Miller's back!

Zeke's best friend and next door neighbor has been gone on vacation for a whole week!  But Miller is back now and lab play time can resume. They started licking each other through the fench when they first saw one another again.   Then some serious romping and games of tug happened, Mom caught a quick photo while they were resting. 

Playing with my friends

Dad saw my friends next door and invited them over to play.

Morning Swim

Mom is out of town for a while, so Dad took us for a swim, there was a raft of geese there, but I did not mind, got to play with my bumper and Sadie went for a good swim and did some running around.

Pics from Pet Fest

 Zeke and his friend Sparky went to 2012 CCPRC Pet Fest together this year.  Here they are posing in front of the PetSmart tent.  I think Sparky makes Zeke look huge from this perspective.

Zeke donated $5 to Humane Net for a chance to try out the dock dogs pool.  Zeke opted to take the ramp instead of a jump, but had a good swim anyway.  He also got some cool free stuff from other vendors, I think our favorite was the portable waterbowl from Veterinary Specialists.

Easter Weekend Downtown

St. Paddy's Block Party

Today Zeke and company went down to the block party in old town North Charleston, to enjoy St. Patrick's Day.  There was a great crowd, several bands playing and lots of places to get tasty treats and beverages.

 Zeke and Mom dance a jig.

 It's a great day for green. 

Watching the Parade come down East Montague.

Yarrr! Fire the Trebuchet.

Zeke attended his first Storm the Citadel yesterday.

Zeke gets to meet Micah

Today Zeke went to Edisto Beach where he got the prerequisite swim at the beach, but he was also able to finally meet Micah, the son of some good friends of Z's mom.  Micah has a doggy too, named Sasha, but she didn't get to come on this trip. 

Happy 4th Birthday Zeke!

Wow! Our baby boy Zeke turned four years old yesterday.  We had a super fun party, with 16 dogs coming over to play and join in the festivities. Below is the slideshow from the fun times.  Happy Birthday Zeke!

Zeke & Mom, Sunday Hike

Great day for a hike in the National Forrest.

Still enjoying the Christmas presents.

Look at my squeaky gator, look at it!

Happy New Year! 2012

 We went to our neighbors' fantastic oyster roast for New Year's Eve.  Fireworks, oysters and snacks - it was a great time!

 Miller didn't enjoy the fireworks so much, so he climbed into his momma's lap.

 Zeke , Sadie, and David.

Zeke giving some love to Kent.

Merry Christmas!

Wag N Splash

Last week, we finally used the awesome voucher we got from Lowcountry Dog Magazine for a free swim at Charleston's indoor doggie swimming pool - Wag N Splash. 

 This is Lori, we set an appointment up with her and she works with the dogs who are nervous about swimming in a pool - perhaps like Sadie, they had never seem one before.

 Once Zeke got over his hesitancy of the floating doggie ramp to get in and out of the pool, he started having a blast!  We couldn't make him stop swimming.

 This whole experience was great, and Lori was great working with Zeke and Sadie.  We will definitely do this again. 

The Cisco Lab

This one is for all fellow networking geeks who also love their dogs.  Zeke is rocking a Cisco Systems shirt and being a chocolate labrador, that makes him...wait for it... 

A CISCO LAB!

In honor of mom passing her CCNA exam today.
