Happy and Hyper again

Thanks everyone for the well wishes after my surgery. After two days I stopped moping around and whimpering and got used to that silly plastic cone. Now I get to have the cone off while an adult is with me. 

With the cone off I have my hiding places back, like under the dining room chairs and even this cool spot I found under Deanne's bed that involves climbing. The world is my playground. I also like to lay like a bear rug. Here I am with my favorite toy squirrel behind me. I lay like this all the time. 

I'm not a happy camper :-(

Today I woke up excited, jumped on Deanne's head at 6:20am and surprisingly she got up 10 minutes later and next thing I knew we were in the car going for a ride! We got to the vet and everything was fine, but then I got super sleepy and when I woke up I had a big plastic thing around my head and soreness down there.

Now that I'm home, I'm moping on the couch. This cone thing makes it so I can't walk. I try to jump around like a deer and I'm totally uncoordinated. This sucks. Ok that's enough complaining from me. I guess lots of puppies go through this, I'll survive.
lots of licks,

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. I don't really remember my dad but I'm sure he was a great guy! I now have many human dad's so I guess that's ok. I had fun today playing at a Father's day BBQ. I myself won't ever be a dad, just found out I'm getting my manhood chopped off on Thursday. Eek!

Walks and Playtime

I went on a walk yesterday by the ocean and decided I wanted to be carried for about a mile of it. Deanne seemed to enjoy carrying me and working on her bicep muscles.
I also have taken field trips to Deanne's parent's house and love hanging out with the dogs and people there. Here I am with Deanne's mom Patti

And here I am with Deanne eating outside at Islands. I didn't want to look up hehehe.

I'm going to post a video of me pouncing on my favorite toy squirrel but I can't remember how to directly upload videos on the blog without going through youtube.

Licks and love,
Bear

Terrible Two's

I'm in the "terrible two's" I like to have my own way and sometimes bark because well I feel like barking.
But I'm still pretty stinking cute oh and no accidents in the house for days! I'm officially house broken, woo hoo!
Here's a pic of me from that modeling shoot I told you about a while ago:

I'm getting bigger huh?

Also my pic from when I first met Deanne got picked up by CNN and seen by hundreds, here the link to that: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-456593

I entered Costco!

I got to take a little field trip today to this place called Costco where they have dog food and tons of dog rawhide chew things. I went with Shannon (roommate) and my mom. People stopped to smile and pet me the whole time. My mom first bought me a chew bone that got all over the backseat of her car, so she returned them and brought me inside so I could hand pick which treat I wanted. I went with giant beef rawhides.

Here I am inside a cart hehe. But I was actually carried by Shannon throughout the store.

Play time and modeling!

Hi everyone. I have a little video to share with you of me doing what I love to do...play! It's about a minute long.



Today I went with my mom to a modeling shoot. I got to be in 
some of the pics but I only felt like looking into the camera for 
maybe a minute.


On another note, I'm totally getting the hang out housebreaking. I 
haven't had an accident in the house for days and get this, Deanne 
let's me sleep next to her on her bed! Life is good :)
licks,
