Remote Control

Workout

2 different perspectives on prepping for a workout!

Greetings

Baxter here!  well, it took mom a year to do it, but she finally made my envelope on the Christmas door hanger.

she said it was just so hard letting go of Butterz, and i understand that.  but she said, it wasn't fair to handsome boy like me & it was time to let Santa know i was in the house!

she made a new "cover" & sewed it over Butterz original "envelope" so she still has a little piece of all of us at Christmas time!

A very Boxer Christmas

we wanted to do a quick post instead of a tweet to show you what we got for Christmas this year.  we were very good indeed!  Baxter even pretended to be an Elf & watched over paw while he slept on Christmas Day.

guess they never did catch Santa in the act.  anywho, we got a brand new Screaming Monkey from Santa

and here we are sharing it like good boxers do

mom is so proud of our manners you know.  and Sarvers (that's the nice people that house & dog sit when ma & paw are adventuring) gave us 2 new toys

that's Screaming Monkey in the middle after Baxter had chewed the tail off!  and in case you're wondering what a Sceaming Monkey is, check this out

we got some other cool stuff like treats & kongs filled with goodies. we were spoiled rotten. hope all our boxers friends were just as spoiled!

Santa's Helpers

yes, it's a bit early to post anything Christmas related. i mean we haven't even gotten to Turkey day yet!  but mom was asked to photog a fundraiser for The A.R.K. Animal Shelter yesterday & we had sit in for the warm-up!  you know how self-critical mom can be so she wants you to know, she doesn't think some of these are very good, but she got better as the day went on.  most importantly, she learned a lot just in 3+ hours of shooting so she's looking forward to more practice!
Here we are making Santa look good

And here is miss Donna who organized the event.  that's Jordan on the left who we baby sit when ma & paw are gone & his dad Barry

the Westies were a crowd favorite. they came straight from the groomers to get their picture taken

mom loved this yellow lab & his friend. she said it only took 1 shot to get their photo. not everyone was so easy.

and then there was Hank (we called him Hank the Tank).  a 2 year old chocolate lab that weighs 120lbs & still growing.

The Ark had some of their own kids who are up for adoption at the event & this Yorkie pair was pretty popular too!

mom wanted to make sure everyone remembers that The A.R.K. has more than just us woof-types.  here is 1 of 2 cats that came to see if they could find a furever home too!

and we couldn't leave out a success story!  here is Sally who was adopted from The A.R.K. a few years ago by a wonderful hooman!  Miss Sally was just the sweetest little thing!

big thanks to Miss Tisha for helping ma keep everything moving, but not too fast!  and TONS of wags & wiggles to Donna & all the girls at Hair Masters Unlimited in Chillicothe for holding this event. they raised a bunch of money for all our furry friends to find their furever home one day!  woof woof!

Cookie says hello

a typical greeting from Cookie when you walk in the door (press play)

Waiting

for paw to come back from his kayak ride this morning so i can have mine!

Happy Fall!

Baxter here!  Cookie decided to take the day off & rest that back leg a little more. it's still giving her a little trouble so she said i could step in for her especially since this post really is all about me! last Friday mom decided after Cookie's weekly Therapy Dog visit to the nursing home, to treat me with a outing of my own. we went to check out the Fall colors at Robinson Park.  boy did we have fun. mom actually wore me out...i let her think that.
here i am checking out the colors at my level

and here's mom checking them out at her level & above.

Happy 10th Miss Cookie!

Happy 10th Birthday BigBusiness!  still lookin good!
