Smile

Mom says when I smile at her it makes her heart swell.  I always think it's the best policy to smile so people will know I am friendly.  Otherwise they might think I am a stuffed animal vicious attack dog.

Stanley smiles so much that mom says he smiles in his sleep!

But today we are smiling because it is our furiend Sugar's birthday!  

Happy Birfday Sugar!!

County Fair

The county fair is here for the next few days.  I snuck out of the yard to check it out.

Me & King Kong

The other day when mom took all those photos, she took this one too.  She said she would save it for its own day cuz it looked so pretty with all the flowers.  So today I asked mom if we could post it and she said "yes"!  Also, in the other photos (posted yesterday) some people noticed the size difference between me and King Kong Stanley.  There is almost 12 pounds difference!  People are shocked to find out we are littermates.  Stanley was the biggest and I was the smallest.  Dad weighed us on our 1 and 1/2 year birthday last week and I was just under 20 pounds (I lost a few ounces) and King Kong Stanley was just over 31 pounds.

Searching . . .

Yesterday, after supper when it cooled off to just a million degrees, we took a walkie.  At first it was just a regular walk around our neighborhood.  Then we ended up looking for something.  Unfortunately, neither mom or dad had their reading glasses so they could not read on the cell phone exactly what we were looking for!

Our pawrents wondered if we were looking for this little tree, or maybe the light post.  Mom kept saying, "I wish we had our reading glasses . . . "

Stanley had his own problems.  But then, me and Stanley found SOMETHING . . .

B&W Sunday Fail

Mom tried to find a picture for B&W Sunday but then she remembered when she and dad came to visit me and Stanley when we were just 5 weeks old.  We were already in love by then.

Pee Ess - We just turned 1 and a 1/2 yesterday!

Fitness Friday

Many of you know that on Fridays we get to run 6 miles with our mom and dad.  They run on Mondays and Wednesdays too but Fridays are our special day to run together.  So me and Stanley always look forward to Thursday nights when we see our food dishes get picked up when we go to bed.  (Dr. Eddy said NOT to eat anything 90 minutes before AND after exercise to help prevent bloat.)  As soon as we see that happen we know we are going running in the morning!  

We love running and staying fit.  It is impawtent for peeps and pups to stay fit and healthy. And it sure poops us out!

*Note the Dodo Bird.  Mom said I should tell you that they bought a 3-pack of them at Costco (they are on sale right now) and Stanley has NOT damaged one of them!  We play with them a lot too. We've had them about 6 weeks now.  The squeaker is actually inside a ball and so far Dr. Destruction Stanley hasn't decided he needed to remove it!

Running Doods

Mom's Note:  In case anyone is wondering . . . the reason the boys don't run with us the other days is because it is too far for them.  Also, when we run with the Doods we have to take special precautions to make sure they don't get too hot and we can't do that on some of our routes.
