Winter Time Fun

Hi! Well, winter has been in full swing here in New Jersey. On the days when it isn't too cold or icy out we're all sure to get outside and play a bit. I really like leaving my tracks all over the neighborhood!
Of course, it does also mean we spend some more time playing inside then in the summer. I've been working on lots of new tricks... like walking backwards, spinning in circles, clapping, and perfecting my balance as you see here. You'll probably notice that I'm also working on my NFL Linebacker face - do you think this says "don't mess with me!" ?

Thankfully, we've had a bit of a warm spell lately though so we're able to play outdoors a bit more. All of that melting snow makes some great puddles for playing inAt the end of the day, whether we played inside or out, I like to finish with a good snuggle into the downstairs bed. I must say its pretty comfy!I hope you are all enjoying your winter where-ever you are! Talk to you again soon.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Hi everyone.
I know its been a little while since my last post, but I've been busy, busy, busy...
First, we had another little snow fall this past weekend - so I had to be sure to help daddy shovel the walk and driveway. We can't have anyone slipping and falling!
I've also had lots of important phone calls to take. I've become quite popular :-)
Don't worry though, I still take plenty of time to play and relax. Have you seen these fish?! They are a ton of fun to watch
Well, thats all for now. Be sure to keep checking back in soon!

Christmas Week

Man, Christmas is a lot of work! First, I spent a good deal of time ensuring that the house was clean for all of our guestsOnce all of the sweeping was done, it was time to play with some of my toys. Here I'm practicing to be a rock star when I grow up!
Or, maybe, I'll race horses for a living. So many options!
When all was said and done, there was MORE cleaning to be done. Its a good thing Daddy has me to help with all of the chores, or those trash cans might stay at the curb forever
Finally, when all the toys were opened, the guests had left, and the work was done, Tazz was nice enough to share her bed with me for a quick rest
Many thanks to everyone for all of the wonderful presents, and making my Christmas so special and fun! It was really great to see everyone. I can't wait to do it all again next year!!

Fun With Tazz

Hi Everyone!
I hope you are all ready for the Holidays. I know I'm looking forward to seeing everyone, not to mention opening some of those presents that have been hiding under the tree!

Meanwhile, I've been having a blast playing with Tazz - and Momma and Daddy finally managed to capture some of it on video. There are three segments of a play session below - watch in order, and enjoy :-) (And be sure to turn up your volume!!)

Santa Baby...

I told Daddy that I'm going to get even with him for posting this picture at some point in the future...but he and Momma insisted that it was a "Classic" first Santa picture.

I'm still not real sure who this Santa fellow is, but I hear he does some good stuff come the 25th, so I'll probably give him another chance. We'll see...

Thanksgiving at the Cape

Wow! Thanksgiving is a great holiday for an eating machine like me! My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw the spread that Momma prepared for all of us
And, of course, in addition to all of the wonderful food, we had some great company for dinner. We got to share the holiday with Grandma, Nanny and Grampy, Nonno and Nonna, Great Aunt Amy, Great Aunt Pat and Uncle Mike, and Uncle Sean and Aunt Jo
After such a big meal, Tazz and I had to spend some time doing our exercises to work off those extra calories. Here she was showing me one of her favorite yoga positions - can you guess which one it is?
And the fun didn't end with Thanksgiving... On Friday we had some more visitors when Aunt Sarah, Uncle Steve, and Miss' Megan and Rachael showed up. I think Megan was quite impressed with my golf ball throwing skills, don't you? I hope everyone that made it to the Cape enjoyed their meal as much as I did, and I look forward to seeing many of you again in a few weeks for Christmas.

Over the River and Through the Woods...

..To Grandma's house we went.
Ok, this post is a little late, but I'm a busy guy. While Momma was down in DC the other week for work, Dad and I dropped in on Grandma for a couple of nights. We had a ton of fun

Grandma started things out by teaching me how to play the piano
Then, we spent most of the next day at the Children's Musuem in Philly. I had a great time racing cars....Playing with the walls of mirrors... Having a spot of tea....

And, trying to throw a scare into Daddy as he snuck around the other side of a tunnel.

All in all, it was a really fun time.

For those of you wanting to see the Thanksgiving pics - check back later this week / weekend for once Dad has a chance to load them to the computer. It was great seeing everyone that was able to make it up to the Cape for the Holiday!
