Today is National Dog Day!

 We took a nice walk around the neighborhood.  I got to meet a new little dog and said hello to an older lady that walks everyday.  After that I decided to put my feet up, and my human let me control the remote.  Animal Planet it is!

It's turning into a rainy day, so animal planet and cuddling with my humans sounds like a good National Dog Day to me!

I didn't know if my humans and I were ever going to get out of the house today.  They seemed content to lounge around in their pjs.  This afternoon, we finally went on a little adventure.  We went into town and on a walk along the Sammamish River.  I like this path, because there are lots of bicyclists that ride by.  I have to resist the urge to chase after them.  My humans always discourage that.  We stopped by one of the benches for a photo op.  I feel better now that I've had a walk, and am ready to chill out for the rest of the evening. 

Helloooo out there!  I am finally starting to recover from sleep deprivation, and am going to update you on the past 2 months.  It's kind of a blur, but try to follow along.  I will summarize the best I can.

Where we left off....
My human was on the brink of explosion.  I was just waiting and waiting for her baby human incubation period to be over.  She was starting to have trouble bending over to pick up my tennis balls, so it was time. 

Finally...on June 12th, at 1:05pm, what I was told was now my "little brother" was born.  He was 7lb 12 oz, and 19.5 inches long.  No wonder my human looked so ridiculous by the end.  I wasn't there, but apparently it took 30 hours, and then it was 2 more days before my humans came home.  My grandparents kept me company until then.  Once they came home, this little squirmy thing made lots of strange noises.  It took me a couple days to not stress out about these sounds (although they still keep me up at night) but since then, I've had the urge to go wherever he goes.

 

I learned pretty quickly that I needed to sleep whenever he slept, so that I still had energy for my normal shenanigans. 

A few weeks after he was born, we went to a fun party for the 4th of July weekend, and I made a new friend.  This little guy, named Cruzan, was fun to chase around.  I tried not to stomp on him with my big feet too much.

 

Before I knew it, a whole month had gone by.  My little brother grew a lot that first month.  He grew to 22 inches long and 9lbs 14oz. 

 

I like to keep an eye on things in my brother's room, by squeezing behind the rocking chair whenever my humans are in there.

A couple weeks ago, my grandparents came to visit.  They are taking care of my best friend Mackie, so I got some quality time with her while they were here.  We wore each other out!

I keep an eye on Little Brother while we're outside too.

 

 Last week Little Brother turned 2 months old.  At the rate he is growing, he should be able to throw the ball for me in no time!  He weighed in at 12lbs 8oz and 23 inches long.  My humans keep complaining that he's already growing out of a lot of his 3 month size clothes.  Work on that throwing arm kid!

Also last week, my aunt and cousin came to visit.  In the morning, I snuck into their room and quietly curled up on the bed with them.

Sometimes my human sings to Little Brother.  It's not great.

When I get really bored, I sit and stare at my human and our mini human until they get the hint....

...and we go to Marymoor Park.

 

Getting ready to head home from the park this morning...life is good.

 

 The end. Back to more regular posts now.
