Holden and Phoebe

Grandma!

2009-06-21T20:27:00.000-04:00

Woo hoo, another meat eater in the house, AND one who shares!!!

Yee Haw!

2009-05-10T21:10:00.001-04:00

We had a great weekend at Topsail Beach! Sun and surf were just was this old dawg needed... and check out Phoebe... she got in the water on purpose.

Snow Day!

Soggy

2009-01-06T21:20:00.004-05:00

Geez, when is all this rain going to stop? We like lying around and all, but this is getting a bit old!

Picture of Tolerance

They better give me treats for this!

Are You Looking at Me?

2008-10-10T22:17:00.001-04:00

He eats Cheerios now. It's the best!

Finally!

2008-08-20T20:45:00.003-04:00

We are so excited that Hudson is starting to eat solid foods! We get to help with clean up! This is why dogs love kids!!!!

Time Flies

2008-08-09T14:17:00.003-04:00

Phoebe and I apologize for being remiss in updating our blog. We don't know where the time goes tending to little Hudson. It's tough work checking on him all the time, keeping him company when he nurses, and licking drool off his face. Oy, it wears an old dog out!

Who Says...

2008-07-19T20:27:00.002-04:00

... you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Tonight I impressed Mom and Dad with my ability to hop up on this ottoman, even though it moves back and forth. Baby Hudson seemed to enjoy my stunt, too. He laughed and then kicked me while Dad took this photo.

On the Job

2008-06-23T19:56:00.004-04:00

They have me babysitting again. I hope there are extra treats tonight!

Sheesh!

2008-05-17T21:20:00.004-04:00

If it wasn't enough that I had to keep an eye on Hudson while we were driving back from the beach, Phoebe decided to use me as a pillow.

Now We're Talking

2008-05-13T23:18:00.006-04:00

Phoebe and I are loving life! We're spending the week at Topsail Beach. Dad has to do work during the day and Mom is always checking on Hudson, so we dogs have taken it upon ourselves to make sure some of the Younger clan does some serious vacationing.

When we're not going for walks or chilling out on the deck, we're taking good solid naps. Hudson likes to join us for these...

Whew!

2008-04-20T20:47:00.000-04:00

It's tough work taking care of a newborn!

A Dog's Work is Never Done

2008-04-12T15:16:00.001-04:00

Joy, now they have me babysitting!

Home Decorating

2008-04-10T15:45:00.002-04:00

I've decided to be a hearth decoration - what do you think?

The Upside

2008-03-23T11:24:00.001-04:00

Hudson may steal Mom and Dad's attentions from us, but at least we're going for lots more walks these days!

Overseeing Things

2008-03-20T21:55:00.002-04:00

We suppose he's not so bad.

New Member of the Pack

2008-03-16T17:56:00.002-04:00

Phoebe and I returned from a few days visiting with Gracie and Otis to discover that Mom and Dad went out and got a new little human. Talk about a surprise! The little guy's name is Hudson, although Dad has already mistakenly called him Holden. (Great!) He's actually not too bad... he doesn't scream as much as some little humans we've met and Phoebe thinks he smells really good. I'm just glad he's not interfering with us getting our treats!

Moby

2008-02-19T20:51:00.002-05:00

Dad has gone off the deep end.

BFF

2008-01-31T20:11:00.000-05:00

It only took a little over a year, but Holden has finally agreed to be my best buddy. He doesn't growl at me much, plays with me all the time, and even lets me sleep right next to him. He's the best!

In other news, I have finally figured out how to get around on the slippery bamboo floors our evil parents put in. As you can see, I have resumed my daily job of taking all the toys out of my toy box. Mom sure is slow putting them all back these days!

Snow Day

2008-01-20T12:07:00.001-05:00

Yesterday it SNOWED - wahoo! We were all hoping for more, but we'll take what we can get. By all, I mean Mom, Dad, Phoebe, and me, plus Gracie and Otis. G & O are staying with us while their parents are in the Galapagos. Mom got all us dogs worn out on walks before the snow started, and then we all hunkered down when the flurries started. Later on, Dad built a big fire and Mom roasted marshmallows for us. I know, we have it tough, eh?

Happy the Diving Dog

2008-01-02T20:53:00.000-05:00

We just returned from a fun week at Gracie and Otis' house - we love playing with them! While we were there, Mom and Dad went to the Bahamas. They told us about a cool dog they met there named Happy, and showed us this video of him. It was so cool, we thought we'd share it with you!

Chaos

2007-12-22T09:28:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure what chaos means, but Mom seems to be using the word a lot. Holden says it has something to do with how things have been the last week with Gracie and Otis staying with us. I guess it means something like fun, because I've been having a blast. Otis and I wrestle all the time, with little breaks to recover now and then. We wrestle on the bamboo floors (slippery!), on the carpet, on the couch... sometimes all of them at once! When we're not wrestling, we sometimes play with Holden and Gracie, but they don't put up with us for too long. We've also been going for loads of walks. It's been cold out lately, and that gets us all jazzed up. We love winter!

Mom used that chaos word again a few minutes ago, when she took these photos. She said, "I will title these, Post Chaos."

The Normal Life

2007-12-01T09:22:00.001-05:00

As you can see, things in the Younger household have returned to normal. Yesterday, we spent the day with Grandma G. I really enjoyed her recliner and Phoebe was pleased to find her hedgehog was still there.

This morning, we played hide and seek on Mom and Dad's bed, and now we're getting ready to go on a hike with the Sullivan kids. More later!

Homecoming

2007-11-17T10:33:00.000-05:00

Omigosh, I am SO excited that Holden is back home! He looks really silly with that blue thing around his neck and he smells kinda funny, but otherwise he's my same old big brother - he already growled at me for messing with him.

We're so glad to have him here and he seems pretty pleased about it, too!
