We all had a vacation...March 3 --> 6, 2009

Bella finally got that stinkin' ball & she's keepin' it!

Mommy & Daddy went to Cape Coral, FL to visit Uncle Jimmy (Daddy's brother) & Aunt Kelli (his wife). One day, Cousin Kynse & her 2 1/2 month old son, Lincoln, came over to visit. On Thursday, they went by pontoon to Captiva Island. They ate lunch at RC Otter's and had a leisurely ride back. That nite, Aunt Kelli fixed a delicious meal - shrimp cocktail, a salad with goat cheese & roasted walnuts, steak & fresh Florida lobster tails, and strawberry shortcake for dessert!

I got a vacation, too! I got to stay with Bella, Aunt Sissie C, & Uncle Ron! (There was a little sewer rat incident but I'd rather not discuss it.) We all came home on Friday & even Aunt Sissie K came over & spent the nite on Sat. Bella & I were pooped from all the running around!

Birthday Baby - March 1, 2009

Can you believe I'm ONE!!!!?!!!! Being a Leap Year baby kinda pays off. We spent the weekend at the lake house & on Saturday, Mommy & Daddy took me to Dairy Queen for my own ice cream! I got lots of treats & attention all day. When we came home today, I got my present - a new stuffed giraffe! I LOVE it (especially since I just skinned my pink elephant!)

Mommy & Daddy went to Great Aunt Gladys' & hung a curtain rod for her. First they met at Busy Corner & she bought their lunch. Next time, I get to go - it was too cold to wait in the car today.

On Tuesday night, M & D are going to Cape Coral, FL to stay with Daddy's brother, Jim, & his wife Kelli for a few days. I get to stay with Bella, Aunt Sissie C & Uncle Ron! I'm gonna have so much fun! I'm such a lucky girl!

Nappy time! February 18, 2009

Daddy is trying to get me to sleep on a blankie on his office floor, that way he doesn't have to keep waking me up when he moves around.

Chillin' with Daddy! February 15, 2009

Mommy & I went over to Aunt Sissie K's this afternoon. They cooked & I played. I was so tired when I got home that I couldn't keep my eyes open.

A Puppy's Life - February 14, 2009

This is how I spend my days with Daddy! While he's working, I lay on his lap! This is the life! Happy Valentine's Day!

Pre - Valentine's Day - February 5, 2009

This is Aunt Jojo, Daddy's sister. She made this coat & hat for her granddaughter, Sam. Maybe she'll make me a winter coat!!! ; )

On Friday night, both Aunt Sissies, & Uncle Ron came for a pre-Valentine dinner. Mommy made shrimp fettucine with fresh broccoli & mushrooms. Bella & I even got a taste when Mommy spilled some on the floor! It was yummy.

On Saturday, all us girls went for a long walk & got to stop & see Elbie & Garth for a couple minutes. Then we all got baths & Mommy & Aunt Sissies went for spa pedicures. Bella & I stayed home & played.

My Doggy Parents - February 4, 2009

Mommy thought since it's almost my birthday (February 29, 2009) I should know what my doggy parents look like. Patricia from Fox Valley Farm emailed pictures. Bridgette, a Yorkie, is my momma. Boone, a Maltese, is my daddy. Aren't they pretty? No wonder I'm so cute!
