Mr. Chewy Delivery!

2012-01-23T08:55:00.016-05:00

What's this? I smell yummy treats and food for me!

Mr. Chewy is the best! He hooked us up with a gift certificate for his online store (MrChewy.com), and I scorded a box full of goodies!

There was a wide variety of healthy treats and food to choose from. And Mom did good... she knows what I like! These peanut butter treats from Mr. Newman were super tasty!

I always sit and "shake" for a treat.

These are cute, little heart-shaped cookies that I couldn't get enough of...

Have to get every crumb!

More please?

Nom nom!

From Laney's Mom (the review):

Laney loved everything she got from MrChewy.com. And I was impressed by not only the selection but free the shipping and extremely fast delivery! Most "free shipping" options take up to 2 weeks to come. This package was ordered on Tuesday and arrived two days later! I was impressed. Now, the prices on a few individual items (notably the dental bones) I noticed were higher than our local superstores (they can probably get bigger bulk discounts), but the money saved in driving - having food delivered to home would make up for that. I highly enjoyed my experience - plenty of great (and all-natural) brands, easy ordering, free shipping, and incredibly fast delivery! We highly recommend this site for those of you who like home delivery options.

Will someone please tell my little cousin that I'm not a doggie snowman?

Christmas Presents

2012-01-03T10:02:00.007-05:00

What did you all get for Christmas?! My favorite gift was this new, cozy bed that fits me perfectly! As soon as Mom unwrapped it for me and put it in the floor, I was curled up like this. I also scored some yummy treats, and a few fun squeaky toys!

On Christmas Day, we went over to my cousin's house. I like to chase their cats. Especially, their new kitten, Snoopy. He actually tries to get me to chase him, probably because his brother won't play with him. Here, Snoopy is waiting on me to get up from my nap. He stared at me all through the family dinner. But I pretty much ignore him till he runs.

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-21T08:22:00.005-05:00

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Did you ask Santa for anything special?
I'm hoping for some yummy treats!

Yum

2011-12-15T08:16:00.002-05:00

Since yogurt is good for my tummy, Mom let me lick the remains of her yogurt. It was so good! Usually, I don't like blueberries, but in yogurt it's great! My only complain was that I couldn't quite reach the stuff at the bottom. Sometimes it's not so great to have a "meat mouth" instead of a pointy face. Mom said I could have tried to put my nose in there to reach the rest... but that would mean getting messy. No thanks.

How Fast Can You Squeak?

First Snow

2011-12-01T12:20:00.009-05:00

Oh no. Last weekend it was warm and sunny. This week? First snow.

Can you tell I'm not happy about this?

Mom took me to the dog park, to run around since it has been raining for several days. As you can see, Reddy the pit bull was having fun running. I was in slow motion.

Okay, Mom. I'm done. This is me hiding behind the tree from the blowing snow and wind (like mom was).

But mom came prepared and brought my sweater.

Carly was playful too... trying to get me to play as well.

But nope. Take me home, Mom.

I need the electric fireplace, blowing directly on me.

My Long Weekend...

2011-11-29T10:41:00.003-05:00

Over the long holiday weekend, I did some of this...

And some of this...

Hope yours was as restful as mine!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2011-11-23T13:33:00.002-05:00

I'll be thankful for some table scraps or turkey during my family's Thanksgiving feast!

Hint, hint.

What's That I Smell?

2011-11-11T12:33:00.005-05:00

Mmm... Mom's eating Chili from Texas Roadhouse.

Meat and cheese are my favorite things... Wonder if I'll get a bite, if I sit here and stare long enough?

Kong Cozie Review

2011-11-03T09:42:00.013-04:00

I received another toy from Kong to review! My mom gets tons of books to review everyday, so it's only fair that I get a free toy every once in a while.

This new Kong Cozie is a super tough, stuffed animal - in my case a blue dog that my family says looks like Blue from Blues Clues. He has a squeaky in his bum area that took me just a minute to find.

I don't know if other Shar Pei's do this, but I like to pretend I'm not interested in a toy after just a minute of play. But it's all an act. I like to wait for the other person (or dog) to lose interest so I can pounce on it again.

This toy is really soft and durable, with a heavy duty squeaker. Perfect for a finicky pup like me!

Happy Halloween!

2011-10-31T07:25:00.003-04:00

Argh, Matey!

Dog Therapy Time Again

2011-10-27T08:00:00.004-04:00

Usually, my favorite night of each month is when I get to be therapy dog to kids for several hours. (This just means I play and cuddle with them. Not a hard job for me!) But this week... my favorite pal didn't show up. So I was bored most of the night, as you can see above.

Then, one of the girls who rarely even acknowledges my presence, saw when I took a break from napping...

And got into my bed and pretended to be me! I didn't know what was going on, but the adults were all laughing!

I thought I was supposed to be the entertainment!

Have I Mentioned...

2011-10-17T08:48:00.003-04:00

... that I'm not a fan of early mornings?

Not Mom's Little Helper

2011-10-13T08:20:00.005-04:00

See this mess? I didn't do it. Mom spilled my food all over the kitchen floor and swept it into a corner to see if she could get me to help her clean it up by eating off the floor.

...

Hah. I don't think so. If it was actual chicken or cheese or something appetizing maybe. But my dry dog food? Nah. You can sweep that up and throw it away.

I have NO IDEA what happened!

Trying Out Telepathy

2011-09-23T08:33:00.002-04:00

Since I can't verbally speak, I come and sit in front of mom when (I think) it's time for bed and try telepathy. It usually works. When mom stands up, I run for the bedroom and jump up on the bed, just in case she had any doubt that I want her to go to bed.

Best Friends

2011-09-19T05:00:00.001-04:00

Guess who likes to cuddle with me almost as much as Mom does?
Yep, my cousin Sophie! I just love when she comes over for a sleepover!

At the Dog Park

2011-09-13T10:09:00.004-04:00

On a rainy afternoon, when the ground was wet at the dog park... Guess who got the most exercise? Yeah, mom did.. trying to get me to get off the bench to run and play. I don't do wet.

Fall Is Just Around the Corner!

2011-09-06T15:24:00.002-04:00

Mom and I got to entertain my cousin Sophie over the holiday weekend! We decided to take advantage of the cooler weather and visit nearby trails at Potters Bridge Park. As you can see on the ground, the leaves are starting to fall already! Even though most of the leaves are still green, we were surrounded by constantly falling leaves. It made for some great fun!

Sophie had fun meeting a ton of other dogs along the trail. Mom says I'm too over-protective of her and wasn't allowed to meet many of them. I'm not sure why Sophie bothers with them when she has me right there anyway.

Sleeping... And NOT Snoring!

2011-09-02T14:59:00.007-04:00

I thought it'd be nice for Mom to take a video of me sleeping when I'm not snoring for once. But you can tell I'm in a deep sleep, facial twitches and paws moving. Usually, when I'm this deep into sleep and moving, Mom says I make little chirp-like barking noises. How embarrassing.

* Note: It's easier to view the video, if you click on the little icon in the bottom right corner to expand the view.

Headless Dog!

2011-08-29T09:25:00.003-04:00

... Okay, so maybe I was just tired after a long, hot walk and chose a strange way of finding a cool place to lay...

Vacation Part 2!

2011-08-16T09:02:00.013-04:00

Here's a distant view of the beach at Raccoon Lake where humans can lay by the water and go swimming. Dogs aren't allowed in the swimming area (no complaints here), but mom was told she could take me just past the roped off area to put me in the lake. I was given no choice in the matter. And promptly ran back out as soon as she dropped me in the water. But I have to admit it did feel really good to cool off after our long hike in the woods! I perked back up and started wagging my tail. But don't misunderstand... I'll still never willingly get myself all wet like that.

In fact, there was another beach along a trail that I walked right up to to get a drink... until the waves started coming in! That movement and noise drew me back away from the shoreline. No thanks. I want none of that.

Though, digging the sand was pretty fun. Notice all the sand on my nose. Mom kept wiping it off, but it just kept reappearing. No idea how that happened.

When we finally left the trails for the swings and play area (at my little cousin's request), we happened upon this startling sight...
Can you see who is swinging in this video?

Yeah. It's a dog. A funny, swing-loving dog. The owner said he "loves" it. I guess he might, since I'd be jumping out first chance I got. He just seems to be chilling.

Silly dogs. I'm too regal for that kind of behavior.

Kong Squiggles Toy Review!

2011-08-12T08:44:00.005-04:00

That's right! This lucky pup got another cool toy to review!
The Kong Squiggles is a long, rope-like toy that looks and feels like a stuffy, with a squeaker on both ends and a bungee-like cord in the middle. From the video you'll be able to tell how fun this new toy is! I love squeaky toys!
And since it's made by Kong, it's strong and well-made. Though, mom can't call it a kong toy, since that is reserved for my favorite thing mom puts peanut butter in! Yum!
Though, I have to apologize. Our video editor isn't working and I had an itchy back about halfway through this short video that I just have to scratch. So please disregard that silliness.

Vacation Part 1

2011-08-09T08:59:00.014-04:00

Mom and I just got back from vacation last weekend, and it's taken me a long time to catch up on sleep! We had some noisy neighbors that kept me up and made me anxious.

But we still had some great times! We stayed at a lodge right on Raccoon Lake. During the day, we would go walk trails through the woods surrounding the lake. I loved it, but mom had a hard time keeping up!

There were some beautiful views.

And some difficult paths!

I was one happy and tired pup after our hikes!

My Sniffing-for-Treats Game!

2011-07-19T13:37:00.003-04:00

This is my favorite game! Searching for treats! This clever little toy is the best invention... I get treats and I get to show off my talents.

Happy (Belated) 4th!

2011-07-05T07:42:00.003-04:00

Sporting my patriotic gear for the 4th of July yesterday.

Best Buds

2011-06-27T07:57:00.008-04:00

I love when my cousin Sophie comes to visit me. She gives me lots of hugs and kisses and has WAY more energy than I do. She even insists on her own leash to help take me on walks!

Nothing beats cuddle time though.

Hey... I'll take what I can get.

Lots of Outings

2011-06-20T08:47:00.004-04:00

We've been silent, but busy! Mom takes me to the state park fairly often now that it's gotten warmer. Nothing beats Indiana State Parks. They're my favorite places to take walks. So many trees, so many critters to smell, and the view is always pretty.

The only problem is that I never stand still for mom to take pictures. There's too many smells to smell!

Mutt Strut 2011

2011-05-16T09:36:00.014-04:00

For the third year in a row, we participated in Mutt Strut at the Indianapolis Speedway, benefitting the Indy Humane Society! This year, it was perfect weather - cool and a bit overcast.. but no rain when we actually got on the track!

Their moms said that these cute gals were Shar Pei/Golden Retriever mixes... and sisters.

The 2 1/2 miles went by fast this year!

But the bigger dogs still got overheated, despite the nicer weather. This poor Mastiff just made it past the finish line before collapsing in relief! (He was fine by the way. Just tired.)

And here's our fun team of Bark Park pals!

... And as soon as we got to the car, it was my time to collapse in relief!

A Windy Day

2011-05-05T17:00:00.000-04:00

What?

Ice Cream!

2011-05-02T11:37:00.007-04:00

I scored a cheeseburger AND ice cream for my Birthday! We were stopped for a minute so mom got some shots of me eating before I inhaled my ice cream. The cone is my favorite part.

Today is My Gotcha/Birthday!

2011-04-26T06:00:00.000-04:00

It's my Gotcha/Birthday today!

3 years ago today, Mom found me at the local Humane Society. They said I was about 2 years old, so that makes me 5 years old today. Aren't you impressed with my math skills?

As you can see, I was a bit skinny, when Mom first took me home. I was a stray, wandering the streets, so I hadn't been eating much. And I didn't eat much at the shelter either. Living in a metal cage didn't agree with me.

Now, I'm healthy and happy, spoiled pup - who takes many fun adventures with my Mom by my side.

I'm thinking Mom will be bringing home hot dogs or cheeseburgers or ice cream tonight for dinner... or maybe all three! [That's a hint, Mom.]

Annual Exam Time at the VET!

2011-04-19T12:00:00.002-04:00

Mom is happy that I don't know what the word "Vet" means since we usually only have to go 2 or 3 times a year. But as soon as we walk into the exam room, I know what's coming. Not cool. Do I reeeaally need to get poked and pricked and held down agaist my will? Mom says it's to make sure nothing is wrong with me. But I told her I feel fine!

So I try to hide under the table when the Doctor comes in. But that doesn't work. I do have to admit though. My mom and my doctor are the only ones that I let open my mouth and play around with my teeth. I'm also much more calm and less squirmy every time I have to come back. Even though he does stick me and steal my blood. And plays around in my ears, which I HATE. And give me shots... but lets face it, I don't even feel those since I have all of this nice extra skin thanks to my Shar Pei side. So, before long, it's time to go. At least, that's what I tell mom.

What? It IS time to go home?!

I'm outa here!

Invisible Leash

2011-04-04T12:01:00.003-04:00

Mom jokes that I have an invisible leash at the dog park. I don't like mom being out of my site. And when she calls, I come running... or jogging...

I also often get teased, because I tend to panic when I can't find mom right away!

Happy Valentines! And Dog Therapy Work!

2011-02-14T18:00:00.001-05:00

I have no specialized training in dog therapy. Mom knows I wouldn’t pass formal training since I don’t care for new dogs and don't react well to them. But once a month, I get to go play with kids and get lots of treats from them! There’s this thing once a month at mom’s church called Parents Night Out where parents of handicapped kids can come leave them to play with me (or watch a movie, read, etc) for a few hours while they go do whatever it is that grownups do.

Anyway, Mom had the great idea to bring me along, if the parents didn’t mind (which they didn’t of course). And the kids can play ball with me, which is a LOT more fun that at home with just Mom! At home, I get bored and stop playing after a few tosses from Mom. I played for a long time, always bringing the ball back for these kids. Mom says I was showing off. She’s right. Also, she showed them how I do tricks for treats. And the kids LOVE feeding me treats too! How cool is that?! All night I get tons of attention from kids and adults alike.

The parents were impressed with my calm presence and how well-behaved I am. And one family may be getting a dog for their daughter after seeing how well we interacted! Mom says she’s super proud of how well I am with the kids and don’t care about wheelchairs or strange noises at all. I think it’s the most fun night of the month!

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day with your special humans! Be sure to give them an extra kiss!

New Kong Toy!

2010-12-29T14:21:00.004-05:00

I received another toy in the mail to review on my blog! Nothing can say how much I enjoy a toy more than a video can. This is the new KONG Tugger Knot toy. It may look just like another stuffed animal, but it has a rope knotted and twisted throughout the toy along with a squeaker - that makes this toy super fun to chew on!
It gets my paw of approval!

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-22T18:05:00.003-05:00

Merry Christmas to all my four-legged friends and their humans!

I Met Santa!

2010-12-15T17:52:00.003-05:00

Last weekend, my cousin and I got to meet Santa!

My cousin asked Santa for a doll and a dress. And I would like some back scratches and some table scraps (my cousin is very good at sneaking me food from the table)!

Elf Your Face App

2010-12-10T14:22:00.001-05:00

Mom was having too much fun with the free "Elf Your Face" app on her iPhone.

I am not amused.

Why can't she "Elf" her own face?

Who's Not a Lap Dog?

2010-12-02T10:33:00.004-05:00

Recently, I've taken to actually curling up in mom's lap! Usually, I just sit beside her and lay my head in her lap. But this is pretty comfy and warm, I have to say!

New Hippo!

2010-11-29T14:30:00.003-05:00

I got this cool new Hippo toy from Bolo for participating in his Family Look-Alike Contest! Thanks, Bolo! I LOVE it!

Who has the fattest lips? In this next video, I'm just holding the Hippo in my mouth, trying to look like a statue. I would be a great statue. Only my eyes move.

Halloween 2010!

2010-11-04T09:16:00.003-04:00

Here are photos of me, waiting for Trick-or-Treaters to stop by. We had so many kids stop by to pet me! Mom said that they wanted the candy she was passing out, but I heard my name called out by several of them. I know why they really came by... the candy was just a bonus.

GRR!!

Hallween Bark Park Party!

2010-11-02T09:32:00.004-04:00

Last Saturday we had a Halloween Party at the Bark Park! Check out some of the great costumes my pup pals were wearing…

Gizmo hates Hot Air Balloons, so his costume was too funny!

This is my buddy Hercules. He lets me boss him around, so I like him just fine!

My best bud, Sandy was a queen!

Pups of all sizes came to show off their cute costumes!

And Shannon here likes to dig for moles obsessively, so her costume was oh, so appropriate!

More photos of me coming soon! I loved having Tricker-or-Treaters come visit me. Some forgot to get their candy – they were too busy petting me!

Fall Is Here!

2010-10-18T17:00:00.000-04:00

Last week, Mom took a day off to spend with family in from California. It was a perfect Autumn day, so we decided to meet them at another local state park. It was beeeautiful! We had a picknic, and I even scored some chicken from those feeling sorry for me. After that, we went on a nice, long walk down to a river, where Mom let me cool off. No. I didn't get wet. I'm not crazy.

Fighting Sleep

2010-10-05T18:00:00.001-04:00

Coming home from the Vet yesterday, I wouldn't lay down, but kept falling asleep standing up. For some reason, Mom thought this was funny.

The Dreaded Teeth Cleaning

2010-10-04T09:10:00.003-04:00

Mom is all stressed today, cuz I have to spend all day at the Vet getting my teeth cleaned. Apparently, they have to make me go to sleep for a while. Doesn't sound so bad to me, but mom doesn't like it. She says she won't get much work done today thinking about me. Well, I think she should be thinking about me all-day, everyday anyway.
The most traumatic part will be that I have to be kenneled, which reminds me of the Humane Society where Mom got me.
Mom says she's going to cover the car where I sit, in case I throw up on the way home. I have a bit of a nervous stomach!
Any other pups have to go through this dreaded teeth cleaning at the Vet? How bad was it?

Sometimes I love being alone.... with my Mom. Mom says I'm codependent, whatever that means. If it means I have to be with her all the time, and not let her out of my sight - then, yes. That's me.

But I have to admit. It's pretty fun to be the center of attention. For a little while, at least.

Skinneeez Toy Review

2010-07-23T10:02:00.003-04:00

The kind people with Spot Pet Products, kindly offered us a toy for me to review on my blog! I jumped at the chance! When mom opened it, I was happy to see my new toy was in the shape of a bunny - my favorite thing to chase! Skinneeez are sqeaky toys without the stuffing. It's super soft and long enough to be a fun tug toy for Mom to play with me too! Enough of me talking about it. There's nothing better than SHOWING you how much fun I have with it...

Woofstock 2010

2010-06-17T17:00:00.000-04:00

So, last weekend was the annual Woofstock, a fundraiser for the Humane Society where Mom found me! Again, it was super hot and humid. But it sure was fun meeting all my Bark Park friends and walking around with them! Here's cute little Bailey:

Since I'm a rescue from the Humance Society, they gave me a green bandana to let everyone know! It's pretty funny that 2 years after I was adopted, the workers at the Humane Society still remember me and give me lots of attention when they see me!

The highlight was the Dog Walk, where this year they did something special. There were four stations where us dogs had to do tricks and get our card checked off. And if we did all four tricks we got a prize! Mom knew immediately that I could do 3 out 4 of them, but not the "Speak" command. As she only wants me barking at strangers at our door. BUT that judge was kind on all of us pups, and let us do something else! So, Mom, knowing I was good at dancing, impressed the judge with that! So, I completed all my tasks: Sit, Shake, Dancing, and Lay Down... and scored a big box of my favorite Three Dog Bakery Treats! How cool is that?!

Here's a picture of all the pups and their people lined up for the walk:

You can bet, we were ahead of the pack!

And here's a cute Bulldog that my mom kept checking out:

Well, I was ready to go as soon as I scored some more treats from all the vendors.

And soon we were headed home:

So, the other day, Mom and I went for a nice long walk at a local park. But it was super hot and humid, and my legs just aren't as long as Mom's. So, when she wanted to do another loop around this big park, I had to put my paw down. I found the closest shade under a tree, and just laid down.

What?

Mom pulled on my leash, but I wasn't going anywhere. Unless she wanted to carry me. Which I knew she wouldn't want to do, because of the hot, sticky weather.

<--- Sticking my tongue out at Mom for trying to get me to keep on going.

After a few minutes of resting in the shade, Mom said we could go home. And I got up and gladly walked back to the car.

This has only happened once before. I usually have plenty of stamina. Mom says it's because of the sudden humidity that my body wasn't used to yet.

Give it a few more weeks, and I'll be wanting to walk longer than Mom can!

Mom loves taking me on walks on windy days. She calls this my Yoda Impression!

Birthday Recap!

2010-04-28T17:00:00.000-04:00

Well, I had a pawesome Adoption/Birth Day! Though the day didn’t start out so great, when some strange men came into the house. I wanted to let them know I wasn’t happy about their intrusion, even tho mom let them in to clean something or other. I didn’t like their smell. So I was sequestered outside till I stopped barking at them.

How was Mom able to not give into this face?! I mean, this is my sad/pathetic face!
Anyway, they finally left and I was able to come back inside.
THEN, we went to McDonalds and I got my own CHEESEBURGER! This is a very special occasion indeed! I inhaled mine in about 3 seconds flat, bun and all.

And for dinner, mom got me this yummy parmesan pizza from a local dog bakery!

Whoohoo, I also got treats galore from the ladies at the dog bakeries. They, of course, went nuts over me and made sure I didn’t go away hungry!
Mom also brought home this PupCake for me.

Sniff, sniff

Meh, I’ll save it for later.

Mom noticed I wasn’t interested in the pupcake, so she made these yummy peanut butter cookies for me and all of my dog park friends! Now these, I wolfed down!

Such a great day, full of food, Mom’s company, and the dog park! What more could a SuperPup ask for?

When does my Adoption/Birth Day come around again?

My Birthday/Adoption Day!

2010-04-26T05:00:00.001-04:00

Today, we celebrate my Adoption Day (and Birthday since we're not sure exactly when it is)! Two years ago today Mom found me at the local Humane Society and couldn't resist my wrinkly face! It was love at first sight for both of us. We're definitely soul mates. And I'm a grown-up 4-year-old now (we think)! That means, I don't play with other dogs as much anymore. But nothing can stop the nose!

Mom says she's going to take me on a fun walk (as long as it's not pouring raining again). And she's going to take me to my favorite place: the 3 Dog Bakery for some yummy treats! I wonder if I'll get a cheeseburger or hot dog too? Hint, hint, Mom.

Mutt Strut 2010!

2010-04-25T19:08:00.005-04:00

Well, last year was unbearably hot and humid... And this year it was cool and raining! Hopefully, next year that means it'll be a happy medium. Mutt Strut is a popular fundraiser for the Indianapolis Humane Society, which is near and dear to my heart since I was adopted from a humane society too.

Mom loves to see all the different types of dogs at these events.

No Shar Peis, but then again... IT WAS RAINING! And most of us don't like to be wet. Hint, hint, Mom.

Well, only a couple of my bark park pals couldn't come. So we had a pretty good turn out for it being so yucky rainy!
Here's me and Buddy the Basset!

And here's our group of bark park pals before our walk.

Yes, we had a lot of fun despite the wetness!

Here's a short video of us on the Speedway:

We scored a lot of free treats and food, but nothing was worth this:

I was cold and shivering, but thankfully Mom had a spare sweatshirt in the car.

Can we go home now, Mom?

Here's a link to all of our photos from Mutt Strut 2010:

It's Coming!

2010-04-22T08:25:00.005-04:00

That's right! Mutt Strut is this Sunday, raising money for the Indianapolis Humane Society, and getting to walk around the Indy Speedway, seeing all kinds of pups along the way. Mom made these tshirts for Mom and Sandy & Gizmo's moms and dads to wear, since I didn't win the Poster Pooch Contest this year. Pretty funny, eh?

Anyway, since Mutt Strut is on Sunday, that means my Adoption/Birthday is Monday! I'll be 4 years old (or there abouts). I wonder what Mom is going to get me???

More Hiking Adventures... and a Badge!

2010-04-01T07:59:00.004-04:00

Mom took this week off to spend with me and go on hiking adventures! We have gone to the state park a couple times already.

We're both definitely out of shape, after the long winter. So the 3 mile trail is tiring for both of us. I just show it more!

Then shortly, I'm back to being regal.

And yesterday, we were honored from Dogster, our favorite doggy site!

Wow, how cool is that?!

Way To Go, Mom

2010-03-18T17:27:00.000-04:00

That was sarcasm.
And she's not cutting my nails for a while.
I'm tough, but my Mom isn't. The sight of blood made her sick to her stomach, on top of feeling bad. Of course, I probably shouldn't have jerked my paw, just as she was cutting...

Babysitting Sophia

2010-03-12T09:31:00.003-05:00

So Mom and I babysat my cousin Sophia the other night. Sorry for the blurry iPhone pics. But Mom thought we were so cute, she had to hurry and take pictures.

But walk away now, Mom. I like being an only dog.
