Monday Mischief: Last Week in Review

I'm baaaaaaack!

And so are the Bosses!  Hip hip, Hooray!  (Don't worry, I really did like Gran"dog"ma's house!)

We're back into the old routine here, and I thought I'd share a little bit of just what kind of mischief our entire family's been up to the past 7-9 days or so, seeing that I've been off the keyboard for a while.

My Bosses, as you might know, took a trip to visit some family and friends on the East Coast.  I wish I could say that I've been the chief mischief-maker, but I think the Bosses took the cake for last week.  Look at all the fun things they did!

First, they stopped for 2 days in Arlington, VA/Washington, D.C. to visit and sight-see.  They like history, so all the places to visit were stunning.

For the remainder of their time on the East Coast, Bosses were in the Philadelphia area.  They went out there 3 years ago for Thanksgiving, too, so they tried to go places that they haven't seen before.  This time, they went to Eastern State Penitentiary (no pictures, sorry), Ridley Creek State Park, and Longwood Gardens for a beautiful light and holiday display.  They said it was breathtaking and wonderful!

Now, I'm sure you're thinking "enough with those crazy Bosses of yours, what have YOU been up to the past week?!"

My stay at Gran"dog"ma's house was great!  I got so much attention, and got to run around in the backyard a lot, and got lots of snuggles, and even now have my new best friend pinned behind the bed.....CHLOE!  

She has officially worn me out.

Still knocked out.

Because....I'm a Golden Retriever magnet!

My new neighborhood Golden buddy, Bailey!

My other new neighborhood Golden buddy, Bear!

Yep, I'm officially a Golden Retriever magnet!  Apparently my Gran"dog"ma's neighborhood is sprinkled with Golden Retrievers, only to be discovered once I stayed there for a week.  Better yet, Gran"dog"ma's backyard neighbor's Golden, Bear, decided to break out of his yard to trot into mine- for playtime!  What a silly, clever, and mischievous dog! :) But, we had SO much fun, and Bear's parents really don't mind when he wanders over, and neither does Gran"dog"ma.  When the neighbors saw us having all the fun, they brought over their dog, Bailey, ANOTHER Golden!  So, we all wore each other out, creating another "success" in my book.

What sorts of mischief have you been up to this week?  Discuss!

(Oh, and if you haven't entered the giveaway yet, you have a little less than two weeks to get your entries in!) 

Chow!

Mischief Monday- a Thanksgiving SURPRISE!

Hellooooo, Everyone!

We are on Day 3 at Grandma's house- I really do love getting to spend time over there.  Bosses have taken a break from life in Minnesota and are visiting family on the East Coast.  Grandma has a little orange cat named Chloe, whom I love to chase around- she, on the other hand, is not amused by my shenanigans, so I hope I can leave her alone.  We'll see how that goes. :)

And now, for my surprise!

I am having my FIRST giveaway on Sadie the Golden Pup!  I am SO excited to have the opportunity to spread a little "Holiday Cheer" to my readers- so, be on the lookout for what's in store on Friday.

In the meantime, I will be causing mischief fun and good times over at Gran"dog"ma's house while my Bosses are on vacation.  It's pretty fun!  So far, I've been pretty *not* mischievous.  But who knows how long I can keep that up! ;-)

FitDog Friday: Vacation!

Have you ever felt so worn out that you needed a vacation?

We do! Well, at least the Bosses seem to be pretty drained these days.

My Mom and Dad are leaving this afternoon for the East Coast for a little relaxation with family over the holidays.  So, since I'll be with my Gran"dog"ma, please give me a little slack the next week as I will be many miles away from my keyboard!  I'll be in town, but my computer won't! :)

A dog needs a little vacation every now and again, just like my wiped-out Bosses!

Mom has made sure to pack me all the goodies I need:

• frozen KONG treats with yogurt and fruit in them (they keep me busy for Gran"dog"ma)
• my bed
• my crate
• my toys
• food
• CHEW TOYS!

Mom says I can be a bit of a handful when I'm bored, so these things will ensure that I don't send poor Granny to the looney bin! She loves dogs (and me!), but I'm pretty high-energy- I drive the Bosses bonkers on occasion, too.

My gran"dog"ma's kitty, Chloe!

Know what the best part of Granny's house is (other than the little orange kitty and Granny, of course)?  She has a FENCED-IN YARD!!! So, I can run myself in bigger circles than I could at my house!  Yahoo! I'll be thoroughly exercised every day. :)

Hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

Chloe and I are going to have a "blast" this week! ;-)  Or at least I will!
