Do You Think She Loves Me?

I went to the mailbox with Mom this afternoon, and there was a package addressed to ME. From a GIRL. Not just any girl, but from Princess Sophie Lou!! I didn't want my Mom to know how excited I was, so at first I acted manly and stared off as if I saw something fascinating in the distance.

After maintaining my composure for approximately 2.365 seconds, I commenced to stuffing my face into the envelope.

And what was inside? Be still my heart, it was a Valentine  that said "Be Mine." Sophie Lou looked so beautiful in her fur-trimmed heart-shaped antenna.

If that wasn't enough she also sent me a muscle shirt bandana that says "Property of Cupid."

This could well be my best Valentine's EVER. Thank you Miss Sophie and Janelle, you made me so happy!

Thank You Augie & Ti!

I was so excited to find a package at the front door from my friends Augie and Ti! It was a Valentine's gift, and the box was beautifully decorated with hearts. Mom was a little slow opening the box, so I tried swatting her with my paw in an effort to expedite the process.

Perhaps I'll just nibble on the corner here while I wait...

Inside there was another pretty box covered with hearts! Augie also wrote a sweet card to my Mom that had a handsome photo of him on the front.

My nose told me there was something wonderful inside.

Inside I found a glorious black and white spotted stuffie of the bovine persuasion!

I immediately introduced myself and made the acquaintance of his large nose.

He was delicious! 

After bouncing around with my new friend, it was time for a nap.

Thank you so much Augie & Ti, and your Mom! I love my new toy and I appreciate you thinking of me.

New Bed

My bed in the human's bedroom has lost it's fluff, so much so that I have been managing to slide under the bed with it at night. Then I get stuck and the humans have to get up and pull me out by my legs. Not so much fun for any of us!

Today they bought me a new bed for watching TV, and moved my old fluffy TV bed to the bedroom. Hopefully no more getting wedged under the bed!

The Puppy Files

Once again, I am forced to amuse you with a flashback to my puppyhood.  The humans have been preoccupied with their weekend lumber jack festival firewood chores. Sheesh...

News from the Other Farley

We received an email from a couple that also has a Golden Retriever named Farley! They shared with us this wonderful story from their local paper, about a Golden Retriever named Brandy, who helped detect cancer in her human Mom and nursed her back to health.  You can read the story here

Tough Love

I had a tough love conversation with Mom this weekend. How do you let your human know they've gotten a little fluffy? I broke it to her gently with a gift and she appreciated my honesty. I don't know if it was a good idea because every morning she can't wait to get on the Wii Fit Plus, and after work she's kicking me and Dad out of the living room for round 2.  I think I've created a monster. What about my walk lady?! So far her favorite is the obstacle course. It is highly entertaining to peek around the corner and watch her too...

I Like...

I like making trails through snow that hasn't been squished yet...

I like when my Mom lets me carry my own leash and run like a crazy man when we're almost home...

I like Princess Sophie Lou...she's so pretty with her soft Golden curls and her tiara. 

And I like looking back to see if the humans are still watching me, when I'm about to get into mischief. Darn it, they're still watching!
