More paparazzi shots...

Let me show you my backyard...

Here's my back door... and my porch. To the left is me staking out Marcia's house. She has a compost pile that Mom and Dad just found out about. So much for my freedom. I am now 30 pounds!!! I just turned 4 months old this week, and I am getting really long, curly hair (very light, so dirt shows!). Mom and Dad are seriously talking about obedience training, even though I am very smart...maybe BECAUSE I am so smart.

Flashbacks

Here are some pictures that never made it into my blog... These are mostly of me hanging out with my dad, and playing in snow...my favorite stuff!

I'm learning a lot...

I get visits from the neighborhood dogs. Bailey teaches me about the local area, by taking me across the street. My grammie from California came to see me (and Dad & Mom) and brought her golden, Holly. Holly's sister came too. She doesn't like me very much, but I'm trying hard to win her over. I like to lay in between them, making a great big golden pile. But I can't wait to have my house back to myself.

Can't you see I'm HELPING????

I continue to crack Mom and Dad up, and to be really popular. (This is my friend, Bailey, he knows EVERYTHING about the neighborhood.) A different part of my body is bigger every day, and my hair is starting to get longer and curly. I'm a pack rat (retriever) who steals framing pencils and toilet paper. I'm really helpful at the job site. Besides the pencils, I bring mud onto the slab and move around the garbage. Mom and Dad are so excited to take me to training. At this point, I KNOW a lot of words, but that doesn't mean I think they're important all the time. Signing off now...there's lot of sleeping and chewing to do.

Here's my new bed...I'll fill it up in no time!

Can you believe this is my backyard? I hide so well in the snow, huh? Just like a real polar bear!
