See you next year

It has been a great day filled with running, playing, and eating.  It is time to sleep and rest up for a fun filled 2013.    See everyone next year. 

Love, Edge

Happy New Year!!

New Year's Eve dinner

Wow!  Wow!! Wow!!!  Gary sure planned a great dinner for us tonight.  It started with crakers (gluten free of course) and 5 kinds of dips, crab stuffed HUGE mushrooms, and my favorite appetizer - SHRIMP!!!  

Dinner was a beef tenderloin, twice baked potatoes and yummy asparagus.  Followed by cheesecake.

 I LOVE HOLIDAYS!!!

 

TOYS!

Mom was teasing me because I was surrounded by all my fun, big toys, but chose to chew her vitamin bottle.  I like variety :)

 

Ready for a FUN day!

More snow!!

I am so excited, what a great week.  Christmas, and 2 big snow storms.   We have been out to play in the snow so many times already.  I will never tire of playing in the snow.

Snow hunting

It is even fun to hunt in the snow!!

SNOW!!

What a great week!  Christmas and now LOTS of snow!   Mom came home from work early today and we bundled all up and went to run in the snow.  It was so much fun.  We ended up going out 3 times!!!

More great gifts

We got a lot of great gifts from Grandma and Grandpa.  Grandma is GREAT at money art, we told her she needs to write a book!   Here are our money dogs and my money high jump.  She is good!

Rockerboard

Here is my "big" Christmas present, another toy to add to my fitness gym.  Mom thought we could both get a workout on it.  It has been a lot of fun!!!

TV fun

Mom and Gary thought it was funny that I was getting attacked from behind (from the TV!!)

My card to Mom

Christmas breakfast

Gary always fixes a big breakfast for us on Christmas.  I get my very own eggs and bacon too!

But mine was gone and I thought Mom should put down the phone and share!

Hurry Up Gary

Helping Gary open his Christmas presents.  I know what is in it as I helped wrap!   He is going to be really happy :)

Playing on Christmas morning

So much to do!!

What did Nique get?   I am sure she missed something!

I am sure there is more in the bottom, I can't miss any of it!

 

Christmas morning posing

Do I have to say more?

Ok, put down the camera and play or I will take it!!

Posing with Christmas Gifts

Of course, Mom makes us pose with our gifts BEFORE we can open anything.

This is SOOO boring, do you think she gets the hint? Time to STOP posing and start PLAYING!

Santa was here!!

Santa was here, I thought I heard him last night!   Look at all the great stuff I got.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Where is Santa?

Mom and I wrapped gifts last night and we put up our socks.  I  have had my Christmas sock since my very first Christmas.  Mom and Gary found it when shopping as it has great big ears that move up and down, and it plays music.  I know what it means :)

But, I got up this morning and ran over all excited and checked it - NOTHING!  What??!!  I have been a good boy, why did Santa not visit.   Then Mom explained it was Christmas eve and Santa would come tonight - whew?  That was a scary moment.

The Bestest Toy

It is tiring to completely destroy a box though!

 

Handsome

I was trying to hunt, and Mom was taking "pretty boy" pictures.  No wonder whatever it was would not come out!

Hunting

Mom took me to the school to run this morning and I found my "new" hunting grounds.  It is perfect, I can even play "Where's the Weim" as I just blend right in (well, if Mom took off my collar!)

And I know there was something in there.  I could see and smell it.  I just could not get it to come out!

Fun training day

I had a fun day with Mom.  She rented the building for us so I could go do something without slopping in mud.  I really don't have an issue with that, but she does.  We took all our stuff and Mom set up a utility ring and we practiced all kinds of fun games.  Then she put cookies all over and expected me NOT to look at them.  Hmm, that part was not quite as fun.  But then I did get to run and get them.

Then we put everything back the way we found it and ran some agility.  Mom said I "rocked" the course :)
I just had fun.  I think she made more mistakes than I did. 

I MUST go run!

WE had a great day today, but Mom kept saying we will go for a walk "soon" but soon never seemed to happen.  We ran errands and had a great lunch in the van, picnic style.  Then we went home and made cookies and played games while they baked.  We made llama, ostrich and salmon cookies - YUM!!  We also played Christmas music and danced to Jingle Bell Rock.  I am a good dancer and I can really leap high!  

Then Gary came home and wanted to cook out.  Cook outs are great, but "soon" just got later and I really NEED to run.  Please take me to RUN!  Mom did not listen, so when we went upstairs, I ran around and around and around the room.  I went out the door turned around and zoomed back through.  Then down the stairs around the family room and back upstairs.  FINALLY!!  They got the point. 

Mom took me to the park and since it was almost dark and rainy, no one else was there.  She unleashed me and away I went.  It was so much fun.  There was mud and puddles and more mud and puddles and I just splashed through all of it.  I RAN and RAN and RAN, and mom said I had a big smile the entire time.  

It has been raining since Sunday and I have not been out very much.  I am so glad she finally understood it was needed!!!!

here bunny, bunny

I know the bunny is hiding from me.  After last weekend, they know to keep out of my sight.

Dandelion in December

We went for a short walk in our yard today and look what Gary found?  Really???  Dandelions year round now?  Of course Gary had to point it out to Mom who thought it would be such a good idea for ME to pose with it. 

SICK!

Mom and I are supposed to go to Cinci today for obedience and I have been sick since 4:30 this morning.  Mom got up with me and we slept on the couch for awhile.  I wanted breakfast as my tummy was empty!  I started feeling better and even went out and chased a bunny!  Mom thought we were good to go, but as she was getting ready I got sick again.  I got on the couch and got all snuggly and took a long nap.  I know Mom is sad as she was excited about our day today.  

Sneak Peak

Mom has decided not to use this picture for our cards, so she said I can share a "sneak peak."

What would the bunny do?

Straight from Denise's seminar, what would the bunny do?

Being a model is hard work

Tonight was Christmas card picture night, wow, how can posing be such hard work?  Mom and Gary both worked to get good pictures for our cards.  They had to have them just perfect!  Gary would pose me and Mom would laugh and Gary would tell her to quit laughing at me or I might leave.  Luckily we were in front of the glass door and I kept checking out the handsome dog in the window.  I earned a lot of good cookies for just sitting still.  But we finally had to quit as I could not stay awake.

Good thing they are happy with the pictures.  I can't share or it will give away the surprise of our cards. 

Fun at the school

We got all bundled up today and went to the school to run.  We have not been there for a long time so it was fun to run around and smell all the new smells.  Mom was laughing at me as I was zooming around and smiling because it was soo much fun.  Mom tried to go back to the van and I convinced her to let me hunt a little longer.

My new ride

Mom and I got a "new ride" to take us to all our fun events.  I wasn't quite sure at first, but now I really like it!  We broke it in by taking it to PA for our weekend trip.

But I need it now...

Mom got a new bed for me for Christmas.  Actually it is a furry blanket like she has.  I wanted my own blanket for my kennel as it is soft and warm.  As soon as she brought it in the door I grabbed it and took off with it to my kennel.  She said she must have picked a good one!

Then I got in my kennel and looked really cute to convince her to let me have it now!  I will remember on Christmas, I promise :)
