Daddy's Heinz 57 Party

Mommy gave Daddy a party earlier this month cause it was him's Heinz 57. Me waited to tell eberybody about it til Mommy downloaded the pictures.

Mommy invited them friends to a Champagne Brunch to help Daddy celebrate hims birthday. Auntie Margret came from TX to visit too!!Me and Bugs got to go BUT we had to stay in tha kennel cause the last time thems had a party out doors we broked almost all of tha wine glasses and came close to knocking Uncle Phil down. Even though we was in tha kennel we gots to see everybody and Aunt Maggie (Mommy's friend from work)broughted us doggy treats.

After tha party was over we gots to come out and eat some of tha left overs. Me and Bugs loves to eat bananas. And Daddy and Auntie Margaret teased us with these things that thems blew in our faces.

We wasn't real sure what that thing was coming from Auntie Margaret's mouth and me wanted to bite it.

Then Daddy did it to us too!! Now you would think your Daddy wouldn't try to tease you with this noise maker thingy but hims did. Bugs really, really, really wanted that ole noise maker too, but Daddy wouldn't give it to him. Now that just isn't fair. Here we was locked up in that kennel during tha whole party and now we can't even have tha toy.

Finally!!! Auntie Margaret let Bugs try to blow in it but hims lips couldn't do it. That little puppy can throw hims head back and howl with tha best of thems. He always is going "AWWWWWOOOO" but hims couldn't make them lips blow that noise maker.

We gots new names too, Auntie Margaret called Bugs "Lover Lips" cause hims was all of tha times trying to kiss her and her called me "Cuddle Butt". Now me isn't to sure about being called Cuddle Butt, somebody might think me has a big butt....

Dog Days of Summer

Me and Bugs knows what it means when we hears the term "the dog days of summer"!!
Mommy and Daddy tooked us camping again last weekend to the Boyd Lake State Park in tha house on wheels. It was soooooooooo hot me and Bugs wanted to spend the whole camping trip in tha house on wheels cause there was air conditioning. Being "House Dogs First Class" we is not used to being in that kind of heat.

Mommy and Daddy didn't like it either. Thems decided tha bestest thing to do was stay inside the air conditioning during tha hottest part of tha day. Of course with all of us in that house on wheels tha air conditioning got used up quickly but it was better than being outside in all of that heat that's for sure.

The good thing was that Bugs learned how much fun it was to play in tha lake. We had little tiny waves coming into tha shore to bite at and Bugs was pretending hims was a Kangaroo and hopping way up in the air as hims was playing in tha water. We even went out as far as our chests. Mommy was a little worried we would go to far and her would have to try to rescue us.

Mommy was concerned for a little black dog who was at tha campground. Hims owners lefted him in a little hard sided crate all day while thems was gone somewheres. Hers wanted to give him some water but hims wasn't very friendly and growled and barked at her. Me thinks hims was just scared and thirsty and didn't know our Mommy wanted to help him. Mommy worried and worried and would go check on him to make sure hims was okay and try to make friends with him but hims wasn't having none of it. Mommy was afraid her might get bit trying to help him so all hers could do was keep an eye on him and make sure hims wasn't in distress. Hims peoples finally came home about 10:00 at night. Me sure is glad me and Bugs has such wonderful humans to take care of us.

We did learn something from this whole camping trip, it's way to hot to camping in July in the lower country of Colorado. We're going to wait to go back there late in tha fall, it'll be lots cooler, less people and more fun.

Oh yeah, and Mommy brought home a nice wicker dog basket for me and Bugs. Daddy didn't think me would fit in tha dog basket but me has plenty of room. Bugs doesn't seem to like it to much which is fine with me cause hims thinks everything is for him and hims doesn't share really well either.

Pooped Puppies

We is some pooped puppies tonight!! Me and Bugs gots to go camping again this weekend with our peoples. And we gots to go to tha good place where we don't have to be tied up all of tha times. Do you know what hard work it is to camp at almost 9'000 feet? Well let me tell you something, running up and down tha mountain sniffing eberything takes a lot out of us puppies.

Mommy and Daddy said we was tha bestest dogs too, cause thems was other people camped near us and thems had a little Weimaraner puppy about Bugs age and we stayed right with our peoples in our camp site. That little puppy's people keeped it tied up and didn't pay it no attention either. That poor little fellow wimpered and cried and barked all of tha time. Me and Bugs on the other paw, didn't bark at all. We did growl a little at some imagined bears and moutain lions but thems was only imagined. We had tha bestest time chasing this black squirrel up a tree and Bugs tried to catch this robin. Silly puppy, hims doesn't know ya can't catch no bird!! Mommy said Bugs must think hims is a bird dog like me thinks me is a rabbit dog. We was so good we eben let Mommy and Daddy sleep until 7:00 in the morning yesterday, today we got them up at 6:00.

The bestest part about camping and not being tied up is you gets to have your own camp chair and you gets to go in and out of the house on wheels anytime you wants too. In fact Mommy has two extra camp chairs hers is going to designate special for me and Bugs not that we won't want to sit in thems chairs but it's a really nice touch on Mommy and Daddy's part. Now me will tell you that Mommy did have a run set up for me and one for Bugs just in case we got to rowdy or wanted to wander off but we didn't cause we is the bestest puppies anyone could ever want.

We had a bisitor too. A little humming bird camed to our camp to eat from the feeded Mommy hung out. Thems little birds is fast and Bugs couldn't catch thems. Mommy was lucky enough to catch it on tha camera. If ya look really hard you can make out the little humming bird. Do ya see it?

AND Mommy and Daddy thwarted (don't ya like tha new big word me learned this weekend) us escaping out of tha house on wheels when thems stops to get gas. Mommy got this brillant idea of getting a dog barrier like you would use in a SUV and adapted it for the house on wheels. At first thems had the bottom bar to high and me and Bugs would just slip right under it but thems fixed that before we ever lefted our house. Thems adjusted them bars so we couldn't get under them and we couldn't go over them. All we could do is stick our head through tha bar to get pets on tha head. Mommy thougt we looked like we was in jail.

We is going camping again in two weeks but this time to Boyd State Park and that means we is going to have to be tied up tha whole time.
