Taking your human to Home Depot

Have you been to this place? It's amazing!!! Mom calls it the Home Depot but for me it's a wonderful adventure full of new smells, sounds and lots of nice people. This has been a great place to really test my training (and give me a chance to show off). The employees are very nice, giving me lots of love and attention. Of course everyone points out my silly ear! 

Sometimes people are surprised to hear that you can take your dog to Home Depot but it's true! They welcome me with open arms paws!

Hmm what's that noise?

No really mom, what's that noise?

We have so much fun exploring the store but I do have to be watched in the garden section. Apparently you're not supposed to pee on those plants? I'm still not sure exactly how they're different than the ones outside but judging by mom's reaction they are very different. 

So have you taken your human to Home Depot? How did it go?

Have you heard the news?

I'm going to be a big brother!!! To a human!!!

 

That's right ... Mom is getting a little fatter every day and she says that is a good thing this time. I'm just hoping this new one likes to chase tennis balls as much as I do so we can be the best of friends!

This is what happens...

...when Mom waits too long to buy dog food.

Yeah, looks gross right? Well it was actually really delicious! Mom got smart and dug through our box of doggie related things she's gotten free at local dog expos and such and came up with these:

It definitely tasted different than my usual Blue Buffalo but it wasn't so bad to have something new. The best part was this "Keen" stuff (on the left above). It's made by Honest Kitchen and it's a packet of dehydrated dog food. 

A little weird at first but it tasted great. Mom mixed this powder with warm water and MMMM did it smell good!! I could see how it would be easy to bring on a road trip, to go camping, etc. because it doesn't take up any room. Mom says it's a smart buy too because it's made completely from human-grade products with minimal processing selected from fair-trade, sustainable and "green" suppliers in CA. It's even made here in San Diego!

It's a little bit more expensive than the food I eat now but it was still a nice little treat. What have you tried lately that was a pleasant surprise?

Friday Fun

I used to be a really cute, uncoordinated puppy too..

Now I'm so much more mature than all of this.

...No, not really! Happy Friday!

I'm a Big Bad Wolf

Do you ever write a post, think you click "Publish" and then wonder why no one has commented on your fabulous new blog about how adorable you looked on Halloween? Yep, us too.

Yesterday was a great day because I went to work with Mom...as part of her costume of course!

Every Little Red Riding Hood needs a Big Bad Wolf! Hope you had a great Halloween!

Kennel No. 5

It's not even Friday yet but I already have something funny to share with you. Have you seen the Brad Pitt ad for Chanel No. 5? Even if you haven't seen the ad, you may have seen the skit making fun of it on SNL this week. At any rate, we dogs had to get in on the fun too.

Friday Fun!

Thanks to our friend Lauren at Life with Desmond for pinning this hilarious pic on Pinterest. Happy weekend!

Go Chargers!

Sundays in our house are about watching football. Well, so are Thursday nights...and Monday nights...and the occasional Saturday...

No matter when we're watching though, we're always Charger fans. Always have been, always will be.

Friday Fun!

Hope these make you smile! Happy weekend!

Where have we been?

See here's the thing about writing a dog blog...I have to get Mom's help to write it! I've had all these GREAT ideas but somebody has been too busy to be of any use. She seems to think that things like being in the busiest time of the year at work, studying for the LSAT and getting into a car accident are valid excuses for completely abandoning my writing career. For shame!

Well, a lot has happened since my Mom decided she liked a lot of things better than me so I won't try and shove them all down your throat at once. One thing at a time my friends...

First, if you follow us on Instagram you probably remember this adorable picture of me in my big, giant bed. If you don't follow us on Instagram...well then you should. Look us up @littlerockfish or just check out my pics by searching for #jacksblog.

Ok back to my story. This bed is To. Die. For. It's so perfectly soft without being too squishy, it has these great bolsters on the sides that I can cuddle up against, and it was only $40 at Costco. Everyone wins! 

Considering I'm a 65-pound mutt and I still have thaaat much room to move around, you can tell it's a pretty big bed. Look, it's even big enough to share with your best friend!

What have you been up to since I've been gone? What is your new favorite thing?
