Eleventy!

Today's the day...

A long time ago, in a house a few blocks away...

The Sam was once a little baby doggie.

A puppy that liked to wear the cat's toys.

I soon turned into a boy that like to beat up girls with my brother...

and liked having girls chase me!

I've always known that wearing the right cologne for the right situation is imperative!

I've had to teach Labradors how to swim...

and how to retrieve the floaty from the water...

  

I've had to say good bye to lots of good friends....

All in all, I have to say...

These last eleven years have been filled with love and fun and joy!

Here's hoping I have eleven more!

Adventure Walkie Sans Sam!

This morning mom and I ditched Sam and went on an adventure walkie!

We can just leave our complex and walk across the street to the Colquitz River Trail.

As you can see, it snowed a little bit on the weekend.  Not to worry though, most of it's gone now!

We would try to walk this trail sometimes with Sam but he wasn't very adventurous if he didn't like something so we could only go so far...

We had to go over a bridge - Sam hates bridges so we would have had to go home if he was with us.

There were lots and lots of smells for me to check out and lots of trees and things for mom to look at.

We made it as far as this tree and then we turned around to head home.

Of course, mom had to take a couple photos of me by the river.

We had an awesome time and have decided that we're going to do this again!  When we got home, Sam and Daisy were both waiting by the door for us... I guess they missed us!

What The Santa is Going on Here???

Are you serious?  You're getting the tree out today?

Four boxes of ornaments?  

Maybe you need to get the other tree out too!

Ghost of Christmas Past?  Really?  

Is that really a Christmas ornament or were you in the marked down Halloween section again?

And no!  

We don't believe there's a Great Pumpkin at Christmas!

There are times when we are greatly concerned about the two legger in charge here...

A November Walk...

Can you believes it's already November?

All the leaves are turning purty colours...

Since I went blind we don't go on too many adventure walkies any more but there's still lots to 'see' in our own little hood.

Chinese Lanterns...

Purty Purple flowers...

I can't see the purty leaves on the ground but I can hear them crunch, crunch under my feets...

We loves the cooler weather!

Have a happy Sunday everybuddies!

Riding The Wave....

Just because you can't ride the waves anymore...

it doesn't mean you can't be the wave for somebuddy else!

A Captive Audience!

Minions...

I gots them!

The End of an Era...

Sometime during the night, Chico Kitteh had a stroke and was unable to walk any more.

Chico was a Japanese Bobtail / Maine Coon cross.  He was a big orange boy that had no tail.

He was nine years old when an obnoxious puppy named Sam came along.  Chico wasn't thrilled with the development.

At 10 and a half, another puppy named Pippen entered his life.

Eventually all three would become friends and brothers.

Chico and Daisy's final picture together, taken this morning...

August 21, 1995 - June 30, 2014

An awesome life for an awesome dude.

We're gonna miss you, brother.  See you on the other side.

Sneak Attacks!

One of the things I miss the most since going blind is fighting with Pippen.

Now all I do is sit all by myself...

Alone...

With no buddy....

Holy guacamole!  What was that?

Pippen likes sneaking up on me, lickety split like...

Ruh roh... where'd he go?

Almost got him!

Now where is he?

Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum... 

 

I smell a Pippen bum...

Now I don't...

Better watch out, Pippen!  One of these days this old, blind dawg is gonna get you!
