Rainy days and Mondays...

Its raining.

A lot.

So...I do what I do best when there is dirt and water mixed together.

I have FUN!

Mom dint think it was very funny though.

She has no appreciation for my fine art of landscaping.

I just got a lil dirty.

See...the mud doesn't even go all the way up my legs!

And there's just a smidgen on my schnoz.

I heard sumwhere that a mud bath was good for the skin.

I'm almost 1 you know.

Gotta keep this face soft and supple.

Wouldn't wanna get any wrinkles.

Ok, maybe the mud goes a bit farther up in the back.

it was dark out, it was kinda hard to see.

maybe I got a lil carried away

Yup, Mom doesn't appreciate the finer side of mud.

50 week measurements

50 weeks, 125.3 lbs, 35" tall

52 weeks of Murphy - 2/52

My photo of the week is another sunset picture. Do you sense a theme here?

Mom is going to have to work hard to be creative, even though I love love love the beach!

There are lots of interesting clouds in the sky...Mom says that's cuz a storm is comin in. Suppose to start raining here on Monday and not stop for a little while. Yeah, right Mr. Weatherman...I'll believe it when I see it. This is Sandy Eggo, afterall!

52 Weeks of Murphy 1/52

This 52 weeks of dogs is gonna be LONG! Hopefully Mom gets better at her photography skills, cuz she had to take like 1 billion gagillion photos of me to get one she liked! Sheesh...it shouldn't be that hard when you have a most handsomest subject like me, should it?

Official Entry for Mango Minster 2010

One of our favorite & relentlessy huge doggie bloggers, Mango, is putting on a dog show...Mango Minster 2010. Its much better than that West Minster hoidy toidy dog show that gets put on each year. This one is actually judged by doggies who know doggies, not stuffy old bipeds who THINK they know doggies.

There are several Groups for us doggies to enter. These are according to the official rules of Mango Minster and are completely not made up at all.

Cat Dogs - Some doggies are, well, CATS. Right? So if you are a cat which is actually not a dog, never fear, you can enter here (hey, that's like a poem).

Hound Dogs - Do you bay at the moon? Become deaf when your snooter is engaged? Run fast on long legs? This is your category.

Herding Dogs - All you guys and gals who love to round things up enter here (yes, even Border Collie dogs which are not actual doggies, but alien beings from the planet Agility).

Sporty Dogs - If you do a sport or are basically a good sport about life, then you are a Sporty Dog.

Non-Sporty Dogs - Bad dog! Bad dog! Grouchy? Sore loser? You know who you are.

Hard Working Dogs - Have a job? This one is for you.

Cracker Dog Insane Terriers (CDIT) - Let's face it, first of all, we are Relentlessly Huge terrier fans here at the estate. Plus there just is nothing like a terrier.

Mom has decided to enter me in the sporty dog group. I think dis picture shows that not only am I an excellent breed standard for the sporty dog group because I am an expert participant of doggie bootcamp, but it also demonstrates my exceedingly good sportiness nature in attending these classes with Mom.

I know Im in most excellent shape and have the most handsomest hiney, but I go to keep Mom company and encourage her in her fitness quest.

What could be more good sporty than that, I ask?

Hopefully the judges find my sportiness to be best in show. I know they are all super duper smart doggies, and if any way I can sway them with bribies of pressies and/or foodable, I plan on doing so.

wish me luck!

Silent Saturday

New Years day romp with the cousins

Mom and me met up with my fur-cousins at Fiesta Island for a mid-day romp. Mom's friends, Allison & Tod have 3 Great Danes....Toby (beautiful brindle!), Marley (regal black beauty!) and Oliver (white & black boy). The weather in Sandy Eggo was perfect as usual...high 60's along the coast with not a cloud in the sky.

Tide was super low, so there was lots of beach to run on.

Oliver & me hit it off right away. We've met up at the beach before, but hadn't done much playing during that visit. Prolly cuz it was before I was tutored and I kinda had a bit of a humpin obsession with Toby. Since my tutoring, I am a completely different kinda boy!

Here's me & Ollie tryin to fly. I think with a little more speed, our ears should be able to provide us with the lift of we need. Whaddya think?

Oliver likes to swim just as much as I do, so both of us were in the water alot! Toby & Marley kept lookout from the safety of the beach.

After discussing it with Oliver...I think we are both gonna try and become bird dogs. They sure are fun to chase! (can you see the bird in the water on the left side of the picture?)
