A new leash and collar!

Abby-A few weekends ago, Mommy and Daddy took us to the dog park with some of our friends, Casey and Heidi. The humans packed all of us dogs into the back of a pickup truck for the ride over. Along the way, someone decided that my leash tasted really good and chewed it up. Mommy decided that my leash getting chewed was as good excuse as any for me to get a new matching leash and collar since they don't sell the pattern of leashes I used to have. Besides, my birthday was coming up soon, so why not?! Today, I finally got my new leash and collar set in the mail. Don't I look pretty in my new gear?? Late birthday present for me!!! Woo hoo!

Jack-Why didn't I get anything? I'm cute too.....

Happy Birthday Abby!

Abby-Hi Everyone! It's my Birthday today! Woo hoo! I can't believe I'm already two years old! I'm almost an adult! To celebrate, my mommy made some yummy Birthday Cake Cupcakes! She also made me dress up in a silly outfit. I guess I can look good in anything!



Here I am in front of some cakes that just came out of the oven!

Here I am in my silly outfit Mommy made me put on. The cupcakes sure smell good!

Here are the cupcakes after Mommy decorated them! I can't wait to try one!

Oh Boy! Yummy yummy!

These taste wonderful!

Here is my brother enjoying one of my cupcakes!

And more cakes for dinner! Yummy!

Wow! That was my best birthday ever! I can't wait for next year!!!

We're back!

Hi everyone!

We're back! Sorry it took so long to post after the holidays! Mommy has been waiting anxiously for her Christmas present to arrive...a new camera! Mommy is so excited! Her old camera was frustrating her considerably because sometimes we would move before the camera could take the photo and most of the time, the camera wouldn't even take a photo at all! Or when it did, the photo would be blurry! Now that her new camera is here, mommy promises to post more often and will hopefully have cuter photos of us! Here are some of her first shots with the new camera!

A few weeks ago, Mommy and Daddy babysat their neice, Baby Emma.

Jack-Emma smelled kinda interesting and occasionally she made strange noises, but babies don't interest me all that much. I much prefer squeaky balls.

Abby-I love Baby Emma! I think she is the most fascinating creature ever! I made sure she was safe and stayed by her side all evening. I love how cute Emma is, how good she smells, and all the cute noises she makes! I even like it when she grabs onto my face and pulls! I only sorta minded when she tried to pull the hair on my tummy, but I was a good doggy and just moved away. Mommy took some cute photos (with her old camera) of me being a good Momma dog to Baby Emma. I hope someday, Mommy and Daddy have a baby of their own so I can be a nanny all the time!

The indignity of it all!

Jack-I can't believe it! Abby won't let me wear my collar! Daddy came home one day to find my collar strewn on the floor. He picked it up and put it back around my neck. What happened next suprised the heck out of him. Abby walked over to me, put her teeth around the buckle of my collar and rotated the collar so the buckle was now around the back of my neck. From there, Abby then put her teeth on both sides of the buckle and actually unclipped my collar! The collar fell back to the floor where it had been a minute earlier. Oh the indignity of it all! Being undressed by my sister! At least mommy and daddy won't wonder any more why my collar keeps coming off. We'll have to work on teaching Abby to leave me and my collar alone.

Agility

Abby-Wow! Mommy and I just came from our agility class and it was so much fun! I got to do some coursework for the first time and it was awesome! I had to wait at the starting line for Mommy to give me the OK, then I went through the first hoop, through the tunnel, then through the next hoop where I got my treat! Then I walked back to the starting line and had to sit and wait for Mommy to put my collar back on! I had so much fun! I didn't even run around like a crazy dog like some of the other doggy's did! Mommy was so proud of me! I have been having such an awesome time learning the weave poles and doing jumps and the A-frame. I love agility! I can't wait for next week!

Jack's Birthday

Jack - Its my Birthday! I'm one year old today! For a treat, I got to finish Daddy's Dinner! Plus I got tons of extra attention. Can't wait 'til my next B-day!

Agility class!

Abby - Last night I went to my agility class! I had so much fun! I got to go around these big orange cones in what Mommy called "Figure Eights" and I got to go over some jumps! Mommy was so pleased with me! I loved every minute of it! I can't wait to practice the jumps and cone excercise with my Mommy at home! Yesterday, Mommy and Daddy were talking about building my very own set of jumps and I can't wait to play with them in the backyard. This agility thing is going to be fun I can tell. Mommy seems so pleased with me. Apparently I am doing very well and learning things quickly. I am so excited for next weeks lesson! Woo hoo! I love agility!
