Today we had to drive back to Bellevue.  I had the whole back of the car to myself, but I like to just curl up in a ball behind the front seat.  It was a long drive, but I'm happy to be settled down at home now.

Cross stitching might become a new hobby of mine.  It's kind of hard for me to grip the tiny needle with my paws, though.

I decided to make myself comfortable on my grandparents' couch.  I even tried out the neck pillow for some added support.  I need to get one for myself at home.

Elise and I made an impromptu trip to Lebanon this weekend.  My human grandparents spoiled me and let me hang out on all their furniture.

Elise spent a lot of time today moving her clothes in and out of the cleaning machines.  I had to entertain myself somehow.  The basket was actually pretty cozy, and I managed to put on her warm jacket before it got tossed in with the other clothes too.

Another drive home from the dog park!  We were there for a long time this morning.  I found lots of dogs to play with and finished it off with a nice swim in the river.  Actually I was staring out the window at a "bicyclist" that rode by us.  I had the strange urge to chase him.....

My human grandparents sent me this Valentines Day card.  It gave me some good hints for the continued training of my humans!

Today I waited around for Elise to get home from work, and then we went for a run!  I get super excited when other people pass us while we're running, and try to catch up to them.  Elise is pretty good at keeping up with me, but sometimes I forget that we still have to turn around and run all the way back.

This is my human friend Kyra.  She likes to go on runs with Elise and me.  We went on a run this morning, and then when we got back, I made sure she had my full attention.  I walked over and sat on her lap, so that she could scratch my behind.  She seemed to enjoy my attention and it feels so good to get those hard-to-reach places scratched!  I could have sat there all day.  Now I know what I'm going to do the next time she comes over.

How do these look?  I think I'll turn heads at the dog park.

In the early morning hours, I like to look out of the bedroom window and watch squirrels.  Sometimes there are even cats out there!  Plus it's my own little way of waking my humans up in the morning.

Sometimes Elise spoils me and lets me take a nap with her on the couch.  I like snuggling with my humans, especially after a long morning running around at the park.

I think Marymoor Dog Park is probably my favorite place in the whole Seattle area.  It's so big.  There's always other dogs to play with.  There's lots of tall grass to eat and run through.  There's a river to swim in.  There is so much going on that sometimes I can't decide what I want to do first.  Today I did a little big of everything.  I played with a white German Shepherd, a bunch of Labs, two Golden Retrievers, a Goldendoodle, a Husky, and a Boxer.  There was quite the variety today.  Then, Elise threw the ball in the river for me for a while.  Now, I'm at home, tired and happy.
