Getting Ready

Mom is beginning to decorate for Christmas and she was taking pictures of me with my beautiful Christmas ribbons that I got from Hana's mom (she is on my blog list).



This is my stocking. It came from the Dr. Seuss "Grinch" theme.



This is my late brother, Buster's, stocking.



This is my mom's stocking. Her Aunt made it for her when she was born. It is VERY old!!



I'm tired of the posing for pictures. Just "rub ma bella"!!!

Recovering

I've been on a limited diet with no treats and have been feeling sorry for myself. Here I am sulking. But I have been better and my poo is solid!! I've been in a much better mood today. Hurray!



On my walk today I chased a squirrel into a tree and then barked and barked at him. I love to chase little critters.



Can you find him? You might be able to see his tail. He's was scared of me!!



There are lots of geese on Parker's Lake today. There is a light coating of ice on parts. Winter is coming. This is one of my favorite places to walk.



This is a beautiful oak that we pass on our walks to the lake. I wouldn't stay still to be in the picture. Too many things to smell!

Saturday Night Clive -- All about Poo

This is me eating rabbit poo. It is a special delicacy that I hope you have had the chance to enjoy. Mommy has been worried today because I had blood in my poo. I have to go without food today and start on special food tomorrow. It is probably caused because of some loose stools I've been having.



Mommy went to the nephew's birthday party. This picture pretty much says it all. Face full of chocolate and snot.



These are Isak's brother's the twins. They are full of poo too. They were very smiley and urpy tonight. Lots of coo's too.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We woke up to a beautiful light fluffy snowfall.



I love the snow!!!!



This is a neighbor I don't really know, but he was sure happy to see us walking by his house today. Cute, isn't he?



We are so thankful for all our friends, loving family and a warm, safe home. We are so thankful that we live in a country where our biggest worry today was, "Where are Mommy's boots?!!!"
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Love, Clive and Kathy

Tummy Rub Tuesday

Come on and rub me tummy!!


Me in my teddy bear cut -- how can you resist?




How about clean shaven? Rub my tummy!!!



How about in my full winter coat? So luxurious to rub!



This is Buster, my late brother, whom we miss so much.
He loved tummy rubs too!!! A mass of fur!

Friday Night Favorites

My mom says she loves this pictures because it shows my ear tufts. She just loves those. I don't get it, but she's kind of weird that way.



This is a favorite picture and memory of my mom's first dog, Tink. She got him when she was 18 (pictured here) -- and he was only about 6 weeks. He as taken too soon from his mother but she helped him thrive until 15 years old. Thanks for the love Tink.




This is another favorite of my moms, Jonny Lang. It's not the best picture but she was in first row at a small venue and just loving it. She likes his tufts too. :)

The days are getting colder and darker in MN. I sometimes sit by my sliding glass door where I can get some sun.... or at least try to.





On really warm days we call it the "beach"!

Autumn in MN

Most the leaves are off of the trees now. Here I am by a massive pile of leaves. I love to sniff and pee on all these leaves! Fun!



Surprisingly, there are still some flowers around -- like these Snap Dragons.





There are still berries on this tree. Hope it will help feed all those little critters I like to chase!

Puppy Uglies!

We've been emailing with friends about what some people call the "puppy ugglies". It is once the pups have grown out of their very cute, cuddly stage and are entering into adolescence. I dug back and found a pick of my beautiful Clive and his late brother Buster:



Clive is on the left and Buster is on the right. Our friend John Tewksbury who started the PeskiPix list wrote me after I sent in this picture that my dogs were sure in there "uggly puppy' stage. I was soooo upset! I never once even thought of these babies as being ugly. I now look back and see the gangly bodies, thin coats and big ears. I forgive you John Tewks! (What you all don't see is under the afghan they are sitting on is covering the couch they are literally eating and gutting like a stuffed play animal!!!!)

Smile.....

A friend emailed this to me today. Just love it! I have enjoyed watching the birds migrate this week.



My first thought was this was 2 black birds chasing a hawk or something, but not sure. Any birders out there? BirdChick?

The 3 Muskateers!

This was taken many years ago when my brother, Buster, was still alive. We lost him at age 6 due to what the vet believed was a brain tumor. I'm on the left, Buster is on the right and our mommy is in the middle. We miss Buster very, very much.



Here we are playing the in bathtub. Buster is the one doing all the splashing and I'm cheering him on. That was a lot of fun!!

This is the nephew, Buzz Lightyear!
