Nearly enough hair to create a third German Shepherd in just one brushing session!

Pilot Mountain, NC - A Hike

PruettDaphne — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:01:10 +0000

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 know it has been WAY too long since we’ve posted! I’ll get the ‘rents on that! We were featured over on Cooper’s blog today. He is my full brother from the same litter. Check out their posts and see if you can tell us apart!

Wags,

Easter

PruettDaphne — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:03:09 +0000

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!

Spring!

PruettDaphne — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 19:26:47 +0000

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!

The Beach Part 1 - Overview & Body Surfing

PruettDaphne — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:34:48 +0000

We drove out to Kure Beach near Wilmington, NC for a fun Saturday surf session. There are complicated restrictions regarding what beaches allow dogs at what time of year. So we had to do some research but found this place that allows us until the end of March. Off leash is “ok” as long as no one is looking.

We had such an awesome time! I think we had more fun than Mom and Dad though. Could have been the fact that Pruett threw a big puppy tantrum (which I thought was super funny but the ‘rents didn’t look too amused) or it could have been the fact that Pruett peed in the back of the car…twice…on the trip home or maybe when he pooped in the water as people started to approach and the poo was crashing up against him in the waves. I tried to tell him that he couldn’t drink the whole ocean, but he just didn’t believe me! And you have to admit - the ocean sure does look like a big toilet! Fish poop in there! Why can’t we???

There were so many fun photos that we can’t possibly put them all in one post. This first photo series will highlight Pruett’s body surfing skills.

The wave approaches. Pruett watches and SWIMS toward it! Are you crazy boy? You see me running away. YIKES! What will happen?

CRASH!

BOOM! There goes Pruett!

Extreme close up of this "bravery" is needed...

LOL! I can't stop laughing! Silly brother!!!

I was thinking maybe I should go in and help him...

But he washed up with the next wave and seemed A-OK! You'd think he would have learned his lesson...

But he headed right back out to sea!

Breakfast in Bed

PruettDaphne — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 19:05:33 +0000

We went to Carolina Motorsports Park last weekend to see Dad compete in his first race! When we travel we stay in pet friendly hotels and it feels like a vacation. So as a special treat I got breakfast in bed!

The track is in South Carolina so you wouldn’t expect the winter weather we got! More than four inches of snow ended up falling which is a lot for that part of the US. We of course loved it!

Here are some pics from the track:

The gold and blue car is Dad's SpecE30. The other cars shown are his competitors. GRRRRR!

Check out my rockin drool string. You know you are jealous.

Yup - I'm still laughing over the drool!

Pruett is completely mesmerized and in awe of my superior drooling skills.

Way to go Dad! We are so proud of you!

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.
