Birthdays and Frosty Paws!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SWEET GINNNNNNNYYYYYYYY . . .

That's right everyone! I am FOUR YEARS OLD today! Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday I was in puppy class learning to sit and stay.

Mommy said that I need to stay four forever. She doesn't want me to get any older. :) Although she said this morning that I am a lot gassier at four than I was at three . . . I have been stinking them out lately. I told Mommy I need a different food. :)

Archie's birthday was in June. He turned 1 year old! I have to say that the little guy has grown on me. He's pretty much my best friend now. We play ALL THE TIME. Our favorite time to start wrestle mania is right when Mommy & Daddy are ready to go to sleep. :)

Here are some pictures of Archie's first birthday.

He's not so happy about the hat. I wore it so much better . . .

But he LOVED the Frosty Paws.

Mommy bought us a little pool to play in. It's been sooooo hot here. Mommy didn't think Archie would go near it, but he loves it!! I am still not sold on it though.

Anyway, sorry we have been so quiet since February. It's been a busy year so far. Mommy & Daddy got married in Jamaica in May (uh-huh, they had TWO puppies out of wedlock!! SHAME) so they weren't around to help me with the computer too much.

But this really nice lady came to stay with us while they were gone. We had soooo much fun. She took us for tons of walks and loved on us and gave us lots of treats . . . She got really scared though--on the last day before M&D came home, I tried to eat a bee. I thought it would be like eating June bugs--I do that all the time. Oh no. This little bugger bit me back!! My lip swelled up and I didn't want to eat. Our poor doggy sitter was so worried. When Mommy took me to the vet, he just told Mommy to give me Benadryl and I would be fine. He lectured me about the dangers of eating random bugs though . . .

After all that excitement, we are just being lazy and enjoying the summer. :) That means lots of snuggle time with Mommy & Daddy.

Catching up--Howloween!

Okay, so I am a little behind on my blog. I am going to try really hard to catch up!!

This one is a little out of order, but these pictures made my mommy laugh.

Mommy wouldn't let us go trick or treating for Howloween, but she did let us wear our costumes.

Seriously Mom, can't we do better than this? I mean, why do I have to be a witch? Can't I be a vampire or a mummy? Or what about a zombie??


Archie's costume is very fitting. He is a little demon. Don't let the cute face fool you folks. That kid is just evil. He steals my toys, eats my food and bites me!! And he has big ears.

If They Can Do It, What's Our Excuse?

Okay, this is just the sweetest story!! Please click the link to Bella's Boxer Shorts to watch!!

Bella The Boxer--If They Can Do It, What's Our Excuse?

That's MY DADDY.

I am trying really hard to get adjusted to the little guy. I mean, he's pretty pushy. And my parents think he's cute, so that means he gets all kinds of attention.


Apparently he likes Football Sunday with Dad as much as I do.








I have to admit, I get a little jealous. I need Daddy time too!!








Archie decides he needs to be with Daddy too and so he starts moving in.





I told you the little guy was pushy.




Okay buddy, you are really pushing your luck here.

Well, he is awful cute. Maybe he's not so bad after all.

Little Stinker.

I can't believe my daddy would blame ME for the smell. Like I am the one with gas!! Nice try Dad!

Puppy pictures!

Mommy was digging through all our pictures (helping me catch up on my blog) and found some pictures of me when I was a puppy! I was sooooo little. Okay, not as little as Archie, but I was pretty darn small!

Here are a few for your enjoyment!!

I think this was taken one of my first nights with my new mommy & daddy.

This is my daddy. Isn't he handsome? I love him SO MUCH. I am such a daddy's girl.


I LOVE watching football with Daddy. Actually, I love anything that involves being with Daddy.

Look at those stripes! Mommy says I look like a tiger. Growl!!

Little froggie . . .

My favorite bed when I was little. I think I tore it apart. Oh well, I wouldn't be able to sleep on it now that I am a BIG GIRL.

Right after I went to live with my new mommy & daddy, they had a garage sale. I don't really understand how that works. We still have the garage, so I don't know how we could sell it . . . But I took this bear from the garage sale pile and adopted it. It's mine now. :) I was outside sleeping by the tree during the sale--people kept asking how much Mommy & Daddy wanted for me!

This is my mommy. I used to be able to lie on her tummy, but now she says I smoosh her. I still try though!!

Just another football Sunday. I was "watching" a game with my daddy. Okay, I was sleeping. Football watching is hard work.
