My parents say I’m hard to photograph. That my luxurious silky black fur just makes it impossible to see my features. We all know the truth that my handsomeness is just blinding to humanly camera contraptions. How could this handsome face be captured and shared other than on rare occasions? The world just wouldn’t know what to do. I will share some photos with you at this time but you have been warned. Ladies, take a seat.

I had to start you off easy. You can nearly see my striking features. Just had to make sure you were sitting down first.




Yes. I am a manly man. I run and jump and sweat and work out. But yet I am oh so delicate. Look how i gently cradle the ball.



Ladies. Please refrain from overtexting this stud. I know it is tempting but my parents only give me a limited texting plan. XOXO

The ‘rents took us to Pilot Mountain, NC for a day of hiking Saturday. The weather didn’t seem too deathly hot when we started our two hour drive west. Nor did it seem too deathly when we started our first leg of the hike.

La la la. This hike is quite enjoyable.

Oh look at the lovely views! Oh we are so refined on our scenic hike.

I promise I won't complain about staying at home anymore. I don't want to be refined and see scenic views. Get me HOME!

I can't believe I am going to say this - I agree with my brother!
Hope all of you out there in blog land had a great weekend! What did you do?

We traveled down to Florida again this year to visit our mom’s mom, our Florida Grandma! What a blast we had!

We played ball!

We tried to kill Mom while she photographed us playing ball!

We practiced our cheering skills! GO DUKE!

We were forced into taking family photos!

And of course what trip would be complete...

without the parents finding some way...

to completely demean and embarrass us. :D

Hope everyone had a fun and safe Easter weekend! We sure did!

We are sprung for Spring! I know we are right in the middle of a riveting photo series of our beach trip, but we couldn’t resist sharing some photos from this weekend - kicking off Spring!
What did everyone else do to celebrate? We had a quintessential Spring day here in North Carolina - mid 70s and SUNNY! We had so much energy - we just couldn’t be contained!

Told you we were on the move!!! Watch out! Coming through!

Spring smells good...so does poop though...

Ha! Ha! I bet that last comment grossed you out! Poop rules - and is tasty!

Blek! I can't believe you just said that.

I can't be a part of such unrefined conversations. I'm going to go chew on this tree root.

Hey! I heard that! You eat poop too! Don't try to act like you don't!!!

Unrefined? NOT ME! Check out this stack!

For the 19th consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred dog in America, but could this be the last year for the Lab’s reign?
According to American Kennel Club® (AKC) 2009 registration statistics released today during a press conference at Grand Central Terminal in New York City, the German Shepherd Dog overtook the Yorkshire Terrier last year and is now ranked second most popular in the nation for the first time in more than three decades.
GO GSDs!

We rarely get snow during the winter months in North Carolina. Usually our days are filled with gray skies that if we were just a few hours north, would deliver a white winter wonderland. But instead we usually see rainy days and muddy yards (and floors). This weekend we awoke to to our favorite site - SNOW! Of course we had to celebrate with our favorite snow play buddies - Tyson and Maddie. Did anyone else get winter weather this weekend?

No…no…get your mind out of the gutter. This doesn’t involve a lady friend. I peed on my first tree on our walk today! I was just walking along stiffing around. And suddenly I got the urge. I don’t know what came over me. I walked up to the tree. And lifted my leg! Mom and Dad seemed super proud so I gave it a go again. This time I stumbled a bit and peed on my foot.
Oh well. I am still getting the hang of it. You try it! It isn’t so easy!
That’s all for now!

I’m at the vet today to get a preliminary xray check of my hips and elbows for OFA certification. Hopefully I pass.
My parents only want me to make sweet sexy luv time with the ladies if we can make healthy lil pups. I just wanna have fun. Parents sure can be a buzz kill! If sedation and xrays weren’t enough, I also have to get my booster one year shots and microchipped. SHEESH! I’ll report in when I’m done. Cross your paws for me that all goes well!
