who invited you?

guest bloggers: tinker & tessie

tinker: hi everyone. tessie & I FINALLY have to chance to speak to you all about the neglect we have had to endure since mom and dad decided to bring home this thing they call "baby miles". [look! mom totally ignored tessie during this game of peek-a-boo!]

you see, back in the day we were the babies and life was good! we wore cool clothes, got groomed by mom, and played a lot of games. we even tried out an agility class.

tessie: yeah, agility was super fun! I was scared at first (mom & dad say I'm scared of my own shadow), but after a couple of tries I flew through the tunnel and wove the poles better than any dog in the class!!

tinker: don't get off subject tessie! at first the baby just laid around and cried every now and then. he didn't bug us, but he stole all the attention. I was suspicious of the countless hours he spent staring at us...now he has the nerve to move around just like a puppy! he goes after our food, steals our toys, and knocks over the scary gate! I had to figure out how to play catch with myself...sniff...sniff...

tessie: we don't get to have any fun :( we haven't worn our cool outfits in months, mom drops us off at that terrible petsmart place for a haircut, and this is probably the last time we went on a walk (notice who HAD to come with!)...

oh and baby miles is scary! I try to tell him to leave me alone, but he wants to touch my collar. I usually just give him lots of kisses to get him to go away. I like to kiss him. maybe he's not so bad?!

tinker: yeah, I do like to clean off the crumbs when he's done eating...and sometimes he drops food down to us. the other day he threw the ball to me.

that's my FAVORITE! I suppose we'll let him hang around a little while longer. mom and dad seem to love him almost as much as they love me...er...I mean us.

tessie: and we like to lay in his room, right tinker?

tinker: yep! we just wanted you all to remember that we were the babies first and we are hoping that the spring will bring lots more walks...I suppose baby miles can come with too...as long as he lets me do the marking!

xo xo xo (part II)

mommy said I could finish telling you all about my first valentine's day! here goes...

I delivered cupcakes and valentines to my great-grandma & great-grandpa greseth, great-grandma becker, and papa and grandma. I was so excited to see all of them! nykkole, olivia, and helen were all there too, so that made it even better!

when we got home I wasn't ready for bed, so I was lucky enough to join mommy and daddy for their valentine's day dinner. daddy kept going outside in the cold to "grill" - whatever that is!? it must be something to eat, because mommy kept saying "yummy!" I can't wait until I have enough of these chompers to eat "grill" too!!! I made a valentine for daddy and mommy...I put them on their plates...see??

here I am goofing around with mommy and giving her kisses. she's always telling me that she loves me...I love her too!!!

daddy is so funny! he likes to stick his finger in my mouth and say "yowzers!!" - it gets me everytime. I really like that daddy lets me sit and play with his zipper or his ring. he's so patient and I love him very much!!

after "our" dinner...I was ready for bed and tinker was ready to do the dishes!!

hugs,
miles

yummy toes

guest blogger: miles kroening

hi everyone! I think you all should know that I found the most delicious and fun toy the other day. and guess what? everyone has them...TOES! my toes are so yummy. I like to grab a hold of both of my feet and then chew on my toes. such fun and so convenient :) my mommy said she is going to post a video of my giggling at her and daddy. mommy makes funny noises and daddy rubs my back, legs, and arms. they sure do know how to make a baby smile. I'm getting real good at laughing and putting things in my mouth. I also found out that my thumb is pretty fun to chew on but for some reason mommy keeps giving me my pacifier instead. I heard her say that she doesn't want me to be a "thumb-sucker". I'm just trying it out, but I still love my pacifier!! I'm growing up fast and learning new things everyday. keep visiting the blog so that you can catch up on all of my new tricks!
