Delicious Stuffed Toys

My mom bought me all these cool stuffed toys on sale at Pet Edge. I've already destroyed all of them. But here's a video of me enjoying my stuffed giraffe...

The footage is from last week when the UC Irvine baseball team was still in the College World Series (hence the UCI talk at the end). Unfortunately they were eliminated by the reigning champs Oregon State.

Summer is Almost Here!

That's right, folks. It's almost the season to lay back and relax, sip tropical drinks, go to the beach and play sports. I've already gotten started on the action (or lack thereof)...



What are your plans for the summer?

Barking Mad

I'm a pretty happy-go-lucky dog and there are few things in life that annoy me. But my mom's white jewelry box is one of those things that drives me up a wall.

gotcha!

What I've Been Up To...

I've been spending a lot of time at my grandparents' house lately. Mom and Dad said I couldn't stay home alone because people are doing work in the backyard. Something about gutter cleanings and termite inspections...



At my grandparents' house I am really spoiled. They let me eat lots of yogurt.



Then they dress me up as Bulgarian peasant.



Rocky and I chill out on their fancy couch.



After a long day of eating and playing we crash together.

I promise to have more videos up soon!

Smackdown

My pal Cassidy came over this past weekend. She's almost one year old now! She is almost as big as me now, but I still dominate her in a wrestling match. She's got me beat at tug of war though...

Storytime

My Boxer friend Cassidy has a human sister named Caitlin who is five years old. In kindergarten she wrote a story about Cassidy and I playing together. Here is her original story scanned in below. Click on the image to enlarge.



Isn't that cool? Caitlin loves watching Cassidy and I play.

Hey animal friends - check out the new feature I installed on the right sidebar. Be sure to sign my guestbook and leave a picture! -------------------->

Time for a Book Review

Daddy has so many yummy books lying around the house.

Today I decided to give one a try.



A few bites and it didn't taste that good.

Probably 'cos it was about the Yankees - what an overpriced, overhyped team!



When Daddy came home he explained to me that the book is not actually about the Major League Baseball team - it is a history of American business in post-revolutionary Mexico. He said he didn't care that I tasted it because he already read it.

Playing the Game

The game I play is called keep away. Daddy throws the frisbee and then it's my job to prevent him from getting it back. I think I do a pretty good job.

Cairo The Bouncer

Both my parents have been really busy, so here's an old video of me doing my ball bouncing tricks. Maybe they'll buy me a bouncy ball again this summer!

Early Morning Face

Yesterday I went to the doctor because my parents were concerned about my nagging cough. The doctor x-rayed my chest and luckily there are no problems there. Turns out I have allergies! They gave me some antihistamine pills which make me very sleepy.

I Think I've Outgrown This...

Hey Mom, put me down. I'm too big for this!
