Rosco - Three weeks with the fish people

Snugglin', I mean "Hangin'" with Uncle Bob

2011-12-17T20:32:00.000-08:00

Dear mommy and daddy,

Today Aunt Molly had an appointment, so Uncle Bob and I spent some quality time together. Aunt Molly called it snuggling, but Uncle Bob insisted that we were hangin' out together. We went out the road and I got to run around. I stayed pretty close to Uncle Bob so he let me roam. It was cold, rainy and windy, but I played for a while. Then Uncle Bob started a fire, but I was too cold, so I ran to the truck, whined a little and then we headed home.

Uncle Bob made something called a prime rib roast for him and Aunt Molly. All I know about it is they gave me the bone and it was de-lious! I acted a bit crazy about it, but what can I say, it was so good!

I miss you like crazy, Roscoe

Friday Night with Aunt Molly and Uncle Bob

2011-12-16T21:00:00.000-08:00

Dear mommy and daddy,

Aunt Molly told me you made it to Anchorage, I was really happy to hear that. I wish I could have visited my cousins too, but I am having a fine time visiting with my Aunt & Uncle. Tonight Aunt Molly and I went for a walk. Douglas Highway was a bit busy and it freaked me out a little, but Aunt Molly talked to me the entire way home, that made me feel better.

When we got home I ran around the place like a crazy man. You can run circles around their place, it's pretty fun. I even jumped over Aunt Molly a couple of times, cuz she was in the path. After that I was pretty tuckered out.

I went and found my "old spot". Last time I was here I sat up here behind Steven, Aunt Molly has pictures or Steven and I.

Aunt Molly made me take this picture. I know I am cute, but I really don't know if I can handle having my picture taken so much.

When Uncle Bob got home we all cuddled on the couch for a while, then called it a night. I miss you.

Love, Roscoe

ps Aunt Molly thinks the reason I ate the cat food was because I am confused. Since my food is in a cat container.

All spruced up for my weekend with Aunt Molly....

2011-12-15T22:54:00.000-08:00

Wahoooo!!!!! Tomorrow my parents leave for Anchorage and I'll be staying with Aunt Molly. Aunt Molly has lots of fun stuff planned for us! I'm sure we'll get to snuggle on the couch, go for walks and play at Sandy Beach.

On Saturday I get to spend the whole day with Uncle Bob and then on Tuesday I'm going to meet a friend of Mommy and Aunt Molly's and have a play date with her and her kids. I am going to be one worn out puppy when Mommy comes home. I'm soooo excited!!!

Instructions for Aunt Molly

2011-12-09T21:19:00.000-08:00

Dear Aunt Molly,
I can't wait to come live with you for a few days! Mommy said I should write to you and remind you what I like and tell you all about my routines. I've been a little bit of a punk at home so Mommy hopes I'm good for you and Uncle Bob.

*Please feed me a little scoop of dry food in the morning and a scoop of dry food mixed with wet food at night. (Feel free to have Uncle Bob drop food on the kitchen floor while cooking. :-) )
*When I come inside from going potty I get a little treat. You can also tell me "door" and I'll close the door behind us ;-)
* Mommy will bring my kennel and you can put me in there whenever you need to. I haven't been in there for a while so I might whine but just ignore me.

If I think of anything else I'll be sure to write you again.
Love,
Rosco

I'm exhausted!!!

2011-11-28T20:24:00.000-08:00

Holy doggy bones!!! Mommy took me snowshoeing today AND night sledding! I don't see very well at night so I was really confused at first. There were people going down a big hill on plastic and I wasn't sure if they wanted me to chase them or if I needed to run away from them. A few of them almost ran me over and I had to run my fastest to stay out of their way. After I got used to it I had a lot of fun but boy am I tired!!!!

snowshoeing adventure!

2011-11-26T17:49:00.000-08:00

Today mommy and aunty Stephie took me out snowshoeing. I'd been cooped up indoors all weekend so I was happy to get outside!!! It was my first time at Montana Creek Trail and I liked it way better than Salmon Creek Dam (that's where we went snowshoeing last time). Mommy says this winter is looking like a good winter for snow. I hope she takes me out a lot during Christmas break!!! I love snowshoeing!

Good news and bad news

2011-10-01T13:04:00.000-07:00

The good news!
~I got my stitches removed!!!
The bad news....
~My growth is cancerous
The good news!
~It's not the type of cancer that spreads!
The bad news...
~It'll probably grow back in about a year and I'll have to get it removed again.
The good news!
~For now I'm a healthy pup who no longer has to wear his cone!

Healing quite nicely!

2011-09-25T21:19:00.000-07:00

It's been about a week since I had my surgery and I have to say....I'm healing quite nicely! I've had to wear my cone around A LOT but today mommy took it off and I left my stitches alone! It was so nice to have that thing off my neck! I've been laying pretty low lately but today I had a ton of energy so mommy and daddy took me for a long drive, a sunny walk and then mommy chased me at the field while daddy worked in his classroom.

Mommy told me yesterday that she messed up on the dates and it's actually THURSDAY that I get my stitches out! I'm so excited to be done with this cone forever!!! Thanks for all the concern from my human and doggy friends!

My first surgery

2011-09-16T21:09:00.000-07:00

I've had a growth on my leg for a few months and it just keeps getting bigger. It wasn't hurting but Mommy and Daddy were worried about it and my skin was starting to look red and stretched. Mommy scheduled my surgery and on Thursday morning they took me to the vet. I was pretty whiney when I went there but the doctors took really good care of me.
My vet was nice and he called mommy during my surgery to tell her that I was doing well but they'd found another lump in my tummy. He removed both lumps, cleaned my teeth and trimmed my nails. When I woke up he gave me lots of pets and a little treat to eat. Mommy came to pick me up and listened to the vet tell her about my surgery. He said the lump on my leg looked weird and he wanted to have it checked to make sure it wasn't cancerous. Mommy and daddy will get the results soon.

Mommy and Daddy laugh everytime they look at me and my cone. They say I look ridiculous and they find it hilarious whenever I bump into thing. They told me they'd take off this stupid cone if I promised not to chew my leg. It's so nice having this thing off! I havent been chewing my leg but when they go to work they put this darn cone back on. I can't wait to get these stitches out....two weeks to go....the countdown is on.

I'm glad you find me amusing.....

2011-08-11T11:27:00.000-07:00

I've been licking my paw a lot lately. I don't know why...it just itches so I lick it. BUT, I've licked it so much there's some skin coming off and now mommy's all worried about me. When mommy starts to worry about me daddy always does something to fix me so that she feels better. His latest solution to my paw problem was to tie a piece of rag around my paw and tape it up.
This solved the problem but it makes me walk funny. Mommy and daddy thought my walk was HILARIOUS and they laughed soooo hard. In fact, I can't remember the last time I heard mommy laugh for so long. Aunt Molly came over and mommy made me walk over to her just so the two of them could giggle about my funny walk. I'm glad they all find this so amusing but all I want to do is lick my paw. Sometimes these humans drive me CRAZY!!!! Woof Woof!

I miss Aunt Molly

2011-07-12T23:40:00.000-07:00

So, I've been a real slacker about blogging. It seems I've gotten lazy lately but am determined to turn over a new leaf. I'm going to take more pictures, spend more time blogging and EXERCISE!!!!

Daddy took me to the vet on Friday (I'm ok, just a little fatty growth thing on my leg that will eventually have to be removed but all is good right now) and the Vet said I was FAT!!! Now, there was a time when Mommy and Daddy would've gotten mad and defended me by reminding the Vet that I am part BEAGLE!!! But, I have put on a few extra and Mommy and Daddy are always getting after Grandpa about giving me treats (oooooh, I LOOOOOVE grandpa!!!)

I've been put on a pretty strict diet and mommy and daddy have been giving me a walk almost every night. I have to stay on my leash because Mommy read somewhere that I get more of a workout that way.

I wish Aunt Molly was in town so she could take me down to Sandy Beach where I could run free and sniff all the other dogs! Hurry home Aunt Molly!

An afternoon at the beach

2011-06-07T22:11:00.000-07:00

Today my Aunt Molly stopped by to take me to the beach. She finally had some time to spend with me, boy that other "Dog" sure does keep her busy. First she took me to her house and while she ate lunch I found a few treats for me under her coach. Then we walked to Sandy Beach. There were lots of dogs with their people. I got a little whiney because I wanted to play with all of them.

I did get to a little, but boy do those big dogs like to sniff me and sometimes it freaks me out and Aunt Molly too! So Aunt Molly and I laid in the sand, I did a little digging and we just enjoyed the view.

Afterwards she took me home and I bolted out of the truck and started sniffin' like a crazy dog. I had fun at the beach, but it sure is nice to be back home with my Grandpa Terry.

PS Daddy, win us some money so you can buy me lots of doggy treats! I am all out!!!

Door

2011-05-24T21:07:00.000-07:00

I learned a new trick!!! Mommy and Daddy have been teaching me how to close the door. Their hope is that after I go potty I'll be able to close the door behind me. It took me a little while to figure it out but I'm starting to get it. Tonight I went potty and closed the door all by myself while mommy and daddy were sitting on the couch. I got a really big treat afterwards and soooo many loves. It's so fun to learn new tricks!
I also got to see aunt Molly tonight. That was pretty fun, I love seing aunt Molly ;-)

M.I.A.

2011-02-12T12:09:00.000-08:00

Wow, I haven't written since CHRISTMAS?????!!!!!! A big apology to all my loyal readers (hahaha, all two of you!). Let me tell you what's been going on in my life since Christmas time....
*EATING!! MMMM, I love food and grandpa knows it! He gives me little treats all day long and I love love love them!
*Sleeping. I sleep a lot during the day. I finally have someone to put my sleepy spells on during the day while mommy & daddy are at work.
*Playing...I've been playing with Chicken-bird a lot. I ripped open my latest Chicken-bird so mommy had to do surgery on him. Thank goodness for ducktape!

hmmmm, that's about it! This dog's life is pretty sweet right now!

I love this thing called Christmas!

2010-12-27T14:50:00.000-08:00

Whatever this Christmas thing is that humans celebrate I sure do love it! On Christmas Eve my Aunt Molly came over and gave me a present. It was a PIG SNOUT and boy was it delicious! It tasted so crispy and delicious I couldn't help but wolf it right down! I feel bad because I know she wanted to pet and love on me but all I could think about was eating that snout! Ahhh, thank you Molly!

Later that night my family opened their presents and I opened mine. Mommy & Daddy bought me a new Chicken Bird because I've destroyed my other ones. Chicken Bird is the best toy ever invented! I love it!

Later that night mommy took me for a walk at Twin Lakes. I hadn't been out for awhile so it was fun to run and play. There wasn't anyone else on the trail so mommy let me off my leash and I ran so fast in the snow!!!

I also got lots of yummy treats to eat...Baby Chance sent me a big ol' bag of yummie chummies but mommy won't let me open them until I finish my jerkey treats. I really do love this Christmas thing!

This is the life

2010-12-20T18:22:00.000-08:00

After the crazy month my mommy and daddy have had it was really nice to just snuggle on the couch with daddy. Today is only Day One of their vacation so I'm hoping for lots more snuggle time soon.

thank goodness for my nanny

2010-12-11T11:02:00.000-08:00

My parents have been MIA this week. They leave early in the morning and don't come home until late at night. Thank goodness someone is there to feed me dinner at night (although, he forgets to give me wet food and all I get is the dry stuff!!!) and let me out to go potty. They promise that this week will be much better and after this week they'll be home ALL day with me for the next two weeks! I can't wait for that! Mommy promises lots of walks and maybe even a snowshoeing adventure. That will be GREAT! Until then I'm just lucky I have a nanny to watch me. Maybe my Aunt Molly will be able to go for a walk or hike with me too??? What do you think Aunt Molly???

Grammy & Grampy...

2010-11-24T20:42:00.000-08:00

....Are coming TOMORROW!!! Yippeee!!! Mommy promises that I can go to the airport with her to pick them up! I can't wait...they're always so impressed with my tricks and grammy loves to rub my ears. Yay for visitors!

Such a spoiled dog...

2010-10-10T20:40:00.000-07:00

Yes, I'm spoiled...I know....and I'm ok with it, thanks.

Sorry I haven't written...

2010-10-03T20:58:00.000-07:00

Mommy & Daddy have been having fun playing with me. They think it's cute to tie things around my head and make me look like a girl. It's not very nice and I don't like it at all! BUT, they have started playing a new game with me called "fishing for Roscos." They've made a little fishing pole and tied a toy mouse to the end of the string. They throw it out and watch me chase after it. As soon as I catch it they yell, "Rosco on! Rosco on!". I play this game until they're worried that my heart might explode and they make me stop.

Mommy & Daddy have also been talking about getting me a sister. They've been looking at Jack Russel/Beagles on the internet and daddy found one that he thinks would be perfect for our family. Her name is Diana and she has lots of energy and loves to run! We can't get her until we sell our condo so I hope we hurry up and find a buyer for this place!!!

We just know....

2010-09-11T09:18:00.000-07:00

Call it our psychic powers, animal intuition or any other name you can think of. When you're hurting, we know. We can feel your sadness eminating through your usually happy soul. We don't always understand why you're in pain but we recognize the feeling and will do our best to comfort you. My chicken bird always makes me feel better and this is what I offer you. Pet me....talk to me.....play with me....I promise that you'll feel better. XOXO

I'm soooo hungry!!!

2010-09-07T19:53:00.000-07:00

I'm starving but my parents won't feed me!!! I went to the vet today because I've had a hard time pooping and he told my daddy that I had a blockage in my tummy. He said not to feed me for 24 hours (TWENTY FOUR HOURS WITHOUT FOOD???!!!!!!!!!) gave me a bunch of pills and lubricant and told me I'd live.

I'm so hungry..all I can think about is my yummy beef stew canned food and chicken flavored potty treats. ooooh please feed me!

sometimes I play too rough....

2010-08-30T20:09:00.000-07:00

what the heck??

2010-08-18T19:37:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what's going on.... our house is a mess. Mommy and Daddy tell me that they're "remodeling" the bathrooms and now daddy is fixing our couch. All I know is that there is no room to chase my duck in this place! I feel like mommy and daddy are planning on going somewhere but they swear they're not.

My neighbor Kelsey came over today and said she thought I was looking a little chunkier. I probably have put on a little weight since our vacation. There were so many great beaches and fields where I could run all day! I've been getting walked everyday but it's just not the same.... Maybe someday we'll have a big ol' yard and I can run all day!

I sure do miss life on the road =(

I love Cheez-It's

2010-07-31T10:48:00.000-07:00

Just thought you should know......

My favorites...

2010-07-27T23:25:00.000-07:00

I finally discovered the reason humans like vacations so much. They're fun and you get to do so many new and adventurous things while you're gone. Here are a few of the fun things I did on the trip....

Ate lunch on the beach...
Took turns sleeping with the family....

had my own bed in a few hotels...

Sat on Grampy's lap...he has a good lap for doggies...

Slept in my tent....

Shopped for toys with mommy & daddy. I can't believe I got to go INSIDE a store!

and played with the toy duck daddy carved for me.

What a great great trip. I can't wait to go on our next adventure!

I'm baaaaaaacccckkkkk!

2010-07-24T12:58:00.000-07:00

Holy cow! I had nooooo idea what fun this "road trip" thing could be. It was awesome! It was unbelievable! It was the best thing EVER! I did so many things, met so many people and smelled so many new smells while we were traveling.

I loved driving and looking out the window at all the new sites. Most of the time I'd sit on mommy or daddy's lap but I also had my kennel to sleep in if I needed some space.

It was fun stopping at the beaches along the coast and running! It was kindof weird running in the sand but I got used to it. There were some places that we went to that were WAY too hot for me! Mommy loved it and would lay outside all day but me and daddy hid indoors where there was air conditioning!

I had the best time with my cousins! They chased me around and walked me every day! I think I even lost some weight on this trip!

I'll be posting more pictures and telling you more stories about my adventures but right now I'm off to snuggle with daddy and catch up on my sleep.

Woof Woof!

I LOVE this place!!!

2010-06-20T12:57:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh!!!! Mommy and Daddy have been telling me for awhile that I was going to love this road trip thing. They were soooooo right! We're staying at this huge campground where I spend my time running and chasing birds. It is sooooo perfect! I love being free and having all this room to run and play!
Last night grandpa came out and we had a fire. He has the best lap ever! Mommy and Daddy also took me to a store and I was allowed to go inside. They bought me some new toys and a new leash and collar (Mommy told me that it'll match Uncle Josh's wedding colors but she said not to tell Daddy otherwise he'll think it's girly).

This is definitely the best trip ever!!!

FIRE!!!

2010-06-11T09:54:00.000-07:00

I love summer! Mommy and Daddy stay home with me all day and we play, play, play!!! A couple nights ago Mommy and Daddy took me out to the beach for a bonfire. I got to sniff around the beach, play frisbee with my friend Noah and love on Aunt Molly.
We've also been taking lots of walks this summer. It seems like Mommy drags me down to Twin Lakes at least once a day. Sometimes she ties me up at the park so Erin's boys can play. I just hang out and watch the people walk by. Mommy says she's really proud of me for being such a good pup while I wait. I'm tempted to chew through my leash and go play with them but I know that would make her mad.
Mommy keeps telling me that we're leaving on something called a Road Trip soon. I'm not sure what it is but she tells me that we'll be driving and visiting lots of people. I think that I will like it because I LOVE driving and LOVE people!

I'm soooo hot!

2010-05-29T00:11:00.000-07:00

It has been hot, hot, hot here!!! I love all the sunshine but it makes for one hot puppy! This week I had so much fun with my parents! They took me out for long walks and drives every night. Mommy even took me to play with my Logie friend (on a school night!!!).

I'm not sure how I'm going to survive on this little road trip my parents are planning to take me on. I made daddy carry me during our walk today while I huffed and puffed because it was just too darn hot!

the battle

2010-05-23T18:19:00.000-07:00

Daddy and I have been battling over his leather chair. I just noticed how cool and comfortable this chair is! Now that I know how great Daddy's chair is I refuse leave it alone. Every time he gets up I race over and jump in it. I think he's starting to get a little annoyed but I WILL NOT give up!!! (plus, I'm way too cute to hate)

kitty photoshoot

2010-05-06T20:30:00.000-07:00

Dude will be going home soon. Her mommy & daddy are back in Ketchikan. They have a few things to finish up before Dude goes home and they all head out to Whale Pass. Tonight we had a little photoshoot. Enjoy!

what's wrong with my Linus friend??

2010-05-06T09:09:00.000-07:00

Linus came home LATE Monday night and slept in my kennel all day. When Daddy came home from work on Tuesday he noticed that Linus was having a hard time walking and couldn't jump up to get his food. He was worried but didn't know what to do. He told me "we need mommy...she always knows how to take care of us." So, when mommy came home from her jewelry making class she checked on Linus and then called the vet.

Mommy & Daddy rushed Linus to the vet and I was very confused. What was wrong with him? Was my friend going to come back home? Linus NEVER goes to the vet! I hoped everything was ok.

When Mommy & Daddy came back home they told me that Linus had a puncture wound in his paw and that I'd have to be gentle with him for a couple of weeks. They put him in my kennel so he could have some quiet time and fed him dinner. I hope he gets better soon so we can play again!!!

laying low..

2010-04-17T20:57:00.000-07:00

We've all been laying low and hanging out this weekend. Mommy took me on a walk this morning and let me play at the twin lakes park. Usually, I have to be tied up to the fence because dogs aren't allowed in the park. I had so much fun playing with my Noah friend and looking for food at the park. I hope we can do it again soon!

I can't wait for summer!

2010-04-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Daddy have been talking a lot about summer break and all the adventures we'll go on. They say we'll run around on a lot of beaches, drive and see all the new sights, visit family I haven't met yet and RELAX!!! This weekend I got a little taste of sunshine and beaches so I can't WAIT till summer!!!

going on an adventure!

2010-04-02T21:33:00.000-07:00

Mommy just told me that I'll be going on a trip this summer! Last summer they left me here with Aunt Molly while they went to Australia. I had the best time with Aunt Molly but sure did miss my parents.
Mommy says were going to go on the ferry then drive down south. She says there are lots of cool things to see and lots of new things to SMELL!!!! Daddy says that he can't wait until I see my first cow. (What in the world is a cow???!!!!)
I also get to see my little cousin Chance again because his mommy & daddy are getting married! Mommy says that I can probably go to the wedding because it's an outdoor wedding. I'll just have to sit with grammy and grampy and NO barking!
OOOOOOHHHHH, I can't wait to be a traveling dog!

hurry daddy hurry!

2010-03-28T19:52:00.000-07:00

we're just waiting for daddy to come home. he's been gone all week and we miss him!

my spot

2010-03-24T22:54:00.000-07:00

my sweet mommy has been doing a lot of spring cleaning lately. She's made our little house look all nice and spotless. She rearranged some furniture and made me this bed fit for a king. It's the most comfortable spot in the world...I love it.

Linus makes himself at home anywhere.

where is everyone?

2010-03-22T22:56:00.000-07:00

What the heck is going on?? Where's mommy? Where's daddy? Mommy keeps telling me about some crap fair (or is it craft fair?? who knows..) and daddy went to some place called Reno. It sure is quiet around here.

I've been spending a lot of time with my Walter-friend. His mommy & daddy went to California. Walter says he hates it when they leave. He doesn't eat much or drink much when his parents leave so mommy says I need to play with him and cheer him up a little.

The adventures of Chicken Bird

2010-03-18T22:24:00.000-07:00

I'm still loving my chicken toy. Yesterday mommy took me outside to throw Chicken Bird in the parking lot! She threw it...I grabbed it and sped off into the woods. I was so excited to have Chicken Bird in my mouth but then I smelled something good and dropped my new toy. I spent some time sniffing all the yummy smells until mommy yelled at me to come back home.
After all those yummy smells I couldn't find Chicken Bird again. We went back inside and mommy told daddy that it was a dumb idea to take Chicken Bird outside. They told me that Chicken Bird was lost forever because I didn't take care of him. However, today when they came home from work daddy had Chicken Bird in his hand!!!
I was sooo excited!!!! Mommy told me that daddy climbed through the woods to get Chicken Bird back for me. I love my parents and I love love love Chicken Bird!!!

I'll kill this bird!

2010-03-15T20:26:00.000-07:00

I went shopping with daddy tonight and he bought me the best toy ever. I know I've praised a few toys here on my blog but this is seriously the ULTIMATE! It's a flying bird with a hidden sling shot. Daddy flings it and it makes noises like a rooster. I can't put it down. I've been gnawing on it all night. I even bark when daddy tries to take it away. This bird is mine! How long until I destroy it?? Any guesses?

She's such a girl

2010-03-13T10:24:00.000-08:00

Lately, Dude has been watching mommy put on her makeup in the mornings. She'll hop up on the sink and look at mommy in the mirror while she gets ready for work. Sometimes I forget Dude is a girl (because of how she likes to play rough and kill birds) but then she does something like this and I remember that she's just a girly girl. Maybe mommy can get a picture of it tomorrow morning.

Monday night is TACO night!

2010-03-04T20:44:00.000-08:00

Monday night is taco night in this house! I love taco night because sometimes mommy will give me a little turkey meat before she puts in the taco seasoning. I always wait by the fridge incase she accidentally drops something. Well, tonight my waiting paid off! She dropped a whole can of olives and I was quick to the rescue. We don't use vacuums here, I take care of all the spilled messes.

I'll leave you with some pictures of my Dude friend. She was being all loveable today so daddy tried petting her.

She was sweet and lovey for a moment...then turned into.......KILLER ATTACK CAT!!!!

Don't mess with the Dude-ster!!!

New frisbee!

2010-02-19T21:36:00.000-08:00

Here's the toy I've been loving lately. It's the lid from a sour cream container but daddy thought it'd make a great frisbee for me! He was right, it's light and I LOVE to chase after it! Happy Friday! Hope you have your own favorite toy to play with this weekend!

Just hangin' out...

2010-02-17T22:31:00.000-08:00

We've been laying low and hanging out lately. Mommy & daddy have been gone a lot so we just sleep, relax and snuggle in our warm and cozy home. Mommy got a new sweatshirt for her birthday and I love it as much as she does. I love it because it's snuggly.......she loves the thumbholes....

it's been awhile

2010-02-15T12:08:00.000-08:00

This dog's life has been pretty lame over the last week and there hasn't been much to blog about. Aunt Molly was busy with meetings and left town for a wedding so we did very little walking. Mommy tried to take me for walks but we both agree that it's pretty boring when there's no one to talk to.

This weekend was pretty fun. I went for a walk with my Carriker friends and met some other dogs and a little boy who liked petting me. I sniffed his nose and he giggled a lot.

On Sunday I went for a drive and out to the ball field to run around. It was really windy out there so I went crazy with all the new smells.

I was told that today is something called "President's Day". Lots of people get to stay home from work and snuggle with their dogs but not MY parents...they have to work. So here I am...alone on President's Day...Booooo! I think I'll go chase the cats! Ruff Ruff!!

my mom is crazy

2010-02-02T19:53:00.000-08:00

My mother is crazy! I know this...Daddy knows this...but I'm not sure that mommy has figured it out yet! Today she came home and was so excited to see me. She gave me lots of loves and then she and daddy took me out for a little drive. The drive was fun and I liked listening to them sing in the car.

However, when we got to our walking spot mommy made me sit next to this dog picture and she took lots of pictures of me. She kept saying how "stinkin' cute" I was...Get a life mom!!! BUT, after looking at the pictures I've gotta say...she's right, I am cute!

I know...I know...

2010-01-28T20:27:00.000-08:00

I did something bad today....I got into the recycling bag and found an empty mayonnaise jar. I licked and chewed it and LOVED every second of it!!! I knew I'd be in trouble so I kenneled myself up afterwards and waited for mommy and daddy to come home. Luckily they just laughed at me and told me I was a silly dog.

it's a good day to be lazy

2010-01-16T12:28:00.000-08:00

YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!This weather is GROSS!

We're hiding out inside today. Mommy says it's a good day to snuggle and be lazy. Even Dude found a comfy spot on Mommy's legs and is relaxing. Boo to this icky wind and rain!

Rain Rain Go Away...

2010-01-10T11:23:00.000-08:00

That's all it's been doing here lately. I'm sick of the rain. Mommy and I don't feel like walking in the rain so we've spent the weekend relaxing inside. Mommy says that tomorrow I HAVE to go for a walk with her and Molly....rain or shine. I'm hoping for a little snow to run and play in. Maybe I'll do the snow dance today.

A little of this...a little of that...

2010-01-03T20:27:00.000-08:00

Today Dude tried to ship herself back to her parents. She loves it here but sometimes life of being an only-child again sounds so sweet. Sorry Dude, you're stuck with me for a few more months! Bawahahahahhahah!

Mommy & Daddy dressed me up with his Buff. The buff is a must-even for dogs. Right Molly?

;-)

Mommy and Daddy harrassed me.....

...and Linus slept...

....It was a great day

New Year's Fun!

2010-01-01T13:10:00.000-08:00

What a GREAT night! Mommy told me that we'd be having a party to celebrate the new year so Dude and I helped her decorate. We hung up silver and gold streamers and had party hats and kazoozes for people! There was lots of food and Logan and Noah shared some crackers with me. Kathleen had some pretty good food and I tried to impress her with my tricks but she wouldn't share. She did give me lots of loves and pets though.

Mommy said I should write down some of the fun things I did this year so here it goes....

1. Went on LOTS of walks!

2. Stayed with Aunt Molly for THREE weeks all by myself!

3. Made lots of new dog friends!

4. Snuggled a lot with mommy & daddy.

5. Went to Anchorage to see my cousin Chance.

6. Learned some new tricks

My year has been fantastic. I think 2010 is going to be great too!

Merry Christmas!

2009-12-27T21:47:00.000-08:00

I know, I'm a little late in posting my "Merry Christmas" post but I guess it's better late than never. Right??

My Christmas was fantastic! Mommy and Daddy opened some presents in the morning then took me out for a little drive. We went out looking at Christmas lights and the train was by far, my favorite.

Mommy and Daddy got these crazy sticky mustache's from the Rossings and mommy thought it'd be a GREAT idea to take our holiday picture with them. She's crazy!!! But, daddy and I go along with her insane ideas just to keep her happy. I won't bother posting the picture. She posted it on her blog if you haven't seen it already.

Mommy got really sick the day after Christmas. I spent the whole day snuggling with her and keeping her company. Everybody else was pretty lazy too =)

I love winter break!

2009-12-23T23:37:00.000-08:00

Wow, we've had so many adventures while mommy & daddy have been home! It's been fun hanging out with them this last week. I can't believe I have another week with them here at home all day! YES!

Over break I've learned a new trick. It's called the popcorn trick. Daddy taught me how to hold a piece of popcorn on my nose and then flip it in the air and eat it. My parents are pretty impressed that I can wait so long without eating the popcorn.

Today Dude had to go to the vet for her shots. I was worried that my parents were sending her home. Thank goodness they weren't! We're just starting to be friends! Next week I get to go to the Vet with Dude so I can get my shots. What an adventure that will be!

Tonight was boy's night. My friend Paul came over and played with me for a bit. We ordered pizza and I got to clean out the box. YUMMY!

P.S. Grampy~Dude's doing well. She's been sleeping most of the day but is eating and drinking just fine. Doesn't seem to be sick at all. Mommy & Daddy keep talking about how well she did at the Vet's today. Apparently, they're pretty impressed at how mellow she was with the doctor and how snuggly she was with them after her shots. She's not so bad for a cat...dogs are still way cooler, though.

Play time!

2009-12-20T14:17:00.000-08:00

Mommy & Daddy came home on Friday and told me that it's the start of their winter break! That means they'll be home for the next two weeks and we'll have lots of time to snuggle & play together!

Here are some fun things I did on day 1 of break.....

Snuggled on the couch with daddy this morning......

Played with Dude...I'm getting used to her hisses...her bark is worse than her bite...

Took a drive with the parents....

Played at Sandy beach and met a few new dog friends.

I sure do like this winter break thing...I wonder what we'll do for the next two weeks???!!!!

What are you doing you crazy cat??

2009-12-13T17:04:00.000-08:00

Lately Dude has been pretty mellow. We all seem to be getting along well and I think she's starting to feel more comfortable here with us. She really seems to like hanging out with mommy while she's making jewelry.
Today mommy was getting something out of the closet and Dude crawled in there and was looking at all of mommy's craft supplies. I had no idea this cat was so crafty!

I think she likes me ;-)

2009-12-10T22:19:00.000-08:00

Look what Dude brought me! A bird, A bird!!! My parents said that they didn't even think there were any birds left for her to catch but she managed to find one. She brought it home (I'm sure it was to give to me!!) but daddy caught her before she made it inside and he threw the bird in the woods.

Here's a picture of Dude's new favorite spot - daddy's paper-grading bucket.

The best Saturday EVER!

2009-12-06T19:01:00.000-08:00

This Saturday was so wonderful! I snuggled in bed with Mommy & Daddy for a while and then we drove out to St. Therese for a walk. There were a ton of good smells out there and I ran, jumped and explored like crazy!

My parents went to Western Auto for some stuff and came out with a new toy for me! They bought me a duck that is supposed to be indestructable. I LOVE ducks and manage to destroy all of them that they buy me. This one is pretty tough though. So far I've only been able to chew threw the wings.

Also, Dude let me sniff her without hissing at me! What a great Saturday!

Looks like they're getting along just fine...

2009-12-01T21:23:00.000-08:00

Hmmm, Dude and I still aren't best friends but she seems to be getting along well with Linus. I want a new dog so that I can have a friend too!

Dear Santa,
I've been really good this year and would like it if you'd bring me a dog to play with. You see, my friend Linus just got a new cat and they're getting along great. However, I feel pretty left out these days. If you could please bring me a new dog friend I'd appreciate it. And I promise to be good next year too!
Love,
Rosco

He didn't do it right..

2009-11-30T12:48:00.000-08:00

Clint took really good care of me while Mommy & Daddy were gone. However, they came home last night and I didn't even know they were coming. You see, when Molly watches me she tells me that they're coming and she takes me to the airport with her. I LOVE going to the airport when we're there to pick people up and Molly knows that. Clint did a good job but it wasn't the same as Molly.

Dear Mommy & Daddy...

2009-11-27T20:43:00.000-08:00

I miss you guys a lot. When are you coming home? Clint takes good care of me. He gives me food just like you showed him how, takes me potty just like you do and gives me lots of loves. HOWEVER, it's not the same as when you're here.
Mommy, I miss curling up next to your tummy at night. Daddy, I miss licking your back. Please come home soon......
Love,
Rosco
P.S.
Dude & Linus miss you too...

Dude sightings...

2009-11-24T21:24:00.000-08:00

Dude's been coming out a lot more often these days. She likes to crawl on top of the fridge and watch mommy cook. The door to the guest bedroom was shut tonight and she started jumping on the handle to get out...funny how just a few days ago she didn't want to leave that room. She's finally stopped hissing at me and now just ignores me. Grampy, check out mommy's blog for her Linus posting.

I think mommy and daddy are leaving for a while. My friend, Clint, came over tonight and mommy told him how to take care of me and the cats. I sure am going to miss my parents but Clint will take good care of me. Mommy forgot to tell him when I get treats, though. She'd better fill him in tomorrow-I need my potty treats!

Snowy Sunday

2009-11-22T15:52:00.000-08:00

This week has gone by so fast! I spend all my time sleeping and before I know it it's Sunday again!

Last night we got a new dump of snow in Juneau. Fresh snow is definitely my favorite. As soon as we woke up this morning my Mommy called her friend and we all went for a walk at Twin Lakes. Mommy let me off my leash and so I could run all over the place in the fresh snow!

This is now Dude's 5th day at my house and I still haven't seen much of her. She came out when mommy was cooking shrimp. Mommy gave her a piece and she LOVED it. I love shrimp too and wish mom would make it more often! Dude has finally moved from the guest bedroom window and found a place in daddy's closet. She curls up on his sweatshirts and sleeps there for hours.

WednesdaY

2009-11-18T22:33:00.000-08:00

I pretend like I don't like him but sometimes I can't help but snuggle up with Linus and mommy or daddy.

This is day 1 of Dude's visit and I haven't seen her much at all. Last night she locked herself in mommy & daddy's bedroom and hid in their closet. Today she found a new hiding spot. She likes to hide in the guest bedroom and look out the window. She came out to eat dinner but wouldn't play with me. She won't even talk to me...all I get these days are hisses. I remember when Dude was a kitten and would snuggle and play with me. I miss those days

On the plus side, Linus still loves Dude's kennel. =)

Dude's here..

2009-11-17T21:10:00.000-08:00

This is my friend Dude. She's Grampy & Grammy's cat so I guess that'd make her my Aunt??? She flew in tonight to stay with us for the winter while Grammy & Grampy travel. I was SOO excited to see her! I whined and wagged my nub like crazy! I don't think Dude shared my excitement because when I tried sniffing her she hissed at me and hid under the bench.

Linus seems to like her kennel and has crawled in there for the evening. I think I might try it out later, too. Wonder if I can fit my beagle-belly in there??

Sundays are the best...

2009-11-15T14:50:00.000-08:00

Sundays are starting to have their own routine at our house. We wake up and snuggle while mommy drinks coffee and reads the news online. After that she starts some laundry. I LOVE laundry days because right after the clothes come out of the drier mom throws them on the bed so that I can snuggle in them. There is NOTHING better that burrowing down into clean warm clothes. After that we usually go for an afternoon walk or drive. Today we walked down to Twin Lakes. My mom let me off my leash and I ran in circles as fast as I could. There were so many new smells I couldn't take them all in at once!

Mom usually talks to grammy Pam on Sundays, too. This Sunday I found out that my cat-friend, Dude is coming to visit on Tuesday. She's staying for a few months while grammy & grampy travel for the winter. I wonder if she'll play with me and chase me all over the house.

What a great Sunday...I'm not ready for my parents to go back to work tomorrow. It's so nice having them at home with me.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful!

2009-11-14T16:13:00.000-08:00

I went outside yesterday morning to pee and was suprised by a fresh coat of snow on the ground. I LOVE the snow! My favorite part of winter is chasing snowflakes and jumping in huge snowpiles. I hope my mom will take me snowshoeing as soon as there's enough snow on the ground!
This morning I went outside and it was CRAZY windy and rainy! Mommy had to wake up early to proctor tests at the highschool but as soon as she left the power went out. She came back a few minutes later and told me that testing had to be rescheduled. We crawled back into bed and slept for a few hours. It was so nice to cuddle with mommy and daddy in our big warm bed...ahhh.

One more reason to love Aunt Molly

2009-11-10T18:38:00.000-08:00

She gave me the whole piece of my jerky treat after our walk together last night. Mom and Dad usually break off a small piece for me. I do love my Aunt Molly =)

Playing

2009-11-08T09:39:00.000-08:00

My week has been kindof boring. Usually, Mom tries to take me for walks every night but it's been so rainy and gross out lately that we've skipped a lot of walks. I can usually go a day or two without a good walk but after about three days I start having lots of energy that just needs to get out!!!

Finally, on Thursday I got some play time. My Molly friend came over and walked with me and Mom even though it was windy and rainy. Then, when I came home my Paul friend was here and he played with me too! It was nice to get out some of my crazy energy and have fun! Playing is definitely the best...I think more humans should try it.

Happy Halloween....I guess...

2009-11-01T10:02:00.000-08:00

Mommy and Daddy left me home alone tonight. They got all dressed up and headed out the door. I thought Halloween was supposed to be fun. I thought maybe we'd have friends over and I could beg for food and impress them with my tricks. Mommy told me that they were going to a couple of parties and that dogs weren't allowed.

While they were gone I decided to find my own costume and have a little fun with the camera.

It's Halloween!

2009-10-30T18:45:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Daddy were dumb enough to leave a bag of dum-dums on the bench this morning. I dug and dug, tore and tore, chewed and chewed my way through the bag just so I could enjoy a few suckers. Don't people know that dogs like halloween candy too?

MOLLY!!!!

2009-10-29T23:26:00.000-07:00

I LOVE my aunt Molly. She always gives me lots of loves and attention (and she says she not a dog person...). Molly came over for a few minutes tonight before her and Mommy went to their belly-dancing class. I'm not sure what belly-dancing is but I'm really glad she came over for a little while!

Bath Time!

2009-10-29T23:04:00.000-07:00

Um, I had a little too much fun on my hike with Elsi up Salmon Creek. I managed to find some bear poop that I could roll in. My mommy was so mad when we got to the car. When we got home she told me to go straight to the tub and I could tell she was not in the mood to mess around.

She washed me down pretty good then snuggled with me and told me I was too cute to be mad at.

My new friend, Elsi....

2009-10-29T22:59:00.000-07:00

I have a new friend named Elsi. She is white with brown spots like me but she's much bigger and can run REALLY fast! She likes to put the smack down and try to dominate me. I put up with it for a while but when she starts annoying me I break out the Rosco-growl and put her in her place. I'll ask mommy to take a picture of us together.

It's my BiRtHdAy!

2009-10-27T22:51:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday to me!!!

New Tricks!

2009-10-23T17:01:00.000-07:00

Last night I learned some new tricks! I've been practicing standing on my back legs and I'm doing great! My leg muscles are getting so strong. Mommy & Daddy think that soon I'll be able to stand up straight when I beg for food instead of sitting on my butt!

I'm also learning to dance. Daddy and I danced a little last night and it's so fun! I like spinning and leaping in the air. Aunt Molly, can I go to the next dance at DZ??

I'm hijacking your blog, dog!

2009-10-22T18:47:00.000-07:00

It's always all about you! You're soooo cute, you're sooooo smart, you're soooooo lovable!!! I get tired of hearing mommy & daddy talk about how woooonderful you are. I'm cute too! I'm smart too! I'm lovable TOOO! So, I've hijacked your little blog and have a few things to tell your readers about Linus!!!

1. Mommy fell in love with me as soon as she saw me at the humane society.

2. I drool when I'm happy.

3. I love to sleep!

4. Christmas is my favorite holiday.

Love,

Linus

Friends RoCk!

2009-10-17T10:53:00.001-07:00

I love it when mommy and daddy invite their friends over to our house. Their friends always get so excited about the little tricks that I can do. I do this cute little trick where I sit on my bottom and beg for food. People think it's hilarious and sometimes they'll even give me their people food! Last night when Katrina and Darren were over I got a little bit of people cheesecake and lots and lots of pets and loves. I hope they come back to visit me soon.

Oh, Nick....

2009-10-09T17:49:00.000-07:00

Oh Nick...I think I'm in love...

You must have fallen from heaven above....
We had our time, we had our place...

I want to lick your salty face....

Airport Trail

2009-10-05T17:32:00.000-07:00

Today was Grammy Pam's last day in town. She took me to the Airport Trail and I met so many new dog friends! I stopped and smelled all the new smells and ran really fast!

Mommy kept trying to get me to pose with Grammy Pam for pictures but I was too busy playing. Mommy needs to quit taking so many pictures and learn how to get her paws dirty!

FOOD!

2009-10-05T17:25:00.000-07:00

All I think about is food! I've been trying to get Grammy Pam to give me some people food but she hasn't yet! I've done all my tricks and begged as hard as I could but Mommy keeps telling her "no".

FINALLY, mommy said she could share some of her sausage with me. I LOVE SAUSAGE!

Love...

2009-10-03T10:00:00.000-07:00

They're not sure why I do it....

They just know that I do....

I love giving Daddy licks....

On his face...

On his back....

Pretty much, anywhere....

It's my way of showing him love....

It's my way of showing him I care...

Grammy Pam is here!

2009-10-03T09:49:00.001-07:00

Grammy Pam came to visit us on Wednesday night. I was so excited when we pulled up to the airport and saw her walking towards the car! I started whining and wagging my nub as fast as it would go!

She went to school with Mom & Dad and Thursday and Friday so I was still alone during the day. It wasn't that bad though because when they got home they'd take me for long walks at Twin Lakes.

Grammy has already tried giving lots of food! She wanted to give me a handful of my potty treats...usually I only get one when I come in from going potty, but she didn't think that was enough! Mommy said, "NO, he only gets ONE!." Bummer for me.... THEN, Grammy was going to feed me dinner right after Mom had fed me! I ate my food so quickly Grammy didn't think I'd been fed! Too bad she double checked with Mommy...I could have gotten second-dinzees!

Last night we just hung out and watched a movie. I love snuggling up with Grammy and getting lots of pets from her. I hope she stays for a really long time =)

ToMorRoW!

2009-09-29T17:50:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Grammy Pam comes to visit me tomorrow. Molly, will you come visit me too???

Rainforest Trail

2009-09-27T21:00:00.000-07:00

I love living in Juneau~I get to go on so many hikes and adventures! Tonight Mommy & Daddy took me to North Douglas for a walk. We usually take the short trail to the beach but this time Daddy said we should explore the long way. I got to run all over the place and sniff all the good smells. Mommy played with her camera and took some "ghost dog" pictures of me.

*This is me showing off my speed-demon skills!*

I loved sniffing around on the beach while Mommy and Daddy watched the sunset. I was a little annoyed when I tried to jump over a log to get to Mommy and ended up falling. Sometimes, I think my legs are bigger than they really are.

Grammy Pam??

2009-09-27T18:17:00.000-07:00

I heard my parents talking last night and Mommy said something about Grammy Pam coming to visit. I LOVE visits from Grammy Pam! She snuggles with me, gives me people food and takes me for lots of walks! I wonder when she's coming??

Wrestle Mania

2009-09-22T22:04:00.000-07:00

and the winner is....

ME!!!!!! Take that Linus-cat!

New Toy

2009-09-21T21:57:00.000-07:00

I love my new toy! Grandma Farrel sent us a care-box with presents for everyone! I got the coolest tug-o-war toy! Mommy and I played with it tonight. I growled and tugged as hard as I could. GRRRRR, Grandma picks out the best toys!

Lazy Sundays

2009-09-20T17:15:00.000-07:00

This morning my mommy took me out for a walk. As soon as we started walking it started pouring outside! I tried pulling her back inside but she said we needed to walk even when it's raining. If mommy could understand dog-speak she would've heard a lot of colorful words coming out of my mouth. I was not a very happy camper.

I spent the rest of my Sunday snuggled up on the couch while my friend Linus found a nice spot in daddy's sock drawer. Mommy spent some time snuggling with me while I was sleeping. I love lazy Sundays.

My week has been great!

2009-09-16T22:39:00.000-07:00

Last night I got to see Molly again! It's been a long time since I've seen her. She looked pretty happy to see me and gave me lots of loves. We walked Twin Lakes together and she walks really fast. Mommy kept pulling my leash and told me that I couldn't keep stopping just to sniff. She kept telling me, "either pee or let's go!!".

After our walk Mommy and I went to our friend Erin's house for a visit. My little Noah friend chased me around and wore me out! I thought I had energy! He has WAY more energy than me...he wouldn't stop chasing me! Finally, I hid under the table and tried to take a nap.

My Tuesday was filled with friends and fun!!!

What a great day!

2009-09-14T21:28:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning a few minutes before mom's alarm went off and decided to try casting my sleepy spells on her. I crawl under the blanket and snuggle close to her tummy so she's nice and warm and doesn't want to get out of bed. It worked for a little bit-she kept hitting the snooze button and snuggling with me!

Linus was outside all day today so I had the house to myself. I walked around and sniffed a few things, barked at a few noises and slept the day away.

When mommy and daddy came home they took me for a walk at Twin Lakes then for a drive through town to look at the crazy tourists.

After dinner I thought it was time to sleep but mommy put my leash on and said we were gonna go for another walk with Erin. This walk was a little longer than my first. I met a few dog friends, carried some sticks and ate some bugs.

When we got home Logan and I played together for a little while. He sniffed me, pulled my fur and tried petting me. I sniffed him and licked him a couple of times. He's a pretty neat little person. I wonder if he'd like my kennel???

I'm going nuts here!!!!

2009-09-10T20:30:00.001-07:00

I've been cooped up in this house ALL day! I need to get out! I need to stretch my legs! I need to be FREE!!!!!! Mommy and Daddy came home tonight, let me out to potty, threw some food in my bowl and ran out the door muttering something about an open house at school.
When they finally came back home Mommy took me for a short walk. It was sooo windy outside I felt like I was going to be lifted off the ground any second! There were a lot of leaves flying around and I chased them but never caught any. Maybe this weekend I can go for more walks and play with my parents.

Labor Day Weekend

2009-09-07T18:48:00.000-07:00

I have no idea what it is but my parents keep talking about Labor Day weekend. All I know is that I have been on way too many walks this weekend. Yesterday, my mommy and daddy took me to Dredge Lakes for a walk AFTER I'd already walked with my friends Erin, Noah and Logan.

Then today Daddy dropped us off at Fred Meyers and we walked out to the school to meet him. My little legs could barely keep up with my Mom!

When we finally went home I thought I could sleep the rest of the day. HOWEVER, mommy and daddy got this crazy idea to walk the new Auke Lake trail. It was a really nice trail and I had fun while we were there but I'm EXHAUSTED!!!! When will they stop with all the walks?? Thank goodness they go back to school tomorrow so I can have some peace and quiet!!!

Sunday walks wear me out!

2009-09-06T13:34:00.000-07:00

This morning Mommy and I went for our walk with our friends Erin, Noah and Logan. I really like Noah because he reminds me of my cousin, Chance. He's another little person who smells like food and likes to pet me.
After our walk Noah and I watched Sponge Bob Square Pants on the bean bag while Mommy, Daddy and Erin talked and played with Logan.

Now I know....

2009-09-05T21:45:00.000-07:00

what school is....
It's this place where Mommy & Daddy go during the day. They're gone for a really long time. I just sit at home and sleep all day. Sometimes, I chase Linus but most of the time I just lay around and sleep.
Mommy and Daddy come home around 3ish and we all go out for a walk. That's definitely the best part of my day. After our walk we go home and I snuggle on the couch with Mommy. I wish they could be home all day instead of going to that school place.

Helping Daddy bake

Daddy loves to make pizza dough and I love to help! Last week he spilled some flour on the floor and I decided that I would help him clean it up instead of having that loud purple vacuum thing do it.

The rest of the summer...

We've been having so much fun this summer that I haven't had time to blog lately. We came back from Anchorage and Mommy and Daddy have been taking me on so many adventures! We go for walks downtown, fishing on the beach, hikes in the woods and driving through town. Mommy and Daddy keep talking about this thing called school that they have to go back to. I have no idea what they're talking about. Crazy parents!

This little person is so much fun to be around! We both roll around on the floor, eat off the floor and play in the kennel! I wonder if we can take him home with us!

Yesterday, we left for this place called Anchorage. We went BACK to the AIRPORT!!!! How many times do these people have to visit the airport for crying out loud?
This time they told me that I could go with them. We got to the aiport with my kennel and chew toy but the man behind the counter told Mommy she would have to buy a new kennel because mine was the collapsable kind. Mommy wasn't very happy but she bought me a kennel and they loaded me onto the plane.
It was pretty scarey riding on the plane. I had to go below and ride with the luggage. The bag handlers were pretty cool. They tried petting me through the kennel and looked at the toy duck I was chewing on.
When we got to the airport Uncle Josh was there to pick us up. I got to ride in the car and we went to a park where I could run and play. There's this little person who smells like food here in Anchorage. Mommy says he's my cousin Chance. I really like following him around when he has food!
