I'm 11 years old!!

 

Mom said we were celebrating a special day.  Ok, so where's my special treat??

Hmmmmm.   What's this???

Ahhhhhh!  Nice creamy, coconutty, frozen yumminess!!!!!!  Perfect for a hot day.  Wait a minute...just one??

Now to chill under the air conditioning.  What a relaxing way to celebrate my 11th birthday. 

This was much better than a few weeks ago when I had to go to the emergency room for having something stuck in my throat.  NOT fun.  Here I am waiting (fur-EVER) to go to the ER.  Mom said everything took longer and was more stressful with the COVID restrictions. Plus, I had to go 2 days in a row because they totally messed up my diagnosis (said I had gastritis instead of something stuck, despite like 6 X-rays).

Mom made me this special potion to help me and my throat feel better.

It took a few days, but I started feeling better. 

My pack helped me feel like myself again.

And, yes.  Mom did something about the ER doc messing things up.  We are lucky mom took me right back in the next day and I got seen by a different doc, who got it right.  

Mom and Dad got this great gift for Christmas from our hooman grand peeps.  It's a pretty good drawing of me and my sis's.  Very cool!

We've had a terribly rainy fall and winter, but today was nice so mom got some pics.

Showin' off my awesome ridge....

Mom said I'm going to be 11 years old this year.  I spend most of my time enjoying the sun and surveying and protecting my stuff.  But, sometimes I can still teach the young'uns a thing or two about wrestling...

....and sometimes I just like to sniff stuff....

Hope everyone's able to enjoy some nice warm sun!

Today's My 10th Birthday!!!

Mom says today I turned 10 years old.

I don't really know what that means, but I got some special time away from the annoying sisters today.  

We went to mom's work place and I got lots of attention from her work peeps.

Then, we went walking at a place where we used to go all the time, just me and her (pre-sisters).

I remembered a lot of the smells and it was nice being back here.  We didn't go very far cuz it was so hot and I seemed to get pooped pretty quickly.

Then we visited Sam, Memphis' dad.  It was good to see him.  I could still smell my buddy Memphis on him, which made me happy and sad at the same time.

Then we went to visit Auntie Janet.  It was nice and cool in her house.  I remember this comfy rug from many Christmases past.  She gave me a piece of 'Kyuc-yum-ber' (which I thought was definitely not 'yum' so spit it out) and some apple (which was yummy cuz it was a hot day today).

Then we went walking in the park by her house for a bit, another place I used to go a lot.  Lots of good smells.  That's where I pooped out a cat toy almost 10 years ago.  Ah.  The memories.  

When we got home, mom gave me this special treat to cool off:

It was yummy and a perfect cool treat (for a perfect cool dog.)  But the best treat today was getting to see people and places I haven't been in a while, but have very fond memories of their smells.   The best birthday present ever!

Camping Catchup

Mom said it's the start of port 'o house season, and I realized I hadn't posted any pics from last season.    So, here's a bunch to catch up.  This is in my new port 'o house:

I think this was 3 trips, 2 different states, lots of different smells.  We're all looking forward to some excellent adventures this port 'o house season!!!

Spring skies in the PNW....and my butt!  Yeah, and that's sister Ema.

A few more days of the warm dragon and he'll be going into hibernation for the season.  But, I'm looking forward to less drippy skies.

Lazy morning

Mom, it's waaaaay too early to disco!

I'm 9 years old now!

It's been a great summer.  A little too hot for my liking.  I don't know how my relatives could stand the heat in Africa.  But this is much better than that drippy stuff.

Me and Nelli getting our disco on.  Mom makes us wear these so she can see us after dark.  Sometimes we like to turn them off and freak her out.

 Celebrating my 9th birthday with big yummy frozen bones.  Takes me a little longer to chew them now, but they're still tasty!

A nice new treat...raw beef trachea.  A little chewy, as you can see...

 Little sister Ema is growing up, but she's still annoying.  Here's she's practicing her innocent, cute look.  It took lots of coaching from me to help her with this.  She's getting there.
