Driving, driving, driving...

Thankfully, Mom & Dad have been taking us on rides more frequently. Instead of barfing all over Mom... I'm actually starting to enjoy the ride.

Today we went to visit our puppy friends in Pacific, WA. That's a little bit of a drive from our house. Ruben & I know that we're not going to the doctor or to the foo-foo parlor, it's much further than that.

I had fun looking out the window, for once. Usually, I hide on the floor... but, I'm getting much more brave. Cars and trucks everywhere. Really exciting! And then, there was this weird truck where I could see the driver's whole body... that was strange.

It was really nice to see my friends' Mom & Dad. They're always so nice to us. I have a little anxiety getting used to Lucas, Molly & Tucker's excited greetings, but, that all settles down fairly quickly. Looking forward to a nice visit.

Whew-hew! Starbucks!

My Daddy used to take Ruben to Starbucks when he went to get coffee... only Ruben. It made me sooooo sad to be left behind and I would just wait and wait, staring at the window or door until they came back home.

Then, when Mom was away a couple of weeks ago, Dad decided to bring me along. Yippee! Now, I look forward to it just as much as Ruben does.

This morning, I almost thought he was going to go back to leaving me behind. He took Ruben to the car & I was so sure he was not coming back for me. It made me cry. And, all of a sudden, there he was... he did come back for me. I love going to Starbucks. I don't care how much you hear it, but, "oh, they're so cute!" never gets old.

It's a great day! Happy Friday!

What is that thing?

My two-legged brother, Tim brings this "thing" over from time to time to visit. It's about my size, but boy is it fast. My goal... get out of the way.

I don't perform on demand...

What do I look like? Comcast? I don't think so. On demand is not part of my make-up at all. Mom brought me a squeak toy (which I love) from a recent visit to Portland. But, just because I love it, doesn't mean I'm going to get all cutesy-posey. You just have to catch me when I'm looking my best. Nope, not in my contract to perform on demand. Especially, if no food is involved.



OK... so maybe I really liked the toy. Couldn't help it that I wanted to squeak the thing over & over again. I love that sound. Such power... one little squeeze and it makes this squeaky noise. I can't get enough of that.
