More Summer Swim Fun

Zeke really goes crazy over his training bumper, he will fetch it all day long as long as water is involved.  After we got done playing at the pond we went to McAlister's to get Dad some dinner, besides it was free tea day.

Summer Swim

Zeke and Sadie have been pretty good this week so Dad took them for a swim in North Charleston.  The water was great and we all had a good time.

Video chats with the puppy

Mom is traveling for work, so she has to settle for Video Hangouts with Zeke.  Here is a cute screenshot from a recent chat.

Google Maps and Waterfront Wifi

Last week Zeke went to the official announcement of free wifi available at Charleston's Waterfront Park, sponsored by Google.  Some folks from the Google Map Maker team were there and Zeke got to check out the street view car along with the dude who does the images for Google Trekker! 

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms of pups and kitties out there.  Zeke got his mom a sweet card and a beautiful hanging basket of petunias.  The above picture is mom's first attempt at a group picture - can't help but laugh at Zeke's look of disdain as his brother and sister can't keep it together long enough to take a photo.  We ended up with a better group shot, but this one is still the winner. 

Zeke and Mini Me

 Zeke's mini-me, Banks, was over to play for a little bit yesterday. OH THE CUTENESS!!!

Swimming at the National Forest

As we have mentioned before, one of our favorite places to swim and fetch bumpers is in the Francis Marion National Forest.   This is a picture from a couple weeks ago of Dad and Zeke getting ready to launch. 

Zeke and Moose!

One of Zeke's favorite presents from his birthday was his toy moose that he received from his friend Sparky the Pug.  Zeke enjoyed cuddling with Moose and shaking his brains loose.  Unfortunately Moose met his end this week - being ripped apart in the name of tug.  RIP Moose. :)

Easter at Sky Dogs Dog Park

Zeke and Sadie took and Easter trip to Sky Dogs dog park in Ladson.  Zeke's favorite part is the agility course items!  (Hey Sky Dogs we are still holding out hope for that Dock Dogs pool!!)

Recent rains

Our spring weather has been really rainy.  On particularly heavy rain day our backyard turned into a makeshift pond.  Zeke made the best of it and played fetch with his bumper just like we had went to a swimming spot.

Foster puppy - Buoy!

 Our most recent Lowcountry Lab Rescue foster was this cute little girl pictured above.  We didn't even get a chance to post any pictures of her before she has found her new adoptive parents.  She was only in our house for two weeks before being moved to a foster-to-adopt situation.  She can be officially adopted once she has been spayed, but in the mean time she can begin to bond with her mom and dad.

 For size perspective, here is baby girl next to our full grown labs.

Her new family has named her Buoy and she is doing well.  Best wishes to Buoy and her mom and dad!  If you are interesting a puppy please check out Lowcountry Lab Rescue.

SEWE weekend

It's a freezing cold weekend, but SEWE is here! Zeke went downtown to Marion Square and threw his hat in the ring for the Garden and Gun Magazine photo contest.  We also toured through the Certified South Carolina grown tent and Zeke sampled some delicious meatballs! (if you were the lovely meatball person and want to email us the picture you took, we'd love to post it on the blog)

South Carolina State Park Rangers were offering to take pictures with SEWE attendees and post them on their facebook.  Of course, Zeke can't resist a photo-op

Cinco de Zeke-o

 Our dear Senor Zeke turns 5 years old this month!  Today, we had an awesome birthday fiesta dubbed 'Cinco de Zeke-o'.  Dad setup a delicious taco bar and homemade queso dip.  Mom baked peanut butter pup cakes and of course we had pup cream.  Great turn out for the fiesta.

 Jake the lab

For his birthday, Zeke requested donations to the Charleston Animal Society food bank - and his guests delivered!    We'll post a few more pictures in a few days.  Thanks to all of Zeke's friends who were able to make it out to the party. 

At the Google Datacenter press conference

Zeke missed his chance to meet and take his picture with another governor today.  Gov. Nikki Haley was on hand at the Berkeley County Datacenter to announce the building of an additional data center at the site.  We only got a chance to snap this picture of Zeke with Andy the Android.

Zeke looked the part, wearing his Google tie-dyed shirt, but sadly had to leave the press conference early due to his excited but very loud barking.
