We’re Back!

I’m so happy to tell you the shop is up and running again.  

Baby brother Noah is 6 weeks old now and I think that’s old enough for walks to the post office once more!  Our next challenge: getting Liz to work on new inventory during naps– with my help, of course!

My New Little Brother, Part II

I know you have all been waiting to see pictures of me with my little brother, right?  Well, you do not have to wait any longer:

He is one month old today!

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a picture with both of us looking good:

Oh well.  And if you’re wondering why Liz & Noah are wearing those hats–Jon’s cousin brought them back from Peru.  Sadly there wasn’t one for my head!  Actually I’m not sad about that.  But it would have made a good picture!

My New Little Brother

Hello there!  

I am sorry I have been away for so long.  In fact, I’m just taking a quick break from my new babywatching duties to tell you that my new baby brother is finally here!

I like him a lot and am doing a great job taking care of him and Liz. 

It may be a while before I am back to my regular postings…but I will be back!!!

Snacks from The Sea

Sometimes, when I go walking on the beach, I find a tasty little piece of seaweed that I just cannot resist!

I always choose this kind to have a little chew on.  It is kind of rust colored, with little balls along it that have leaves attached to them.  The balls pop when you crunch them!

My collar started to fall off, but this did not deter me for long!

I just continued without it!  Actually, I do not swallow any of this seaweed.  I just like to bite it and rip it to shreds.

Once that was accomplished, I was ready to continue my walk, with a little bit of a sandy face!  Maybe to find more seaweed scraps to chew on, or sniff at old mussel shells…there is so much to do at the beach!

Waiting for Baby

You know I am about to get a little brother right?  A human one.

I make sure I take good care of Liz while we are waiting for the baby.  I watch them all the time.  I even help to keep them warm when it is cold…

It is a little dark but can you tell I am in there, snuggling the baby?  Liz thinks I am so cute!

Goodbye Little Painting!

I received some exciting news over the holiday period.  Two of Liz’s paintings of me sold!

One of them was on display at my friend’s fabulous dog spa, Biscuit Magoo, in Staten Island, New York:

and this one was for sale in the etsy shop:

I didn’t get to help pack the first one up, but I did help with the second.  It was hard to say goodbye, but I know it was going to a good home!

I made Liz put a little surprise in the back:

Do you think she will like it?

I’m Finally Back!

Hello everyone and Happy 2009 to you!  I hope you all had a great holiday season.  Can you believe we are already heading into the end of January?  Wow, time flies…

Well, I don’t know about you but I had a very nice Christmas and New Year.  Here is a little glimpse into how I spent most of my time.

With my Auntie Emily:

with Jon:

with my great-grandpa Mark:

with my Grammy:

with my Auntie Irene:

I did wake up periodically to partake in some of the festivities.  Do you remember Kristin?  She came over one evening and gave me another of her famous massages:

Then for New Year’s we had some family come to stay with us–Jon’s cousin Matt and his girlfriend Erin, who are doing an exciting around-the-world trip, made a stop in San Diego!  I hung out with them on New Year’s Eve:

But I didn’t make it till midnight.

Matt kept thinking it was amusing to play tricks on my while I was trying to sleep:

Yeah very funny.  Can’t he see that I already have my own set of bunny ears??

Just for A Laugh…

I know I said I was going to take a blogging break over the holidays, but I had to show you this little video Alisha, Claude’s mom, made:

I’m in it, and if you feel like laughing, click here!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This is to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah or whatever holiday you might like to celebrate around now!  I also want to wish you a very happy and healthy 2009.

Do you think I look happy about being forced to dress up as an elf?

In the past, there have been reindeer antlers, visits to Santa’s photo booth and other torturous incidents, but this year’s pictures definitely turned out better than ever.  Or so Liz says.

Personally, I’m not sure.  All I know is that I am quite accommodating–I did get about 20 treats out of this photo session, though, so it wasn’t all bad!

See you again after the holidays!

A Holiday Party

Last week I was lucky to be invited to a party!  Imagine…this is actually the first holiday party where my attendance has been specifically requested.  Liz’s friend Jeri has a little shih tzu named Swasey and they wanted us to finally meet.

She was wearing her Christmas jingle bell collar specially for the occasion and she looked very beautiful.  She was quite friendly and wanted to play:

but I just wanted to sniff around the house a bit.  I get very nosy in a new place, you see.  I found where she keeps all her toys, and proceeded to get them out and chew on them.

I like to make myself right at home!   So after I had finished removing Snoopy’s nose, I proceeded to lay down and take a little snooze.  There’s really nothing I like more than to sleep in front of a nice fire.  When we lived in England I used to do it all the time.

My sleep was soon interrupted, however, by the arrival of another guest!

Swasey’s friend Gizmo had also been invited to the festivities, so I roused myself and we played around the house for a little while.

Then I got to try on the special Christmas collar:

In all it was a wonderful party!

Of course you know what I did when I got home though…all of that celebrating tired me out!
