I love college!

This past Sunday, Mom and Dad took me to see my fifth college campus. We drove an hour west of Richmond to Charlottesville, VA - the home of University of Virginia. What a beautiful campus. I especially loved the 200 year old architecture. I got to walk where Thomas Jefferson walked (as you know, he founded the university). After walking around campus, we went to a pedestrian mall in downtown Charlottesville. We had a nice sit down lunch and I got to say Hi to other dogs who brought their humans out for a day fun, too. Anyway, enjoy these pictures from our fun outing. You can see in some of the photos that Mom's belly is getting pretty big. My little brother or sister is in there but I don't claim to understand the mechanics of that. She says she can feel the baby move now which sounds kinda freaky to me.

I'm trying to strike my best Thomas Jefferson pose.


Hanging with good ol' George Washington.

We think that if you rub or lick the toe of this statue, you'll get good grades or something like that. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite reach. I really, really tried, though.

Mother's Day Weekend

MomMom and PopPop (now to be known as Grandmom and Grandpop) came to Richmond for Mother's Day weekend. I had a nice time going on long walks with everybody. One highlight was walking to Panera for breakfast on Mother's Day morning. The weather was perfect and we all enjoyed a nice, long breakfast while sitting outside. The other highlight was going to Thomas Jefferson's retirement home, Monticello. The weather was not good at all. You can see in the pictures that I am not too happy to be soaking wet. Regardless, I did enjoy the trip and I had fun leaving my "mark" all over Jefferson's garden.



Mom took Grandmom to the fancy Jefferson Hotel for afternoon tea. I'm sad I didn't get to go but Mom said I wouldn't have liked the chocolate covered strawberries.

Strong Dog

We spent the last week or so in PA for a big house hunting trip. I got to stay with MomMom and PopPop while Mom and Dad toured 50 homes. They were super tired after all the house hunting as you can tell in this picture. PopPop kept me busy in the garden the whole week so I was really tired too.


I got to put my pulling skills to the test, though. Look at how strong I am!!
