Wonderful Summer

I have been enjoying my summer. It has been so nice to have mommy home almost every day. We have gone on several walks in the park, spent a week at camp while mommy and daddy went on a cruise, chased chipmunks, lots and lots of chipmunks, and done a lot of snuggling on the couch with mommy and daddy. I posted some pictures of mommy and daddy on their cruise and of me being myself on the couch. As mommy types this for me, I'm sleeping in her lap. Mommy goes back to work on August 6th so it's back to my old routine. I love my life!!!

Pollen, Pollen Everywhere!!!

I'm not a big fan of spring, for one reason, and one reason alone. I'm allergic to POLLEN. Whenever I go outside, I come back in sneezing and wheezing. It is terrible. Then Mommy and Daddy have to give me Benadryl and it makes me so sleepy. I think they are going to have to try something new though because I can't seem to take enough Benadryl. I hope it rains tomorrow so all of this Pollen will go away. I'm not a big fan of rain because when I come in Mommy and Daddy attack me with a towel. something about not wanting muddy, wet feet on the hardwoods and the furniture. Anyway, maybe the pollen will go away soon and I can spend time outside enjoying this lovely weather.

Love,
Bear

Ho Ho

I have been so busy since Christmas that I have not had time to update my blog, but I am going to try and keep it more current. The picture you see is me and my "ho ho". This is the bestest blanket in the whole wide world. I love to snuggle with it, suck on it, and sleep with it. I get nervous when mommy takes it away to wash it. I just know I will never see it again. Somehow it keeps getting new holes in it. Mommy and daddy are going to Gatlinburg for a wedding, and I am not getting to go, but I will try to update you on my trip to camp while they are gone.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Sorry it has taken me so long to update but mommy and daddy have been keeping me pretty busy. We have gone to visit lots of family. We went to Atmore for Christmas. I got to see Tyler the dog and Cuna. Cuna gave me a goodie bag full of tasty treats and toys. Tyler gave me a gift card to PetSmart. I can't wait for mommy and daddy to take me so I can pick out some new toys. I know they won't let me pick out any thing soft and fuzzy because all I do with those toys it tear holes in them.
Before Christmas, mommy, daddy and I went to a donkey farm. It was a friend of mommy's. Mommy and daddy put on these outfits and I didn't hardly recognize them. Then they took our picture. It was fun but there was a big dog there that wasn't real happy for me to be there. I've included a picture of our adventure to the farm. Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you all have a Happy New Year.

The Big Game

Well, Tyler didn't get to come see me this weekend. His mommy got sick and didn't want to spread her germs to Mommy and Daddy. I'm sad that they didn't come see me but I think Mommy and Daddy are going to take me back to Atmore next weekend. Something about Papa and a birthday. Not sure about what is going on. Anyway, Mommy and Daddy had some friends come over today and we all watched the Alabama and LSU game. It was such a stressful game. I couldn't even watch the end I was so nervous. Bama pulled through in the end and got a HUGE win. After Chris, Brooke, Hillary, and Nanoe left, I sacked out! It was too much stress for me. Maybe tomorrow and next week will be better.

Visitors

I am so excited! Mommy keeps telling me that her mommy is coming to see me this weekend! You know that she is the Mommy to Tyler. Sometimes he and I don't get along, especially when we are inside. He likes to get in my space and I like to get in his. When we are outside though, we love to run and chase each other around the yard. Mommy says that Tyler may not come with her Mommy b/c her Daddy (Pop)isn't coming. Something about deer season. I don't know anything about this deer season thing but Mommy says that she has shown me some that are hanging on the wall in Atmore! Apparently Pop and Uncle Stewart like to go out in the woods and hunt the elusive deer. When they kill a big one, they hang it on the wall at their house. I've smelled the meat cooking and it sure does smell good. Maybe one day, I'll be good enough to get to go hunting with Daddy. I hear that sometimes my cousin Cuna gets to go with Uncle Stewart and Aunt Maya and she is really good. Maybe if I'm good, when I grow up, Daddy will take me.

Pomp and Circumstance

Here is my graduation picture that David took of Daddy, Me, and Mommy. See my diploma!!! I'm so smart


This is a picture of my class. Toka, Sara, Zoey, Shelby, and Me (And their parents of course)!

Here is a picture of Zoey in Daddy's lap. She liked getting in other people's laps. It made me jealous!
Mommy and Daddy had to work really hard to get me to wear that hat but they finally got it to stay on my head. Me, I thought it would be fun to eat it!

Well, I did it. I'm finally an intermediate graduate of the PetSmart obedience training class. I had so much fun and met so many new friends. One of my best friends was Zoey. We sat by each other every Wednesday night in class and we always got in trouble. Our Mommies and my Daddy were always telling us to be quiet and pulling us away from each other. I don't know why they wouldn't let us talk during class. The teacher was teaching them, not us. Anyway, we had a lot of fun and David is a REALLY good teacher. He has taught me so many things. I know how to sit, stand, walk on a loose leash, heel, shake, stay, get on my bed, come when called, and so many other things I can't name. You know I said I KNOW HOW TO do all of these things but sometimes Mommy and Daddy say that I'm stubborn and don't do them. I just think that they don't ask me nicely enough or with enough treats! Here are some pictures of me at graduation as well as some of my friends.
