Murray's Water Slide

As dangerous as this looks, gumby legs did not break his neck!

Hiking & Swimming

It was such a beautiful day yesterday that Mom decided to take us ALL hiking at Pilot Mountain. Look at those fall colors!

Ellie and Murray relaxed on the way there...

We started off with some hiking and some weed sniffing.

Then we went to the river for some swimming.


Ellie was a little scared of the water so she hung out with this tree.

I, of course, got wet and then ran around in the dirt!

Jack followed me!

Murray couldn't keep up so he decided to do something else...

Go down the "water slide" over and over! Mom was laughing so hard!

Ellie got really tired and had to be carried back to the car. Wimp!

This is the "after photo". Mom had just told me I was getting a bath as soon as we got home. I can't imagine why??

Here I am getting clean. I look so pretty now! I'll post some clean pictures of me later.

Weekend Fun

Here are some pics from our early morning adventure to the park. Mom locked us in the baseball diamond and we went crazy!


Murray looks possessed!


But we've obviously gotten over our differences...

Ellie was too little and slow to keep up with us!

And what was Jack doing? Waiting for someone to throw the frisbee, of course!

Meanwhile, Ellie was still just sitting there!


And then she wanted to cuddle with me! I didn't put up with that for long!

Where'd Jack go?

Shocking! He was chasing his frisbee!

Three amigos...

Ellie was ready to go! She got tired with those little, stubby legs!

Meet Ellie

I guess Mom decided we didn't have enough craziness in the house and brought home another foster! She said she couldn't resist the "merled cuteness". I'm not sure I agree but meet Ellie!


She even gets to sleep in the bed!


And she stole my new blanket from Grandma!


Murray can't even look! He wanted that blanket really bad!

Christmas continues!

Grandma and Grandpa are here celebrating an early Christmas with us because they are going to Texas in December. They brought us lots of toys! Mom got some stuff too, including this shirt, that she made me wear around the house!


On Saturday we decided to take a Christmas hike around Pilot Mt. Mom made us all sit in the back because Grandma and Grandpa had to ride in the car, too. We thought it was REALLY fun!

Well, Jack was a little nervous about the arrangement...

Here is Pilot Mt! We walked all the way up and around it.

This is my Grandpa and Grandma!

View from the trail...

What a beautiful day!

All that hiking tuckered me out. I needed a good nap on Mom's bed to recuperate!

Present Time!

Mom let us "open" one of our new Christmas presents! I chose the Tony the Tiger toy.


Jack chose the flying squirrel!


I started with the usual process of taking out Tony's eyes.


Jack started chewing off the squirrel's tail.


It was super fun!


Luckily Murray doesn't know how to play with toys yet so I didn't have to share!!

Christmas in September!

Mommy's foster group got a big donation of toys and treats this week! So we got to take some of it home to share with Murray. Even the kitties got presents! It's like Christmas!







This is what our treat jar currently looks like! Pretty sad excuse, Mom!

Meet Murray!

On Saturday, Mom brought home a new foster dog named Murray. He's super cute with beautiful blue eyes! He's been very busy telling us about his past life "on the streets". He's never been in a house or ridden in a car or seen his reflection in a mirror. He also was complaining about eating out of the garbage but that doesn't seem too bad to me! I love the garbage can! :)

"I'm so happy!"

Murray really likes kitties! He just follows them around and licks their heads. Wierdo!


Things were going great until Murray and I got in a little scuffle. Mom tried to break it up and got bit instead. She had to go to the ER and get stitches. I felt SO bad but she's forgiven us. At least until she gets the bill...

Go Blue!!

Every year around this time Mom gets all excited and starts yelling out things like "Go Blue" and "Let's Go Wolverines!". She also gets out my "football outfit" and makes me do a really long photoshoot. She tells me I look SO cute, so I just put up with it and smile! I don't know what a Wolverine is but they must be cool because they make Mom SOO happy!


Aren't I cute??


Go Blue!


Is the game on yet?


Even Jack is ready!

Mom let him wear my hat for awhile but it made his head REALLY heavy!



And he couldn't keep his eyes open!

I thought it was hilarious! ha ha ha....

But seriously Mom! Can we be done with pictures now?

We have to practice our defense!

Tackle!!

Touchdown!

Busted! Dad came home and told Jack he wasn't allowed to wear Maize & Blue! He said something about Jack being a Husker and made him put some red on!

It was a great Saturday though! The Wolverines beat the Irish! Go Blue!
