2 weeks without Mommy?!

Well, it's another trip back East for me, and this time I'll be gone for just over 2 weeks. The good news is, I'm going back to complete the last step of my graduate degree... the bad news is 2 whole weeks without Captain!

Today we had a nice long playdate with the neighborhood dogs (unfortunately no Ziggy as expected- he went on a day trip to enjoy the beautiful weather) and even got to see Taz, who Captain hadn't seen in a long time. For the next few weeks, it will be lots of QT with daddy...

Check back for more around Thanksgiving! Til then, happy Vizsla trails!

OMG- a non-Vizsla post!

Ok, I couldn't help myself, our friends made this video of their dog Trax and it is too cute. Enjoy! (PS- turn the volume up!)




We may just need to get Captain some booties!

Stay tuned- puppy play date with Ziggy tomorrow!!

Saturday play-up

Time for another puppy play-up!


I told you we'd be seeing more of Ziggy!

He's still pretty little but loves playing with Captain. Kind of makes you want another one, doesn't he? :-)

Sun bathing

Captain loves to find whatever spot of sun he can to lie in. (That is, when he's not busy running around)

How can I resist taking pictures of this??

Halloween #2

This Sunday our neighborhood had it's second doggie Halloween party, hosted by South Paw/ Pawtrero and benefiting Muttville. Everyone was out in their cutest costumes! I didn't really have one for Captain (he's not a 'dress up' kind of guy) so I just threw his backpack and a bandana on and called him "Little Red Hiking Dog."

It was a hot day and a good turn out:

And Ziggy was there too!
Captain always wants to check and see if the other dog's moms have better treats....As a sidenote, my husband has been working on Fido Factor, a local dog-friendly search and review site, with 2 other founders. Yesterday they attended a conference called FailCon and won the audience choice award (the conference was about learning from failure, but there were a number of start-ups with tables presenting). You may have caught them on the NBC Bay area news. We're hoping Fido will take off and then it will really be a dog's life :-)

The new kid in town

Hold onto your hats, there's a new Vizsla puppy in town! Meet the adorable, playful, 3 month old Ziggy:
We had a "puppy play-up" this morning with our fun neighborhood dog group, so it was off to a local park to play:

Lots of Ziggy pictures!Ziggy and our new neighbor Trax, a beautiful lab-boxer mix puppy:

Captain loves Ziggy! We're happy to have a little mini-Captain around.

Captain, Sc.D. ?

I have two weeks before my dissertation defense, and Captain is helping me prepare...

Well, sort of...
