Pippen's Rule of Snuggling

Pippen has one rule with regards to snuggling with mom...

Snuggling with mom can only happen if:


A.  She can not easily access the flashy beast, or



B.  She is sleeping.


I'm starting to think he's onto something with that rule!  Although it could be worse... I could be getting squished like Chico Kitteh!

How NOT To Be Obedient!


Yesterday, we went out for our Sunday walkie to the park across the street.  Of course, mom had to bring the flashy beast and wanted to take bunches of pictures of the Sam.

I can't really argue with this as I am one studly specimen of dawg and who wouldn't want to see this???

Mom had this idea to take pictures of me running toward her so she went off a little way and knelt down...

"Sam! Come here!"



As you can see, I did look at her... and wondered what she was on about.  Kerazy Lady...


"Sam!  Come this way!"



"Sam!  Look here!"


What?  What should I look at?  Where?  What's going on???


"SAM!!!  COME HERE!"


Well... another failed photo shoot for the mom.


After nine years, you'd think she'd know that I don't listen!

Adventure Walkie - On Top of a Mountain!

So mom said that we'd do a forest walkie today for a change but she decided we would do something else instead.  We went up to Mt. Tolmie so that we could check out the views on another sunny January day.

Here we are at the viewpoint and if you look really close you can see that mountain from yesterday, Mt. Baker in Washington State.


While we were checking out the sites, mom went and zoomed in on the mountain again.  That's a pretty awesome mountain, right?


After we left the viewpoint area, we went down some stairs to check out some of the trails.


Once again, it was pretty quiet.  We didn't see any other dawgs and only a few other peoples.  Most of the peoples we did see were eating their lunches in their cars - you'd think they'd get out and get some sun and fresh airs, wouldn't you?


Anyways... you can see the whole city from where we were and we never thought Victoria was so big!  This picture is looking to the north...


There's lots of places to run, places to sniff and trees to pee on!


Here's some more of the city, looking south-west...


and this is looking more to the west... we think if we look hard enough you could see our house, maybe..


I tried to find it but it's a long way away from Mt. Tolmie.


Pippen was a total daredevil today... climbing rocks like a kerazy dawg!


Then, just when we were communing with nature...


Mom said, "Hey..."


"Do you dawgs wanna go to the magic cheeseburger window?"


And, well, you don't need to ask us twice!  We lickety splitted right passed mom and on to the car!


Whoo Hoo, Let's go!

The weather is turning and on our way home we could see the clouds rolling in... we just might get our forest walkie in before mom goes back to work!

A Walkie Along the Ocean's Edge

Yesterday was a bright and sunshiney day, so mom said we should go for a drive down to the ocean to check it out.

We wanted to go to our new 'regular' spot but someone was flying a kite and mom knows how scary those are so we moved down a little farther.  We had to follow this sidewalk to get down to the main walkway...  first one way...


then the other.


Just getting to the walkway, they have these divider thingies and I insisted on jumping up on it so I could show everyone my awesome balancing beam skills!


There was lots of driftwood all over the place so we had to check it out... it smell like fishes!


Here's the walkway... and even though it was such a nice day out, there were hardly any peoples wandering around!

Notice how I'm wandering over to the wall?  Well, I wanted to walk on the grass!  Mom didn't think I could jump that high... after all, she says, I'm now nine years old so I shouldn't be able to do that anymore...


Really, mom?  I might be getting up there in years but the boy still gots it!


Pippen was shocked at this guy who was running by...  He's wearing shorts!  and it's January!  In CANADA!!!


After seeing that we had to get back to the car because we ALL thought that was kerazy!  So we continued on to see what else we could see...


We stopped the car so that we could climb these rocks and check out the view from here...  pretty nice if we say so ourselves!


And this here is what mom was hoping to see...

That's Mt. Baker and it's far away in Washington State.  We're pretty sure we wouldn't be able to climb to the top of that mountain! 


Mom's on vacation until Monday and she tells us that tomorrow we'll be doing a forest walkie for a change.  We can hardly wait!

Happy New Year!

As you can see, I went to a kerazy NYE pawty last night...


Try and keep it down out there... I think I had one too many!


I'll be sleeping off my milkbone coma today but Pippen and I are wishing everyone the best year ever!

Happy New Year!
