Sorry no blog :)-

Hi everyone! Mom hasn’t been able to blog lately….so here we are playing catchup again. Here are some pictures of our run through the trails we go to before Mom went to her surgery last week. 

I was such a good boy while Mom was sick. I did get bored though so even though she didn’t feel good, she took me for my runs at the playground.

Here’s a few pics of us today before she went out today.

 

Mom says she’ll be working on this site this week…so come back soon!

Why Prior Research of Your Chosen Breed is SO Important!

Lately I have been just blown away by the sheer number of people online who have Great Danes, and yet know next to nothing about the breed. I belong to facebook groups for dane owners, and half of the people that post, don’t seem to know even the most basic of things, like what to feed a puppy. What really bothers me, is that when you try to educate them, which is supposedly what they’re there asking questions for, you get attitude from them as if they know it all and don’t need answers. Well then why bother asking them? If you don’t like the truth, don’t ask for it…or so my way of thinking goes.

There are so many Great Danes lately for sale on free ad sites. The excuses are usually the same. Excuses that to me, are IN excusable, if you had bothered to do your research BEFORE bringing home the pup that is.

For instance…the most common one I see, is “I have to get rid of my 8 month old dane. He’s just gotten too big and is too rough with my son/daughter or small breed dog. The other one that is common, is ” I can’t afford to feed him”, or ” I wasn’t expecting the vet bills to be this high”. All of these things, had they bothered to do ANY research at all about the breed, they would have known to expect, or atleast anticipate the possibility of such a thing happening.

First of all…feeding. Oh how it bugs me to read owners BRAGGING about how they feed Iams puppy food, or god forbid, puppy chow. Yes, let’s get you a gold ribbon right away! Although there is always a large debate on the food issue when it comes to danes, atleast in regards to the different varieties out there, the main point always stays the same. Great Dane pups especially, MUST be feed a premium food. Food that is within the proper protein, calcium and fat range. This is detrimental to their growth and health as they mature. The sad part, is the vets who reccommend these crap grocery brand foods to them, and tell the owners how wonderful they will do on it.
We’ve all seen what can come from feeding bad food to a dane. Puppy food especially, unless designed for a growing giant breed’s needs, is a big problem. Knuckling over, bones that grow too fast, and other health issues abound. It’s sad too see and maddening to watch when you give the advice and it is ignored. Only to read from the very same poster a month or two down the road…”Oh No my pup has this problem!”

Then we get to the issue of kids and danes. I know that many a dane has been raised with children and made out just fine. I also know, that many reputable breeders and rescues will not sell to those with small children. The reason being that they are far too accustomed to seeing danes being rehomed or dumped, when Little Johnny gets knocked over or gets a whipping tail in his face sending him flying across the room. Knowing how big these dogs get, and knowing that as they grow, there are going to be times when they’re clumbsy, maybe not paying 100 % attention to where they are going and how fast….you SHOULD know that this can and probably WILL happen. Even if your dog and child are supervised 24/7, some things happen before you can react. Sadly, 9 times out of ten, it’s the dog who will pay the price.

Same goes for small breeds dogs in the home. Again, I know MANY dane owners have both, and make out just fine. I also know, that accidents can and do happen, usually in the most unexpected way. The dogs start playing, and the next thing you know, the dane steps on the little one the wrong way, and instantly there are broken bones or brain damage. I’ve heard it many times. Cats, dogs, stepped on or mouthed a bit too hard and either the little one ends up with thousands of dollars in vet bills to fix it, or it’s put down. These things should always be taken into consideration before a person gets a dane, because again, nine times out of ten? The dane will be the one who suffers, even though he/she never intended for the accident to happen.

I have done my best to socialize Luke with every type of dog, person or situation immaginable since the day he came to me. It’s been difficult, because where we live, there is not a huge abundance of dogs, and those that we do see, are not dog friendly, half of them aren’t even PEOPLE friendly. He adores every dog he meets, big or small. But because of his size, his ability to seriously harm one so much smaller than him, I do not allow him to play much with little breeds, especially if I don’t really know the person that well. I am responsible for Luke. I have to put his safety first, and I know that even though my boy is the poster dog for GENTLE GIANT, things happen, and I never want to put him in that position. He wasn’t even allowed to be around Lilly much, until she got big enough. Now I have to try and keep him away from HER because she beats HIM up!LOL

The same goes for children. If I don’t know them personally, I do not allow Luke to run offleash in the park if there are kids there. He loves kids, and usually he is very gentle with them, but again, this is for HIS safety. Alot of parents don’t seem to teach their children how to behave around a dog, any dog, let alone one who’s twice the size as them. So Luke is socialized with children who I know are dog friendly, who will actually listen to me when I tell them how to behave around him so that both they and him can enjoy themselves.

I know we dane owners get a laugh out of the comments we all recieve from strangers on our walks, wherever we take our dogs. There are some main misconceptions we almost always hear. It doesn’t bother me to hear them from someone who doesn’t have any experience with a dane. Most people here have never even seen one except on tv. But when I hear those things from a dane owner??? Yes…it bothers me. It makes my stomache turn a little bit, wondering just what that poor dog has in it’s future, if their owner doesn’t even know the basics. Yet you can only educate if that person is willing to listen.

I take advantage of every opportunity that I get when out walking with Luke, to educate those who ask about him, or who mention they’d love to have a dane of their own. I tell every one of them, flat out…they are the most wonderful, beautiful, loving creatures on the face of the planet but they are NOT for everyone! They are not a breed that you should just go buy because you saw one that caught your eye. They have many needs….they come with many issues. I think it’s important for all of us who love and appreciate our beloved danes…to take advantage of any chance we get, and do our best to let people know just what these dogs are about. Encourage anyone who is seriously considering a dane in their future, to do their research! I spent hours upon hours, year after year, lurking in groups and forums, reading every website I could find, learning as much as I could about this breed before I ever even thought of getting one.  If we can teach just one person to do the same….we are doing a major service to a Great Dane in the future.

  

Never Left Out & Another walk through the trails

Saturday, February 20, 2010

I really don’t understand humans who think I shouldn’t be a part of EVERYTHING Mom does…I mean come on! She loves me best! I know she tries not to let her other human people know, but it’s pretty obvious if I may say so myself 🙂 So lately Mom’s been telling me that I should really let up on the possessive streak, and let her have some space with her humans. I don’t get it…you mean, you want to hug and kiss and touch people and I’m not supposed to be there? HUH? Sorry….no compute. Here’s some fun pics of just how well I’m doing with the new “let Mom have some space excersise”

Umm..EXCUSE ME?? What do you think you’re doing with my Mom’s lips??

Mom??? U ok??

Ok lady…we have to have a talk! Do the words “SHE’s MINE!” mean anything to you?

Ohhh you’re just playing?? Ok well let me in on the fun then!

Hmm…well that excersise went well I think…I didn’t eat anyone after all! 🙂
Today Mom and my human brother Tyler took me to the trails again. The snow is starting to melt and what a mucky mess of fun I had on the way back!!
Here we are walking…

 

We Love These Trails!

Luke and I have started going out to the trails a few minutes away from here and we’re really enjoying it. It’s so peaceful out there and Luke has so much fun exploring and smelling new things. The last time we went I took some pictures.

Not much difference between my hand and his paw!

A Day with my best friend Lilly

My best friend Lilly was here all day yesterday and over night and we had a BLAST together! She’s really kinda rough with me ya know…my cheeks are sore from those puppy needle teeth. Mom says I am a great boy for being so gentle and patient with her! We played and played all day and night, then Mom took us down to the park, and still we played until Mom did some training with us and it was time for a few hours sleep.

OWWWWWCH!!!

Please stop eating my face girl!

Yes you can play with my toys…Im good like that!

Look at how big my paws are compared to hers!Finally the little monster fell asleep! I’m soooo tired!
I love you Lilly but I don’t sleep on the floor…I’m a GREAT Dane! I get da bed or the couch at the very least.

I Didn’t Mean To..Honest!

What’s Important

Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Sometimes I find myself feeling guilty for the things that we don’t have…like a big house, a big yard, alot of money. Especially when I read about other dane owners who seem to have such a great life, have the means to go all over the place and do all sorts of different things with their dogs. Which is funny when I think about it, because I’ve never felt that way before. I never felt awful about my son not having EVERYTHING he ever wanted, not having the best of the name brand clothes or the top of the line toys. I always looked at it from the point of view that having everything doesn’t make you a better person.

I know there are people out there who think that having a dog in an apartment, especially a Great Dane, isn’t fair. Well what I’d like to say to them is this:
We might not have all that others have…..but when I go to bed at night, I can rest easy knowing that Luke has everything he needs. He is not just a dog, he is at my side no matter what I do. He isn’t ignored while I go about my daily routine. He is included in everything, even if it’s something as simple as doing the laundry. He is talked to, he is loved, he is made a part of every family visit, every place I can take him, he goes. He eats better than I do that’s for sure!LOL

Luke gets more exposure to new experiences, more excersise, more socialization than most every dog I know, atleast around here. I know people who have houses, who think the back yard is plenty enough excersise and stimulation for their dogs until the odd day they feel like going somewhere like a park for a walk. Not so with my boy. Everyday we go out, even if it’s only for short intervals because of the cold. I’m lucky that I have a playground right down the street, a memorial park about a ten minute walk away, where he can run to his heart’s content.
He is not just a dog….he is my world. I thank God for him every single day when I wake up with his jowls on my cheek and his drool on my pillow…and every night when I give him a kiss and tell him how he has changed my life, I pray that God will be merciful and allow me to live a long life with him.
I am a tough cookie..always have been. I’ve known loss, and lived on with barely a hiccup or break in my stride. But I can honestly say, that if anything were to happen to Luke…I would be totally and utterly lost. The bond between us is something I cannot ever describe. I’ve tried believe me. I can’t immagine a life now without him totally in the middle of it, tail wagging a mile a minute, feet stomping on everything, drool flying. I love this boy more than I ever thought it possible to love someone or something.

I find happiness when he’s happy. If he’s playing with a new dog and enjoying himself, I enjoy myself…as if it were me who were playing. If he’s happy to get a new treat, I am happy, as if it were me who went out and treated myself, which never happens by the way lol. If he’s bored, then I get up off my butt and do whatever I can to give him something fun to do. He gives me a reason to get out of bed when otherwise life and it’s many stresses, not to mention the pain I’m in most of the time…would make me want to just crawl back under the covers and stay there.

I don’t need him to be the BEST dog, the robot who does a million tricks and never disobeys a single command. I don’t need him to be the smartest or to win anything to prove how he great he is. To me he is perfect, even when he steals the toilet paper, or the potatoes lol. Even when he has his moments of being the rebel. His personality is amazing to me. The way he finds such joy in simple things. The way he is so eager to give love and affection to anyone who will take it. He doesn’t care if I ever get out of my pj’s and put on my make up. He doesn’t care if our house is perfect, if we live in a mansion, if we drive a fancy car. As long as he gets to snuggle and play tug and mess up the sheets when I’m trying to make the bed, as long as he gets to have his zoomies and play in the park, he is happy. He doesn’t ask perfection from me….He doesn’t want an explanation for everything I think and say and do…he simply wants to be by my side.

Crazy as it may sound….sometimes I will look at him, and ask him….”Do I give you enough? Are you happy? What else can I do to make your life better?” and in those moments, I wish so badly that he could talk…that he could tell me in words exactly how he feels. But everytime, he will look deep into my eyes, and give me the biggest kiss. Maybe that is my answer.

I keep telling him that one day, we’ll win the lotto and I’ll buy him a big house with lots of land to run and play in. But you know? I know Luke. It wouldn’t matter if I had 50 acres…he would never be the dog to go out and run in it if I wasn’t by his side. That is who he is.

I wonder sometimes there is truth to what some believe, that people can come back in another life as humans, or vice versa. I don’t really believe that, but there are days when I really can’t help but wonder. He is so human like, has been since the minute I picked him up at the airport. That wasn’t something I taught him, by treating him like a human. It was simply him. The fabric of who and what he is and always will be. I know Danes are one of the most if not THE most human like dogs….but Luke takes it to a whole new level sometimes. Again, something I can’t explain or describe. You’d just have to know him.

There are alot of things I want to do with my boy…new things I want to experience with him, things I want to teach him. But in the end, if he never learns another command, if he simply stays the sweet, funny, loveable guy he is, then I will thank God for every second I am lucky enough to have with him.

He is irreplacable…..he is what love is and should be, and I’d rather live in a cardboard box with him, than live in heaven without him.

I’m Not Dumb!

I may not be the smartest dog on the block, but I sure aint the dumbest either! I know when Mom gets out of that shower thing and uses that machine on her hair, she must be going somewhere, and lately, that might mean she’s going to leave me behind. Well no way was I gonna let that happen last night! My little Aunt Becca was over, and I was just sure that Mom was going to leave me with her while she went out without me. Gasp…Now why would Mom ever want to leave ME???HUH?? Sooo…while she used that machine on her head….I did what I always do, I guarded her. Aunt Becca got some pics of me doing it 🙂

Uh oh…she’s got that thing again!

“You don’t have to leave me here, I’ll be good!”

“Really? We’re only going to the park??!! Yay!!”

“Thank you Mom…I’m happy now!”

My Mom Loves me!

More fun at the park & a walk

Sunday, January 24, 2010

More fun in the park and a long walk

Yesterday it was pretty nice out, still cold but not as cold as it has been…and Luke wanted to get his zoomies out so we went down to the park to play in the snow again. After he got his zoomies out we ended up walking to this HUGE grave yard called Fern Hill Cemetary. It’s very beautiful, if you don’t think of the grave yard part. Strangely enough, Luke wasn’t the only dog that ever walked in there. Every few steps we could see where other dogs had marked their territory, and we even saw a man with his smaller breed dog down on the other end. It was a nice, quiet, long walk..and we enjoyed it.

At Fern Hill

Playtime with Mom

Mom always plays with me when I get bored. Whatever I want to do, is ok with her. Well Most of the time. People say I’m spoiled…well I don’t know why I shouldn’t be, I mean come on, I am Luke..the GREATEST Dane! 🙂

Mom makes me do some tricks before I get to play with her though. I have to do things like sit or down, and then I get the ball.

I have do go ALL the way down??? No fair Mom!

Come on Mom I’m sitting, just gimme da ball! Mom doesn’t mind when we make a mess either. She took alot of stuff out of our livingroom just so I wouldn’t have to worry about breaking things. She says it looks empty but she doesn’t care.

Tell me you’re not gonna eat my treat Mom!!

I’m gonna win! I’m stronger!haha

Luke’s 1st Babysitting Gig lol

Luke’s first babysitting gig lol

Luke is in love…with a puppy named Lilly. 🙂 She lives upstairs with my friend and neighbor. He’s loved her since the day she came home, but because she was soooo small, we never allowed Lilly to actually be down on the ground and play with him, just in case. Although they did get to see eachother often as long as someone was holding her.

Well…Lilly has grown up enough so and had enough exposure to Luke that I felt it was now safe to let them play a bit. He was so excited to have her here, and I will be honest, I did worry at first because he is just so big and shhh (so clutsy at times lol) that I worried he might hurt her. He did great, so…I offered to watch Lilly for the afternoon while her Mom took my son and hers to the mall. Good trade if you ask me…I got the better end of the bargain!LOL

Here are some pics from their day together….

I’m So Proud!

Sunday, January 24, 2010

I must say that I’m very proud of my boy. This past week, I had appointments and things that I needed to do, and I couldn’t take him with me. Patty couldn’t come and stay with him, so he had to rough it out alone while I was gone. No crate, since he still refuses to go in it, and I will not traumatize him by forcing him. I already tried, it’s a no go. Anyway…I was worried, not about what he’d do to the house, as I kept him in the livingroom only, and let’s face it, the couch is junk and replacable, Luke getting so upset about me leaving him and getting sick…is what I was worried about.

Patty teased me terribly about how I was acting lol. She said and I quote: “I don’t know which one of you is worse, you or him!” lol.

The first time I was gone about an hour. I don’t know whether he howled much since I wasn’t here, but when I got back, he was quiet until he heard me and then he was just SOOO happy to see me it was unreal lol. It took him a good ten minutes to calm down and I was so proud of him.

Later that night I had to go shopping for groceries, and it was a major storm out. I had to leave him again…this time I was gone atleast 2 hours and as with the first time, he did great. I brought him back a nice treat and gave him tons of loving.

The Memorial Park

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Park Pictures from last week

Hi there! These are some pictures from our visit to the Memorial Park a week or so ago. Mom’s been sick with the flu and hasn’t been able to do much online.

This was a great day though…I had a BLAST!

Mom put my coat back on because it started to get colder….and I played with my human brother Tyler…

Mom sat right in the snow to get a picture with me. She didn’t even complain about having a cold wet behind 🙂 I fink she loves me!

Do NOT Get A Great Dane If:

Monday, January 4, 2010

Don’t Get A Dane If…

These are just MY personal opinions…my thoughts..so take em or leave em basically.

Do NOT Get A Great Dane If:

You think that a dog has it’s “place” and that place is not with you.
If you want a dog that will automatically learn every trick you try to teach him, never make a mistake, never have it’s moments of refusing to do what you KNOW he/she knows how to do. They are not robots!

Don’t get a Dane…if you think that dogs should stay outside all day and only come in at night. These precious dogs NEED you…ALL of the time. To outcast them is to break their mind and spirit.

Don’t get a dane, if you think harsh commands and treatment is the way to train. They are extremely sensitive, and nothing will shut them down faster than having the one they love yelling, hitting or using other harsh methods to get your way with your dog.

Don’t get a dane if you worry about drool or slobber on your clothes, in your hair, ont he couch, EVERYWHERE! Those of us who truly love these dogs, clean it up with a smile because it’s just part of what makes them who they are.

Don’t get a Great Dane if you cannot comprehend that they are unlike any other animal, any other breed on the face of the planet. What works for one breed in training, behavior and otherwise may not and often times DOES not work with these dogs. They are unique, they are incredibly special, and they are truly a blessing to anyone who is lucky enough to have them in their home.

They are not just dogs, they are family. They are your best friends, your confidantes. They will make you laugh and they will make you cry. You will worry yourself sick over every little hiccup and bump and bruise…sometimes worse than you did your own children. You will pray everyday that God is merciful and allows you to keep them in your life for longer than what is so often the case with this breed.

Do not get a Dane, if you are not willing to go through each and every stage they have with them. If having your furniture messed up or destroyed, your shoes obliviated, your clothes full of hair and drool bothers you….these are not the dogs for you. ((ALTHOUGH not every dane is destructive, you never know until you get one, it’s a chance you take until they’re trained))

Don’t get a Great Dane if the only reason you want one is their size, their ability to intimidate, just by their look and size alone. They are not there to make you look cool!

Don’t get a Dane if you’re not prepared to spend the extra money to buy a premium dog food and to research extensively the best foods to give them.

Don’t get a Great Dane if you cannot find humour in the silly things they do…in the zoomies that will totally wreck your livingroom but to those of us who love them, bring nothing but laughter and a smile to our faces.

If you can’t give 100% of your love, affection and care to one of these giants…then walk away and get another breed. Do ALOT of research and talk to people who live and love these dogs, find out what day to day life is REALLY like with them before taking that leap.

DO Get a Dane: If you want the best friend you ever had, the best cuddle partner, the funniest, the most gentle hearted, loving spirited creature on the face of the planet. You will never regret a minute of your time with a Great Dane if you truly love and appreciate them for just what they are.

The Best Way To Spend A Stormy Night

Saturday, January 2, 2010

It’s been storming all day and all night. Dere’s TONS of snow down on da ground! It’s sooo cold too! So Mom decided we’d relax and she’d read her new book she got for christmas. I’m such a lucky boy…sometimes she even reads out loud to me. I liked this book and I thought I’d show her!

How NOT To Make Your Bed lol

I LOVE it when Mom changes the sheets on our bed! We play this game every time. Or really, I play it and she puts up with me lol.

Den I fell asleep on the blankets before Mom could make them. She said “Ok fine I’m going to the couch” and I jumped off pretty quick then! She got da bed made and in we went!

Fun At Grampy’s

Yesterday Mom and I went down to our Grampy’s to make him supper. I love Grampy’s back yard…I can run and pway there! Mom got some pictures and a video of me having zoomies before I had to go in and be a reaaaaaaal good boy in Grampy’s house. Dere’s tons of rools dere…after a while I wanted to come home.

Snow! Woooweeeeeeeee!

Then it was time to go in so Mom could cook supper. I was on my BEST behavior HONEST!

Who could doubt this face?

At home I get to sleep on the couch or da bed. Here I have to lay on da floor. No fair!

Or I can just use Mom as a chair!

Can we go home NOW Mom? I’ve been good long enough!

I’s is sleepy!

All About ME!

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Hello World…Dis is my blog. My Mom is writing it for me of course 🙂

I can’t wait to meet other dogs with blogs. Since we don’t know any other Great Danes here where we live, Mom says this is as close to it as we’ll probably get.

So you wanna know about me? Ok here we go:

I’m a Black Great Dane. I was born on July 14, 2009 in Quebec.

I had lots of brothers and sisters, but fate made me stay with my Dog Mom until my Human Mom could find me and arrange to bring me home.

I came to my new home on September 16th, 2009. I flew in an airplane! I didn’t like dat much. Very loud noises and I was scared. But once I seen my new Mom standing there when dey brought me out I knew it was all worth it. I had come home…my real true home forever.

Mom was trying so hard not to cry. The mean cab driver wouldn’t let me get out of my cage to be in Mom’s arms…but I twied my best to let her know I waz happy to see her! I kissed her through those bar things…and was a very good boy da whole drive home.

I am very happy in my home with my Mom. She wuvs me soooo much! She tells me every single day, atleast a billion times 🙂

My favorite thing to do is snuggle with Mom. It makes me feel good to be so close to her. Infact…I don’t wike it much when I can’t be close to her. And I let her know it too!

Things I Like:
My Hedgie (( a stuffed/squeeky hedgehog that my friend Loki gave me for christmas))

My squeeky hammer

My “baby”: a stuffed guinea pig toy that my big brother Tyler gave me when I first came here.

I LOVE treats..any kind will do. Mom likes to give me natural kinds though. I love jerky, any type of bone, especially the big marrow bones..YUM!

I am not a real active dog, although I do get zoomies once or twice a day. Mom always laughs even though I sometimes totally wreck the place :)-

I’m very good at getting brushed and having my nails done.

I don’t destroy stuff most of the time. Sometimes I like to rip the buttons off of the couch or take off with shoes, but it’s a game…they have to chase me to get them back! So much fun!

I like to play tug of war with Mom. She’s the only one allowed to play it with me. Sometimes she lets me win, and sometimes I let her win 🙂

My favorite place to go is down to the playground/park at the end of our road. I get to run and dig in the sand, I LOVE to dig but I never do it in our yard.

I have a sister…she’s a cat. Hailie. And she is NOT nice! I don’t know why but she don’t like me…I try to be nice to her, and I don’t chase her or nothin…but she meows and hisses and sometimes she tries to scratch me…for NO reason! I don’t fink we’ll ever be close. Oh well…I have Mom.

Every night Mom and I curl up on our bed…and watch tv shows on her computer. Sometimes she has a treat, and I’ll steal a few…but now she’s bringing MY treats in so we can both have some once in a while. Dats always nice!

I grow so fast I amaze myself! Sometimes I feel like I’m in a giant body dats too big for me. I wanna pway with little dogs but I’m just too big and rough even though I don’t mean to be. HONEST!

I don’t bark much…only when someone is around our house outside, and only to let Mom know. I don’t keep yapping like some dogs. Mom wouldn’t like that!

I’m VERY good on a leash. Mom says I always was. It was like I was born knowing how to heel hee hee. Mom tries to take me out as often as she can but since I can’t handle the cold…we don’t get out as much as we used to. It’s SOOO cold here in da winter!

So yeah..I’m special..Everyone tells me so. I get alot of attention when we go places. Not many people in our city have seen a dog like me. I’m always very nice to them so they know we’re not a mean dog. Mom says I make her proud when I’m good. She always praises me no matter what I do right. Even though I have always known how to pee outside, she still praises me and tells me how good I am when I let her know it’s time to pee.

I think I have a great life here with Mom. She asks me alot if I’m happy…of course I am Mom! I have a Mom to love me and keep me warm and fed, she plays with me whenever I want, she lets me drool and slobber all over our pillow and in her hair. She tries to teach me new things all the time. I’m a lucky boy but Mom is luckier! 🙂

Nap Time With Mom

Ok so I admit it…I still sweep with my mom. I wike to be as close as I can getz to her. She don’t mind! She says waking up with my drool in herz hair and on herz face is no big deal. Even kicking her all night is ok. Aint she a great Mamma to have??

Fun At The Park Video

Finally a nice day to pway outside! Mom took me to da park and I had so much fun!

I had a great christmas!! My Mom spoiled me with tons of treats and fun stuff to pway with. Mom was worried that I might ruin our tree but I’z was good and never bothered it. I loved having friends and family come to visit. Sometimes I got a bit too excited and had to get “spoken to” but Mom still wuvs me and says I waz good!

Videos Of My 1st Snow

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Mom borrowed her friend’s camera to take videos and pictures of me before she got her new camera for christmas. Here’s me at the park playing in the snow.

Mom has to tell me to “Go play” alot cause I don’t like to leave her. She says I can’t get excersise if I’m by her side all the time. I think she’s probably right :)-
