Payton got mail!

Payton got a package in the mail from Fetching Tags with his brand new tag inside!!

But first…

Big boy collar??? NO!!


i hates it.


mommy why do I jingle.


please to be taking this off me?


Then we played with his football and he forgot all about it.

Why Kid Flash? Well, Auggie’s registered name is The Flash… and The Flash’s sidekick is Kid Flash… and Payton is Auggie’s sidekick… so it made sense.
Also Kid Flash got the nickname “Impulse” – not by way of a compliment, actually, but by way of warning that he tended to act first and think later. And this is very suitable for Payton, haha! So Kid Flash he is.

This is how my puppy sings

He doesn’t do this much. He did it once the first day he was home and maybe once or twice other than that. I wanted to record it because I think it’s kind of funny how he kind of warbles, LOL, and he wasn’t doing it anymore so I was bummed and thought I missed it.
Well, he did it today when I came home from work and went to go to the bathroom first instead of letting them out. So I set up the camera and then went to go change into my running clothes, and this was the result.

(and yes, I realize it’s pretty much time to change out his crate for the bigger one. Unfortunately that means he won’t be able to sleep in my room anymore because there’s no room for a bigger crate in my room. He doesn’t wake me up in the middle of the night but I kind of like having him in there with me and Auggie… I don’t trust him not to pee in my room in the middle of the night loose though… =<)

I keep watching it and I think it's hysterical. Does that make me a bad dog owner?

Playing boys

First of all, this is what I get when I say “Pepper?” to Auggie these days.

Apparently absence makes the heart grow fonder?


His head shape is changing. His needlenose is getting longer, LOL. Soon the top of his head should start to expand some.


I was moving to take photos and he was looking at me suspiciously, like I may try to grab that sheep at ANY SECOND…


Auggie chews toys, too. But often when he was a toy, Payton wants it, so he doesn’t get much peace to chew.


But Payton is teething hardcore right now so Ropey Sheep is a great chew for him.


We just started wrestling a few days ago. It often looks like this after Auggie shoulders Payton or butt-bumps him into going belly up.
