Thanksgiving and the smell of decorated pine trees to pee on permeate the air!

Howdy folks,
Sam here. I figured I would share some of my recent samventures. We traveled down to the fantastic Dana point area to spend Thanksgiving giving thanks for the spoil me rottens. (grandparents) They made us a delicious feast of turkey! I love Turkey! They even set it on a plate on the floor for me and popo. I ate all mine real quick like and then attempted to snake popo's. After the feast there was much laying around and sleeping from all that tripo... tripta... you know that stuff in turkeys that gives people an excuse to lay around after the feast. Here is the beard laying around with popo.



We had a ton of fun during thanksgiving. The spoil me rottens took us on fun walks and Cori tried to jog with me. Little did she know I only have 2 speeds. Sniff the ground while slowly meandering, and LUDICROUS SPEED!!!!! None the less, it was super fun and the beard tells me we get to go back for Christmas.

Around the house we've been decorating our own house for the first time. It's no Clark Griswold but c'mon, we poor. Give the beard a break, Christmas lights are expensive and for some reason he doesn't own a ladders. It'll improve over the years since mama wants this house to be the envy of the whole neighborhood. We have a ways to go. See for yourself.





This is our Christmas Tree. The beard told mama that we should get a real one this year cause she has always wanted one but for some reason it didn't happen and she says it's too late now.



Here are our stockings hanging over our lamentably un-usable fireplace. I see images of happy dogs sleeping next to warm fireplaces all the time but ours wasn't made for fire. I hear the spoil me rottens have a working one. Man am I looking forward to that!



So HO HO HO MERRY COLD TIME AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

baby

we're having a baby.

pictures cause I am not feeling witty...

FASTER THAN A SPEEDING POPO!!

So we went to "Bark in the Park" which is sort of like a doggy carnival to help out with local animal rescues and shelters. They have booths and lots of exciting events. This was Porters first time. In the beginning he was a little stressed out from all of the action and commotion. Then we found his wheelhouse, his reason for living. We found the Dog races!!!
There was a booth set up where you could clock your dogs at their top speed with a radar gun. I stepped in first and put up a nice speed of 20mph. That was 2 mph faster than last year!
Then porter stepped to the line... The beard showed him the treat, the prize, the delicious milk bone, then ran to the other side of the field. Porter was chomping at the bit as momma held him back.... The tension was so incredible you could cut that steak with a sam tooth. Suddenly from out of the commotion and all of the swirling excitement the beards voice rang out like a beacon, a challenge for porter to give it all he had...

"COME ON POPO!!!!!!!"

Momma released the collar and Porter was off, flying across the field at incredible speeds never before witnessed in a dog size 10-25lbs. He reached the beard and the beard gave him crazy praise, we could all tell that we had just witnessed something very special, something we would never forget. Porter had run....




5mph....


























PSYCH!!!

He had actually run 25MPH!

He was the absolute fastest small dog the entire day! He was like a comet blazing a trail through the grass bound for impact with history! He was like the delorean attempting to gain speed "FASTER MARTY!" and leaving a trail of flames in it's wake.

so seriously, 25mph is faster than the fastest human on the planet.



This pansy Usain Bolt only runs a 100m in 9.69 seconds, Porter can run it in 8.94 seconds. Try again Olympic medalist showboat! Porter is King! Get that dog some gold shoes.

so till next time remember that when converting MPH to meters it isn't worth the time to figure out so just google it and there's a program for that!


SAM-

recent goings on and such.

Hello all,
A little talky talky then some pics. We've had lots of visitors lately. The beards parents came into town and that was fun, they seemed to be ok with our presence as long as we weren't passing gas in their general direction. We went to visit b+h last weekend and run crazy all over their house while the beard and the sweet smelling lady played wii fit. We even had them over a little while ago to stay for a sleepover.

As soon as H-Bomb arrived she wanted to leave...



B-trouble didn't mind staying here and I think he actually had a really good time.



Needless to say we were all tired after they left. I have found a new sleeping spot where nobody can get to me... The beard came in here to try and take a picture of me sleeping under the bed but I caught him in the act and snuck out before he could get the shot that way nobody will know that my new secret sleeping spot is under the guest bed.

ohhhh wait.... how do you go backwards on this thing??




Now for the obligatory post of popo. I don't want to keep posting these scared looking shots but that is how he looks every time the beard pulls out the flashy box. He's really not this much of a namby pamby.



Till next time remember that it is always best when packing a lunch to separate the dry from the wet ingredients for your sandwich until you are ready to eat!
