Slumber Party

Momma and Poppa were away last night so Charis came to stay with us. We had lots of fun. She brought two little girls over with her and we had a slumber party. It was kinds like camping but indoors. Momma and Poppa are back now and I'ze so happy to see them - not cause we didn't have fun - cause we did (Charis even took us for a walk). But we missed them.

It's time to help the seals again

please help us to help the little seals. Poppa bought Momma a bubble bar from Lush - all the proceeds from the sales of the bars go to help the seals. Check it out here. They areout of stock online right now but if your near a Lush, please stop in. http://www.lushusa.com/shop/results/ http://www.seashepherd.org/

It's nap time now

The weekend started with us going over to Aunt Corey's on Friday night for cake and pizza for Uncle Crumley's b-day. The cake was chocolate because that's his fave - I don't know why that matters though - I can't eat chocolate. But I did get some left over pizza - it was delicious. On Saturday Momma brought L&M over and they took us to the park. Then in the afternoon we all sat out on the front lawn and played with the neighbor. L&M slept over and left early this morning. But then they were back in the afternoon and took us to the park again. Today Poppa went with us too and we spent two hours at the park and played with so many other pups! On the way back we were very tired from all the fun. We let Lauren walk us and she did really well. It's good to know when we stay at her house, she can walk us if Aunt Corey is too tired or busy. They've gone home now and they only downside to the weekend is that the girls didn't eat any meals here so they didn't drop any food for us. Although we did manage to steal and animal cracker this afternoon. Now we're napping and loving it. We're loving the spring weather too!

Proof that Spring is in the air

Happy St. Patty's day everyone. It was the most beautiful day here today with temps in the mid 50 (it's supposed to be even nicer tomorrow). In celebration of St. Patty's we wore our shamrock bandanas today. We went for a long walk and everyone was complimenting me - I'ze eat that up!! One guy even said "Top of the mornin' to ya". That was quite odd given that it was actually afternoon and that the entire time that we lived in Ireland we never heard anyone say that even once. People also stopped to ask Momma if we were Irish Setters.

Monte went for a nice swim - he was paddling out to try and get some ducks in the lake but they swam away too quickly for him. I swam a little too but I don't go out as far as Monte does - someone needs to keep and eye on Momma and make sure she doesn't run away.

The weather right now really is perfect - it's not too cold or to hot - it's just right. We're so glad that Spring is here and that all that terribly cold weather and gray days are behind us. And look at the flowers I saw in the park.

Look what Poppa brought us from his trip.

This is Barney and Tex. We've been playing with them all weekend. We'ze so glad Poppa is home.

Two little pugs

came to visit us today. They are tiny compared to me and my brother. I'ze say each one of them is the size of my head. They'ze pretty little. They were here to meet us because they are going to stay with us when their family goes on vacation in April. I'm kinda lookin forward to having them over. They'ze full of energy and it's going to be fun watchin Momma try to keep them off the couch. If I have my preference she'll allow them on the couch cause then she'll have to allow Monte and me too. I forgot to have Momma take pics today but don't worry I'll have plenty when they are here. Other than that, it's been pretty quiet over here with Poppa gone. Mabel's dad came over for a little bit yesterday - he's allergic to us so we tried to rub up against him as much as we could. :-) Only two more nights without Poppa.

Spring is in the air!

We'ze had such a wonderful weekend. The weather was absolutely wonderful all weekend long. On Friday we went for a two hour walk - it was great. We made a new friend name Chase. He's a five month old yellow lab. We also met up with Dixie and Carley. Carley and us walked all the way home too.

The weather was equally wonderful yesterday and Carley came over to visit for a while. Later in the day, Momma and Poppa took us to the park. But first we dragged Momma across the street to visit with Elvis. Elvis was sitting outside watching his Poppa wash the car but called us over as soon as we came out. We also ran into Diogi on our way. The park was packed though. People and pups were all out in full effect.

Today the clocks changed which was a very welcomed event. It does get light later but the longer evenings are well worth it. We got up and went on a very long walk first thing in the morning. There weren't nearly as many people out today as there were last night, probably because it was so early. We walked around all of Audubon Lake and met a few new pups. On our way back we decided to do muddin'. Needless to say, Momma and Poppa were not very pleased with the result. We got a bath in the yard before we'ze was allowed to set foot in the house. Shortly after our bath Monte got in BIG trouble. Him and I were hanging out in the living room and he climbed on the couch. I told him to get down but Poppa caught him and Momma flipped. We'ze not allowed on the couch and I'ze ok with that but Monte says he needs to climb on the couch to look out the window otherwise how can he be expected to protect the house. Needless to say, the couch was wet and furry! After lunch Momma went out in the front to do some yard work and we'ze went with her. We sat out there for a couple of hours and ate our rawhides. We were very well behaved except for two times when pups came walking down the street and we ran up to them. We really liked sitting out front and watching the cars and people go by. It was a nice change of pace. Momma says that maybe we can do it again the next time it's nice out. Tonight we watched Nascar - Kurt Busch won - we hate him.

Now we're just laying around watching some tv and snuggling with Poppa while we can. He's away all week. We'll miss him. But that means that we'ze get to sleep in bed with Momma!!

What we did tonight

It snowed through the night and most of the morning. We'ze love the snow!!

A big snow storm is on it's way!!

It's supposed to arrive in the next hour and a half and it's supposed to continue to snow til tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait.

Me having fun with my brother in the snow!
