I better go for the moment ... Riley and I have some plotting to do. We're trying to figure out how to convince Mommy or Daddy that we really need to go to Dairy Queen so we can have some ice cream. Oooooh do I love ice cream... Think Riley think!! We've got to come up with something quick!!!!

Playing with a treat

Ohhhh I love playing pounce with doggy bones before I eat them!!! I like to toss them in the air, drop them on the ground then back up to prepare to pounce, and then WHAMMO! I jump on the bone!! It's even better when Daddy or Mommy play to 'cuz then they like to help me hide the bone, or move it so I have more distance to cover in my jump - all sorts of fun!!!

Helping do the dishes

I like to be near Mommy, so that means I get to help her do some chores. I love it when we do the dishes 'cuz than I get to chill on the counter and sneak peeks out the back window. 

Rollin' rollin' rollin'

OMG I love the dog park!! I can run around and chase Riley or Daddy or Mommy, sometimes other doggies. Oh and I get to sniff flowers and trees and weeds and grass - in fact when the grass gets really really tall Mommy let's me pick the path thru the grass (sometimes to trick her I like to pick a direction without a path. Then I get to pounce the tall tall grass down as I make my way thru!! Hee hee hee) 

Shh! I'm sleeping with Daddy

Ssshhh! Daddy and I are taking a nap. 

Sorry I haven't written in a while

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been kinda busy playing with Daddy, Riley, and Mommy. Well, and some of my other friends and family that are part of my inner circle. I'm really choosy who I trust, but once I trust you it's forever. 

Bunny and I are tight, and I like to have him with me whether we are in the living room or up in bed. Mommy says she's amazed that I can manage to carry Bunny up the stairs all by myself, and Daddy laughs every time I pounce Bunny. I think the worst moment Bunny and I have had so far is when Mommy told me that Bunny needed a bath. Ooooh was I worried. But Mommy let me watch as she put him in the washing machine (Bunny gets washed in a different tub than me and Riley), and I was super concerned when she put Bunny in the dryer...but I was there when the dryer was finished and Mommy let me help her get Bunny out. Phew! Was I worried! What if he didn't smell as good? What if he wasn't as cuddly as before? What if he didn't like to be my friend after the bath? But I knew as soon as I helped pull him out of the dryer everything was going to be okay. Bunny is still perfect and my favorite toy and my most bestest pal to chomp on.

Bunny and me

Everybody needs a favorite toy, and mine is my bunny. Ooooh I love Bunny. We have so much fun together!! I like to push him around the floor, throw him in the air, but the bestest is when I wrap him up in my arms and chomp down on his nose. We sit like that for 5-10 minutes with neither of us moving. Sometimes we sit like this so long I fall asleep!

...ROLL IN THE DIRT!!! well, I didn't just roll in the dirt...I rolled in the grass, on the gravel in the parking lot, on the backseat in the car on the ride home, and just about everywhere!!!

I am so happy! We went to the off-leash park last week and I had so much fun!! I got to run around in the grass, play chase with new friends, and best of all....

As some of you already know, my brother Riley, likes to sit on the front steps in the sun. Well, it's late December and I get cold easily, but I also want to sit outside with Riley...so, Mommy first put a sweater on me (but I was still cold) and then wrapped a blanket around me. That did the trick!! We were able to sit in the sun for almost 1/2 hour. IT WAS GREAT!!!!

Thanks Daddy!!!! (Boy is it hard to give Daddy kisses with a treat still in my mouth)

Phew! I'm exhausted.

Come on Dad! Throw the bone again!!!

Here's Riley and I sharing the bone on Daddy's lap.

CHOMP!!!

CHOMP!!

This was one of our presents from Santa. Aside from chewing on it, I like to get Daddy or Mommy to throw it so I can play fetch. Riley and I take turns chewing on chunks of what's left of the bone.

I'm home

Hi my name is Buddy and I'm three years old. I was put up for adoption a while ago, and was adopted by my new Mommy and Daddy three weeks ago. They are really great, love me tons, cuddle me oodles, and spoil me rotten. But the best part is I have an older brother (by three weeks -hee hee hee!!!) named Riley!!! Oh he's the best! I love him so much! He shares his toys with me, and when I'm cold he snuggles close to me, and if I'm close he likes to lean in and kiss my ears. He's so cool!!! He's taught me to play tag and chase, and we like to stay close to each other.

I'm so happy because I know I'm home. On my first day home Mommy picked me up and while cuddling me promised that I will never have to leave and that this is my forever home. She promised that Daddy and her will do whatever they have to to make me happy, safe, and secure. And I believe her.
