Meet Griffin ~ featured pet friend!

Meet Griffin.    Griffin is a Golden Retriever.  He's spunky and I just love him!   His human momma, I call her Library Momma because she works in a high school library.  Library Momma and Pack Leader met while they were working at the same high school a few years ago.  After finding out they both were owned by Golden Retrievers....they instantly became pals. 

Just like Griffin and me!  

Isn't Griffin dashing in his bow tie collar?!    He wore this during our first play date.   Obviously, Griffin was trying to impress me!    He's just the cutest!

Griffin's nickname is Peeper because when he tries to get comfy in his crate, or when he misses his humans....he makes a "peeeeep" sound!   Rumor has it...that he peeps like that because it just makes Library Momma go crazy!   Her heart just melts.    BOL!   Keep peeping Griffin....it'll get you places!

Griffin also has a big sister.   Her name is Athena, and she is a Golden Retriever.    She is so sweet to him, even when Griffin behaves like a little stinker!    He also learns from Athena.   You're lucky to have a big sister Griffy!

Griffin loves his teenage boy humans!   He loves it when they come home from school and pick him up to cuddle!    They throw the tennis ball for Griffin and his spiky blue football!   

Griffin can't get enough of his favorite snacks, which is plain Greek yogurt and scrambled eggs!   He also enjoys ground turkey too!   Wow, Griffin you sure do have great taste in foods!

Library Momma told Pack Leader that Griffin enjoys sleeping on her head at 5 a.m.!   BOL!  

What's that gonna be like when you're full grown Griffin!   

Griffin and I like to run around his yard and chase tennis balls, Athena, or dig up a root.   Griffin is a great digger!   One day, he just may be a famous archeologist and we can see what he discovered at a museum in Washington DC!

Griffin tells such funny jokes ~  here we are barking out loud!

Ring-around the rosie.....

I have so much fun with my friend Griffin!   I can't wait until our humans plan more play dates!  This summer, Griffin is going to have a pool pawty!     In the meantime, I'm going to work on my back stroke!

*Griffin will be in my scrap book - coming soon.  So be sure to stop back and look at some of my favorite pictures!

Until next time!

Woofs,

Murphy

Cha-cha-cha Changes....

Hi!  It's me....Murphy!  
It's been like a cats nine lives since I've been able to bark about things on here....but soooooo many changes have taken place over the past few weeks I can barely catch my breath!   Tennis balls...yes.

I've been quite busy too!    Last Thursday I met with my Golden Glory cousin Marley and his brother Cooper.   Cooper and Marley came to the park close to where my Love Givers office is located. That would be One Loudoun.   We had a barking good time!    Marley is the king of tennis ball catching.   Love Giver and Uncle Michael were throwing the ball for him.   Love Giver is very impressed with Marley's athletic ability.   Of course he does...my Love Giver was a football player!   I was chasing the tennis ball and  Marley then I would get distracted by the big Schnauzer that was chasing Cooper around.   After all...I'm a warrior and warriors protect their family and friends.   At least that's what I pretended I was doing, until another distraction people caught my eyes or nose!    It was so much fun I can't wait to hang out with Marley and Cooper again!  

Cooper, Marley & Me!

Friday I had my playdate with my new friend Monster.  He's not really a monster, but his humans like classic Frankenstein movies!   BOL!    Monster and I are the same age and we play together like we've been pals forever!   He tries to pin me, but then I just sit on him.   His favorite thing to do is  tennis ball collecting!   Me too!

We met some nice tennis players who surrendered their tennis balls after playing a game!   And all I had to do was wiggle my golden bum and wag my tail so hard it made a loud thumping noise on the court!    The tennis coach said I was too cute and he told Pack Leader that he will keep a stash of used tennis balls under a park bench for me and my friends!    Love to game point!

 

Monster & Me!

Now, this here is Mr. Quacker.  Pack Leader said if I got 50 total likes on my Facebook page - I could go pick out a new toy!   I love ducks.  But because I'm not permitted to bring one home with me from the nature preserve Pack Leader is afraid of anything with wings I knew exactly what kind of new stuffie I was going to pick!  A Mallard!  

Mr. Quacker even honks like a real duck!   I carry him around and shake him until I get dizzy!

 

Told you I collect tennis balls!

I have been loosing my puppy teeth and my big dog teeth are coming in!   My humans told me if I sleep through the night the Tooth Fairy will come visit.   I sleep through the night every night....and  I haven't had any visits from the Tooth Fairy!  Humans.....they are a very different breed of animal!

Except this human....she's special!   This week is Spring break for my Forever Human and I get her all to myself this week!   We are going to visit my Golden Retriever friend Griffin tomorrow so we can romp in the yard and chase the ball together!   I can't wait to see Griffin again!    Griffin is going to make his debut on here as my next fur friend guest!    Be sure to come back and read all about Griffin!

Until next time!

Doggone I'm Ready!

Hi it's me....Murphy!
I've been a little under the weather - my tummy had the hick-ups and I was almost in need of a human diaper!   Could you imagine....me....Murphy in a human diaper?!   
Dr. B, said it's because my intestine or as I prefer to call it, my cute tummy was irritated by too much mulch in there.   I'll admit, I have an obsession with the hard and crunchy dried out chemically treated pieces of landscaping accessory.   But why is it there...on the ground...next to trees tempting me and my fellow canine friends?    Then there are cigarettes and straws.   Starbuck cup lids and napkins.   If you don't want us critters hunting and eating these things then make sure you throw them in the trash!!   Except the mulch....I'm trying to "leave it"...really I am!    Oh, and lets not forget about the leftover food you humans drop!   My cousin Marley was able to enjoy a fresh slice of pepperoni pizza that some human just decided to put by the sidewalk.   Why would anyone do that with a perfectly fresh piece of pizza?   Humans!
I'm feeling much better now, and I can't wait to see my cousins Marley and Max again!   I need to jump on them and bite their ears and make them chase me!  

I'm loving this weather and I'm ready for some running with my friends and swimming with my family!   I have a new friend.  His name is Murphy!    Murphy is a Goldendoodle.   He lives close to the trails where my humans take me for my walks.   Murphy, my humans refer to him as "Big Murphy", likes to play with me at the tennis courts.   Big Murphy is two years old and he's ginormous!   Pack Leader and his human are going to make sure we can meet early in the mornings before it gets too hot.  So when Pack Leader means early....she's talkin 7:00am early!    Geez, she likes to wake up before the roosters.   I don't hear roosters but I do hear toads and lots of birds chirping early in the morning.   It's a sign of Spring!

My Scholar Human is home.   She had four teeth taken from her mouth and I don't know if she can ever eat again!    I don't see any fangs in her mouth....but I can see some big white teeth when she is drinking her chocolate-peanut butter and banana milkshakes!    She loves me a lot....and I love her a lot because every time she sneaks down to the kitchen to eat pudding I have a happy-pee!   I can't help myself!    I promised not to tell the other humans how much pudding she is eating....as long as she cleans up my puddle of happy-pee!   And she agreed!    

I'm told that I can manipulate with my pretty hazelnut eyes.....

Sassy Cat thinks she so special because she can sleep wherever she feels suits her needs.  She really likes the sunny spots....but when she's on the floor or on her fancy bed....I can sneak up on her and pounce!    Sassy Cat doesn't appreciate that!    Oh, she's so sassy!

My Love Giver has been working late nights with clients who want to buy houses so they can have children or better yet....get a dog!    But when he gets home....watch out...because I jump up in his arms and he lifts me up so I can kiss him all over his face!   

I can't wait to tell you what's next! 

Until next time!

Woofs,

Murphy
