That's right, I'm giving Mom the stink eye in this one...I think she deserves it, what do you think? However, I did cooperate for Baby Joslyn's sake but not for long, mind you!</div>

In other news, I wanted to share about my guard dog abilities with everyone. Mom and Dad never knew if I had it in me but I showed them...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had a visitor a few weeks ago and I greeted them the night they came but didn't realize they spent the night. When they came downstairs the next morning Mom and Baby J were in the kitchen when they heard this loud, ferocious barking and came running to see me barking and lunging at our sweet 12 year old visitor! Don't worry, I was only warning her but had she been an intruder then she would have been in for a bad time. ;) Anyway, Mom quickly assured me she was ok and then I was fine but ya never can be too careful when it comes to guarding your family and especially little sisters! Mom was actually happy to see I had a protective instinct in me so I got extra treats that day...hehehe!</div>

We got out early since it's supposed to be another 95+ degree day here, but it was already toasty at 9am. After my splash fest and play time with my pal I think I'll hang out in the a.c. the rest of the day. Ahhh, the life of a house dog is the life for me....well, on scorchers like today anyway. Stay cool everyone!</div>

Well hello there, I understand if you have forgotten about me as I have been away for far too long! I have finally talked Mom into helping me write a post for the blog though, and hopefully we can continue this trend. ;) Anyway, I hope that you all are BARKariffic. </div>

I thought I'd share some of the ups & downs over the course of the past year related to sharing a home with a tiny human (in real terms, having your home taken over by a crying, pooping, spitting, grabby, and of course, cute, little devil and having your existence as you knew it completely upturned). </div>

DOWN: When they first arrive, it is quite scary! They are laying there quiet and still and then suddenly they move or cry, and it really catches you off guard, so be prepared for this. I always managed to get away quickly at this stage without skin to fur contact...shooo!</div>

Don't worry, the grafitti you see is only chalk so it will wash off. She has plans to do more chalk photos sometime. Apparently, she wants to use her chalk drawings and pictures to make a story book for my baby sister and me...should be interesting. Hope you all are having a super week...we're supposed to get up to 65 m.p.h. winds here tonight.

I know it's early but these days I have to seize the opportunity for Mom to help me type when I can get it! Boy do I miss all of my blog pals...hope you all are wonderful, healthy, and happy this holiday season!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I am doing great except tomorrow I have to go to the vet and have my teeth cleaned and this growth (totally harmless) cut off my leg...YUCK and DOUBLE YUCK!!! I tried to convince Mom that we should wait until after the holidays for my teeth cleaning since I will inevitably be getting and eating LOTS of treats but she didn't seem to listen. Hmmmph! Also, Mom shut my tail in the car door last week! The door didn't actually latch and shut completely and Mom opened it back up very fast. She apologized about a billion times and gave me three treats! I did yip a little and she felt pretty bad especially since she is always so careful about that but she said I was turning with my tail tucked and I whipped it around at just the wrong time. I do not recommend getting your tail shut in a door though...NOT fun! Luckily, it didn't even leave a dent and I went and romped with my pal right afterward and was just fine. Other than that, life is good and I have been enjoying some cold, frosty walks with my doggie pal, Ozzie!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">Also, when I had Mom all to myself....Little J was still in her tummy and granted, Mom was slower, but she was mine, ALL mine! If I only knew then I would have cherished those days a bit more. Mom says it will get easier as Joslyn grows and that she will have more time for me...I hope so because I kind of miss hanging with her like I used to. She says she misses hanging with me too. For now, I will have to be ok with the walks we take with Joslyn and the short play periods I get with her at home. At least I have Dad...he makes sure I get a walk on those days Mom can't get out with me.</div>Amber and Nalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110725669053043304noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498505200435630316.post-24622130249274416512011-08-23T08:05:00.000-07:002011-08-23T08:05:58.574-07:00Good Dog<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_H1rdBmHyii-FBgn8lVrzCyy1UY_nkBKDn1gl61H4bB6Tsg9_1tj3yOFmVvW1pXtTbi402i6kuygdWgfrKqB6tTAa_GiNjWD-4BIoXPET9ElypfQH0s0EAuicFk4_p-a5-N-qgzhX0Ok/s1600/modelnala2small.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_H1rdBmHyii-FBgn8lVrzCyy1UY_nkBKDn1gl61H4bB6Tsg9_1tj3yOFmVvW1pXtTbi402i6kuygdWgfrKqB6tTAa_GiNjWD-4BIoXPET9ElypfQH0s0EAuicFk4_p-a5-N-qgzhX0Ok/s400/modelnala2small.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nala's Mom here...I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to all of those who have been visiting our blog. I know I haven't returned the favor lately, and that may be the case for awhile with this new little one here but I have been thinking of all of you. :) Nala has too, of course! ;) I just feel fortunate to get a few posts in here and there. Also, I have started a family blog where I am posting photos of, well, mostly Joslyn, but the other family members get in there occasionally too. hehehe! If you are interested the address is <a href="http://www.yeagerfamily.wordpress.com/">http://www.yeagerfamily.wordpress.com</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The picture of Nala above was on a day I was taking photos of Joslyn and Nala hopped up on the bed with us. I thought she needed some good photo attention too. She proved to still be the excellent model she has always been. She has been SO amazing with Joslyn...she sniffs her alot more now and REALLY wants to lick her face although we have not allowed this as our little babe is still a little young for doggie face licks. I can't wait for the day when we are ready to allow their relationship to really blossom...I know Nala will be great. During the day, I don't have as much time to devote to Nala as before but she manages to stay close to us. She tends to follow us whereever we go...upstairs, downstairs, on the bed. I am so proud of Nala for being such a great big sister even though in the middle of the night I do think she gets a bit annoyed with the occasionally crying. :) That's to be expected right...who can blame her? Nala's Dad has been so great about getting Nala out everyday and I have even dared go out with Nala and the baby in the stroller a handful of times. So far, Nala has been awesome but soon we are due for some more exciting adventures instead of simple walks around our neighborhood. The time is coming Nala...just hang in there!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This babysitting stuff is hard work...I don't think I have ever been so exhausted. Someone's got to do it though! Actually, this is right after Mom and Dad brought Joslyn home from her 2 week check-up which went very well...she's already up to 7 lbs.! Can you say "little piggy"! ;) BOL! I won't mention the pregnancy sympathy weight I gained, but let's just say I can afford to shed a few while this little gal packs on the pounds. Anyway, Mom and Dad were surprised to see me this comfortable so close to Miss J...I just sat there and watched her sleep and listened to her interesting baby noises. Babies are quite entertaining.</div><br />

I must say though that I still don't know quite what to think about my new sister...she's cute and all but I am just not sure. For now, I try to keep my distance and sniff from afar. Let me tell ya though...she is a night owl and definitely interrupting my beauty sleep...every time she cries I have to stand alert and make sure things are ok!</div><br />

Does this face look stubborn to you?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mom says my little sister must be stubborn like me. She apparently is not ready to emerge from her cozy little home just yet. I totally understand what that's like...it's like when you are all bundled up in a warm blankie on the couch or bed and then you stick your muzzle behind a pillow to shut out everything and just relax and you just want to stay in that spot with no interruptions...ahhh, can't say that I blame her! ;) <br />
<br />

On the other hand...we are all ready to meet you baby girl, so <strong>please</strong> come out soon. I don't know how much longer I can take this pregnancy thing. Mom is slow, lacking energy, and can't chase me around the kitchen table quite like she used to. Trust me, it's not so bad out here and as soon as you are here I will begin instructing you on how to wrap Mom and Dad around your tiny little paw, I mean finger! :) Hope to see you soon Joslyn!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">Well, Mom is due to have MY baby sister next Wednesday, but I can hardly wait!! It could be any day or it could be even longer than next Wednesday...at least that's what Mom tells me. I sure am hoping it's not too much longer. I have been watching over her room diligently. I've already found a nice, cozy spot to lay in her room...right in front of her crib. I hear babies smell soooo good...I'm super excited to give baby Joslyn a good sniff when she gets home, and I'll probably attempt to give her a few kisses although Mom says my kisses need to be reserved for only her and Dad for awhile. Whatever Mom! We'll see about that! ;)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I know my days as an only child are short in number these days, but I think I am going to be ok with that! As you can see, Mom still adores ME as much as ever! I think it will be fun to have 3 girls in the house as we can gang up on Dad! BOL! Dad, if you are reading this then please know that Mom <strong>forced</strong> me to say that...please don't hold it against me and withhold my treats. :)</div><br />

I spent a wonderful Father's Day with my PAWSOME Dad yesterday! I woof my Dad! We went for a walk with Mom, played in the creek, and had a nice picnic. My favorite part was pulling a gigantic stick out of the water that Dad threw in for me...of course, I had to wait for it to circle back toward the shore as I am NOT a water dog and refused to go very far to get it! ;) Below are a few more pictures of me with my wonderful Dad!<br />

Hi everyone, I'm still here and thinking about you as I frolic through the fields and wait for my sister to arrive. Mom and Dad have been slammed trying to get things ready for the new human pup! ;) They are very close to having things ready though, and then she will be here before we know it....only about 5 weeks left! Mom says I must know something is going on because I have been a huge "pill" lately...way more whiny and constantly trying to trick the humans that I have gone out to "potty" and then coming back in trying to get my treat. I have NO idea what she is talking about...hehehehe! I have also started (according to Mom) breaking up how I go potty. I go out and piddle and then come collect my treat and then I go back out for my morning BM and then come and collect my treat for that too!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Mom and I went for a nice walk today in this gorgeous meadow. It was sunny and so warm out, and the flowers were just starting to pop out. I bet in another week or two the balsam root will be out in full force. We saw some elk up on the hill, and I even found a delicious bone to chew on. ;) Ahhh, what a great life!</div>Amber and Nalahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13110725669053043304noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498505200435630316.post-80033307520747275542011-05-09T08:44:00.000-07:002011-05-09T08:44:12.511-07:00Mother's Day ~ 2011<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ6wINfrnY8z4AAwy6IiAdJnJJCKEOGoN5NBXL9JBDu64pC7mliz97gk0zBg-99N_k4D4jFGCNuXf5mn66FXew8dvfIGoR94SPwOPgV2ZozRPDCTSVw_ADKt5FQIHm_VeC0BDWAflF66k/s1600/mothersdaywalksmall.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ6wINfrnY8z4AAwy6IiAdJnJJCKEOGoN5NBXL9JBDu64pC7mliz97gk0zBg-99N_k4D4jFGCNuXf5mn66FXew8dvfIGoR94SPwOPgV2ZozRPDCTSVw_ADKt5FQIHm_VeC0BDWAflF66k/s400/mothersdaywalksmall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>I'm SOOOO happy to have my Mom back! She was gone for 2 and a half weeks visiting family and friends in Ohio & West Virginia...the longest we've ever been apart! My Dad was gone for a long time too although I did get to see him a little more than Mom. It's great having my family here with me. Luckily, Mom made it back just in time for Mother's Day! Dad and I took her to Leavenworth, WA for the day where she and Dad enjoyed brunch at this crepe restaurant they love although Mom didn't even have the crepes this time...go figure. You can never predict what a pregnant lady is gonna do! Then, we went for a walk by the river and then we went for another little walk on this mountain biking trail. Mom was really slow though...again, she blamed it on the pregnancy. Will there ever be an end to the pregnancy excuses? ;) Just teasing Mom! BOL! After that, Mom and Dad got themselves a milkshake, gave me a treat, and we headed home. It was a beautiful day spent with my family. Hope all you other dog Moms and human Moms had a furtastic Mother's Day too! Make sure all you canines give your Moms extra kisses and cuddles this week!<br />

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I can't believe Mom had the nerve to put this one MY blog. Apparently, there were four of these rotten furballs at my Mom's Dad's house.

Normally, I get a frozen peanut butter, banana, and yogurt bone for my birthday and a special dinner, but this year Mom and I were at my Nanny & Grampi's so things were a tad different. We were there because our kitchen has been gutted due to a water leak and there were these big, scary, LOUD monsters (air movers and humidifier) in our house that we wanted to escape. Luckily, Nanny & Grampi took us in for 3 nights...they are the BEST! So, instead of my usual birthday routine I got to do some different stuff like go to the Pet Market (where my brother <a href="http://remirhodi.blogspot.com/">Remi</a> goes) and get this delicious pig ear you see me devouring above. I picked it out myself!! I even met the store dog named George. He really wanted to play but for once I was too interested in all the smells and checking out the store, so I paid him little attention. He sure seemed like a sweetie though.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was sad that he wasn't there, but I'll catch him another time, I'm sure! Anyway, it was a gorgeous and sunny day which has been rare in this area for awhile. I met lots of nice dogs and got to play with this sweet girl named Kaya. She is a Husky/German Shepherd mix.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
