BYE BYE TREE !! BYE BYE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!

WE ARE SOOOOO FREE !!!! Boy, Mom and Dad didnt waste any time taking down the "stuff".. Trust me Im not complaining and I dont think Madden cares either.. That tree was in our running space and was looking p r e t t y sad.. (I would never tell mommy that tho.. she worked hard getting it to look nice..) anyhow the house is back to normal and she mentioned a new year coming and how great it will be.. (she also mentioned something called snow) but I havent had the chance to see it or play in it yet.. I dont like the cold too much so we will just have to see how it goes.. and I also hope they get nicer coats for us instead of those very ehem colorful windbreakers.. Im a navy blue girl and Madden to seems like he would look nice in red.. but we'll see... Its Christmas vaca from school and I have yet to play with Kendyl.. she has been at her friends house for 2 days. HMMM, think she will today.. I miss her. Here are some new pictures from over the past few weeks of us.. Enjoy!!!

Its looking to be alot like Christmas!!

Welp, it is Xmas time of the yr.. My mom and dad got a tree.. I gave her a hard time getting the ornaments up and lights and garland.. but she assured me I was NOT to touch it once it was up RELSE !!! So, I have been good so far, very tempting...

They also went out and bought us "windbreakers" at first I thought it was Halloween, or maybe a parade I needed a costume for or just a plain ole joke! but nope.. they thought it was CUTE.. and here we are.. Dont you dare laugh... They hung them in the closet ofter trying it on us and I hope they forget its in there.. U_G_L_Y !!!!! Anyhow.. I hope you enjoy the pics..

OK Its official !!!

OK it is finally official! my lil bro isnt my lil bro anymore.. he has finally passed me in weight.. BUT - I will have you know I am still the alpha and ALWAYS WILL BE.. (I keep telling myself this) .. He is 44 lbs and I am 42 lbs.. its only 2 lbs but still.. Its official.. I knew it would happen but I didnt think it would be this soon!! My daddy is very excited for him.. says he is still his lil guy tho.. Im ok with it I guess...

My mommy went out this past weekend and bought us some new toys.. She got the cheapo kind that lasts only an hour or so but they are the best because I tear them apart.. She got a ladybug and a crab... and some kind of link ring thingy Madden liked - OH and both my mommy and daddy got us a new green cuz.. this one is HUGE !!!! and makes a different squeak than the smaller one.. gives my daddy a headache.. lmpo... Here are a few pics of us with our new toys while some lasted :) OH and the effects of what the house looks like when we are done playing! poor mommy needs to clean it all up.. she doesnt mind that much I dont think, as long as we dont break anything!!!

ok - on my last nerve....

Madden oh Madden... I love to play with you but sometimes your voice goes right through me pal.. I know why mommy takes excedrin all the time.. I wish they had doggy ones.. I just wanted to see mommy on the other side of the gate... thats all buddie!! The picture is of us sleeping on the couch last night.. I was falling OFF !!!! lmpo

My lil bro Madden as a pup!

Here he is.. in the tub nekkid! How rude! ha ha ha.. Im glad it wasnt just me :)

I have to admit.. when he first came home he was all wrinkly like a little old man with lots of skin hanging.. lmpo.. but he is so handsome now.. here he is....

ME as a small pup!

Here is some random pics of me (Dakota) when I was smaller.. my mommy has so many.. I'm not too crazy about the bathtub one but ok.. you can see........

Still tired...

Boy did I have a great day yesterday playing.. I am still a little tired.. I slept all day yesterday when we got home and when it was time for bed I didnt even have the strength to have mommy and daddy chase me around the bed to get into my crate for the night.. I just went right in.. I saw mommy's face light up and it was just the perfect ending to a perfect day...

NOW, I am slowly getting my energy back and Madden is ready to go.. Since we have the "you know... the GATE" I plan to hang outside for a while with my lil bro... then Kendyl will come home from her half day of school and play with us more if she is feeling better, she has a cough.. but for now I am being good (Madden too) ... more later....

Day With JONES !! Isnt he handsome!!!

I am SO HAPPY ! Today we got to play with my good friend Jones! Not only is he fun to play with and run around with but he is extremely handsome!!! I wish the winter weather wasnt coming because I could see myself playing with him alot more! Madden is cool, but he is my lil bro.. and he tends to get on my nerves quick.. but JONES !! he is something else.. and I like his mom and dad too; they bring treats and toys and bottles of cold water to drink... my lil bro is getting real big and he is now keeping up with the chase me game.. I heard some say that Madden will be bigger than me and Jones.. I am pretty sure he will, so we need to box him around now while we can LMPO !!!

WHY I ASK !?

I dont get it.. things were wonderful before.......THE GATE !!! It was a perfect night too.. Daddy came home.. I beaned him a bit.. mommy was cooking supper and Madden and I begged as usual.. I occasionally pee downstairs (where I have since day of of my arrival) and NOW THIS?? I heard them saying something about a gate.. I didnt think much of it.. then they left and came back with a huge box and daddy was busy all of a sudden.. THEN there it was, a cut off to all that I know and love.. no more running up and down the stairs off the office.. no more pee'ing on my favorite hall.. no more dropping my cuz and seeing it tumble all the way down so I can then slam Madden into the wall on each step to chase it.. I feel like my life has been taken away.. why does mommy seem thrilled... SO, of course I needed to go pee and poopie.. so what do I do.. sit at the gate looking at my stairs with my eyes watering.. THEN, I remembered the door with the bell.. so I gave in and rang it.. and to my surprise I was let outside quickly and mommy kept saying GOOD GIRL !!!!! I liked it!!! but here is a couple of videos of me and my bro trying to pull at some heartstrings.. didnt work.. she just sat there... Im not good with change but Madden seems to cry about it lol I tried to lick my way through... here it is....

Happy morning.. RAIN RAIN RAIN!!! Its so crappy out.. but I heard from Madden that its supposed to be a nice weekend.. (he saw it on the morning news).. So we have gone 4 days of indoor play.. and I am starting to get a little grouchy... or I could just sleep away the day and cross my paws for sun tomorrow.. Im kinda tired now so Im gonna go and curl up on the couch and rest.. YAWN...

Smile....

This is so cute of my lil bro after a busy day of playing.. I was asleep under him when this was shot.. ! My mommy couldnt hold in her laugh any longer.. and woke us up.. only for a second .... I wish it was lighter so see him better.. but you will get the idea LMP (paws)O !!!

Pics of us!!

OK HERE WE ARE !!! With my mommy and Daddy! Are they great or what! ok here is the deal my name is Dakota and I am a "flashy fawn" My lil bro Madden is a "brindle" with a black mask.. he looks real mean at times but dont worry he is a big wimp.. I keep him in line.. He is almost as big as me now and he Im sure will be 4 times my size since he is only 5 months now.. I have a few month on him but I am quite petite :) My daddy uses the term "tank" when mentioning Madden.. I just dont see it.. Anyhow - this is my intro post and I hope I can keep you all entertained with the crazy things we do.. So sit back and enjoy..
