Things are pretty much the same around here. Oliver is still a handful! He has grown to his full size, a respectable 15 pounds (about 7 kg). Mom thinks that he might get more muscle, but he hasn’t gotten any bigger in a while.

Mom’s work is still yucky, so that’s why we haven’t posted a lot lately. Mom took a picture of me with her ipad, and I thought that we could share it—and then I talked her into writing up this post!

Mom says that things will change once she gets a different job—and we will post more. She has been fiddling with making a miniature farmyard for the little ones. The shed broke, so now she has to put it back together, but here’s a picture of what it looks like all together.

Sooner or later, there will be more grass, a vegetable plot, and a chicken coop!

I hope you’re all having a good day, and I hope Mom will be in the mood to write more soon!

Long time no see!

Again, I know. It is difficult to blog with the laptop when Oliver is around. He likes to sit on the laptop.

He used to look like that. He weighed 4 pounds when he first came to live with us.

This is Oliver now. Mom says he is a force to be reckoned with. He weighs 15 pounds now. That’s about 6.8 kilograms. Mom says he has two speeds, on and off, and there’s not much in between! He likes sticks, running around, and car rides. He sleeps with Mom and me.

He has had his moment of internet fame as well. Mom uploaded some pictures of him to a website called the Daily Puppy. It said that they got thousands of admissions and it would be a long time before they got to ours. She thought it would just be kind of a lark—just try to see what would happen. Little did we know, they chose Ollie to be the daily puppy the very next day! We almost missed it! We were pretty happy!

I’m going to try to get Mom to share some pictures she took when she went to a ship festival. She got to go on two ships and the pictures were pretty cool!

I would like to introduce someone new today! He is our new puppy friend! He came to live with us last Monday. His name is Oliver Wendell Holmes. (Mom likes fancy names!) He is a brown and white Boston terrier.

He was born on March 6th, 2013. Mom doesn't quite trust him to take a picture of us both together quite yet! We will post more pictures later!

Things have been pretty quiet here. We're still trying to find a new puppy, and we still miss Princess. There is a puppy in Illinois that Mom found. We're trying to make an appointment to see him, but the lady seems to be very busy.

A few days ago, Mom took Robinson to Build-a-Bear to get new clothes. Robinson doesn't fit clothes very well, and Mom had an idea to bring him with to make sure he fit them. She got talking to the very nice manager lady, and she put more stuffing inside him! (Robinson doesn't know, but he might go back to get some of the stuffing removed, because he's a bit too firm now!) Now, Robinson can sit up on his own!

Mom went to Build-a-Bear to bring home a new friend. When Mom was a little girl, she loved My Little Pony. She is amused that it is so popular now! One bright side to this is that there is very cool things to buy! We welcomed Rainbow Dash, a MLP BAB into our hug!

She seems like a very nice girl, and we're all looking forward to getting to know her!

We tried posting this with Blogsy, but Mom either quite hasn’t gotten the handle of it, or it’s just not going to make the posts as pretty as Mom wants them to be. So we had to redo it!

My mom's parents left on their vacation to Alabama. That means that more of my friends can come downstairs and sit with us!

Robinson and Foster appreciate the change in scenery!

For Mom's tax return, she bought herself a brand new iPad. We have been playing with it a lot lately. (It's a good distraction!) There are all sorts of apps that we can play, including a Disney Cars one. Mom found a little Lightning McQueen at Goodwill that was part of it!

One reason Mom wanted an iPad was for her photography. There are a lot of really interesting photo apps. She has taken a few pictures of me, played with them on the iPad, and posted them on Flickr. This is one of them that she took today. We're new at the Blogger app, and I don't see how to insert the photo and keep on writing after it. I guess this is going to be the end of this entry!

We were going to tell you all about what had happened in the month of January, but the day before yesterday, our dog, Princess, passed away. So we’re not in a very posting mood right now. She was 11 years old. Mom’s parents found her passed away in her cage when they can home from work. We’re glad that it happened at home and it was quick and quiet. It’s still sad, since Princess was our friend. We’ll post in a couple of days.
