Wanna go for walk?

Nothing garners a bigger head tilt than the beloved phrase "Wanna go for walk?" My dad takes us every morning before the family leaves for the day. Then Molly and I hang out in the house, just counting down the minutes until they return home. My mom and Brandon return home first. Brandon rushes over to grab our leashes and Molly and I run around in total excitement. Once our leashes are on, Brandon buckles into his car and off we go! Nothing better than a long walk around the neighborhood so I can remind the other canines in the hood who's boss!

Don't forget the door B!

Total Baby Takeover

Okay, I thought it was bad that our entire house was inundated with baby stuff, but now it's crept its way to the backyard. That has ALWAYS been Bugg territory. I did not agree to this. Although, I secretly admit that these news things look kind of fun.

Unusually hot

Man, we buggs were not prepared for this heat wave. We forgot to ask mom to fill up our dog pool. We forgot to request cold water in our bowls. We mostly stayed inside today. Of course, we went out for a little sunning, but mostly we sought refuge from the sun. The best part about this weather....ICE CUBES!

Can you teach an old baby new tricks?

Brandon likes to eat his snacks off the coffee table. He walks around the perimeter and makes his way back around to eat another. Ordinarily, he is pretty good about sharing his snacks...one for you, one for you, one for me. But he has been so darn distracted lately, playing with his new toys from Santa. I had to go ahead and help myself this time. Looks like I'll have to get Brandon back to some obedience training.

Beauty Shots

Mom and Dad got a fancy new camera for Christmas...and MAN, we Buggs are looking good!! Molly looks downright beautiful, if I may say so myself. America's Next Top (Bugg) Model??

Canine Christmas Continued

We spent another weekend away from home...this time in San Diego with our Aunt Dutchess. She is old and blind, but she tolerates us young Buggs. Dutchess and I have become fast friends, but I think Molly's mere presence wears her out.

We love my grandma Carol's backyard. We even braved the rain to play out back. My mom always locks us out so Brandon can't open the door so we have to wait patiently to be allowed back inside. Although I have dirt in my teeth, I will neither confirm nor deny that I was digging in the backyard.

It's a very canine Christmas!

We visited my Hal in Las Vegas this weekend to celebrate Christmas with the Roach family. It was like a dog convention...Dewey, Cody, Walter, Molly and me reveled in the festivities.

I'm pooped...what a weekend

Karma

Karma is a killer....after all those times we destroyed Brandon's toys, look who's taking over our toys now???

Thankful for droppings

So much to be thankful for this year...

A baby brother who always includes us in snack time.

A dad that takes us for our much anticipated walk each morning.

A mom that cuddles with us each night as we prepare for bed.

A grandma that makes us hearty breakfasts when she visits (eggs, beef, chicken, etc.).

A grandpa that always drops his food--coincidentally in the very spot where we Buggs wait.

A rawhide here, a stuffed animal there....

A couch here, a flip flop there....

Countless friends that rub our ears and bellies just so.

But most of all, thankful for Thanksgiving turkey!

I'm gonna get you

Can't a Bugg get some space! Brandon follows me all the time. He tries to follow us Buggs everywhere...out the dog door, onto the couches...and now up the stairs! It's become a game for us now. Brandon crawls up the first flight of stairs and waits for Molly and me to catch up to him. He turns around and looks down the stairs and laughs. That's our queue to charge up the stairs. Molly and I run up to the very top and wait for Brandon to catch up. Brandon is getting pretty quick too. I have a feeling we will really be in trouble when Brandon starts to walk on his own. Uh oh...
