Testing, Testing...

I found the perfect Halloween costume for Mason today and had to come home and try it on him.  He doesn't know quite what to do with the halo!  HA HA HA

Here, Mousie, Mousie!

Mason LOVES his little mousie!  Sometimes he flings it across the room.  Here he is just having a ball...

Playing with bugs...

Hello all.  I have the door open on this beautiful Sunday and a little beetle wandered in.  Mason LOVES to play with beetles.  I spied him having a good time and decided to make a video...He needs his eyebows and face clipped!!!

PS...Peanut is enjoying herself quite nicely in Mason's blue bed, huh?!

Check-Up Day!

Today Mason had a regular check-up and got his DHPP shot.  We're headed to sunny Florida for some vacation sunshine in a few weeks and he needed to get in to get some traveling supplies and a shot...yes, a shot.  Mason's due for his regular shot routine so we made sure to get his DHPP shot today.  He'll go back to get his rabies shot  right before we leave as he couldn't have it at the same time.  Peanut got her yearly check-up too and everything looked good.  She's ready to bask in the sunshine and sip a little water poolside.

I think Mason has gained some weight since being "fixed" and has filled out a little.  He weighed in at 4 pounds 3 oz. and is very healthy.  Dr. Vernon thought he looked perfect too!

Mason's been having a lot of fun this summer.  I think his most favorite pastime is chasing japanese beetles, flies and skinks.  Although he's not quite fast enough to catch one of the skinks, he still tries sniffing them out and chasing them off the patio.  Yesterday, I even caught him chewing on something inside the house.  When I pulled it away from him, it appeared to be a 2 inch piece of the dehydrated remains of a dead snake..ummm yeah, he likes crittering.  I guess Mason really has grown into his schnauzer hunting drive.  Fun FUN FUN...As for the frogs outside, he's just fine sniffing them...as long as they don't move.

He's such an amazing cuddle puppy too...

Cutie Patootie...

Mason decided it was a bit too hot outside (with his scruffy hair) after our walk so he wanted to air out his armpits...ermmm ears.  I think he had his ears back for a good 20 minutes and wasn't a bit interested in flipping them back over.  I thought it was too cute not to take a few pictures.

Such a gorgeous little fellow, right?

One Proud American Puppy!

Doesn't he look proud!  Spending the Fourth just relaxing and enjoying our freedom.  We went for a nice 4 mile walk this morning (Mason pooped out half way and had to be put in his pouch, but he enjoyed the "ride" anyway) and had some time to just sit out on the patio and relax.  Ahhhh summer!
 Here are a few precious shots of Peanut relaxing too...She loves the sunshine!

Bye for now!

Pool Time!

Mason and Peanut's pool is out and ready for the summer fun!  I decided to give them a chance to get reacquainted with it.  Not sure how long it will take them to LIKE it.  HA HA

This is like a BIG bowl of WATER...eww...My feet are wet!  He doesn't quite like getting those tootsies wet.  

Peanut doesn't care for the pool at all.  She'd much rather hang out tanning on a nice cozy blanket in the sun.  

Maybe if I stand real still I won't feel the water down there.  Ha ha...

Looks like some German soldier, with those knickers (or whatever you call them) on.  I think he spotted a bug.
