I need ketchup please.

Mom, make sure I get my junior cheeseburger and sea salt fries.  Didn't you want anything for you or the others?- Buddy Love

I have my jock strap on...

And I am ready to play some football! -Buddy

What? I am not supposed to have the good football?  Try to take it away from me now! (All balls are mine. All balls are mine).

Someone HIKE me the damn ball.   My mouth is too small to get a good grip!

I am coming, Michael Jordan style...

My tongue is hanging out and I know I am a thing of beauty in action. Now give me the ball! - Bea

(Quickly. Someone is coming up behind me).

Happy Birthday Mom! - Dixie and Domino

Whoop Whoop!  

Oh, crap. Aren't you like 266 in dog years?

Sometimes it is just hard to get comfortable....

As you can see, Maisy has trouble.

Boxers can sleep half standing up.  Maisy loves nap time, the tearing up of the beds, the snoring, the "drop and sleep" wherever she feels like it.

Why are you sitting all the way over there?

Okay, maybe I did fart, and maybe you need to drive. But still, HOLD ME. - Buddy Love

This way, this way.

"I smell, hmmm, a poodle with a hot blonde woman walking in the same direction, 5 minutes ahead of us.

Run daddio, run, so we can catch them. Put down that cane and fly".- Roscoe

I know this looks bad...

But the others were not eating their bones so after I was done with mine, I went on a hunt and LOOK what I found not being chewed fast enough! -Samson (with his sweet brown eyes).

Check my diaper.

I just took a big pee and I am wet again.

(Please note Sam was able to sneak his nub into the shot).

DING.

Your Cupcake is ready.

Here we are mom.

"Just chillin on the back of your couch with my bro Sam".

"Whatchadoin?" - Buddy

]

(Sam and I have this covered, obviously.)

Not again....

Put in "jail" in the kitchen. Banished from the living room because I ripped apart their precious couch. And peed on their speaker.  And chased the cat. And knocked over the TV.  Good thing they came back when they did as that room needed a complete makeover. - Jack

(Five minutes is just not enough time to do good work).

What exactly is that dad?

It smells funny, has sticky stuff all over its hands and face, has very little fur. I am not sure I like it.- Max

Yoga by Sam

"Okay class. In the upward dog position, let your legs fly open and show what you've got. Often".  - Sam

"For those who are advanced in your practice, touch your nose to your privates and HOLD".

"I get so embarrassed...

When mom tries to dress like me. Our visors match and so do our little jackets (I do not know if she has on blue diapers too).  I hope none of my friends see us". - Poodle Doodle

Ah, remember when?

"Do you remember when we first met here Willa?  This was a dog beach, not so many people peeing in the water, and I spotted you right away and knew you would be my dog wife. You look the same now as the day we met." -Rex

Ah, smell the ocean air....

"I see land.  Straight ahead, steady as she goes Captain". - Buddy, on his first boat ride. Ever.

"Stop it dad!

You cannot make me look at that outfit.  It will make me colorblind like her". - Rufus

(Those patterns. It hurts my eyes.)

ZZZZ

Mud on my nose and feet, pee in the corners, sore muscles from playing, drops in my eyes, soft bed to rest, raspy smoker's bark, and long whiskers on this handsome face. Check. I can sleep for I am HOME.

Buddy. Permanently adopted April 2012.- By Sam (and family)

I call it "the banister slide"...

"I love to slide down the banister. Mom does it naked when daddy is at work and the doorbell rings.

I rate myself an 8 on the dismount. Nice landing, stuck the dismount, however, I partially missed the mat".- Mattie (rescue from breeder)

Pssst. Hey human...

"Can you hand me my bone? I cannot reach it from here". -Ellen

"Also, be a dear and fetch me my matching blanket".

High Five at the IHOP

A stranger sees my dogs and immediately approaches them, especially Sam.  Oddly, I see my dogs as guard dogs, watching over my truck and my possessions while I step away.  They see it like an ice cream truck, we drive around, they bark while sticking out their heads for petting. Petting is free.

"You want a high five? I can do a high five." - Sam

"Look mom. I am giving high fives to my new daddy".- Sam

(PS- if you look closely, down by Sam, you can see Buddy checking out the stranger.  Buddy is a little shy, not Sam).

Hi. My name is Oakley.

Many think I am named after Annie Oakley because my daddy likes guns. But if you look closely, you can tell I am a boy by my haircut and my alpha male dominant personality. - Oakley, a boy dog.

Easter Basket Packed and Ready to Go, Go.

I have my Easter Basket all packed to go see Grandma.  Little Buddy and his fire hose cannot be trusted in her house. Or any house.

So we have two belly bands and assorted colors/absorbency maxi pads for little willy.  I went to Big Lots and bought 72 green maxi pads.  Never thought I would be buying them for my 2 year old son.  But we did.

=================================================

"Have YOU seen the Easter Bunny?  I was a good boy and want my colored eggs to eat.  Some say I look a little like the Easter Bunny, 'cept my ears are bigger". - Buddy

Excuse me Sam...

May I sit here?

Thank you. You give me such a good comfortable ride on your knee.

I hope you don't mind.

Ah, my queen.

I am pleased to make your acquaintance.  Please allow me to kiss your hand.  As your humble servant, when do I get my treat? - Samson

Tag Team. Hello.

What the heck? I go out of town and my dog sitter sends me this shot. Sam appears to be holding Belle (a visiting lab) down while Maisy gnaws on her. My kids are such good kids! Doesn't every parent think so?

Can you keep the music down?

I am trying to sleep.  And just bring my dinner to me when it is ready. - Maisy

And no, I am not getting up to play and go for a walk. Fifteen years, this couch is mine.

Hey kid. You sticking that tongue out at me?

So, do you want to fight?- Sam

Or do you wanna kiss? - Sam

(Buddy loves to lick Sam's jowls.  Enjoys his slobber like crazy.)

Take a picture sweetie....

"I ain't got time to wait." - Prince, and now Buddy Love.

It is nearly impossible to get a nice pic of Buddy sitting still or posing. In this shot, he jumped on my lap and then was leaping right out and I was trying to catch him. It's what we do. It is like holding a wild baby alligator.  Boston Terror.

Welcome to my yard.....

Hmmm, I smell cat food and dog treats.  You pass inspection.  Enjoy your time here! - Buddy to Belle
