Ain't this the truth?

I tried to tell mommy that I'd be good for getting up and exercising but she just doesn't understand my barks sometimes. She knows now though, especially cause she has me helping her and auntie Nikki exercising! And next month auntie Tracie will be back for a visit and mommy says she wants to take me for a stroll too! Yeah! Mommy also knows that if she doesn't take me then I have way too much energy and drive her crazy!

Dear Daddy

Dear Daddy,

I misses you so much while you are gone. It was so exciting when the mailman brought a package, and it smelled like you!!! Thank you for sending mommy's card...she liked it very much!

And thank you, oh, thank you for my new frisbee toy. Yesterday I played with it in the pool. It's the best frisbee EVER!

Ok, so I have something to tell you. Pees remember that I am so cute, even when I'm sassy! While Mommy and Auntie Nikki were sleeping the other night I went through the box...you know, to see what other presents you might have sent me. I founds one that reminds me of you!

And it is YUMMY too. So yummy that I already had the edges all chewed before Mommy caught me.

Mommy tried to take it away, but it was already too late.

I loves you Daddy!

Thanks you so much for sending your cover for me to chew on so that I don't misses you as much.

I promise I will take very good care of it and make sure that I chew it ALL up. Pees oh pees Daddy don't be mad at me!

Don't I look cute in your hat???

Love,

Dixie

Mommy's 1st Mother's Day

Dear Mommy,

I don't know how I can tell you how much I loves you. I tried a lot of different ways - jumping on you in the morning so that you are not late for work, playing tug o war to build up your arm muscles, eating your magazines and paper to help with recycling...chewing up daddy's old clothes so that you have to get rid of them... But it just didn't seem like enough to thank you for all that you do for me. So I talked to daddy and he helped me pick out the perfect card for you for Mommy's Day! It even rhymes!!

Daddy even helped me sign it!

So...gives me the tummy rubbin lovin and a sausage, pees???

Loves you!

The Beach!

Mommy and auntie Nikki took me to the doggy beach by Louis' Backyard! (Um, its about time too! They walk me by Smathers Beach all the darn time and they know I can't go play there) I splashed a little in the water, or maybe it was more like the waves splashed me but I absolutely loved the cool sand and bouncing around in it! Check out these pictures and videos!
The sand makes me go c-c-c-crazy!
Yep, I love the beach!

And of course mommy gave me a bath when we got home... which I don't mind too terribly:
