Merry Woof-mas!

I had my first Christmas this year, it was pretty darn cool if you ask me! I got to visit and play with my grandma's dog Bea. We played chase everyday in the snow. I love her! My other grandma's dog, Maggie, doesn't like me. She tries to bite me and steal my chew toys but I still try to chase her and play. I wonder why she doesn't like me?

I got lots of neat toys and treats. Mom says I'm spoiled- what does that even mean? My favorite toy is the Invincibles Snake. It makes this cool squeaking noise... I just love to do it over and over...and over. Speaking of that snake, where did it go, Mom?

I hope Santa was good to you, too.

Love, Gibbs

Casey's Memorial Paperweight

I contacted Lowell at Serpentine Glass in Oregon about making a memorial paperweight to remember Casey. The paperweights have Casey's ashes swirled inside. One is for myself and the other is for my parents. They are truly beautiful, magnificent---true artistry. I had tears streaming down my face when I took them out of the box and saw them for the first time. I know that my parent's reaction will be similar. These paperweights are a wonderful tribute to a dear and true friend, Casey.

Gibbs the Golden 3.5 to 6 Months

Catch Up

Since it's been such a long time since I've updated the blog, it's time for a giant catch up!



Gibbs is going to be 6 months old on Thursday, December 16th. We're having so much fun together. We still go out on our daily adventures to the park where he can explore off-leash and burn off some energy.

Once or twice a month, we still attend puppy class. We need the extra distractions when we practice our sit/down stays. At home, we do a lot of training. Gibbs has learned to heel on the pot, which will be helpful when we're polishing our heeling. He also is learning the bits and pieces through backchaining to roll himself in a blanket.

Our special puppy, I can't tell you how much we love him in such a short amount of time.
