My mom says I was sent from heaven - or at least from her dad in heaven (my Grandpa Jon). After he died, she wanted a dog, and when she went home for his funeral, and old friend from Jr. High posted pictures of me and my siblings who were born on the Winter Solstice, or βDarkest Night.β She says now sheβll never have a darkest night again, thanks to me!

Waiting for somebody to give me treats at the coffee shop... What does a guy have to do to get a little love around here! πππΎπΎβ€οΈ
I'm not afraid of monsters. πΎπΎπ (Thanks to my Aunt Jaime for my new favorite toy!)
After two days on the road in my crate, π£οΈ π I finally made it back home! π‘ My Aunt Jaime bought me a special welcome home toy! π§Έ It was a great vacation and I had so much fun, but I'm ready to be in my bed in my own house tonight! π₯±π΄π
From Orvis's mom:
Animals deal with their differences in abilities instinctively. Their other senses become heightened if they lose ability in one. Even this aging, mostly blind dog can find a stick in the water if he's motivated. And if there's water, he's always motivated! π€© The result is pure joy. π We can learn a lot from animals. πΎπΎπ€
Our first rainy day today, but no bees π and we got a break in the rain so we took a long walk! πΎπΎ You know what that means... Nap time!! π΄πͺπ€
Today didn't start off so well... My dad left me for the whole day, then I got stung by a nasty bee π right under my eye. ποΈ Fortunately, it only swelled a little and didn't hurt too much, but I still pouted and refused to go for a walk... until my mom gave me some treats! 𦴠I turned my frown upside down!! ππ
It's a dog's life here in the PNW! ππΎπΎπ€π²
Who else loves dirt?? We doggos love to dig holes when it's hot! π And it's especially fun to lie in them when you're wet - but for some reason my mom doesn't like me to. π₯΄ Silly Mom! She doesn't know what it's like to be a furry, brown dog in the summer! ππΎπΎπ₯΅ π€ππ
Happy Father's Day to the best dog dad a boy could have!! My dad is my best buddy and he takes good care of me. π Plus we have fun together, and sometimes we break some of my mom's rules... ππ But he always keeps me safe and gives the best scratches and belly rubs! I β€οΈ my dad!! π€β€οΈππΎπΎπ₯°
Just a memory from my puppyhood! πΎ I was quite the dock dog diver, but my mom says no more diving for me cuz it's not good for my hip. π It's OK cuz I still love to swim and chase the ball! π₯ππ
There have been a lot of doggo friends at my coffee shop lately! πΎπΎ We've had Labs, Goldens, and some little dogs, but they don't always sit still enough to get their pictures taken... π But no matter what, we all Lβ€οΈVE our treats!! 𦴠π€€ππΆ
Please help this sweet girl heal her broken heart! π β₯οΈπ€ Donate what you can. πΎπΎ

Today I got a little carried away and made a mess on the front patio... π I told my mom I can't help being a digger dog every once in awhile! π She wanted me to help clean up but I can't work a broom π§Ή so I supervised instead. π But I made it up to her by offering her my ball! β½ Of course she forgave me... ππΎπΎβ₯οΈπ
My mom and I had a beautiful day! First, we went to Old Towne for β and π¦΄, then we stopped at PETCO for more π¦΄π¦΄!! When we got home she was sneaky and gave me an outside bath when we were playing!πΏπ©³ π Then, sunbathing and a nap with my π. π₯±π΄π€ It was a great day, and now I'm a clean boy! πΎπΎπ€π I love days like these! π
Memory Monday. π₯° My mom chose a bunch of pics from my younger days, including my first time she allowed me on the couch (dad was out of town and she gave in π) me with my good friend Miley, and some of my favorite toys - Green We**ie, Green Gator π and Kong Stick. ππ€©π₯°
Today is my mom's birthday and boy did we have fun! π We met lots of animals today - first we stopped to say hi to my good friends Champ and Rocky πΎπΎ then we went to the park and saw all kinds of critters! ππ¦πΏοΈπ’ It was a good day for a bday walk in the park! π³
We forgot to post yesterday... but every day is Dog Mom's Day cuz dog moms rock!! πΎπΎπ€ Here's to all the fur baby moms out there who love us like we are human. π₯°

When Mom says, "Don't you dare lay down in the dirt!" but you do it anyway then try to look really cute... πππ€π
It's Memory Monday! My mom found this picture of me back when I was a silly puppy... ππΆπΎ I decided I wanted to explore that little puppy-sized swimming pool one night... OK, so Mom said it is a fountain, but I think I looked great in it, especially at night! ππβ€οΈ
A few years ago, one of my mom's students was having a bad day. π She gave him a break from class in her office and he asked if he could draw to help him calm down. ποΈ He saw my picture and drew this! π₯°π Glad I could help - and I wasn't even there! πΎπΎπΆπ€π
Some days you just want to be invisible... ππΎπΎπ
Flashback Friday: My friend Miley liked to be in charge... But it was all in good fun! She was one of my first good friends. Even though she crossed the π Bridge a couple years ago, I will always have good memories of our play dates! π
This morning after our walk, a few treats for me (plusa lot of drool π€€) and a lavenderπͺ»β latte for my mom. π₯° Great way to start the day! ππΎπΎπ
My mom and I had a nice walk today in the park! π³ Everything is green and blooming, and there were lots of smells. π»βοΈ Of course I got treats and played in the yard and then my mom had to take pictures of me... π Silly Mom! She says she can never get enough of me!! π€ πΎπΎπ€
All you need is love... π... and a dog of course!! ππ€πΎπΎ
This is my good coffee shop friend Cleopatra πΎπΎ ("Cleo.") It was her 6th birthday π π so my mom and I made her special birthday treats! π§π¦΄π Isn't she Lπ€VELY?? πβΊοΈπ Happy birthday Cleo! π₯³β€οΈ
Today we visited the newly restored fountain in our town plaza... Mom said I couldn't go swimming even though I really wanted to! π Then we went to a nice little cafe, but do you think she shared her almond croissant?? π So I took a nap on the way home on my new fluffy car seat bed. I may not always get my way, but I still think I have a pretty good life! π₯°πΎπΎβ€οΈ
