Buddy taught me the coolest game

Buddy taught me the coolest game! We run around and chase each other, and then when we decide to stop playing tag we get really close and pretend to chew on each other. It's great! We get to run, and growl, and bat at each other, and we can do it anywhere! We play inside the house - like in the living room, or on Daddy, or going up the stairs, or when Mommy and Daddy are trying to sleep. Or else we play outside at the dog park - but we only play when no one else is around watching. We kinda like to keep our playing secret. 

Hey Riley! That's perfect! That's exactly what I'll do! (kiss) You're the best brother ever.

Well Buddy, if you want to learn how to get everyone to fall in love with you, first you need to (whisper whisper whisper)

OK a few more moments with Piggy

Shhh! It's nap time for Piggy and me. Ahhh! a nice patch of sun, my Piggy, and a comfortable spot... life is GREAT!!! 

And there have been some down times

There is nothing better than a few quiet zzz's with my Piggy. (sigh)

We've had some really great times

We took a really long walk at the dog park, and then after we went for ice cream. OMG I love ice cream!!! I would do anything for it - I would even give away Buddy for ice cream. When I get my tongue on some ice cream I don't even come up for air until it is all gone. Mmmmm...ice cream... Mom? Could we go to Dairy Queen again? Pleeeeeeeeze??!!!!

Sorry I haven't written in a while

Hi everyone! I've been really busy the last few months taking care of Mommy (I'm curled up by Mommy's tummy) and helping Buddy feel safe and loved. But I think things are better again so I can share my life with you. 

Wishing everyone a happy new year

Hi everyone! Buddy and I want to wish everyone a happy new year. We hope your days will be like ours - full of good food, great company, and belly laughs. 

I don't know Buddy, I think I'm starting to get tired

Buddy's bugging me that he wants us to keep chasing each other in circles, but I'm kinda getting sick of it at the moment. 

At the off-leash park

Geez do I LOVE having a brother!!! Mommy took us to the dog park yesterday, and she let us both off the leash!! WOW did we have fun!!! We got to sniff all sorts of different types and sizes of dogs, stomp through dry grass, chase each other, meet some kids, and although Mommy brought the Flying Squirrel frisbee neither of us felt like bringing it back to her. We'd chase it, but Mommy seemed to like getting it herself... I don't understand Mommy sometimes...she seems to like to make things more difficult than they need to be sometimes. 

Teaching Buddy how to lounge in the sun

I don't know about my little brother...he sure gets cold easy. At least Mommy figures out ways to keep Buddy warm so we can still catch some rays. 

Cheeeeese!

Which way do you want us to look? Sorry Mommy, but I'm too distracted with all these toys to play with and bones to chew on... 

Hey Riley!! Look I have a treat!!! Wanna chase me?

Riiiiii-leeeeeey! Look! I have a treat! Do you want to play chase? 

Hey Buddy!! Look!!! I have a treat - do you want to play chase??!!!

Pssst Buddy! Look what I have - a treat!!! Come on, chase me!!! 

Christmas!

Yaaa! I had the best Christmas!! I was so spoilt! Auntie Erin sent Buddy and I really cool toys that we immediately played with, and some yummy treats. Uncle Ken and Auntie Tianna gave us some Chewables. Santa brought us some really wicked toys, and Mommy and Daddy gave us a Rollover-stuffed bone each. They also got us each a Team Canada jersey. Mine is red, and Buddy's white. Daddy says something called the Olympics are next year, and he wants us ready to cheer for Canada. I don't know what he means, but if it means we get to cuddle on the couch together I'm all for it. Mommy says she'll get a picture of us in the shirts up later this week. She needs to take in the sides on Buddy's, and shorten the sleeves on both first. Hang on, she's whispering that she might be lazy and take a picture of us before she does any alterations... Silly Mom.

I worry about my little brother. He's still so unsure and jittery about everything... But I love him. When he's calm and sweet I like to come over and give him kisses, and I taught him how to play chase a couple of days ago. He's a lot of fun and full of energy, and with each day that passes he becomes more part of our family.

I HAVE A BROTHER!!!!!

I HAVE A BROTHER!!!! His name is Buddy and he's three weeks younger than me. He's been kinda shy, and hasn't played chase with me yet, but I'm working on it. I'm so excited! Now I have someone to share treats with (like a Greenie), play tag with, and walk and run with!!! Yaaaaaa!!!!

Pssst! Ducky! Are you ready to play?

At least when Daddy gets home I get to have some play time. Here I'm busy chomping on my duck. Grrrrrr!!!

Poor Mommy. She's been so sick the last month, and so I've had to take care of her. Every day before Daddy goes to work he reminds me to take care of Mom. I take Daddy's request very seriously - I make sure she has a nap at least once a day, I help her eat her soda crackers (because she can't finish them), and I try to make her laugh by jumping off the couch with her and chase my tail. Thank goodness she's so easy to make laugh!
