It's all about friends...

Well, if you caught Farley's Saturday blog, you know we had a complete afternoon of fun and our Moms hung out together too. The day provided us with quality play time, good friends and unfortunately, a major amount of rain. Now normally, my Mom and Farley's Mom would put the "kabosh" on us wandering around in the rain.... it's apparently that whole muddy feet, "not on my clean floor" thing.....but Saturday was strangely different. Not only did our Moms let us play in the rain, they actually took us for a walk in it.....pure heaven..... we stepped in every puddle we encountered, drenching our hairy little toes...what bliss!

Here is my "Mom has lost her mind face".....

Look how wet we are -- Farley and I couldn't believe such nonsense was being allowed, but we savored every minute of it... days like this do not come along too often. Check it out, Farley has naturally curly hair.

What?!?.....no, wait .... we don't want to go home...

Oh man.....c'mon, I know Farley's Dad -- he won't be mad that we got the car all wet.... he loves us...I think maybe even when we are wet. But, off we went to get dry. What a good time we had while it lasted.

I love the little people

Howdy friends. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I have spent the last week or so getting to know a little person that has taken up temporary residence in the house behind mine. She is something they refer to as a "grandaughter" and she is just my size. Actually, I am waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than her, but when I sit like a good boy, we see the world eye to-eye. She lets me lick her fingers and nose through the fence and she has this tiny little dog named "Bella". Bella has been staying at her grandparents house for awhile now. My humans tell me it is something to do with the little girl's parents got "transferred" to a different state and they live in a "no dog" apartment until they can find a house that they want to buy.

Bella is OK, but gee whiz, she is so tiny.... what kind of dog is that?!? Here is Bella, the little person and me....

I have grown quite fond of the little person.... but my humans tell me she is not going to be in the backyard too much longer... look how fun she is though....

I told my Mom and Dad I want to keep her...... they said "no". Parents, what can I do with them?!?

Wordless Wednesday

New Jersey bound....

Greetings friends.... once again, it's been a long time. My Mom doesn't mean to be a slacker, she just gets real busy so I just forgive her.

You all remember our Sophie.... if not, here is a little refresher. She is the girlfriend of my human's first Golden. Mom and I stop by to visit her lots of times when we walk and she still comes over every Christmas to exchange gifts. She is a sweet and very pretty older lady.. she's 13 now and we will always love her. Her Dad moved to New Jersey (work stuff) a couple years ago and her Mom stayed behind so that Sophie's human sisters could graduate from High School here in Michigan. Well, her youngest human sister graduated in June. So, Sophie and her Mom had to leave for New Jersey. Her human sisters will stay here because they are both attending college in Michigan, but are not home enough to take care of Sophie.... not to mention Sophie's Mom would NEVER leave her behind so off they went to New Jersey last Tuesday.

We said our goodbyes the weekend before they left and it was quite sad. My humans love Sophie as if she was their own and they are VERY fond of her humans too so it was tough on all of us. Sophie loves my Dad... when she was younger, her Mom could drop her leash a block away from my house and Sophie would come running down the street to see my Dad.

We hope that Sophie can come back at Christmas, but in the mean time, we all miss her and her humans alot.

Here are some pictures from Sophie's pre-New Jersey visit ...... I will let the photos speak  for themselves but let me just say that the first one is my favorite... she is still one pretty lady even as she ages -- I think you will agree.....

Bye Soph.... hope we will see you soon
