New Cousin

Here are a couple of pictures from Lily's first overnight stay at Grandma and Grandpa's. My new cousin Hawkeye is posing with her.

The Camera's Been Unloaded!

Here are some recent pics. Enjoy!

A camping meal worthy of a picture. I wish I could've been there.

The BD camping. He thinks he's quite special.

The chair is finally magic!

Waiting for mama to finish drying her hair one morning.

Lily LOVES playing with shoelaces. Hours of entertainment.

My buddy. You can tell how thrilled I am.

Again, can you sense my excitement?

Just woke up from a nap.

Awesome bed head.

Fun Weekend

My people went camping on Saturday night, so Lily and I got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Wagner. It was Lily's first overnight stay and she did great. She only stayed with us Saturday night. Grandpa picked me up on Friday and I got to stay the whole weekend. I have a new cousin, Hawkeye, who I get along with great. I don't have a picture of him yet though. He's a malamute and looks similar to my cousin Nome. I hear that Bailey Dog got to go camping with our people. I'm not sure why I didn't get to go along. I'm not too upset though. I got to hang out with my cousins and watch the Mizzou/Oklahoma game. Life is good.

Go Tigers!!

Once again, my people neglected me and did not allow me to watch Mizzou dominate their lowly competition. This week, they destroyed Nebraska 41-6. I found this awesome video of the crowd on youtube.



Jersey's tall person described it like this:

If it's not obvious ... to the losers that WEREN'T at the game, the wave wrapped around the stadium about 40 times. Every time it hit the Nebraska section, the stadium would BOOO then cheer as soon as it hit the Mizzou fans again. Classic.

Walks

I see that Bailey and his tall owner are training for a half marathon. All I have to say to them is "You're crazy." It's been a while since I've gotten to go on a walk, but I've been on two in the last two days. Boy, am I tired! Katie took Lily and I out on Monday. It was the first time I had walked with the stroller and only one owner. I had a feeling Katie would throw me back in the house if it didn't look like I would cooperate, so I did good for her. I only pulled hard enough to be a little annoying, not to make it impossible to handle me and the stroller at the same time. It was a great time. I love walks! I was super tired when we got back though and all Lily wanted to do was pull on my tail. That made it nearly impossible to lay down and relax, since I constantly had to get up and move to get her off my back.

The entire family went for a walk yesterday evening. Here's a picture (There was no way they were getting me to pose next to that stroller thing).

It turns out we have our own Star Wars kid here in the neighborhood. There was a boy who looked to be about 11 years old in his front yard with a double light sabre practicing his jedi moves. When we walked by, he would do all sorts of twirls and jumps as if he were actually attacking us. It was hilarious.

Lily's going to "Laptime Storytime" at the library today. I'm a little bummed that I don't get to go. I wouldn't cause a scene. Promise.

Blue Angels

Greg and Katie took Jeff and Sam to watch the Blue Angels perform over Labor Day Weekend. I'm glad I didn't get to go. I would've been a nervous wreck if those loud planes flew directly over my head. Lily didn't seem to mind too much though. She ended up falling asleep on Samantha.

How rude!

My people know I love the Tigers and yet they abandoned me while they went to see Mizzou beat Illinois 40-34 this past weekend. If I was there like I should have been, the game would not have been close at all. My ferocious barks and cheers would've intimidated those orange wearing pansies so bad, they would've hid in the locker room. Here are a couple of pictures my people took that day.

This was the highlight of my day. I spent the rest of my time alone and wishing someone had left the game on for me. I'm a smart dog, brilliant even according to some, but I can't figure out how to work those remotes.



Here is a shot of the band before the game started. If you look closely, you can see Truman in the lower left corner.



This is a shot of Katie and Samantha at the game. Unlike me in the earlier picture above, you will notice that they are smiling and having a good time.
