Heat wave

It's been so hot here all we can do is sleep!

Good thing us Ridgebacks are good at it!!

Summertime mornings

Me and Nelli definitely love our new yard.  We get to run around without mom and dad being tied to us.  

I mean, we love them and all, but they just don't seem too interested in chasing birdies or bunnies. 

Nelli waiting patiently for her swallow friend to play chase:

While I enjoy the comforts of the green house. 

Hope everyone's enjoying some summer sun!

Dogtoberfest

Ran my 4th Oktoberfest 5k. 

 

This was Nelli's furrst, so we had to go like super slow.  But we finished before the rain started. Then we went to the place at the finish where there's all sorts of human food & drinks.  That's when it started pouring out. Luckily we got to hang out with some furrends in a little port-a-house, where it was dry.  And luckily mom brought us snacks, cuz the human food smelled yummy. 

Me and Nelli were pretty wiped out from the run & all the excitement. Nelli crashed out on the floor:

I prefer something more comfortable (yawn):

It started getting cold, so mom put my jacket on me and I took a little snooze with my buds:

It was fun, like it has been the past 3 years. This was definitely the wettest year!  Hopefully, next year Nelli will run faster and the weather will be more ridgeback friendly. 

Hope all is well in blog-land!

Port-a-house time!!!

Mom & dad finally got my port-a-house out for a trip. 

It was Lil' sis Nelli's furrst trip, but she did ok.  

The place we stayed had a huge fenced doggie run place. 

So we got to get some of our running wrestling done there. 

...and of course, I had to get my picture taken next to some weird statue thingy. 

It was fun & we have more adventures coming up soon!

Sleep positions

My sister sleeps in the weirdest positions.

My BIG surrr-prize!

I got a couple cool little birthday pressies from mom & dad.  This is a cool T-Rex. Supposed to be very tough & durable.  I played with it for about 5 minutes, then Nellie took it.

Look at all these fun stuffs in one thingy!  I played with the stick for a while, then Nellie took it (what a brat!)

Then I got a BIG surprise last night..... A new bed!

Just for me.  Look!  It's got my name on it!

It's so huge!  I can stretch out...

...or curl up.

The best thing is that it's all mine and Nellie can't have it.  PPffffttt.... (If you look closely, I'm actually sticking my tongue out at her)!!!  

I've had a great 4 years, but these last few months have been the best. My health continues to be excellent and now I've got a ton of space to run outside and chase bunnies.  And my sister, who can definitely be a little bee-otch, is usually a lot of fun to play with.  I'm a lucky dog :)

more B-day Flash backs!

Here's some pics from my 1st bday pawty

 Furrends started showing up and it was a pawty.  I'm furry happy!

Way cool gift from Memphis, which I still use today!

My 3rd bday:

Obviously mom was slacking that year cuz I had no pawty (boo):

Mom says I'm supposed to be getting a big bday pressie today, and will have a little b-lated bday celebration soon, so hopefully I'll get to share pictures about that.
