Princess Miri . . .

Finally!  

Mommy made me a throne from which I shall gaze upon my domain.

Woof woof.

The  pedestal was too
steep for me, at first.

 Mommy added another tier.

What a good spot to chew a bone!

By the way, this was grandma's idea.

Thanks grandma! 

Old Friends . . .

The other day, I got to go play with some old friends of mine:

Ranger

Tigger (the white poodle) and a new friend, Milo.

I was so excited to run and play with them.

Ranger's mom threw a stick for us,
and I was running so fast that I tripped!

I didn't get hurt, though.

Then I lost interest and went back to my nest in the bushes.

Ranger has gotten so big, since I saw him last!

Check out the Before and After:

I could hardly recognize him.

Here I am with Tigger.  

See how much I look like a poodle?

Ranger's my old buddy, so he didn't mind when I ate his food.

Munch Munch Munch . . .

School Night!

Mommy took me back to school!

I'm the star of the class.

Duh.

Asleep on the Job, Again . . .

Asleep at my Desk!

What Fast?

Last night, we all went to a big party
at our cousin's house to "break the fast."

I met lots of people,

and I mostly behaved myself.

Here I am guarding the family from two big dogs next door.

I barked and barked.

Me and Uncle Alex. 

I spent the rest of the day in the back yard, sniffing, and digging, and relaxing.

There was no fasting involved.

Going to Grandma's House . . .

I love my grandma.

I know when we're near her house.

Mommy takes too long to park. 

There.
That's better.

  One of my best spots.

Enjoying a Beautiful Afternoon . . .

On my lounge chair, of course.

Miri Goes to Cafe Milano . . .

 I walked to dinner with mommy and grandma.

 Sleeping on grandma's lap.

I got bored after a couple hours.

Me and mommy.

Practicing My New Trick . . .

Down!

Miri Goes to School!

 Mommy took me to obedience school.

I'm the smallest dog in the class.

The rottweiler next to me was a little distracting.

I learned "down" right away!

Animals Dressed as Humans . . .

Mommy bought me this raincoat.

I don't think I like it.

Into the Woods . . .

We went exploring in the woods.

First, mommy let me run around 

in the park near our house for a little while,

and then we followed a path we've never taken before.

We couldn't believe what was in there!

Lots and lots of woods.

And a community garden.

We walked a long way and had a lot of fun.

I told mommy I was getting tired.

We stopped for a little rest on the way home.

A Family Visit . . .

My Aunt Nirbhao came all the way from Santa Fe to meet me!

My Uncle Bruce came over, too!

I'm so lucky.

There are so many people who love me!
