What I've Been Up To...

Happy New Year!

I want to wish all my friends a Happy New Year! Thank you for your Christmas cards - I enjoyed reading every single one. I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday season. Here's hoping 2008 is a great one. I've already started celebrating - I just ate a stuffed lion. Its white puffy remains are scattered throughout the house. My Daddy snapped this picture of me just before I devoured its tail.

Santa's Delivery Crew

I pull the sleigh while my pug pal Max munches on the edible gifts.

It's getting cold out there...

My fur is very short and I get cold very easily. During the winter months I curl up to keep warm. At night I sneak under the covers of my parents' bed.

What do you guys do to keep warm?

Happy Holidays!

I know this movie was made last year...but the great thing about the holiday season is recycling. Re-posting old videos is akin to pulling out old Christmas decorations from your garage or basement.

Home Shopping TV Star

A few weeks ago my mommy became addicted to this channel called Gems TV. People in fancy clothes sit at a desk all day long and talk about jewelry. It's very boring. Daddy - being his cynical self - refers to this network as one of the many opiates of the masses.

Yesterday she bought an aquamarine ring from a TV presenter who was wearing antlers. This reminded her of my recent antler photo, so she emailed the Gems TV folks the picture. Within literally two minutes of sending the email they splashed my photo on live TV and read my mommy's email!

I would have preferred to make my television debut on Animal Planet or Fox Soccer Channel, but this will do...

Reindeer Games

I spent all afternoon addressing envelopes. Boy, my paws are tired. Now I'm ready to send all my canine blogger friends their Christmas cards.

Thanksgiving with Cairo & Max

In addition to some delicious turkey, Max and I received an even better treat...beer!

Three Years Old

Today is my third birthday. Here I am in a reflective mood staring at myself in the mirror. Daddy says I do this a lot. He thinks it is really funny. I swear, I'm not vain. I just enjoy seeing things in reverse.

P.S. Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone!

A Dog's Life

This weekend I got a long deserved bath. I hadn't had one since before the wildfires. Daddy said I was very dirty - probably all that ash from the fires was caked in my coat. Now I'm nice and shiny. Here I am on my parents' bed after my bath...




Here I am giving my Daddy a kiss to thank him for my wonderful bath.

Ten Dogs that Changed the World

Someday I hope to make this list. That is, after I have successfully led my Boxer Rebellion to victory.

Canines of the world unite - you have nothing to lose but your leashes!

Happy Halloween!

Last year I didn't dress up. The year before I was a bee.

This year I'm a 70's funk musician. Damn I look cool.

Did any of you dress up?

Southern California Fire Update

I'm here reporting on the fires raging throughout Southern California. On Sunday night the Irvine-Santiago fire was about three miles from my house. It has since moved east back into the hills, but the air is very dirty and there is ash everywhere!

Please keep all the animals in your thoughts and prayers as many families have been forced to evacuate their homes. The Humane Society has more info - they are accepting donations which will go toward helping animals affected by this disaster.
