Happy New Year!

Zeke wants to wish everyone a joyful and safe 2009!

11 months old

Today Zeke turned 11 months. Over the weekend we weighed him at 86.0 lbs (must be too much holiday snacking) and we went for a hike at a new spot.

Merry Christmas to all!

Zeke knows he should have posted last night, but his first Christmas was a very busy and fun one.

Zeke is ready to open his presents!

A Turbo Disc AND a flying squirrel!

What's a chuckit??

Happy Hanukkah Everyone!

Zeke meets puppy Carolina

At a birthday party yesterday Zeke got to make a new friend.
This is Carolina; what a cutie and quite a fireball.

Zeke and Carolina had a GREAT time playing in the yard. Carolina was not at all concerned that she was about 1/8 the size of Zeke.

Time to stop for a drink.

company christmas dinner

Fox Music had our christmas luncheon today, with some DELICIOUS eats. Zeke was such a well behaved boy , for the most part he laid down by his mom's chair and got a few treats passed to him.

Zeke and Santa Matthews.

Thanks Santa Matt!!!!

That food looks scrumptious! (Like Z's improvised holiday collar?)

Uncle Vic sneaks Zeke some turkey.

a fun day, with no pictures to prove it

This morning Zeke went with his mom on a service call. The secretary at the church just let him walk right in like he owned the joint. Then later we stopped by a friend of Zeke's Uncle Vic who has two labs and an awesome pond. Zeke had a fantastic time playing with Brutus and Porsha. Brutus is a hardcore fetcher but the Z man was way into 6 month old Porsha. We were hoping he would pick up a few pointers from Brutus, but I don't think that worked. Anyway, it was a great time.

this one is NOT our christmas card

christmas concert

Zeke went to his friend Sarah's Christmas concert at town hall today. It was awesome holiday fun, and Zeke got to meet some new people and see some old friends.

The new restaurant by town hall, Ladles, had a Christmas tree outside with dog biscuits tied to it. They are taking donations for the local SPCA.

Father John comes to visit

We got a visit today from Zeke's breeder! He comes by to see Zeke when he is in town.
(sing to the tune of Father Abraham)
Father John, had many pups, many pups had Father John. Zeke was one of them and he is cute, so lets just praise the Lord. Right paw!

Happy Thursday

playing in the leaves

It was a cold fall day today, but that didn't stop Zeke from getting out and enjoying the weekend.

its a great day to lay around and watch football
