My Backyard

I moved into a new house this summer, and I got a backyard!

Mindy came to stay with me for a couple of weeks, and we had fun sunbathing in my yard.

Mommy and Daddy even put some herbs in my yard so I have something nice to smell.

Second Annual Dog Birthday Party

Today is my birthday! Mindy and I had a joint birthday party again this year.

Mommy made me my favorite, carrot cake.

Mindy liked the cake too.

Mindy's lifelong dream of having a bed full of tennis balls finally came true. The stuffed animal on her bed is my birthday present, a gorilla.

Post-Vet Update

I recently went to visit my vet for my annual check-up. Once again, I had the whole clinic wrapped around my paw as they marveled at how cute and smiley I am. My vet said I was the happiest looking dog he has seen in a long time.

While most of my exam was full of good news and praise, I did get some not so great news. I'm still testing positive for lyme's, which is a bummer more to mommy and daddy than it is to me, since I don't really know what Lyme's is anyway. So I got another round of meds and we'll see what happens next year.

My mommy and daddy were also curious about the little "speck" in my right eye that often shows up in photos of me. My vet said it was iris atrophy, which means that when I am an old man, I might have some trouble with that eye, but I see just fine now, so nothing to worry about.

Me and My Lady

Here's a photo of me and my lady, Mindy, in the back of Mindy's car on Easter. Everyone thinks we are super cute together, mostly because we are.

My First Trip to Gettysburg

Mommy and Daddy took me to this place called Gettysburg this weekend.I got to ride an elevator...
...and then I slept in a hotel for the first time...

...and then I met President Eisenhower...

...and then I found a cave...

Double Doggy Badness

I went to visit Mindy this weekend to enjoy some spring time sun.

We ended up enjoying a midnight raid on the trash. I never go through the trash at my house, but Mindy said it was okay because she does it all the time. We had a great time spreading the trash out over three rooms while the people were sleeping.

Learning new things with Mindy

My best friend Mindy and her family came to visit me this weekend.

I learned to give eskimo kisses.
I also learned how to play tug of war with Mindy.
