Belated Mother's Day

Mothers Day came and went before I could acknowledge it!  

We had a very nice day with flowers and sunshine. Got out and potted up some baskets for the patio.  Even had Lobster for dinner!

Ryker has new half siblings!

On the 11th Ryker's mom Gracie gave birth to six puppies...and so did his Grandma Kelsey!

Not only that but each had 3 blacks and 3 blue merles, AND each girl also had two boys and four girls!!!

wow!

 Here is Gracie with her 2nd litter. Isn't she just glowing with pride and happiness.  We got to name the pup that was born in Ryker's birth order, an adorable Blue Merle girl with a big white collar. Her name is Chena , after the Hot Springs in Alaska.

What a little cutie she is  : )   Can't wait to see those eyes open up. 

And here is Grandma Kelsey with what will be her last litter.  She sure doesn't look like a Grandmother! What a beautiful girl. 

 Great job ladies! Makes me wish we could have another ...  

But I have my hands full with Ryker and the 5 cats for now. I will have to be satisfied watching these pups grow via pictures for the next 8 weeks!

Spring has Sprung

The mud is drying up, snow is gone and little flowers are coming forth...

 It is Spring in Alaska!

I am the best little helper!     I will  help mom clear out the flower beds today...  We won't remind her of the holes I dug in the other beds!

Mom took me bike riding, well it was more like running if you ask me. My paw pads are sore! Maybe we better take this new activity a little slower?  But check out this gizmo mom got for her bike...pretty cool!

It is that black J loop bar attached under the seat, it has a spring and the rope clip attaches to my collar or harness. That way when I see a squirrel I don't pull her off her bike or run into traffic!  It is called a Springer Bicycle Attachment and she bought it on-line.

Mort and I are becoming fast friends

Mom had a massage the other day and I got to join her! It was really nice with the relaxing music and pleasant smells. I fell asleep under the table.    How does that song go?          Good, good, good, good vibrations...

 Mort the cat has really warmed up to me...we play a lot now.  He has a pretty dry sense of humor and surely knows how to tell me he has had enough. But his enough button is getting harder and harder to push   : )

                                           

            LET'S PLAY !

 I am not crazy about my dog beds, they are too hot!  I like to stretch out on a cool firm surface.    Morty has taken to laying in my beds. Guess he prefers that warm cushy feeling...
Hey, is that my chewy bone???

Our last trip to the Dog Park for a while...

Well, I had a great time but mom says we can't go back to the Dog Park for a while, we have to wait for it to dry up.  WHY?   I like the mud!

      Uh Oh , mom doesn't look pleased...

 Well, I did end up getting a bath when we got home.   It was worth it!

Mom really likes this shampoo for me. She says it makes my coat shiny and soft and doesn't dry out my skin.

I like it too, it smells like coconuts!

                             It's good to be clean!

This one's for Bandit!

This one's for Bandit!

Just Playin' my Digi!

We had a visitor early this morning, I barked and barked till mom came out to see. Then I was very behaved while she got her camera a took pictures. Then she shooed it out of the yard because she said it was eating up her trees.

Here I am playing a didgeridoo....
