Gifts from a friend and lots of changes

We received our Christmas in July package from Rachel and her Friends gang from the Woof! board. They were so nice to send us such awesome gifts.

Look at our cool new collar charms!


Here we are with the entire haul.


The big news is that my Dad's company was sold and they are closing down his office. The new company wants him to come out Oregon to work and live. Mom and Dad are both very excited and very nervous about such a big change. We won't be moving until the end of 2008 so we all have plenty of time to get used to the idea. Mom, Dad and I are going out to Oregon in September for a week and will have a chance to play and look at the housing market. It will be my first plane ride so I'm super excited!

What $20 buys

Mom & Dad heard about dog beds at Big Lots. It's not a store they frequent but with 5 dogs who demand fluffy beds, they thought they'd go take a look and see if the beds were as nice and cheap as claimed.

This is kinda nice.


I'll let you know how I like it when I'm done with my nap.

Do not attempt this at home...

I've been looking for a career. Tonight I decided to try being a lion, er Ernies, tamer. Mom said I should go back to modeling.

Sometimes I wish I were an only dog

KST has been annoying me to no end today. I have had to put the smackdown on him multiple times already. Here is an example...


The Hounds have been very mouthy, making Mom mad. She hasn't yelled at me, she rarely does, but the Hounds sure have received an earful.

Mom went and bought some flowers to make us both feel better. She said this gerber daisy went perfect with my coat coloring.

My alter ego...

...Martha Poindexter. I hope Ikes still finds me sex-ay.

My patented move in action

Here is a good example of me performing The Flying Monkey. What is your signature move?


Mom is going to help me move all of my links over to the new blog. I will also be adding links for my new friends.

Another contest

For all my friends, Shutterfly is holding a pet photo contest. Although I'm not entered, Bunny & Toby are, with their Cherry Picking photo. Please vote for them and make sure you have your 'rents enter a pic of you too!

KST's revenge

As many of you know, KST is my favorite whipping boy. All you have to do is look at his silly feathers and all that butt hair to know why. Today, for some reason, he thought he could best me. What a whackadoo!

Here I am noticing a disturbance in the Force.


Surely not!


Oh my butt!!!


And my side!


That's it! Time for the Smack Down!


I think he's learned his lesson...for now.

My first post

So, my blog is currently hosted on our home network. To make things a bit easier, Mom is considering switching me over to blogger.com. I'm not sure how I feel about giving up my Hello Kitty theme but I'm willing to give this a try.

Here are some photos of me playing with my siblings. I thought they'd be good for a first post!
