duke, the dude and lala

This is "Duke" our Elf on the Shelf -- he keeps an eye on the dude to make sure he's behaving!

 Spontaneous hugs to lala Lucy

A Super Baby ornament for a true Super Dude!  (one of his nurses gave him this when he was in the NICU)

Teehee...mommy walked in my room and found me and LaLa snuggling in my bed!

happy 5th birthday lucy (aka: lala and yaya)

pool boy

A few days ago, my gigi showed up with a big, giant turtle.  I wasn't sure what we were going to do with it, but I found out today.  The mommy filled up my turtle with water from the hose, put a swimmie on me and outside into the heat we went.  Boy, was that turtle so much fun and it kept me cool.  The mommy & daddy call the turtle a "pool," but I don't care what you call it, it's just fun!  My silly yaya kept drinking out of the pool like it was her water bowl.  Silly doggy.  Finally, the mommy said it was time to go inside and each time she dried me off, I ran away and climbed back into the pool.  Tee hee!  I can't wait to go swimming again tomorrow.

big dog, small chair

Lucy/LaLa decided that the dude's chair looked comfy...not sure how she pretzeled herself in there.

"O'er the land of the free and the home of the braaaaaaaaaaaaave!"

Little Miss Patience (in all kinds of ways)

What are YOU lookin' at?!?!

If Lucy ever has incontinence issues, I think the dude has her covered.  Literally.

the dog did it

linus

The dude has a blankie that he insists on cuddling with, even in the car, even when it's 100 degrees outside.  I understand that it's a thick, really soft, snuggly blankie, but no matter how hot it is, he MUST have blankie in the car.  He recenly brought blankie inside and has been dragging it around like Linus from Peanuts.

See what I mean....

I'm baaaaaack!

Whew!  I thought Mommy and Daddy were never going to let me get back to blogging.  I've missed y'all (that's some Southern drawl that Mommy and Daddy use to say "you all") and I'm excited to get back to sharing my adventures.

LaLa and I have had a busy summer.  I have figured out where her treats are located, so I'll grab a treat, pretend to give it to her and just before she takes it from me, I take off running and laughing.  That dog is so silly--she chases me round and round the dining room table.  When she starts to lose interest, I pretend to give her the treat and then take off running again.  Sometimes, I even hide in the curtains, but she always finds me and licks my face.  Eventually, Mommy or Daddy stop me and make me give LaLa the treat.  This makes me SO mad that I stomp my feet and tell them "No! No! No!" but they don't listen.

I love to go outside and play with LaLa and now that it's so hot out there, we share the water spigot (I also share popsicles with her).  The first time I bent over to drink from LaLa's spigot, Mommy started laughing so hard that I thought she was going to pee-pee in her pants (I hope she was wearing a diaper).  Daddy didn't think it was very funny and tells me that it's yucky but I don't think it's yucky.  If LaLa drinks from it, why can't I?

Mommy and Daddy have been taking me to all kinds of fun places this summer and I'll share those adventures with you soon.

I have to go now because it's nap time and I do love my naps.  Mommy says I get that from her!
