Irish Princesses

Mom says I have some Irish blood. She does too. But I guess everyone is a little Irish on St.Patrick's Day. Even my sister Annie.

May the Road Rise up to meet you
May the wind always be at your back,

May the sun shine warm upon your face...

And the rain fall soft upon your fields,

And until we meet again...

May God hold you in the palm of His hand. (Irish blessing)

Top o' the mornin' to you...

Annie and I hope you have Irish stew, shepherd's pie, and corned beef with cabbage...

OK, really we wish we got some of that stuff, but we do wish you a

VERY HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY !

Friday the 13th

My little buddy Friday came over and made my Friday the 13th fun. Last month was fun too - I was with my brother on the 13th. Humans have some weird ideas.

Friday and I wrestled so much we started wrestling lying down to conserve energy.

This picture is not turned on the computer, but blogger seems to like it this way. You'll just have to tilt your head to the right to see how cute we are.

Today I am off on an adventure with Andrea!

Both kinds of Fridays are FUN!

The weather was warm and we played all day!

Friday came over so I could wear him out for our presentation at the elementary school. We were promoting PAWS to READ which raises disability awareness, funds for my college, and encourages kids to read - a win/ win situation!

Suzanne was there with Friday's sister Frisco... she was very entertaining while Suzanne talked. Chris and I were up next, and then Joe and Adam. Adam can pick up something as small as a dime for Joe, and he picks up water bottles and helps with laundry. He can leave a chocolate bar lying in front of his nose and never act like he even wants it. Friday mostly slept (I did a good job for Andrea) and then he let the kids pet him while he did a controlled greeting sit.
We came home and played in my yard some.

Friday is irresistably cute!

I turn 11 months old tomorrow!

I think Annie kinda likes Friday, but she will never admit it.

Later we went to Cooks and met cows. I can't believe I was afraid of them when I was little. They smell wonderful! Friday was a little afraid at first, then wanted to play with them.

Our mom's said we needed to go home and get a bath. What a waste of all that gooooood fragrance!

Here is a video of the three of us with the cows... enjoy!

Back Home

I got home Saturday during a snowstorm... Felix and I would have had a blast playing in all that snow. Sunday afternoon Friday came over and played and then we went to Subway.

Yeah little guy, I'll show you the ropes.

Pictures from my Vacation

When I visited my half-brother Felix his mom took some pictures of me. I got to do a presentation at Spencer's school and Felix and I played and played. Felix is a nice brother.

Lightning stops home briefly

If you look close you can see Friday in the background. Mom hasn't gotten a lot of pix since I got home because I've been busy and so has she. I came home Monday and Tuesday we met Friday. He visited us Wednesday and Andrea asked me to wear him out. I happily obliged. Tomorrow I am off to visit my half-brother, Felix. Mom says all this visiting will build my confidence. I am just having fun! The best thing this time is that my half brother will be there to play with!

I was trying to explain to Mom that she should put the camera down and just give me the treat.

Halo signing off

This is Halo's last day to fill in for Lightning. Here she is with Annie.

Everytime Halo is fed she poses as she makes eye contact so I had to get a picture before releasing her to eat.

Halo is going to make someone a great service dog someday. She will be going to college on the first Monday is April.

Halo enjoying the warmer weather

It wasn't as cold today, so I went out front while Lightning's dad cleared the driveway.

I totally love snow. Brenda and Andrea were laughing at me when instead of going break in the snowbank at the store I started to tunnel in. :-D

Halo's Friday

We hung out in the morning and then I went to work with Lightning's mom for the afternoon. She brought in the crate, but I was laying so nicely she let me stay out for the most part.

"Work" is pretty boring. I did a lot of sleeping.

All of the girls wore red today for women's heart health.

When we got home from work I rested for a while in the snow.

Then... we picked up Chris and went shopping. It was hard in the pet store because there was a leader dog in the store. Then there were several pets and we walked down the rawhide and bones aisle. Thankfully Chris had lots of treats to help me out. Lightning's mom said I did a good job and she was proud of me. I played with Annie a little, but after supper I took a nap.

Halo standing in for Lightning

Hello, my name is Halo and I was born last year on February 29th. Lightning and I are swapping for the week. Wednesday night we went to AWANA and it was race car night. Thursday Andrea came over and we went shopping. Lightning and Friday are going to be the best dressed dogs in Clarkston!

These were the children who participated waiting for their ribbons.

This is the race track... I had to check that out.
Today I'm planning to go to work with Lightning's mom. I don't know yet what we are going to do on the weekend. Monday night there is a foster puppy outing... sounds fun!

Around the house

We're just waiting around for winter to end...

Meanwhile I have plans to hang with friends for a few weeks.

Tomorrow my friend Halo is coming over to stay for a week. Unfortunately we won't see each other because I'm going to stay at her house for a week.

I wish that groundhog was here in Clarkston... hehehe

Mom is so confusing... she says I'm coming home with Friday, but I'm coming home on a Tuesday...
