My Christmas Presents

These are a couple of pictures of me with my Christmas presents. I got three flavored tennis balls from Santa: Chocolate, Peanut Butter, and BBQ. I also got a knotless rawhide bone from my wonderful Aunt Laura. It took me quite a while to get it chewed up, because it has no knots! I also got a brand new Kong from mom & dad, and banana flavored treats from grandma. All of my presents this year were VERY yummy! I hope everyone else had a good Christmas like me!!!

My Saturday

It Snowed!!!

Mom and I love the snow!!! Dad, on the other paw, hates the snow. Actually he only hates it because it usually means he will have to go to work. So yesterday, while dad was working , mom and I got to spend lots of time together.

We went outside to play in the snow. I had lots of fun running around . I only stopped long enough to pose for mom by our lamp post. She can't get enough Holiday photos.

Back inside I curled up on the couch while mom did some housework. I'm not much help in that area. I really don't like vaccume cleaners, brooms, mops, or any of that type of stuff. But i'm good at watching.

When she was done with that I got to snuggle with her.

Me & My Dad

My dad and I have lots of fun together. One of my favorite things is to wrestle! Mom says we are crazy though, she doesn't like wresting.

These are some pictures of us during a wresting match. I start by being cute & nice to sucker him down onto the floor with me. See I'm shaking paws with him..

... and then I make my move!!! Every now and then we get a little wild and things get knocked over. So we try to be careful, we don't want to make mom mad!



Don't let this picture fool you, I've got him right were I want him!!!











When we are both tired we call a truce. Here we are relaxing and watching football after a round of wrestling. I actually like hunting shows better, more animals and birds and stuff. Football isn't all bad though, I can relate to people chasing a ball around a field. I know how much fun it is!!! You might notice that I'm on his lap. Mom & dad say I'm too big to be a lap dog but they seem to let me anyway. I like to snuggle and I think I'm good at keep them warm in the winter . Plus to view is always better up on mom or dad's lap.

Christmas Photos

Well it's Christmas time so that means the annual Christmas Photo. In order for mom to get one photo she thinks she needs to take a bazillion!! Don't get me wrong I like to get my picture taken but sometimes I get tired of being so good for so long. Anyway here are a few of them. I think they are fine but I'm sure she will have to take some more before Christmas gets here.

This one is me begging her to stop!!

Visiters

This is me when it snowed last month. It was the first snow of the season.

It came along with a suprise visiter!!!

I did'nt catch her name but I found her in my yard. We got along great! We ran and played for quite awhile, till dad made me come inside. When I went back out she was gone. I hope she will come to visit again, I kind of liked her.

Speaking of visiters I have had quite a few this past month. My silly daughter Stella, Willow and Aunt Laura came over a couple of times. Here are a few pictures of them.

Stella curling up on the couch trying to be sneaky.

She isn't supposed to be on it but I told her that if she is

quiet and still then mom might not even notice her.

It works for me, sometimes!


Willow haning out, watching crazy Stella try to be sneaky.

BUSTED!!! Mom and Aunt Laura caught her, but since she was being SO CUTE they let it slide. This time!!

This is mom and grandma's cat Magic.

She actualy didn't visit me ( I'm not sure she likes me),

but mom and dad got to see her at Thanksgiving,

so I thought I would include her.

This is the New Addition to the family. Her name is Sierra, she belongs to grandma. I haven't got to see her yet, only pictures of her. I would like to met her buy dad thinks I might try to chase her. I wouldn't!! Really!! Well maybe but only if she trys to run from me. I wouldn't hurt her though. I like cats. It's just fun to chase them. Anyway Welcome to the family Sierra.

Snow

I Love the cool weather this time of the year. It makes me want to run around like a nut, as my mom would say. Today it SNOWED!! I got to play in it for awhile with mom. She hates the cold so we did't stay out very long. Then when dad came home I got to play with him for awhile. They both get cold too fast. They always want to come in just when I 'm starting to have fun. (I always have to check out the smells in the yard first, then I play)

View from my yard.

Me trying to hold still long enough for mom to take her picture.

Mom wasn't quick enough!!

Check out ALL the SNOW! Isn't it GREAT!!!

Since dad gets cold easier than me sometimes I like to try and warm him up. My plan is the quicker he gets warmed up the sooner he will go back outside with me!!

Hunting

Pheasant Hunting season has finally arrived!!! I Love this time of year. I get to run around and try to find birds for dad to shoot. I don't get to eat them but I sometimes try to get a couple of chomps in before I give it to him. I also get to see lots of my dog friends when we go. There is usually a bunch of us. Sorry I don't have any hunting pictures for you. Dad doesn't take a camera (he's too busy trying to shoot the birds) and the couple of times mom went with us guys we didn't see any birds and us dog wouldn't hold still long enough for pictures cause we were too excited. I do have this picture though. Dad like to go racoon hunting sometimes with his friend. When mom took this dad was playing with his preditor call. I kept hearing turky sounds coming from a box on the floor. Hence the crazy look I 'm giving him. A couple minitues after this picture I pounced on him for messing with me!!

So far this season we haven't seen too many birds but I did catch one all by myself!! Dad didn't even shoot it first!! I found it and it had a bad wing so I ran after it and caught it!! It was the only one we got that day too. My dad's friend is coming this week so that means I might get to go duck hunting. I like the ducks but I don't like having to sit still all the time and wait for them to land. I want to chase them. Oh well, I have to be good if I want to go. Hopefully we will to good this weekend, for dad's sake. I love the exercise but he gets grouchy if he has to walk alot and don't get to shoot very much!!
