Everyone Had Burgers Tonight

Well, not really me and Chuisle. But they sure smelled good! Here's Beth and Rob in Palo Alto while they had a layover with Rob's uncle today and I sure would have wanted to be with them in that great California weather. But I bet they wouldn't have given me any fries or milkshakes, either. At the moment Charlotte is writing this for me because I am outside romping with Chuisle in the dusky backyard and wishing Beth and Rob were here!

Flowers and Ice!

I LOVE ice cubes after mowing the lawn. Well, after watching Gerry mow the lawn. They occupy me forever. And I hear that Chuisle turned her nose up at ice cubes until I showed her how much fun they are!

And here are the flowers that my 'other' grandmother, Deb, brought to dinner the other night - mixed with irises and daisies from our garden. Charlotte LOVES Gerbera daisies. Beautiful!

After a Nap - The Line Up

I had a great nap while Colin, Gerry and Charlotte went to see Shrek Forever After in 3D at the Jordan's IMAX in Natick. Afterwards, Gerry prepared to mow the lawn and Colin played with us in the backyard. We are having Uncle Gerry and Aunt Lexie over for hamburgers later on today.  I can smell those burgers now!

Sloppy Kisses

Chuisle gets a kiss after a rousing romp up and down and up and down and up and down the stairs.  Chuisle chased the laser pen and I chased Chuisle! Poor Chuisle can't catch her breath so I thought a little mouth-to-mouth might work.

Sniffing My Way Around

Heading out for another romp this morning.  Third time already! And my don't these herbs smell good!

Does Everyone Only Sleep ALL Day Around Here?

Love this spot under the table, especially when I can chew on these bones.

A New Day

Well, I was certainly surprised everyone to sleep past 5:30 am!  I was quiet as a mouse in Colin's room but was standing at the door when Charlotte opened it.  Colin was fast asleep so I guess I hadn't tried to wake him up.  Both of us doggies romped around a bit trying to find awake people (besides Charlotte) and we were unsuccessful even after making lots of noise so we sped downstairs to the back door.  It's a beautiful morning in New England but we wanted to get back inside for breakfast after some very quick "quicklys".  I, by the way, seem to have understood pretty quickly that breakfast means 'gobble before Chuisle gets mine'.  After breakfast it was a game of football until Chuisle got slammed up against the cellar door in her enthusiasm to get the ball and I snuck by down the hallway.  Rather than risk an upchuck both us dogs were told to lie down and digest.  Notice who ended up with the fuzzy pigskin!  Heh heh!

First Day @ the Canellis

After saying a very teary goodbye to Beth and Rob, I settled in just fine. Just to be safe, Gerry and Charlotte thought we should all see how both of us girls did in crates together. Gerry and Charlotte went shopping for a few hours (finding some Adult Dog Avoderm at Petco and some birthday presents for Colin.) Thankfully, they came home to find us both happy and rather-peppy dogs ready to go outside and play and GET OUT OF THESE CRATES! Later in the day after Colin came home and played with me for awhile, they had to leave to go to dinner in Bristol, Rhode Island. We both happily went back into the crates after a little hide and seek. They got home shortly after 9 PM though ... long before it was too dark or scary. Colin decided he wanted me to sleep with him in his room. Here's a video of me settling in:



I am wishing both Beth and Rob a nice sleep before their delayed trip to New Zealand.

She Sits

This is a video taken of me when I was very little and was amazingly clever! It was early fall and I got chilly very quickly so had to wear a jacket most of the time.
