The Countdown

It's that time of year again. My mom has 8 more school days til I get to spend every day with her. I expect we will hike, take walks and she will shower me with affection all day long. I can't wait!
Clearly my mom needs a break...excuse my feet :( Perhaps when summer gets here, she will keep me better groomed.

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all the Golden Moms a great Mother's Day!

Vacation Without Me

My humans took vacations without me. I stayed at home with Grandma Debi. Grandma Debi spoils me and I'm very lucky she comes to stay. If she didn't stay, I'd be left at the kennel all by myself.
Here are a couple photos of my humans on their vacations. They are good parents and I'm glad they got some time away.

Dad mountain biking in Utah
Mom hiking in New Mexico

Even though I gave them the cold shoulder after they returned from their trips, I'm glad to have them home. Because of the guilt they felt for leaving me, I scored some extra treats over the past week!

I'm Still Here!

It has been a busy few weeks with my humans. Mom just finished her River to River race. This is where her and a team of 7 other runners run from the Mississippi to the Ohio River (80 mi). Plus they are both getting ready to leave me. Dad is going to Utah to mountain bike and Mom is going to New Mexico for what she calls, "R&R". That means I will be here with Grandma Debi. I really love my Grandma Debi but still get a little nervous that my humans have left me for good.

I will try and keep in touch a little better after my humans come back from their trips.

It's My Mom's Fault

I borrowed that subject line from my other boyfriend, Farley. I am blaming Mom for my absence in blogland. It's been nearly 2 weeks! Not only that, I have received more birthday gifts but you wouldn't know it because Mom hasn't blogged. I may be advertising for new humans soon. Until then, check out my belated birthday gift from Farley:

It's a new stuffie. I always get so excited when I get a new stuffie.

"I love you pink monkey"

Thank you Farley for the new stuffie. I just love it!

More Birthday

When you are a Golden loved as much as me, your birthday can spread over a few weeks. I was so excited to receive a birthday gift from my human Aunt Tina. She knows how much I love babies so......

What else was in the box?

A chewy toy bone and a treat.

Thanks Aunt Tina! You know just what I like.

My Birthday

The day was just perfect! My humans celebrated my birthday by taking me hiking.

Sniffing the cool breeze...

Exploring the trails

Taking a dip


Then we came home and the real celebrating began.

First, with ice cream....

Then with gifts from my boyfriends, Augie and Ti. Thanks for the beautiful card and my new stuffies! I really love the yellow chick. It's my new favorite.

And my new outfit (leash & collar) from my humans.

Oh how thankful I am to have such nice friends and a wonderful family!

Note from Sophie's Mom: Sophie has received more birthday gifts. I will be blogging about those soon!
