10 months old

on an anniversary trip with my folks. we stayed at a fabulous inn in galena, il, where they included special treats for me with the turn-down service. everyone who saw me fell immediately in love. i seem to have that effect on people.

car safety

i don't care who you are or how safely you drive your car. protect your pooch AND yourself by keeping us in the backseat with a seatbelt or in our crates! read this if you don't believe me: http://willmydoghateme.com/car-safety-for-dogs/use-some-car-restraint-small-dog-edition

here's me in my car seat on the way to galena, il, where we went for mom and dad's anniversary last weekend.

good morning

oh, good morning. i hope you don't mind that i've been cuddling you ALL NIGHT.

...but you DO realize that it's the ass-crack of dawn, right? what's that? you say you have to get up and go on a run before it gets too hot?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T MAKE ME GET UP! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

{okay, i finally managed to get up, but ONLY after i barked at mommy until she gave me a treat}

summer bedding

i approve. but this photo shows me trying my hardest to convince mommy and daddy not to go to work. i almost succeeded.

(i know most of these have been cell phone pictures lately; that's the best i can do when there's no time for uploading large files from the nice camera)

soul mates

i met my soul mate this weekend. her name is lainey and she is two months older than me. if you look closely, you can see that we're holding paws.

new hideout

my grandma bought me a new hiding place. sometimes nobody can find me and then it turns out i'm tucked away in here. i love it. and my ma loves that it makes a cute end-table.
