New 'do!

Mommy never seems to be satisfied with my haircuts. I'm almost 3 and I've never had what she thinks is a perfect haircut! Usually the groomers leave too much beard hair and I get it all wet when I drink. Finally, a groomer listened to her and shaved it all off - and now she thinks I look weird!

Mommy and Daddy have been on spring break and have been making lots of noise and a huge mess in the bathroom downstairs and they have been making us stay upstairs a lot. I snuck downstairs last night but forgot to take the camera, so I will post pictures soon to show you what they have been up to!

How much is that doggy in the window?

Nothing new to report

We haven't really been up to much lately and our Mommy and Daddy are really involved in school right now. We are excited for Spring Break as much as they are!

And we just made our reservation to go to the Shylo Country Club in May...we are very excited because they have a POOL just for doggies! Ok, Cody is excited, me not so much. But we get to run around for 3 days while Mommy and Daddy are on a mini-trip into the mountains. They will have company so we aren't going to all fit in the car (even though Daddy wants to put me in the trunk, Mommy won't let him!)

Hope you are all staying out of trouble!

• Begin the checkout process and use code PRESDAY to knock off the shipping charge

So go get yourself a new fancy leash...no excuses, it's free!

In other news - we haven't been up to much since our last post. Our grandma is coming to visit on Wednesday and we are very excited because we won't have to stay in our kennels while Mommy and Daddy are away at school all day on Thursday and Friday. We get to sit on the couch (or the floor in Cody's case) and watch the Olympics!

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Birthday...all at once!

Yeah yeah, we know. We disappeared. We're sorry. We got some guff over the holidays for not updating and Mommy should be doing homework so guess what - she's helping us update our blog instead!

St. Louis was fun! I managed not to throw up in the car on the way to St. Louis. Go me! I did throw up once in a drive through when Mommy and Daddy were getting Culvers (love their french fries...yum!) but I hadn't gotten my medicine that day. We shuffled back and forth between Mommy and Daddy's families for 2 weeks, which I think was more exhausting for them than it was for us. We got to sniff in 2 different yards and play with different people! We got to play with our Aunt Coco and Uncle Gizzy for a few days. Here's a pic of us on Christmas Eve.









We got Denver Bronco's jerseys from our Grandma for Christmas - we will be stylish for this years superbowl even though they aren't playing. At least next season we'll be ready!

Here's a pic of our family on Christmas Day. Daddy didn't like having to shave every day in the military - he thought our furry coats are so great that he decided to grow out a goatee. This was about 2 weeks before Mommy "suggested" he shave it...hehe.










New Years came and went and we even stayed up until midnight. We got to drink something called champagne - Cody liked it but I didn't! Cody would be a lush if Mommy and Daddy would let him - he'll drink anything!

We were sad to leave our extended families behind, but it was nice to get back to our yard and not have to ride in the car every other day. Plus, once we got back it was our birthdays! Mommy and Daddy don't know our exact birthdays, so we get to share our Grandpa's (he doesn't like it when we call him that, but Grandma does) and our Uncles' (both of Mommy's brothers' ) birthdays, which is January 19th! When I was adopted in May of 2007 they said I was 3 -4 months old...so that means I am now 3! Cody was adopted at the end of July 2008 and they said he was 7 - 8 months old...so he is now 2! Happy Birthday to us!

All I got for my birthday was a stinkin' haircut. And a bad one at that :( We're not going back to this groomer, after Mommy asked for a "little bit of fluff" on my head. Look what they left! By the way, I did not like it when Mommy put the tie in my hair, but I posed pretty well just to show you how bad the haircut was. The rest of my body besides my head is shaved. If only I could get my paws on that groomer...why I'd...










Er, nevermind. We should probably stop for now so Mommy can actually do her homework. Peace!

Long time no bark

Hello everyone!

Mommy has been hogging the computer because she has finals coming up and lots of projects due for school. But we found a few minutes to give you some updates!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit just before Thanksgiving. Cody showed Grandma how he likes to be a lapdog.












I think I fit better.












And she even gave me a nice back rub!









Our Aunt and Uncle sent me this snappy looking jacket for me because it didn't fit Cora and Sophia (the silky terriers) and they are girls anyway! Unfortunately it is a tad too big so I can't go motorcycle riding quite yet (and Mommy and Daddy would need to buy a motorcycle too so at this point it's just too big of an investment for the sake of looking cool). I do think I look pretty handsome in it, don't you?









Mommy snapped this picture of Cody sleeping last night. He looks like a pretzel!









And then she got this one just a few minutes ago. That green rubber thing is his best friend. I think it smells funny.










We are heading to St. Louis for Christmas and New Years...which means I get to take my pills so I don't get carsick on the 12 hour drive! We are excited to get more attention from Mommy and Daddy's families but are nervous about meeting our new cousin (of the hooman variety). Hopefully she likes us and we can manage to stay on our best behavior!

Peace out pups!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!

We got an early Christmas present!
