets nest bigger then our heads... but she made up for it by taking us for a walk when Uncle Crumley got home. This morning we were alone for a while, then they came home and brought friends with them! Unfortunately, they didn't spill much lunch. We just hung out while they played and then I just went outside and puked some more grass. Aunt Corey was giving the girls a bath and didn't hear the icy cream truck until it had already passed - I showed her! Now we are watching High School Musical - wow, those people are strange! We hear pasta is for dinner... maybe they will drop some meatballs! Aunt Corey heard from Momma - the Grand Canyon is a go! Poppa did it! Way to go Poppa - hope you enjoyed your Pizza Hut for lunch! PS - Bad news! Momma helped Aunt Corey pick out new slip covers and it is now very clear to Aunt Corey that SOMEONE has been up on the couch...

in preparation for aunt corey's

we got a bath tonight. As much as we love the water we'ze hate it in the confines of our tub!

We can't wait to play with Cole and Rocky.

Momma and Poppa are going to the Grand Canyon - they'ze be back on Sunday - we'ze miss them. In the meantime, Uncle Gimme and his friend Steve will be building a deck for us.

a shot for political office

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/25917712?GT1=43001 I think Momma should help me look into this!! Who wouldn't vote for me?

Lauren and Maddy just stopped over to bring us a pretzel

Momma took the salt off so we could eat it. We shared some with her. It was delicious. This no eating human food has really gone out the window since we've been back in the States. And we love it!!! Thanks L&M

who says cats and dogs don't get along?

Me and little Big Sis.

This made my puppy eyes tear up

just in time

Momma and Poppa went out today right around the time that the icy cream truck came. I was very unhappy about this. How could they make plans without taking into account the icy cream schedule? Luckily the ice cream truck was over an hour late today and as Momma stepped out of the car she heard the music. We'ze so glad we didn't miss it because this heat is really wiping us out. We'ze went to Aunt Corey's last night and played with Cole for a little while. Cole's Momma told Momma that she and Cole's Poppa are going to go away for a weekend in August and Cole is going to stay with us. How exciting! We'd like it if they went away every weekend!! Also Aunt Corey is going away a bunch in August. Maybe Kitty will be here the same weekend as Cole. I'm not to sure how I feel about that. There would be six of us kids. Momma and Poppa don't have that many hands! Oh well, as long as I get constant pettins' they can rotate through the other kids with their spare hand.

We BabySat Again Tonight

We went over to L&M's house again tonight. Momma and L&M made pretzels. We love Lauren cause she told Momma that she had to make each of us one too! Thanks Lauren.

After dinner, Momma put L&M to bed and came back downstairs.

Monte was checking out if the goggles really were waterproof by wearing them and sticking his head in our water bowl. Apparently the goggles don't stick to your face too good when you have lots of fur like we'ze do.

Later on in the night I thought I heard a noise upstairs so I went to patrol. Fortunatly the coast was clear. But while I was checking on Lauren I looked at her in bed and she looked so comfy - I just had to join her for a spell.

Guess Who Had TWO Icy Creams Yesterday???

We did. First the icy cream truck came by our house and Momma got us one. Later on when after Momma picked up Lauren and Maddy we went to their house. As we were pulling up the icy cream truck was driving up. Momma couldn't get one for L & M and not for us. We'ze wouldn't understand (or we'd pretend we didn't anyway). So she got us another one. She got one for Cole too. While we were at L & M's house, Cole came over to play. Her and Monte chased each other around the yard for a long time. Monte was exhausted when we got home last night and went straight to sleep. We're going to babysit on Thursday again. We're gonna make pretzels that day. Yummy! I can't wait.

Sunday

Cole's Momma and Poppa picked her up yesterday. We had fun. We hope she comes back soon. After Cole left Grandma and Grandpa came over for dinner. We BBQ'd but unfortunately no one dropped any food on the floor for us. :-(. After they left Poppa and Momma took us the the park. We had a nice time and played with a few of new pups we've never met before. Today it feels like we're in Ireland cause it's rainy and gloomy. However, unlike Ireland is very hot and sticky. Later today we're babysitting Lauren and Maddy. Hopefully we'll see Cole again too!

We're having a sleepover

Cole has been here since this morning and she's staying til tomorrow. We'ze having so much fun!! Except Cole is a little brown noser and is constantly on Momma's heels. Other than that we'ze like having her around. While the Momma and Poppa were busy today Cole and Sporkie had some words. I think Sporkie made it very clear that she is the Queen Bee cause Momma picked up Sporkie earlier to show her Cole and as Momma was walking over with Sporkie, Cole ran away. Although who knows, Sporkie may have been setting Cole straight after Cole chased Tanner and scared the daylights out of him soon after getting here today. This afternoon Aunt Corey came over this afternoon with Maddy and along with Momma all the puppas went for a walk to the park. It was so much fun! We'ze heading to bed now. We'ze not sure what the rules are at Cole's house but at our house we each have our own beds. Luckily we've got a third for when we have a friends sleepover - Cole is going to use that one. We wonder is Cole is going to try to climb in bed with Momma and Poppa tonight. She tried to climb on the couch earlier but Momma kicked her off. hehe. She'll learn soon enough.

4th of July Weekend

We had a great time this weekend. Poppa stayed home with us on Friday because it was the 4th of July. We love having him home. On Saturday we went to Aunt Corey's for a BBQ - that was great fun because our friends Rocky and Cole came over. Aunt Corey had a pool out for the kids to play in but Rocky had a different idea (pic to follow). Rocky decided he was going to hang out in the pool. We all had a great time. And Uncle Crumley gave us food. I think I ate mine too fast because I got a little sick but I rebounded quickly and continued to scour the grounds for any food the kids may have dropped. We were there very late and Poppa didn't get up until after 1pm today. Also Kitty had a sleepover at our house last night. That was fun although am pretty sure we like her better than she likes us. She yells at us a lot!! Unfortunately the weather hadn't been great so we haven't been going to the park. Hopefully it'll clear up soon and we can resume our daily outings. I'm heading to bed now. I am very tired after my late night last night. I didn't get to sleep in as late as Poppa this morning.

Happy 4th of July

It's been rainy all day here today which kinda sucks cause it's been really nice all week.

Here is the view from Momma's office window today. The parade went right by our house and Poppa didn't have to work since it's a holiday here. We'ze all tried to sit out on the front porch but Monte got scared and went back inside and climbed on the couch to watch it out the window. He doesn't like loud noises and commotion - he's not brave like me.

And tonight Momma and Poppa were going to take us for a walk but as soon as we walked outside Monte heard fireworks and decided he was going nowhere but back inside.

9 years old!!

Happy Birthday to my little Big Sis. I love you sis.

we had a wonderful walk tonight

Momma took us to the park. On the way there we met an extremely well behaved yellow lab named Scout. His Poppa walks him without a leash and when Scout saw us he didn't cross the street to come play. His Poppa says he knows better than that. Turns out he lives one street up from us. Momma and his Poppa talked for a while and Momma found out that Scout's next door neighbors is a golden retriever named Sunshine. I can't say that I truly believed that I was the one and only Sunshine but I would have never thought that there would have been another one so close to me!! I can't say that I am happy about this. I'ze thinks that I might have to go over there and set that dog straight!! After a while, Scout and us parted ways and we headed to the park where we met two St. Bernards - they'ze was huge!!! We played for a little while and continued on our walk and we ran into Scout again. We walked all around the park together and on the way home Momma decided not to put us back on the leash to see how we'd do. Bad idea. First house I saw I'ze ran up to their front door - hehehe. Momma yelled and then I tried to run into their yard. Momma was not pleased and back on the leash we went. All in all we had a great time though and hopefully we'll see Scout again soon.

Look at what the Icy Cream Truck Drive had for us today

She's our new best friend!!
