This is what I do, when I can't get my humans' attention.  I just stare and wait.  They eventually get the hint.

Whenever I know my human Brandon is going to be coming home, I sit by the front door and wait for him.  I do this every morning before he gets home from the gym, and every evening when he's going to be coming home from work.  I like when both of my humans are home, and the pack is complete.

An Adventure in Yogurt

My grandpa gave me a taste of yogurt when I was at their house.  Now whenever I see my humans eating it, I give them my best "pathetic, hungry dog" stare.  Sometimes it works, and they let me lick the remains out of the container!  Delicious.

I need to have a pep talk with my human.  I think she has been eating too many of my treats.  She keeps growing bigger.  Sometimes I look at her stomach, and try to figure out exactly what's going on.  I'll be keeping an eye on this.

My human gets a bit obsessive about taking pictures of me.  I think with these, she just wanted to try out some of the special effects on the camera phone.  I'm pretty good at posing for her, at this point.

I'm 2 years old! Happy Birthday to me!

At Marymoor dog park

Wearing my birthday crown and sitting with my new stuffed triceratops

After the dog park, a bath, and playing with my new toy, it's nap time.

Today I turned 2 years old, in human years!  Elise and I started the morning playing fetch in the icy backyard.  Then after she had lunch, we went to my favorite dog park and I got to run around for a long time.  I swam in the river, played fetch, swam through the muddy ditch water, and played with lots of dogs!  Then my human insisted on bringing me to the self dog wash and giving me a bath.  It wasn't as bad as I remembered it being, but I still hate the dryer at the end.  I prefer to air dry.  After that, we stopped at the pet store and I picked out this new stuffed triceratops.  He makes a great addition to my stuffed animal collection!  When we got home, Elise insisted on taking a couple birthday pictures of me in this annoying crown.  I got used to it, and eventually took a little nap.  It's been a good birthday.  

My human Elise likes to do "yoga."  She does lots of stretches on the floor, which makes me want to sit right next to her at stare at her face.

In the morning, my human Brandon leaves for a while, and when he comes back he is tired and his skin is very salty.  I get a little worried that he's not going to recover and lay by his side until I'm sure he's going to be okay.

I really hate the little tube of liquid medicine my human sometimes puts on my shoulders.  It smells horrible, and I can't reach it to get it off my back!  She says it will keep the fleas and lice away, but frankly I'd rather live with those.  When I saw her pull one of the tubes out of the drawer the other day, I tried to hide.  I squeezed between the couch and table and hid in the corner.  Unfortunately my human knows my love of treats and lured me out long enough to put the medicine on me.  I made sure to pout the rest of the night, so that she knew I was not happy with her.

I had really started to grow fond of this tree and all of its shiny ornaments.  I was a little bummed when my human started to take it all down.  I sat there and watched as she packed everything away until next year.

Lots of other humans (including one of my favorites, called Kyra) came over for "New Years Eve."  They ate food that smelled really good.  I stared at them longingly, while they ate, but no one dropped anything.  Then they sat around and played something that included "dice."  They shook the little square dice in a cup.  It was fascinating to me.  I sat there and watched in case any of them dropped and needed to be eaten.

My human's Christmas decorations did not stop with the house.  She even had some decorations for me too.  I really wanted to just pull them off my head and eat them, but she is very persistent, so I gave in and sat there nicely.
