Mommy is procrastinating

And is helping us post for a change!

We are still alive but Mommy has been doing a lot on the computer recently. She has to talk in front of a lot of people this Wednesday and is very nervous! She has been working on her presentation almost non stop for the last week. When she has stopped, she's been working on studying for some big test she has to take in March over everything she has learned over the last 2 years. Hopefully this explains why we haven't posted much recently - she's been hogging the computer!



Mommy recently gave me my first blueberry - I didn't care for the taste but it was fun to play with!
And here is a video of Cody playing in the snow that we had back in January.





See you guys later!

Happy Holidays!

Well, we are getting ready to head to the Country Club for our vacation while Mommy and Daddy head back to St. Louis for the holidays. They stayed up reeeeeally late last night getting ready and when Mommy tried to sit down at her computer I was taking up as much space as possible so she would leave me alone...it worked!






















See you in 2011!

Death to stuffies!

Mommy and Daddy bought me my first stuffie tonight! Don't get me wrong, they buy me plenty of toys but maybe you can see why stuffies are never brought into the house. I do much better with kongs or stuffed bones. They bought a mallard stuffie because I loved the one that my friend Kaos had.

The aftermath (approximately 5 minutes later):

Pee SSS - do you like our new look?

I was tiiiired last night. Mommy was doing homework on the bed and I rolled over (as shown). She couldn't resist. She googled "sideways head" and didn't come up with anything, and then tried to think of what already had a sideways head...not a cow, not a horse, not even a cool lizard, but a fish. Gee, thanks, Mom.










(note from Mommy - this was in no way set up, and he stayed like this long enough for me to search google images and get off the bed to grab my camera)

Visitors

Mommy's sister and her husband came to visit at the end of August...we never posted about it because Mommy has been so busy, but here are a few pics from the trip to the big dog park!

On the way to the creek










Cody shaking off









Daddy playing fetch with us












We were so excited to have visitors! While they were here Mommy and Daddy left us at home and went down to Colorado Springs to go to the top of Pike's Peak...we wanted to go but we weren't allowed on the train that went to the top.



























They also went to Estes Park and bought some tee shirts and had ice cream (without us, again!) Here's a picture of Debbie and Andy at somewhere other than sea level (Cody would love to go on their boat someday!)












Thanks for sticking with us even though Mommy doesn't have much time to post - we still read most of what you guys write!

Oh, and pee ssss

Mommy and Daddy finished the deck -finally! Here's a pic of us before the spindles went on and before staining











Ta da! Look how big it is compared to me!

Camping

Mommy is back in school and is also in a really hard clinical rotation so she apologizes to all of our loyal readers that she hasn't been able to help us post more. Here are some of the much-anticipated pictures from camping!


Here is a candid of most of the group hanging out at Turquoise Lake, CO (near Leadville, for you CO doggies!) We found an awesome camping spot right up a hill from this lake and Mommy and Daddy said we did really really well with camping. We looooved running around and trying to snatch food from all of Mommy's classmates (the girls on the rocks) and their significant others!









One classmate even brought her new doggie - Grizzly! We enjoyed running around and playing with him. He is a boxer/mastiff mix and Mommy loves this picture because someday he will be bigger than Cody!









Daddy threw me in the lake. I was not happy.








But Cody had a great time swimming and chasing floaty toys!

















He was pooped from all that swimming!








Mommy has to do some more work so I guess this post is done. Hope you enjoyed our camping pictures!

We're going camping!

And no, not in our living room...Mommy just wanted to set up the new tent to make sure everything was in box. We loved walking in and out and in and out! Mommy and Daddy are going to have to tape my collar together while we're out in the wilderness though because I like to walk around at night and my collar jingles. Her alternative was finding a doggie sleeping bag that zips all the way around to wrap me up like a taco, but Daddy protested.

We can't wait to post pics next week of our big adventure!
