The Speed of Pete

We took Petey to a dog park and he hated it. So we walked around the park the dog park was in and Petey liked it much better.

Mr. Pete

Why do dogs have wet noses? Petey's been to the vet a lot lately (for him) in the past year, but he seems to be back to his mean, squirrel-chasing self. Did you know that some dogs have lived until they were in their mid-20s? I can see that being our dog.

Photobombing Petey

While this is not a traditional photobomb, it still counts. This dog loves to come over to see what I'm doing, and in the meantime plop himself down in a very inconvenient spot. He's got a nose for it.

Pensive Petey

Hot Dog

One of the joys of being a pet owner is the ability to dress them up in whatever silly outfit you feel like.

Inspired by a Giraffe

Inspiration: "Giraffe"

My version:

Doggone Cute

When he sits like this, it makes me think of a little lamb.

Le Chien

I can't help it. He's just so darn cute. He also does not complain about being photographed endlessly.

Got Him!

Petey knocked the stuffing out of his toy. lol.

Rainbow Sweater

I got this awesome yarn for Christmas and started to make something for myself, but it was too wide. Instead of tearing it out, I decided Petey needed a new sweater. Oh, and he's licking the inside of a cheese package. (He loves cheese! And the sweater.)

He Really, Really Hates Me

I believe that is every single toy or doggy bone he has, piled up around him. The sound that goes along with this picture is "wah-wah-wah-waah"

Sleepin' Buddies

My pup and my pop, both napping only feet from each other!

Desktop Background 4

Petey was just so cute that there was no time to add any sort phrase before this became the background. Too bad I cut off his little halo that's hovering over his head, right? Awwwwww

Desktop Background 3

Petey thinks of treats. This is a really huge picture of the dog when it's up on the background. It's larger than the real Petey's head.

Desktop Background 2

Now it's week two with computer sharing and it looks kind of the same as last week.... Actual quote: "I thought you were going to change the background! Oh... I'm going to kill you."

Fact 1: My dad likes to make up words sometimes (don't we all?) For instance, in stead of saying "shrimp" he sometimes calls them "strimps" but it sounds like "striiimps!"
Fact 2: He also likes to repeat certain phrases and words.
Fact 3: Fact 2 drives my mother CRAZY!

So as soon as he sees the underlined word above, I predict he will say it, repeatedly for about a week. I love you mom!

Desktop Background 1

Lately, we have combined computers and are sharing my computer tower with the rest of the junk that attached to the family computer (including the rather large flat screen monitor). Since this is now a shared computer, SOMEONE didn't like the desktop background that I already had so I made a new one! We will be sharing this computer setup for about 4 weeks so I joked that I would change the background every week... and so here is week one.

As you can see, it's Petey yet again, but if you look closely you can see that he is thinking something...

Filled Up Car

Well, you can't really tell, but my car was STUFFED with my boxes of essentials. We are headed to a furnished apartment for about a month until our new place is ready for us. Petey got his own seat for the 4.5 hour drive to New Jersey.

Improvised Bed
