Playdate with Bella

Remember my friend Bella...


...well my mom took me to her house again this past weekend for another playdate. We had the best time. She loves tug-o-war just as much as me!! Here are some pics from our fun time!




We also walked down to the park to run around and play fetch...



It was so hot outside playing, so the first thing we did when we got back was get some water...
(they were drinking out of the same bowl at the same time!)

After a short nap, we got our second wind...



And because we had been such good girls playing together, Mr. B gave us some treats! But we had to sit first!!

Man I was pooped afterward...I slept the whole way home!

Frisbee!!


My dad added on to the deck so now we go out back to play all the time. I love it because I have more room to chase my frisbee!



*Here I go!*



*and I'm learning that I have to drop the toy for my mom to throw it again*

*And all Bogart wants to know is "why can't I come outside?"*

My Tummy is Sore!





Malu got spayed on Monday and was feeling pretty miserable afterward. By the next day she was about 50% better, then by Wednesday it was as if nothing had happened. We have really had to slow her down so she doesn't tear her incision open. That means no playdates with her boyfriend Drake, no hard running, fetching, tug-o-war, etc. Needless to say, she has been pretty antsy the past few days!!

*Can you see my shaved belly?!?*





We go back in 2 weeks to get her stitches removed and to get her microchipped (which they forgot to do while she was already under) so I'm sure by then, she'll be good as new!

Quick Learner!

Malu is doing so well...she started Puppy Kindergarten on June 21st, but after 3 classes, she was moved up to Intermediate Puppy Class because she was doing so well and was being held up by another puppy in the class. We were such proud parents!

Since starting classes we have really been working on her obedience, and she is doing pretty well. She is definitely into her "Terrible Two's" Stage and is very mischievous, but is learning too. After watching Cesar Milan on "The Dog Whisperer", we decided we wanted to teach her to walk on the treadmill, so on rainy days, or really hot ones (like we've been having lately) she can still get rid of all her puppy energy. The first time we tried she was about 4 months old and only walked for about 2 mins at a time. Now that she is 5 1/2 months old, she has really moved up and is up to walking 17 mins at a time. We don't even need to hold her on or walk beside her...we can do the Wii Fit or work out ourselves while she is doing her thing!! She's so good!

Here are some pics of her walking on the treadmill:

*Here we go*

*Not so sure at first*

*Oh yeah, I remember how to do this...This is fun!*


*Bogart supervising as usual!*

*Malu can even look out the window while she walks on the treadmill*


She is so good! She will be 6 months old on Monday and weighs around 40 lbs. She has lost all her baby teeth and is really growing up. Sometimes we have a hard time remembering when she was so small!

Sorry for the Delay

My mom has been so bad about updating our blog lately. We've been so busy lately she hasn't had much time, but I finally convinced her to get on it!! There are about 5-6 new posts below, so we hope you enjoy them!!

Vacation to OBX

We went to the beach in the Outer Banks, N.C. for a week. What a great time! We took Malu and Bogart with us and they both had a blast. There are way too many pictures to post, so I posted just a few good ones.
*Malu on the way to the Beach*

*Bogart just relaxing and enjoying some sun*

*I love the Beach!! Hurry up Dad!!*


*Ooohhh this water feels good*

If you want to see more pics from our first "family" vacation...just let my mom know and she'll email you the link to the full album!

More new Friends!

When we were all walking around the neighborhood, we met some new neighbors that have labs too. One of each color. They were older than me, but we still had a good time playing. Too bad I haven't seen them since... :( ...(but I still have my boyfriend Drake!)
