Ursinus College

I can add another college campus to my list!!! On Saturday, we visited Mommy's alma mater, Ursinus College. What a beautiful November afternoon! Campus was hoppin'. We caught a home football game and a field hockey tournement. There was also wrestling and swimming in the field house. The four of us strolled campus and then we ended with some pictures in front of the iconic LOVE statue.

Many people stopped to say hello to us. Mom says she lost count of how many times people stopped to meet me and say what a cool dog I am. One college student even shouted across the campus lawn and said "Your dog is awesome!". Mommy says I'm such a stud. I don't know what that means but I sure don't mind the attention. One man at the football game came up to me and gave me a treat. I love Ursinus!

Halloween 2010

As you know, Halloween is not my favorite day of the year and this one was no exception. I really don't like the monsters and witches and other creatures that ring our bell and shout "Trick or Treat!". My job is to protect the house from these ghouls but Mom wouldn't let me chase them. Thanks goodness this only happens once a year!

Mommy and Daddy took me and Nate to a pumpkin display at a house nearby. That was pretty neat. There were well over 200 carved pumpkins on the lawn and some were impressive. Here we are in front of a Thomas the Tank Engine carving.

I dressed as a cardiothoracic surgeon. Millie was a pumpkin.

Nate went as an orthopedic surgeon while Mommy and Daddy were the injured patients.

First Haircut

Nate got his first haircut last week. Here's a before shot.

Summer Vacation 2010

We finally went on our summer vacation a few weeks ago. We had a real nice staycation at Grandmom and Grandpop's house back in July but this was our first real get-away as a family of four. We rented a cottage on a lake in the Poconos and we took our first big trip in the new car. Look at how jam packed it is. Here I am, waiting to get this show on the road!

It's a little hard to see but there is a deer in the shadows. But, that's nothing. I nearly came nose to nose with a deer earlier that day on our morning walk. It was a mamma with her young fawn. I got within about 10 feet of them but decided to leave them alone. Beside, it's no fun for me if they don't run. It's the chase that makes me happy.

Here's a view of the lake from our backyard.

Nate bundled up in his new hat.

Nate is cheering on Daddy. "Catch a fish!" Well, Mommy and Dad fished every day and caught nothing.

I went in the lake to try my paw at fishing but was also unsuccessful.

Dinty Moore for lunch!!!! Nate loves it too. Don't worry. I also got plenty.

Nate's new favorite mode of transportation.

A good shot of Nate right before he fell asleep during this hike.

And he's out!

Me and Mom at Tobyhanna State park.

Our last hike of the trip. Gouldboro State park.

Mommy and I signed the registry book on this hike. It was 10/10/10!

Big Brothers

I'm Nate's big brother but guess what! Nate gets to be a big brother too! We are so lucky. Number 2 will arrive in mid-April. Nate and I are looking forward to meeting our new sibling. Hopefully it's another boy but we would certainly cherish a baby girl.

Birthday Boys

This post is quite late so I have some catching up to do. Mom, Dad and Nate celebrated my birthday almost a month ago on September 15th. What did I get this year? Homemade beef stew!!! I love Dinty Moore but this was way better. Thanks!

Then, on October 3rd, we celebrated Nate's first birthday! We had a house full of people and it was a great time. You don't see any pictures of me because I was too busy patrolling the house and making sure everyone had plenty of food to eat. Here's Nate with Uncle Nick and cousin Jessica.

Nate's first taste of cake.

Bath time!
