Hanging out with my parents

Wow, everybody is gone now! Mommy and Daddy have been taking me out a lot. We go to this place in Douglas and Daddy gets in his kayak and fishes while Mommy walks me up the beach. There are so many good things to smell on the beach! Sometimes Mommy takes pictures of me and Daddy (and even herself!) while we are having fun out there.

I really like going to the beach!

Mommy's home!

Mommy came home from Skagway! I was sooo happy to have her back. Although, while she was gone Daddy and I ate a lot of pizza, pizza rolls and pizza pockets. Daddy always makes sure I get people food when Mommy's gone.
I'm not really sure why but Mommy and Daddy are sleeping on their mattress pads in the guest bedroom. It's not very soft and cozy in there so last night I snuck out. I started off in the main bedroom where Grammy and Great Grammy were sleeping. I curled up with them on the comfy bed but they didn't snuggle like Mommy & Daddy do. Next, I went to visit Jess & Michael. They were pretty comfortable to sleep with and they'd even pet me a little but they didn't snuggle like Mommy & Daddy either! Finally, I went back into the guest room, nestled together a little bit of blanket and snuggled in between Mommy and Daddy. They're definitely the best snugglers ever!

People keep coming to my house!

Wow, after a few days with Grammy Pam all these other people show up! I have no idea who they are but Mommy tells me that it's my Great Grammy, Cousin Jessica and her husband Michael. They're really nice and Great Grammy tried giving me chocolate tonight. Too bad Grammy Pam told her to stop. I was so close to some yummy chocolate!
Mommy says she's taking all these people to Skagway tomorrow and is leaving me again. Mommy seems to leave a lot lately. I wonder if it's because I'm starting to smell funny.
I think I smell funny because Aunt Molly tried giving me a bath the other day. Aunt Molly didn't really know how to do it but she wanted me to smell nice for Mommy & Daddy. I got in the shower but it didn't feel like the shower I have at home. Aunt Molly tried putting soap on me but it didn't smell like the soap I use at home. Soooooo, I decided I would end my shower. =)

More people!

It's great to have Mommy & Daddy home! They keep telling me how much they missed me while they were in Australia. What is this Australia place? And if they missed me so much why did they go there in the first place??

Tonight we went back to the airport. I was scared because I thought they were leaving me again. When we drove up to the sidewalk I saw Grammy Pam waiting for us. I got so excited that I squealed and wagged my nub as fast as I could. Mommy said that Grammy Pam is going to be staying with us for a few days. I like that a lot because sometimes Grammy feeds me when I do my begging trick.

Mommy & Daddy are home!

Aunt Molly tells me that today is an exciting day. I'm not really sure what's going on but she put me in the truck with all my toys and my kennel and we drove to the airport. At first I thought maybe she was sending me somewhere but then she said that Mommy and Daddy are coming home! She said we had to stop at Breeze In because Daddy hadn't had real coffee the whole time he was in Australia.
My parents were so excited to see me! They hugged me and let me lick them on their faces as much as I wanted. After that they took me back to my house and we all snuggled together.
I really miss Aunt Molly & Uncle Bob. We did lots of fun stuff together while my parents were gone and Aunt Molly took me with her wherever she went. I even got to go to the Red Dog with her and play in the warehouse. Maybe they'll let me visit them again sometime =)

Day 16

This morning I still didn't feel well. Aunt Molly let me stay home so that I could rest. Steven was here until about 10:30 and Uncle Bob came home around noon. I just slept the morning away and by the time Uncle Bob got home I was feeling much better. I had "my spring" back, at least that's what Uncle Bob told Aunt Molly when she called to check on me. Uncle Bob and I spent the day hanging out, Uncle Bob took some naps, so I did too. When Aunt Molly and Steven got home we packed up, loaded up the car and headed out for our couple days at Peterson Lake.

Day 15

We had work today and then we spent the evening getting ready for our camping trip this weekend. The picture is me with my pack. Uncle Bob, Aunt Molly and I were going to go downtown to Marine park for music in the park and then watch the fireworks, but Uncle Bob and Aunt Molly were pretty tired and they couldn't stay awake. That worked out okay for me cuz' I think Aunt Molly and Uncle Bob said I may have ate a piece of jalapeno, I didn't really like it. Uncle Bob's not sure if I did or not, but he was making a pizza and he dropped something, I ran in and ate it before he could stop me. I don't think I like those things. I started hacking and freaking Aunt Molly out. I did it off and on throughout the night, kind of like a dry heave. Aunt Molly and I didn't get much sleep. We just curled up on the coach and when I started doing that she would pet me and tell me I was going to be okay.

Days 11, 12, 13 and 14

Nothing to exciting has happened over the past few days. Aunt Molly had a class, something about Legos, so I have spent my mornings with Uncle Bob, then off to meet Aunt Molly at work, breaks in the park, hangin' in the car, little walks before bed. It's been a pretty mellow week, just catching up on my sleep.
