Mom is gone for the weekend so I get to sleep in the big bed.

It's time for Friday night snuggles.

I'm getting Henry kisses. 🥰

Monday's over. It's practically Friday guys!

This is a typical Saturday night for Bear.

I went to the groomer today and they stole my Grinch feet. I look good though don't you think?

Mom needed a quick nap to recharge for more cuddles.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day. We sure did.

Have a great weekend guys!

Dad had Mom distract me while he cut a knot out of my tail. Henry would never betray me like that.

I'm working on my puppy dog eyes. Am I doing it right?

I got a new chew toy. What do you think?

Hey guys! 👋 I'm really sorry I haven't checked in here in a while. How's everyone been?

Tell me about your day.

It's a good night for snuggles.

I'm so happy that my family got home from vacation today!

Can anyone spot Henry in this picture? He's hiding.

Hump day is over. Time to coast into the weekend like ...

I'm keeping Dad safe by sleeping right next to him. It's a warm, but nice spring day in Charlotte so we're hanging out on the porch.

Happy Friday friends. I hope you have a great weekend!

I'm having a bad hair day.

I swear I'm not always sleeping. Dad exhibits a clear editorial bias in what he chooses to post.

Dad said this is his spot ... it sure looks like it's mine. 😏🤣

No, I will not pose for a picture. Go to bed Dad.

We are going out of town and usually use Rover for the dogs. We had one girl come by and she backed out because Bear was too big (he also acted like an idiot). The next girl was about 5' tall ... said I've got a doberman. Bear loved her and she was great with him.

What are your weekend plans? I've got naps and playtime with Dad on my calendar.

I love all the visitors we get here.

Sometimes I don't post pictures because I think "that's just like the last one." But then I realize, of course it is. It's always me.

We had a new visitor drop in.

Dad's going to watch cricket tomorrow and I don't get to go? I like bugs.

I hope everyone had a great Easter. Today was also my hubro's 20th birthday!

Dad was tired after working on the house so I had to give him a two paw "are you ok?"

What are you guys up to this weekend? My hubro Sam's birthday is on Easter this year, so I'm resting up for the partying.

I was looking through some little bins that I store electronic parts in trying to find some headers or something and I found Yogi's last rabies tag in it. 2006. Yogi was the first dog I had on my own. I think I'll put the tag on my keychain.

I'm starting the weekend off right. Good night all.

Everyone should have a dog for a best friend. Henry is mine.

Can I get a good night boop?

Dad says I have a goofy smile. I wasn't ready!

Umm, I'm sleeping Dad. Enough with the camera. Good night friends.

The crew.

Dad says he loves dogs so much because it's in his blood. The first dog he knew was his dad's, Tara, an Irish setter. She died of old age in the early 80s. A year ago his dad had to change his alarm password, he changed it to Tara's birthday. He said he would never forget that all those years later.

This is my room for when I just need to get away. Dad calls it the "closet."

Dad put something together - I'm not sure what, but I supervised. We make a great team!

Good night friends. I hope you all have sweet dreams. I always do.

Bear jumped a 4 foot fence to visit the neighbors' dog. Thankfully they were able to get him back in quickly. I was terrified at work for about 5 minutes.

We got pork butt! 🤤🤤

It's a beautiful day to keep an eye on the back yard.

What is it about dogs that really connects you to them? The way they look so cute, the innocence, their unbounded capacity to love? For me it's the way they look at you. Their eyes. They have an intense but casual gaze that is fascinating.

#ThrowbackThursday I was just 6 weeks old here. My new family took me home a few weeks later. Dad says I still have the same stare.
