Happy New Year!

Here's to reaching new heights in 2012!

7 Months of Age

Today

Happy "7 months" to all my sibs!

I hope everyone has now had the opportunity to experience

the way cool thing called SNOW!

Yawn

Merry Christmas Everyone

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

My First Christmas

The Big Bag

Thank you Santa for the new toys, rawhide and cookies!

Liverlicious

As there was freshly cooked liver, we decided to take the game to a new level.

  

It's Yer Choice:  Liver Edition

While I maintain self-control,
I can look at the treats or

I can look at the camera
(but it causes white eye)

Assorted cookies on the sofa
mozzarella and freshly-cooked liver on my leg

Earlier in the day:

Unlike yesterday (6c), I had to sunbathe indoors today
because it was -4c (-12c windchill!)

Happy First Day of Summer ...

... er ... um, Winter?

 Basking in 6c

Dreaming of a White Christmas ...

In the meantime ...

 

I was a very good boy, Santa!
I did not venture onto the barely-frozen pond
in search of my latest passion: SNOW
P.S. Can you pass on my letter to Mother Nature?

Hot Off the Presses

The photo has arrived!

On December 2, at the tender age of 6 months and 2 days, I entered the conformation ring for the very first time in the Jr Puppy class (6-9 mos). I went on to the Winners ring and won "Best of Winners" and earned 2 points toward the title of Conformation Champion. Very exciting day for the youngest V entered!

A great big thank you to Rhonda Giannini for handling me in the ring and for making my first show experience fun, positive and successful!

Agility Equipment

WHY I should never be left alone with agility equipment.

Ran off with teeny tiny tunnel, unhooked 2 velcro tabs,
ran through - got stuck !

Teeny tiny tunnel is now permanently "out of sight out of mind."

43.8 lbs!

"Say, aaaaah"

Why is it that I am the only one covered in mud?

It was rainy and the photos are grainy but Charlie and I had a blast after class

Caught in the Act 2

Note to Mom: If you must wear mitts that look like toys DON'T leave them
where I can reach them!

Foiled by the Camera Hound again!
