Busy Summer

Buzz did lots of visiting this summer...to Grandma's ... to her playmates ... to the vet ... on several short trips ... basically he has been too busy for updates this summer. But now he is getting ready to go camping again for Labor Day Weekend. And as you may notice from his pictures he likes to try to steal potato chips (a whole bag at a time).

Buzz Goes Camping

This weekend Buzz went on his first camping trip. He definitely let all the dogs (big or small) know who was the boss. He liked being able to see all the other dogs and all the kids. He also liked the idea he got treats from some of the other campers on his walk. He got loose once and Laura had to set a world record in the sprint to catch him but overall I think he liked it.  

Happy 1st Birthday to ME

  

Well Buzz had a Birthday party yesterday and then headed off on a trip to Pennsylvania for a couple days.  He does love his new birthday squeaky toys a beehive (with bees he can pull out of the hive), Brutus (so he can root on Ohio State in the NCAA tourney) and of course a Birthday cake. And of course no road trip north east in Ohio is complete without a visit to Grandpas Cheese barn. Instead of sleeping in his bed, he thinks it is a play toy which he chews on and likes to sleep with it in his mouth ... but he is willing to share if you like a slobbery wet mess. Since we are going to our friends who have a new baby (okay she is just over a year old but since we haven't been able to visit with them she is new to us), I'm sure Buzz will be excited as he loves kids.

 

Rita's is Open

You may ask what is Rita's...well it is an ice cream, flavored ice, and custard place our family loves and since Buzz is part of the family, he is no different. When we said where we were going he ran for the car and jumped in and was ready to go. Once we got there and he got his special ice cream, he quitely ate it until it was gone when he decided he would try to make new friends he could talk out of their ice cream!

Sometimes You Need To Remind Him He Is A Dog

Sometimes with Buzz you have to remind him he is a dog. The other day Laura had some milk and when she looked the other way, he finished it for her. Now he has decided he loves milk. Luckily it had no negative effects on him (and according to Vets it won't hurt dogs though they too can be lactose intolerant).  He loves to shake hands (paws), sit, beg and now has added dancing to his routine but he really loves to be the king of the mountain. Wherever he goes he wants to make it to the highest point. He also loves to play hide and go seek.

Winter Blues

Well Buzz has decided he likes the snow but doesn't like the fact someone isn't outside to play with him most of the time. He also has decided jumping on everything is a fun game. He broke the glass table and pulled all the covers off the furniture to try to entice us to go out and play with him. He also figured out he could jump on the table to get to the top of the hot tub (that is until he broke the table!) But I guess overall he is just being a puppy who has the winter blues.

Merry Christmas Dog

Buzz is really getting into Christmas (though he is more into the unwrapping than wrapping).  He is excited about his presents and really doesn't want to wait to open them. He also likes to wear costumes as I'm sure you could tell by his pictures! Since he likes to spend more time outside than inside, when it started to snow the other day he got excited when it first started as he thought it was food falling from heaven!
