Big Dog Fun in Rainy Texas

 

When we got to Texas, I was a little worried about meeting my Uncles Cowboy and Rocky. Arty told me all about them...and said they were pretty big! 

  Mama said she was sure my Uncles were going to love me and I would love them! 

(Mama apologizes for the dark fuzzy pictures.  It rained or was cloudy every day we were in Texas)

 

Here are my Uncles waiting to meet me!! Some of you may remember Uncle Puppy Cowboy, he stayed with Dory and the Boyz when he was a wee lad!  The big guy in the back is my Uncle Rocky, he's a three year old Labradoodle!

Mama brought me out into the living room and let me say hello to Uncle Cowboy. 

He was very gentle around me!

 I guess my head smelled good, cause he kept sniffing it!

Mama couldn't get many pictures of me and Uncle Rocky...cause we were always moving! Mama made a little video of us playing....

You can also watch it HERE on YouTube

Needless to say, we all had a blast hanging out together!!

 

 I even wore out Uncle Rocky!!

Uncle Cowboy Puppy doesn't play much anymore, but he has the bestest Smiley!!

Tune in later this week when I tell you about the other Uncle I made furiends with...he was more my size!

Monday Moments with Jakey

 Mama thought it would be nice to do do a howliday photo shoot on the front porch...

I don't understand why I have to wear this hat and scarf...it's 60 degrees out here!

 

I do look pretty handsome tho, don't ya think?

Nature Friday Flashback - Rosy in da Rosies

Rosy here today with some pictures of some flowers I saw during my October trip to Texas. 

These were some miniature rose bushes we found at a rest area in west Texas.  Mama got all kinds of excited about taking pictures of "Rosy in the Rosies"

But guess what??

SHE FORGOT THE TREATS!

Angel Dory ALWAYS whispers in my ear when Mama forgets the treats..

"NO COOKIE, NO LOOKIE!" Rosy.

Well, Angel Dory does know best soooooooo

While Mama did get some nice pictures....

...of some pretty roses...

This is the best picture she got of Rosy with da Rosies...

You have to be strict when training the Mamas...Right???

 Show us your nature! It can be a picture of your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a walkie! Any kind of nature picture will do(does not have to include a pet)!

Thankful for Family Time Thursday

 Jakey here today to tell you about our Family Christmas Card Photo Shoot...it all started with snuggles on the back porch!

 As you can see...it is difficult for me to get everyone to focus on the camera

 In fact, it is nearly impossible!

 ...and some days I kinda wish I was an only dog...

 

I tried to keep everyone on task...but it was impossible!

Finally, I just relaxed, enjoyed the sights and was thankful we had all the family together!

 Sometimes, it's just better to keep the pawrents out of your pictures!

 We are joining Brian for the 
Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Arty's Wordless Wednesday Wish

Wrapping Presents on Tongue Out Tuesday

I got started on my howliday gift wrapping this weekend.  

Oh boy...these smell soooo nommy, Arty is REALLY going to like them!!

I asked Mama if maybe I should taste test them...You know, to make sure they are as good as they smell??

 She thought it would be a bad idea to give Arty an open bag of treaties....

I don't know Mama...they smell REAAAALLLLYYY good!

What do you think, should I try just one??

 After reading everyone's comments last week, it looks as though the majority of commenters were in favor of a Blogville being managed by the citizens!  We think this is a wonderful idea and will keep the Blogville Records here with us for now.  I can never express how honored I am to have been Mayor of Blogville, it is an experience I will always remember. We look forward to having fun in Blogville for many years to come!!
