Extercising

Mommy likes to extercise.  I do, too!  My favorite extercise is chasing pine cones.  Or chasing squirrels.  Or chasing my toys.  My favorite extercise is chasing!

Mommy runs around the block and then comes home all sweaty.  Mmm....sweat.  After her workout today, the camera started taking pictures of us.  It was really weird!

Lost Mini-me

Mommy and Daddy came home with a little white fluffy dog who looked a lot like me.  Waaaay too much like me!  She jumped right up on the couch and followed Mommy around and generally tried to take my place.  I was Not Happy, but I tried very hard to be a good hostess.

Here's one picture of her:

and one of me:

and one with shorter ears:

See?!

Luckily, Mommy found this other dog's mama and she came to pick her up.  Phewww!

Three-ZZZ Weekend

I know it's only Sunday, but I got in a good nap with Daddy yesterday and an excellent one today:

so it seems likely that there will be a third tomorrow, Labor Day.  I hope you are also resting up on this holiday weekend!

Bzzzz!

Mommy just finished camp a few weeks ago.  The last week there, some unexpected campers moved in:

Mommy said they were a swarm of bees, but it looks like the owl box grew a beard!  I like bees okay, but Jeremy is scared of them.  Whenever we walk past Mr. Kelly's yard, he pulls and pulls to get away from the buzzy bees in the flowers.  Sometimes Mommy makes a bzzbzz noise to scare him and laughs.  Mommy is mean!

Summer Start

Hi again!  Still catching up from my time off.  We'll begin in May/June, when Grandma and Grandpa came to visit.  We had our friends over to meet them, including Auntie Karen and her new baby. 

I was a little bit jealous.

There are other pictures from their visit, but they must be on Daddy's camera!  Jeremy and I got lots of pets and we were so sad when they left. 

We bought new furniture to lounge on.  It's totally comfortable.  Here's me and Daddy in his new chair:

You can see how good we all look by the blue couch (including Auntie Nessa!).

The rest of the summer, Mommy has spent every other week at camp, so she comes home smelling like woods and woodland creatures.

Weird.  OK, so that's it for now.  I will report back when something new happens.

Catching Up

Hi, friends.

I'm back from vacation, so yay!  In February, Auntie Val came over and we piled on her to keep her warm:

That was right around Mommy's birthday.  Nothing much happened for a while, but then at Easter, we helped Auntie Edit dye Easter eggs.  She had a blast!

This was my favorite egg.  I think Daddy made it!

Mmmmm....ham.
Then sad things started happening.  Rosie kept scaring Mommy and biting her.  Jeremy and I tried to protect everyone, bit I was scared, too.  We visited Auntie Edit's house and I played with all the toys:

 and Rosie found a rawhide:

 Helgie and Rowan shared it with her, even though it was theirs.  That part wasn't sad, but a few days later, Rosie went away and didn't come home again.  That was the sad part.  Mommy and Daddy cried a lot, and we wondered where she was.  After a few days, though, Jeremy and I decided that we would act totally normal so that Mommy and Daddy would feel better.  It worked!

OK, that's a few months' pictures and stories.  Soon I will tell you all about Grandma and Grandpa's visit!

Break Time!

Dear Everybody,

I'm tired of writing!  I am busy spending my free time napping and cuddling, so no more Pixie Press for now.
