Our weekend

We had a really busy weekend!! It didn't start off very well.

Ryder had to go to the vet on Friday morning. He was a very

naughty boy. He likes to lick his "nether region."

Well, he licked it so much that he made it raw and scabby.

The food people were not happy with Ryder.

He has to wear a cone or else he has to wear this underwear.

He looks ridiculous and he is humiliated.

I keep telling him it's his own fault.

Saturday night, the food people had a party. I LOVE when

the food people have parties. That means I got lots of

pets and extra snacks. I also got beer too.

(The food people had too many cocktails, so they didn't take any pics at the party.)
Almost all of my agility fans were there too and some new fans.

It was lots of fun. I was really tired. Everyone at the party

kept hollering at Ryder when he was naughty.

He did get a lot of ice cubes though. So he was pleased.

Then on Sunday, we went to my Aunt Kathleen's house.

Ryder's brother Ernie, lives with Aunt Kathleen.

She has a HUGE yard and there was a lot of mud.

We were all very happy. She took lots of pictures of us.

Here is Ryder and Ernie. Ernie is very funny.

He made the food people laugh a lot.

I will tell you why in a bit.

Ernie and Ryder spent a lot of time chasing me.

I know they just wanted my Cuz.

Aunt Kathleen put this awesome pool in the yard too.

I love lounging in the pool.

Do you notice I am giving Ernie the stink-eye?

Ernie really liked me for some reason.

He wouldn't leave me alone.

He really wanted to get in the pool with me.

More stink-eye at Ernie.

I also noticed that Ernie makes a lot of noise.

I thought Ryder made a lot of noise with his squealing, but Ernie

takes the cake. He grunts and snorts and squeals.

This is Ernie's big sister, Snickers. She wanted no part in

our games. She did bark a lot at her neighbors though.

They were kind of scary.

The yard got really muddy. You guys all know how I love

the mud. I rolled in it and ate it and made a huge mess.

The food people were not pleased with how dirty we all were.

Aunt Kathleen called this picture "Garden Weasel."

I really enjoyed running around the yard and flower beds.

I also enjoyed rolling in the mulch, the mud and the grass

(Notice who is right there? Yes, ERNIE!)

Trip to the beach!!!

This weekend the food people FINALLY took us back to the beach.

My brother, Jameson, was staying with us this weekend too.

I like when he stays over. He plays with Ryder and I can get some

much needed rest. I brought my beloved cuz to the beach too.

However, Saturday night I left my cuz at my friends house.

I hope they will bring it back to me this weekend.

I cannot live without my yellow cuz.

Do you think my cuz will be ok?

The food people tried to sneak in this green cuz.
I only went to get it once. Then it floated away.
I NEED MY YELLOW CUZ

Ryder had a good time at the beach too.

He ran around and even got in the water!!

We were all very proud of him.

The food people keep telling him he better learn to love

the water or he is going to have a really boring summer!

Look at him go!!!

He is very vain too.

He likes to stand around and look all handsome.

And everyone walks by and tells him how good looking he is.

Ryder also introduced himself to this little French Bulldog.

psst, Ryder, you take poops bigger than that dog!

It's also good to have a brother to help you dig holes

We got a lot more accomplished with the 2 of us digging.
