No rats please...

Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach, Ca 


We enjoyed our evening walk on the Peninsula until we spotted a rat in the rocks. Henry was intrigued but we kept moving, rat-less. That's a good thing! Henry brought a baby bird inside our home once, I couldn't imagine him wanting to bring a rat home....Yucky, yucky, yuck! 






On Vacation with Doggy Uncle, Nate

"Hey, he has my special ball!" - Henry

"This ball tastes like peanut butter, I think I'll keep it." Nate








"Umm, Nate, can I have my ball back please? My dad got this for me and it really means a lot to me." - Henry, as he nudges Nate on the side

"I don't think so kid. I'm gonna keep it as long as I want. Consider it your  token of good will for staying at my Beach House." - Nate (growling and getting up to get away from Henry)


















"What was I thinking!" -Henry



I had my nieces over the other day and all the kids were playing outside. Every where they went, Henry followed. So finally, Catherine, James and Lucy decided to lay a beach towel on the picnic table and lay on it so they could read a book together hoping not to be bothered. But, Henry decided he wanted to be up there too! It took him two seconds to prance onto the table, but about five minutes to get down. It sort of wobbles and that made Henry even more nervous than the few feet of height. The kids all ran inside and we had to leave Henry out that afternoon.

Who was on my bed?


Last night, Victoria and James decided to watch "The Lorax" outside. The usual swing wasn't that comfortable apparently, so they opted for Henry's doggy bed. Henry kept trying to weasel in but clearly there was no room left for him. He stood by their feet and barked at me, as if to say, "Hey, what's going on here? This is my night night space!" 


What's a dog to do when your bed has been stolen by two little monkeys!?!

Henry and the Pink Towel





After swimming, the kids put their towels on the picnic table to dry. Henry loves to pull all the towels off every time and wrestle with them. Today he chose Catherine's pink princess towel to lounge with. It's true! Some dogs do like pink!!

Crazy and Comfortable!






Henry loves to gallup through the house and play first thing in the morning. He often bucks like a bronco seemingly going crazy. Well this morning he ran straight into my bedroom and galloped  onto my bed where the kids were cozy watching some morning television. As you can see from the picture, they quickly gathered around and I had to capture this fun but funny morning event! (Took place the morning of July 24 - my post is late!)

Peak-A-Boo!


Henry loves to peek his head into my bedroom window to see what's going on. Then he'll proceed to bark until he is acknowledged. He's such a playful puppy still, always wanting love and attention.
