Photo Shoot

2011-05-21T16:18:00.002-04:00

Mom took some photo's for me today and then took me out for a long walk.

Smooching

2010-07-27T21:15:00.003-04:00

Auntie Linda came for a visit today and wanted to smooch, so of course I had to humor her...and her nose looked very inviting...

A Year and a bit...

2010-07-18T22:29:00.002-04:00

I'm growing up & I'm one year old and 2.5 months old!

I'm even starting to look like an Afghan :)

Been busy...

2010-05-24T21:07:00.002-04:00

Merlin, Zar and I go out every day now in the kennel and play! Zar digs wonderful deep holes and I like to lie in them...or make them bigger. Merlin's a wimp...he doesn't like to get his paws dirty and never digs. He sure can bark though!

I turned 1 year old at the beginning of this month. I'm as tall as Merlin now. Mom says she's going to get some good photo's of me..ha, ha...she'll have to try and get me when I'm not doing zoomies!

Oh and I don't go to Handling class any more; mom flunked out ::snicker::

Dirty Feet

2010-03-03T14:22:00.003-05:00

It's getting warmer outside & the snow is starting to melt in places. I only got my feet a bit dirty today, but they'll dry off soon now that I'm inside. Of course that will make mom have to sweep the floors and then I can attack the broom....

My cousin is an Agility Dog...sorta

2010-02-27T20:35:00.002-05:00

Bailey now has his own blog, but he's too chicken to let anyone see it, so I'll just have to go visit it myself when I have time and bug him. To think, he has to be trained to jump over things...I can do that without thinking! ::snicker::

Winter Blues

2010-02-10T08:28:00.003-05:00

It got icy in the yard, so mom won't let me play with Merlin right now in case I slip and fall. I wanna play with my buddies!

My first Fun Match

2010-01-31T23:17:00.005-05:00

Mom made me do funny things today at a thing she said was a Fun Match for dogs. I did have fun and saw lots of dogs and people...but it tired me out for the rest of the day!

Playing in the Snow

2010-01-27T11:50:00.002-05:00

A funny man in a red suit...

2009-12-05T16:51:00.002-05:00

I met Santa today. The photo is a little dark, but if you click on it, you can view a bigger size. I refrained from pulling off his beard....

Almost 7 months old!

2009-11-29T16:26:00.001-05:00

Playing with Merlin

2009-11-03T17:37:00.002-05:00

Merlin is a wimp...he was afraid of the camera!!! ::snicker::

Six Months Old Today!!!

2009-11-03T17:36:00.002-05:00

Snow?!!

2009-10-23T21:09:00.003-04:00

Last night I went out for a piddle and there was this weird stuff falling from the sky. It didn't taste like anything, it was just cold and kept hitting my nose. Mom said it was snow and that there would be a lot more of it soon. So far I'm not impressed ... chasing leaves and digging holes seems like way more fun than freezing my butt off and getting wet.

Afternoon Outing

2009-10-20T20:04:00.002-04:00

Me and Merlin out with mom...you can see her legs. We were out for a nice fall walk in the woods today....everything sniffs pretty good outside right now!

Bailey Came to Play

2009-10-19T17:50:00.002-04:00

Here's Bailey trying to look tough... ha, ha!

Here I am laughing at him....

2009-10-19T17:48:00.003-04:00

Here I am being chased by my big brother "Merlin" and Bailey got in on the fun too!

2009-10-19T17:43:00.006-04:00

Guess what .... Bailey digs great holes too!

Rainy Day Blues

2009-09-28T20:32:00.003-04:00

It rained all day, but I kept amused ... I chased Merlin and he chased me, I dug a big hole near the tree outside and then sat in it ... and the best part of all I got all muddy ... mom was not amused ::big puppy snicker::

Silly Kitty

2009-09-25T22:14:00.000-04:00

Look what I found .... this is one silly cat!

Group Shot

2009-09-20T19:24:00.000-04:00

We tried hard to run away, or at least Bailey & I did, but didn't quite make it. From left to right .... Zar, Merlin, Bailey & me!

In The Yard

2009-09-20T16:01:00.004-04:00

It's so nice out now & I have my big brother Merlin to play with, 'cause he's finally decided I might be fun. I don't play with my big, big brother Zar right now, 'cause he scares me and always catches me when I run. Mom took her camera outside to try and catch us in the act, but we move way too fast for her. Anyway, the weather is cooler, the hole sites I'm digging are getting bigger (and Merlin is helping me), and I'm having fun!

School Days & Teething

2009-09-15T22:09:00.003-04:00

Not fair! Mom's making me go to school .... I have to learn to walk beside her instead of walking her. I have to sit when she says, instead of running off. I even have to lay on the floor or ground and stay there until she says I can get up, so I just go to sleep until she gets bored...

I'm also teething and she won't even let me chew the rug ... or pillows ... or door frames ... or couch ... or blankets ... or table legs...or magazines ... or toilet paper ... I can't even chew on the cat .... she even threw my favorite toy away just because I ripped it's head off ...MOM'S A PARTY POOPER!!!

Chowing Down

2009-09-11T09:59:00.002-04:00

Mom insists I wear this silly thing on my head. I've given up the fight ... I finally realized it's the only way she'll put the bowl down so that I can eat! Humans, what we have to do to keep them amused!

Farran Park

2009-09-05T21:57:00.002-04:00

We went to Farran Park in Ontario today. There was another big dog show and I got to go with my cousin Bailey. We met another afghan there. Her name was Bianca, but I don't think she liked me very much 'cause she kept showing me her teeth, so I stayed away. We stayed a long time and I had to take a long nap after I got home. Here's a picture taken today, oh and I turned 4 months old on the 3rd...I'm growing !!

Road Trip

2009-08-30T09:31:00.011-04:00

I went with mom to Long Sault, Ontario to a dog show. Auntie Janice brought my pal, Indy, so I had company.

Here I am in the car on the way there...

We saw lots of dogs ... some even barked at me, so I stayed clear of them! We did some walking, then more walking, then even more walking! Boy humans sure can walk.

This is my brother Merlin's cousin, Chablis, she was in the obedience class and did really well. I'm not sure I could be that good, but winning a ribbon would be neat ... something new to chew on!

Then we went down by the water. It looked like it might be fun to go in, but mom said it was too dirty, so Indy and I were not allowed to play in it. We did get our pictures taken though.

Dig Sites

2009-08-25T09:44:00.001-04:00

My favorite activity. Digging holes! Mom says if I keep it up she's changing my name to "Digger". Here's my latest creation...

Indy and I

2009-08-25T09:40:00.003-04:00

Had a play with Indy yesterday.

Here I am on my favorite rock.

Here's Indy and I. We're ant hunting.

We had a friend, Jack, join us (he's on the left).

Hot, hot, hot...

2009-08-23T22:31:00.001-04:00

It's too hot to do zoomies, stay outside and play with my toys, or chase my brother's...I'm waiting for cooler weather, then watch out!

Dog days...

2009-08-19T21:11:00.001-04:00

I was sick for a few days. I guess it was something I ate. I can't decide if it was the stuffed chair or the clumps of grass the lawnmower man left behind. Whatever it was, it sure made my tummy feel bad! Mom took me to the vet and they gave me medicine and everything ... yuck! I am feeling better now, but the weather has been so hot I don't even feel like doing zoomies around the yard.

Photo Shoot

2009-08-10T21:13:00.003-04:00

Didn't do much all day 'cause it was so hot and muggy! Mom took pictures of me, here's one of them...

Tonight we went to Bailey's house and we played a bit, but got tired so just flaked out. Mom and Dad ate supper with Bailey's parents, then Bailey & I got to go for a walk. I hope it rains soon 'cause I don't even feel like digging holes right now.

My Uncle Storm

2009-08-09T22:34:00.003-04:00

This is my uncle Tokabout Thunder and Lightning (aka "Storm"). He originally came from Tokabout Afghans & he lives in Ontario (Canada). Apparently it took 3 days to shoot the commercial, but he sure looks good! My dad, Leo, is in commercials too!

Williamstown Fair

2009-08-08T17:03:00.003-04:00

We just got back from a fair in Williamstown. My little poodle friend "Indy" came too and we got to meet lots of people, see dogs and horses, as well as strange looking animals like lama's, alpaca's, goats and I even met a baby cow (they have big wet noses) and sheep. I'm off to have my nap now. Oh and Mom forgot to bring her camera ... again!

My first Bath!

2009-08-08T07:49:00.003-04:00

Mom took me to play with my poodle friends yesterday, but when we came home she said I was too dirty to be in the house, so she gave me a bath! The only good thing about it was that I left a nice little sand pit in the tub for her to clean up. After I dried off and was all fluffy again, I went outside and dug a big hole in the lawn.

Last night was the first time I slept through the night. Mom was impressed, so she said she was going to take me somewhere special today. I don't know where yet, but I'll get back to you later and tell you all about it...

Hot Day

2009-08-05T17:03:00.002-04:00

It was hot today, so I didn't do much. I did go visit my poodle friends and also a friend of mom's. I waded in a pool, played and sat around.

Weekend Fun

2009-08-03T08:01:00.002-04:00

I went with my brother, Merlin, to friend's of mom's over the weekend. I got to run in a big field with an Irish Wolfhound and a Labrador. I spent most of my time chasing Merlin. There were lots of horses there too, but I stayed away from them. Mom forgot to bring her camera, so she didn't have any pictures for me to post. Oh well....

I'm also getting pretty good at letting mom know when I have to go potty. I go to the front door and whine.

6 weeks to 12 weeks

2009-07-30T16:24:00.002-04:00

Here I am at 6 weeks old.

Here I am at 8 weeks old.

Mom took this one of me today. I'm almost 12 weeks old.

Buried my Bone

2009-07-29T12:23:00.002-04:00

Mom gave me a bone to chew on and then I buried it in the lawn to save for later. Mom found it and threw it away. She said she'd give me another one, but I want my old one back. It was all covered with dirt and stuff and way more fun to chew on than a clean one .... I'm not happy...

What's Been Happening Lately

2009-07-28T22:12:00.001-04:00

I had to go to the vet the other day and get my 2nd needles. It wasn't too bad, but I didn't like my nails clipped so I made lots of noise to make sure everyone knew I wasn't amused!

I went the other day to a friend of my mom's. She has two poodle puppies the same age as me. They were fun to play with, and we even got to dig holes!

Zar and Merlin both play with me now, but they have not caught me yet :)

It's time for my nap now, so until next time...

Playing with Bailey

2009-07-28T22:09:00.000-04:00

Went to play with Bailey (my cousin) today. We hade lots of fun running and chasing each other.

Discovering the Couch

2009-07-28T22:07:00.000-04:00

I found something better than the floor to sleep on!

My big brother Zar lets me sleep with him too.

My New Home

2009-07-28T22:01:00.000-04:00

I decided to write my own blog 'cause I have a lot to say!

I came to my new home from Ontario to Quebec and have two new brothers, Zar and Merlin. Of course they don't look like me, but they are fun to play with.

Here I am when my mom first saw me, a photo when I was 6 weeks old. Then when she picked me up to go to my new home at 8 weeks old.
