Meet Hunter!

 

 

Hi Y’all!

Meet Hunter!

He is a pure bred Chessie!

Tell us your story, Hunter!

 

“I am already housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.”

I don’t understand why I was sent away from my family and little children.   They tell me about a divorce that changed everyone’s living situation. I don’t understand.

I’m an energetic 8 yr old Chessie who has a lot of love to give. They say I have personality plus! I love the water, but what Chessie doesn’t.  I also love being outdoors with my family.

I think I look great for my age. I have a dark brown coat and weigh about 75 lbs.  I was raised with a child & another dog and I miss them. 

Right now I’m in a home with a 9 yr old child and 2 chihuahuas. They say I’m scheduled for the big “snip snip”??? on January 13th.  I’ll be available to go to a new forever home shortly thereafter.

If you’d like to adopt me please fill out an application at www.companimals.org or email for more info. Adoption $165

Christmas Tease

 

 

 

Hi Y’all!

 

P1300949

It was Christmas Eve and I was calling the Humans to come look!!!  It was snowing!!!

 

P1300952

 

P1300953

 

I guess you really can’t tell on the grass…

 

P1300951

These next photos were taken at 5:30 PM Christmas Eve…the snow had stopped and the sun was straining to brighten the mountains once more.

 

P1300944

 

P1300946

 

Unfortunately all signs of the snow were gone shortly after sunrise Christmas morn.

Stay tuned for the Christmas ball…

Follow Up Friday

 

 

Hi Y’all!

 

P1300797

I must say, this past week was more than a bit challenging…let me go back to the early morning moon setting over the water…black and white Sunday…

Golden Woofs! SUGAR said...

Mmmm blogger is not cooperating with us as we can't see the photos :-( Will check back again later. wishing you and your family Happy Holidays. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

Hailey and Zaphod and their Lady said...

We are having the same problem as Sugar. We will come back later. Lee and Phod

Dolly theDoxie said...

I can't see the pictures whaaaah! Love Dolly

2browndawgs said...

For some reason, I cannot see the photos.

nodogaboutit said...

Oh no Hawk! What happened to your photos? All I see is a circle with a line through it where the pics should be. :(
Hope you still have an awesome Christmas! Maybe a new Wubba is in your future? :)

Jenna,Mark Drady said...

Happy B&W Sunday guys!
I dont think your pics are coming up properly for your post today though....unless it's just on my end?
Thought I would let you know :)
((husky hugs))

P1300824

 

 

 

P1300821

My Human looked at the times the above posts were made…at 1:14pm the commenter could see the photos…at 1:32 Sugar couldn’t see my photos and, with the exception of Susie and Sidebite at 4:49, the readers couldn’t see the photos.  At 5:38 the commenter still wasn’t seeing the photo. 

 

P1300743

 

Confused, we went into Blogger and Google and finally into the online photo storage.  THE CULPRIT!!! 

 

P1300744

My silly Human had changed the storage area setting and it had turned off the photos for most readers.  In fact, we couldn’t see our own photos!  Mystery solved!

P1300747

Please accept our apology for the failure of our photos on the Sunday post. 

Then Monday we joined in Something Wagging This Way Comes Pet Blogger's Gift Exchange

Pet Blogger's Gift Exchange is co-hosted bySomething Wagging This Way Comes and I Still Want More Puppies.  This was the wonderful venue where I got to meet the cute Harvey!  of the Balloon Diaries!

Harvey and lots of balloons

 

Follow Harvey on Twitter (here)

Follow Harvey on Google + (here)

This was a great way to get to know another blogger as well as share your blog.  Originally intended to be one day, Harvey was so cute and such an unusual little fellow that there was just too much cuteness to put in just one post! 

 

P1300759

As for exercise…we had lots of rain and the Humans were busy with family. 

P1300742

 

I’ll tell y’all about my Christmas next week! 

P1300813

Y’all hurry back now!!!

Meet Harvey! It’s the Pet Blogger’s Gift Exchange!

 

Hi Y’all!

It’s me, Hawkeye!  Feelin’ the mischief!

 

Something Wagging This Way Comes Pet Blogger's Gift Exchange

 

Pet Blogger's Gift Exchange is co-hosted by Something Wagging This Way Comes and I Still Want More Puppies.  This was the wonderful venue where I got to meet the cute Harvey!  of the Balloon Diaries!  Harvey asleep

 

Okay, so Harvey isn’t this tiny anymore!  After all, just like rest of us, he grew up!  He’s 4 years old now!   Oh, he still has lots of mischief in his heart!

eiffel tower 3

 

In the photo above he is refusing to let go of his newest toy! 

But how much mischief could a happy little fellow get into?  Especially such a little fellow who is obsessed with balloons! 

To find out what kind of mischief read False Confession Day (here) and the truth (here).  You won’t believe what mischief such a happy cutie can do!!! 

Y’all come back Wednesday for more about the Balloon Diaries! 

 

In the meantime enjoy Harvey’s other links:

Friday’s Fun, Fitness and Follow Up!

 

Hi Y’all!

 

P1300782

Another week and we’re only a few days from Christmas! 

P1300786

Been spending a lot of time retrieving the hidden bumpers.  Next week maybe I’ll have more “action” shots for y’all. 

Now to get to the questions…

Last Friday

Janet Keefe said...

I love your world, Hawk! That moon is beautiful and I just love seeing you romping around having so much fun! I see you have some cow buddies too, huh?

P1290827

And a warming sight…spring…

 P1110878

And some summertime pictures of some other big friends…

 

 

Saturday I focused on winter time beauty in color and followed with more beauty in black and white on Sunday. 

P1300157

After the weekend we came to Mischief Monday…where I tried to torment y’all with reminders of how fast Christmas is coming!  Five days from now is Christmas day!!!

Me with my very own Christmas card!

Oz theTerrier said...

Hi Hawk!
Only 10 days until Christmas?!? Oh dawg, I better start wrapping gifts. I just love giving gifts, don't you?
*high paw*
Oz

Getting to the heart of the matter

Does this photo from Christmas 2009 answer you question? 

 

Then on Wednesday’s post “Racing Toward Christmas”

Oz theTerrier said...

Hawk, pal...you are running so fast you may just catch Christmas early! If you do, will you share your catch with us?!?
*high paw*
Oz

and

Dolly theDoxie said...

Will running real fast make it get here sooner? Love Dolly

P1300706

BOL!  I’ll share Christmas with everybody!  and yes, all the hurrying and racing about seems to fill the days to overflowing and they just disappear faster and faster!!!

Then we came to yesterday “Once Upon a Frosty Morn”…

SlimDoggy said...

Hey Hawk - glad you got back into warmer weather? How many bumpers do they hide for you - sounds like a fun game!

P1300751

I’m happy to be back at the shore, but not as happy as my Human…though she is never happy when we get an early frost. 

P1300752

As for the number of bumpers she hides, sometimes it’s just one, sometimes it’s a bunch and sometimes she puts piles in different spots then sends me to bring a bumper off of different ones…guess it depends on her mood or whim?  P1300757Sometimes she does the piles and then hides the dokken for me to fetch last.  It’s always changing.  P1230728And before you ask, I don’t get to just go around sniffin’ for ‘em.  She sends me to the spot where I’m supposed to fetch one.  

P1230854

Just retrieving and returning isn’t enough…I must place whatever I retrieve in her hand.

  P1300740

These exercises are good mental stimulation for your retriever.  Remember we need jobs and discipline.  Not to mention the exercise burns calories.

You don’t have to use bumpers, you can use toys or balls or whatever you have that your dog likes.

 P1300741

Y’all come back now!
