I met Santa!

Hi Friends!

I know I have been away for a long time!

I missed you all very much!

But Mommy and I had some computer trouble.

Then we went on Vacation and got stuck in something called Sandy!

 

Then came all the Holiday stuff Mommy needed to do!!

 

It has just been crazy!

 

But I am back now!

 

Mommy says I have really grown up this year.

 

I never would have done this as a Puppy!
(by the way! I am 2 now!!)

 

 

 

I hope to visit with all of you more often now!

Hope you all have a great Holiday Season!

 

Doggy Kisses,

Oven cleaning day isnt cool

Mommy was doing some baking today.  She was helping Meg with a birthday cake.  And Mommy made a mistake.  I am not sure what Mommy did, but I know she had to re-bake the cake.

Aft

After the new cake came out of the oven, Mommy closed the oven door, pushed a few buttons....and the kitchen started to get warm! It stayed warm for three hours. Mommy took me out to play 'cause it was cooler outside. When I came in... I looked like this: I was HAPPY, but really hot! Mommy said she was cleaning the oven! That's why it got so hot! Hope you have a cooler day! Doggy kisses, Tanner

One word Wednesday -- Upsidedown

Have a great day!

Can you see the bunny?

I could!  In fact, I spent about 15 minutes with my paws on the stool watching the bunny through the window.  It was a lot of fun.

Hope you have fun today too!

Doggy kisses,
Tanner

Homeward bound - Now safe and sound!

This morning found me in the back seat of the truck!  We were headed home!  Our long weekend at camp had come to an end.

Mommy said I was a very good boy on the ride 2.5 hour ride home.  Now we are safe and sound.

Time to have some adventures here at home.

Right now, Mommy is in the kitchen baking!
That usually means some good stuff is coming.

Doggy kisses,
Tanner

Happy Labor Day!

Mommy told me that today was all about celebrating people and the work they do.  I really don't understand all that stuff people do, but I know today is a day off for Daddy!   So today, we are resting.

Hope you all get to rest and enjoy the day too!

Doggy kisses,
Tanner

Keeping watch

We are safe at camp!
Mommy and Daddy got us all set up.
Now, I get to do my job!

Keep watch.  (Oh, and, maybe, just maybe find a leftover breakfast treat)

Have a great friday!

Doggy kisses,
Tanner

Packing up!

Guess what we are doing today?  This is Daddy's stuff.  We are getting ready to go camping again!!

Mommy still has to get her stuff together.  And then my stuff.

This is how I am helping!  But I am excited!  I love camping!

Doggy kisses,
Tanner

One Word Wednesday -- Sleep

Hope you are all well rested!

I Broke it!

As many of you know, I do not eat from a bowl

like most of you do.

I eat my food from toys!

Mommy says this keeps me busy!

 

But the other night, a very sad thing happened!

My favorite food toy,

My Magic Mushroom.....

 

 

BROKE!!

I was eating my dinner, and all of a sudden, my toy was in two pieces!

 

 

The mushroom part at the top broke off of the base.

 

 

This is the inside of the mushroom part, or what is left of it.

 

 

Mommy went to our favorite Doggy store

 and found a shiny new one!

 

 

First, I gave it the "sniff and roll test"! 

It passed!

 

 

Next came the "carry test".  It passed that too!

 

 

Then came the most important test of all.

The "what's inside test".

 

I'm sorry to say, my first test was not successful. 

 

I had to give the toy back to Mommy to be re-set so it would pass.

Dinner was yummy!

Tanner

 

 

 

It's BACK!!!

It was Thursday!

 

Mommy and I were working in the studio!

 

(Well, Mommy was working and I was napping.)

 

Daddy came downstairs with a box!

 

 

This Box!!!

 

Guess what is in it?

 

Mommy spent the weekend getting it set up so we can post again.

And we have lots of news to share!

 

Doggy Kisses,

Tanner

The Computer has a Boo Boo!

As many of you know, my nickname is "Boo" or "Boo-Boo" because of all the injuries that I have had in my life.

When Mommy got her black eye (from playing with me) and the leash burn (also from playing with me) , I offered to share the nickname with her. 

I called her Boo-Boo-Too!.

Now, we have a Boo Boo III.  Mommy's computer!!

It started acting funny about three weeks ago.  Finally, last Thursday night, Mommy had had enough.  She and I stayed up really late and did some work on the computer.

Even after all Mommy did, the computer was still not working right.  So Mommy had to send it in for repairs.  They said it is a hard-drive problem!!! 

Luckily, Mommy backed up EVERYTHING when the problems started!  And.... we are still under warranty.  So, the repairs will be coverd.

The bad news is, the Computer will be gone for 1- 2 weeks.
We are using Mommys old old back up computer.  It runs really slowly.  So I probably won't be posting as much till the computer comes home. 

Mommy says loading photos and working with them is really hard with this old system.

But, I will still come by and comment on your posts.  So keep me in the loop.

Doggy Kisses,
Tanner

Bring a Friend Day!

I got a bath yesterday!
I went to see my favorite groomer!
We call her Auntie Tina!

She has taken care of Mommy's doggies for many years. 
Now she takes care of me.

I really enjoy my bath.

I enjoy it so much that today, I took 6 friends.

Auntie Tina found them.
She was happy that I let her "blow me out."
I usually don't like the dryer, so she was really happy to get to do this today.


She said the reason I had been scratching so much lately was.....

I had F.L.E.A.S!

That is what my 6 friends were.

Mommy went to the store and got me some new medicine.  Auntie Tina said that the medicine we had been using (Front line Plus) was not working this year because the fleas are so bad.  So Mommy switched to Advantage!

She put it on the back of my neck!

And, now, I am a happy dog!

I just need to make some new friends!

Tanner

New Shoes

Jaxon got two pair of new shoes while he was visiting.

The first pair came from Meg.

They were Winnie the Pooh slippers.

Jaxon was not really thrilled to wear them

because he could not crawl right.

At first, I thought Jaxon had one of my toys on his feet.

  But after a bit I got used to them.

And so did Jaxon!

The other pair came from a shoe store.

Mommy, Meg, Jaxon and his parents went shoe shopping one day for the big people.  Jaxon's Daddy loves to buy shoes here because we have an outlet store (whatever that is)

While Jaxon's Mommy and Daddy picking out their shoes, Jaxon was busy charming the sales people.

They thought he was so cute, they gave him a free pair of sneakers that matched his outfit perfectly.

Jaxon, his Daddy and Mommy posed for a photo outside the store before they came home to show me what the bought!

Doggy Kisses,

Tanner

One Word Wednesday -- Toys!

We have a lot of new toys in the house!

But they aren't for me!

I don't get to play with them!

I just get to watch over them while Jaxon naps!

Tanner

Bloggie Doggie

I admit it!

I have not been a very good Bloggie Doggie!

With the 'wedding' happening, we have had a lot of activity here.  Most of which did not include me.

We have had a lot of visitors too! 

Some I even got to play with!

This is Jaxon!

Mommy says if I were a human, Jaxon would be my cousin.

He is just a little guy, but boy can he move.

Because Jaxon is so little, Mommy thought we should meet through my crate for the first time.

Jaxon crawled right over to me. 

"Uff! Uff"

That is what Jaxon calls me!

Mommy soon decided it was safe for us to meet face to face!

And so we did!

And we had a great time playing together!!!!

Doggy Kisses,

Tanner

One Word Wednesday -- Devastation!

Let's just say I had some stress to work out!

No wonder with all that is going on around here.

I am still getting play time, but sometimes.....

It all started with a stuffed Pig!

Mommy didn't take pics of it before she gave it to me. 

Just after!

Here is the Piggy's head!

And here is his body!

And here is his stuffing!

And here.......

And here.......

And here!

Mommy says it looks like WWIII hit!

But, I feel better!

Tanner's Happenings

Sorry I have not posted to my blog for a week or so. 

My family has been a bit busy.

I am not sure what all of it means,

but Mommy says MJ is getting married.

We are having a wedding

And we are going to have company in our house.

MJ is all moved out.

I was not really allowed in his room when he lived here,

 so now, I am taking time to check it out.

Mommy and Daddy have been doing a lot of work in that room.

They had to take MJ's bed apart. 

He slept in something called a LOFT. 

This meant that his bed was way off the ground

and I could not give him "good morning kisses".

I supervised Daddy as he took it apart one evening last week.

It took some time & Daddy had to be careful about taking it apart.  He didn't want pieces to fall and scare me.

(By the way, doesn't Daddy look skinnier? 

 He has been going to the gym everyday with Mommy and Meg)

As he worked, he took piece out and gave them to Mommy.

I had to check them and make sure they were not treats.

Daddy worked up high....

And down low.

And I WATCHED!!!

We have a lot more going on. 

I'll try to share more over the next few days. 

But Mommy is pretty busy. 

I am not sure how much time I will get.

Doggy Kisses,

Tanner
