i’m doing the work, i am. baby steps (literally) but there are a freakin’ ton of them
my first trip to the big city and i do stairs. woo hoo finally able to start to conquer one of my phobias. a couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Pittsburgh to visit Scooby Doo and i was a little excited and nervous on the trip down cause we were in Meg’s jeep and i didn’t quite recognize the route we were taking.
thank God mom brought baby so that i had something to calm me down after we got there because i’ve got to admit i’m not the most laid back pup you’ll ever meet:)
But i do like to try new things and new places as long as i bring my mom & dad and my baby.
spring’s been a little wet in our neck of the woods too and dad thought he would rope off some areas of my back yard so that he could get the grass to come up and eliminate some of the mud but . . . .
he didn’t tell me i wasn’t supposed to go into the roped off areas because it’s not as easy to get out and you can see Tiger (my cat sister) taunting me from the deck.
i did finally manage to escape and mom was hanging on the deck so i found my favorite outside toy to roll around till i got tired
all in all there have not been many nice days to write about so mostly i have to find ways to entertain myself inside after our walks. usually i can con dad into playing with me
until we both get tired and take a little snooze
then i have to endure a photo shoot with my camera obsessed mom until she gets “just the right close-up”

Love these photos! It’s nice to see another dog who uses a lovie toy as a pacifier, too (I assume that’s what he’s doing). I had to send you a link to my blog where you can see my Sophie with her beloved duck. Such a handsome boy you have!
