Happy Birthday Zeke - 3 years old!

Yep, Zeke turned the big three today! He had a great birthday party and a bunch of his friends (two legged and four legged) came over to help celebrate. We had doggie cupcakes and pupcream ice cream treats and Dad cooked up some mean hotdogs for the people.
Today was also Remington's last day with us, but we were so happy to have him stay for the party.
Next door neighbor buddy, Miller, had a fun time playing with the big dogs.
Zeke's girlfriends - Darlynn and Laidee, wouldn't be a lab party without them.
The Fox family.
Uncle Vic and Cindy came and brought Max. The dustmop/Yorkiepoo. At first he was a little intimidated by the dog madness, but then he got accustomed to the place and he was a lightening quick runner.
Sadie was pooped by the end of the party. That's how you know it was a success, everyone needed a nap afterwards.

Icebreaker.

Zeke says DOUBLE BONUS when both mom and dad had a three day weekend together!

We went for a swim Sunday morning, but didn't properly account for the cold weather. We thought there was a little ice in the pond, but when the bumper hit the water it just thumped and then skidded across the ice. Not a good sign. Zeke was a trooper though -- dad drove him to the other side of the pond and he dove in and went into ice breaking mode.

Today we went for a mini-hike at Marrington and then some potential adopters came over and checked out foster bro Remington.

hangin' with the foster bro

Zeke is being such a great big brother to foster puppy Remmy. They are having a great time tugging and chasing the ball.
Tonight Remington got a bath, and then got all cuddly in the towel.

If you want to give this little guy a home check out Lowcountry Lab Rescue

and Happy New Year!

Zeke rung in 2011 in style (on the couch watching Ryan Seacrest), but he understands moderation and doesn't party too hard.
And also introducing Remington, our new foster pup. Remington is with Lowcountry Lab Rescue and we are fostering him until he finds his forever family. He is about 8 weeks old and full of puppy energy.
