post party update

Hi Everyone, this is Kobe and Faylin's Mom. I'm sorry we haven't been able to write since the party, but we have been very busy being hosts for Bella. This week she's gone to camp with Kobe and Faylin during the day, and last night we all went to the dog park. We got to see the greyhouds ( Bella, Marco and Milo) and their new addidion Orville. Buddy was also there and so was Chip the shetland sheepdog who really likes Faylin. Foxy was also there she's a shiba too. Her and Kobe were really good friends last year but have'nt seen her in a while.

Last week in obedience class Faylin's trainer jokingly called her a "hot dog hoar" don't be offended by this, we weren't. Faylin will anything for a Nathan's hot dog treat, or so it seems. So I decided to test this theory at agility class on Monday night. It's True... Faylin was so good in class. The first week she was very nervous and it I didn't think we were going to be good at it at all. This week she was up and down the A-frame, on the dog walk, even the teeter totter. She jumped through a tire and went through a tunnel. I was so proud of her. We had so much fun and she ate so many treats. By the end she was doing everything without a lot of food compensation. We can't wait until next week. The trainer also told everyone about how good Kobe was at agility last year. Maybe Faylin heard that and didn't want her big brother to be disappointed in her. Hopefully Kobe will be starting classes again soon. I'll try to get some pictures or video at next weeks class.

Isa is emailing me more pictures from the party so I will some pics of Trixie and Riggs on the blog soon. I spoke to Niko's Mom last night and the new puppy will be coming home soon. She is so cute, I'll post more pictures of her as well. I'm at work right now, and I need Kobe to help post pics.

Don't tell Faylin I blogged without her.....

Pool party

Hi Everyone, We had so much fun yesterday at the party. I'm so happy just about everyone we invited was able to come. The weather was perfect, and Aunt Isa and the other camp counselors did a great job decorating and helping us host. Everyone loved the cake and Trixie's Mom brought us ice cream. For some reason I don't have a picture of Trixie in the computer. I will put one up soon. There is one on Nanook's blog though. They beat me to the post. We have an excuse though. Bella the rat terrier came over last night. She's staying with us all week. Everyone looked adorable and was very well behaved. We can't wait to have another one.

Isn't the cake pretty? It was a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. All the puppies loved it. The lady who made it also made really nice party favors, but forgot to take a picture so you'll just have to trust us.

The moment we've been waiting for........Ice cream and Cake!!!!!

Kobe asking.. Are you sure there's no more cake?

Kobe looked very handsome, while welcoming all his friends to the party.

I love you so much, I will lick the water from your muzzie. Stop checking out that St Bernard, you player.

Nanook and Pooka sharing a pool.

Pooka really is too cute.

Kobe being a good host, greeting Nanook and Pooka.

Tues

Hi, Not much to say just counting down the days to the pool party. We played at daycare today, we're a little bit dirty and a little bit smelly. I think I heard someone mention that we smelled a little bit like dogs. What's up with that?????

By the way I over heard my Mom talking to Nanook and Pooka's Mom and I think they're trying to sneak off without us. Can you believe that some of our parents, ( I don't want to mention any names) are actually going to hang out without us. At first I was insulted then I realized they are the ones who will suffer. First the will miss us horribly and then they will be overwhelmed with guilt and buy us new toys and those fantastic peanut butter bon bons. Ahh the joy of being a puppy..... Who could ever want to spend time away from our faces?

Peace Out

Faylin

Peanut

I just wanted to Thank Peanut and all the other puppies who are involved in the monitoring of butterflies and other flying insects. It is a particularly tough fight especially when you are on a leash and Mom is wearing flip flops.

Over and Out

Sunday

Hi, I had a nice day today. Mom took me for my walk this morning and there was a particularly chatty bird outside. Mom tried to get me to keep walking, but I could tell the bird had a lot on its mind. I wasn't sure what it was saying but I'm not rude, so I decided to just lay down right there and just nodd politily while my bird friend ranted.

Later I had my obedience class and I invited my friends from class to the pool party. Yeah!!!!! I can't wait. Mom bought me and kobe new collars for the party. They have pirates on them, and Mom got the matching flip flops. We'll have to get a photo of that. She also bought us some more peanut butter bonbons. They're the best.

One more thing... I will now be known among my warrior friends as The Butterfly Hunter. These fluttering monsters may seem harmless but that is just because of me and those like me who keep them in check.

Until next time....

Shiba Day at the Park

Welcome to Shiba Day. Every third Saturday of the month at 2:00, we have Shiba Day at Thompson Park. There were a lot of Shibas there, but Mom's camera was weird and couldn't really take action photos. Sorry. It was a lot of fun. There were Shibas from around town and also one from Staten Island. I believe he is the young red man in the photo below. His name was Patrick. So there is another Irish shiba.

Kobe and I like to play with our friends but when it's hot sometimes we just watch. Where is that brother of mine? Oh there he is....

Kobe thinks the park needs a new hole.

Kobe and Faylin love the sand.

Kobe on the left, Faylin on the right.

Here we are getting some shade with a new friend.

Here are some cuties from Shiba Day. Mom took the pictures, it was very hot and the puppies were moving around a lot. It was hard to get good photos.









See ya Later

Niko photo

Here's a cute picture of Niko, and of me with Nanook. Kobe was being camera shy that day. We were all playing at Nanook's house that day. Niko was also my first boyfriend. He moved so I don't get to see him as often but we still love him and can't wait until he comes back to visit. Don't tell him but I also love Nanook a little. Mom laughs at me because me ears go back and I try to jump on him, while wagging my tail as quick as possible. I think it's a very good look for me.Until next time.....

Niko and siblings

Super Cute Puppies!!!!:)

Hi , I finally have those pictures of Niko and his little brothers and sisters. I don't know which one will live with him yet, but they are all so cute. Niko is one of our best friends. My brother Kobe met him at the dog park last year and they've been buddies ever since.

I'll be right back

pictures from daycare

This shots a little random, but they get better.

Here's Kobe and friends. Wonder what their looking at?

In this photo we were asked to gaze adoringly into each others eyes. Can you feel the love???

See how I pretend not to notice the camera.

Here are some friends playing in the pool with one of our camp counselors.

Here I am, getting some shade.
