I Love

Love when I am outside with Mommy and Daddy.
Love when I can chew a stick, be with Mommy and Daddy, and sniff around where the rabbits have been.
Love it even more when Mommy and Daddy eat dinner outside and I get treats.
I love treats best of all....except for Mommy and Daddy.

Mommy went a little crazy one day. She was clicking away and giving me instructions about where to look, and where to lie down. She seemed to be having fun so I put up with it for a while. The warm sunshine was also quite relaxing so I didn't mind lying there for a while.
Mommy is a bit of a shutterbug and I am her favorite subject.
I don't mind. Mommy is my favorite mommy.

Daddy and I had a wonderful day today.
We took a long ride in my truck and Daddy played the music loud and gave me plenty of room to put my nose out the window and sniff the delicious new wind.
This new wind is warmer than the old wind.
This new wind is gamier than the old wind.
I think it is delicious.

This picture is from when I was just a baby. This was my first trip to the beach with Mommy and Daddy. Beaches are full of interesting smells and lots of fun people who want to pet me and tell me how cute I am. Well that happens just about everywhere, but beaches are even better.

Everything was new, I had only been with Mom and Dad about 6 weeks and I was learning to ride in the truck without throwing up. It was scary at first, everything moved so fast.

Now I love to ride in the truck. There are some places where people have dog cookies waiting for me. I like those places best.

No matter where we go, I love to be with my Mom and Dad, even if it is just on our couch at home.
