Happy 2nd Birthday Cody!!

Yesterday was Cody's 2nd birthday! So i decided to bake him (and Daisy) a special, beef and bacon birthday cupcake with peanut butter frosting hahaha What do you think? (Had to garnish it with their yummy lamb and rice kibble too!)


Here are the pups waiting patiently during the birthday song to eat their birthday treats!

Yes, we already know that we're crazy, but we do it just to amuse ourselves hahaha If you wanna hear us sing Happy Birthday to our dog, please feel free to press play on the video below hahaha I think Daisy wanted to eat cake WAY more than the birthday boy!

Cody and Daisy's After Bath Sun Bathing

After their baths, the kiddies decided to dry off in the sun... together...

What's up in that tree?

Hey Cody! How's my breath?

Cody: Hmm.. Let me take a whiff...

Tag! You're it!

Cody and Daisy love chasing each other and... grabbing each other by the neck hahaha Take a look at the sequence of playing tag.
1. Stalk your prey.


2. Attack prey while prey is in mid-air!

Come on Cody! Play with me!!

When the police or ambulance sirens whirl by...

Cody loves to sing with the sirens, and Daisy likes to copy whatever Cody does hahaha

Daisy's perspective...

Of Cody... Always looking up to him since her little legs aren't quite as long as his.

Synchronized Sleeping Part 3

Mine!

Looks like Cody wants to keep all of the new toys to himself!

The biggest water bowl ever!

Just what they needed today during the 90 degree fall weather!

An Afternoon Nap.

It started out as a lazy Saturday morning...

Both the Bear (with his toy and rawhide) and Daisy decided to get comfy in our bed first thing this morning...

Until Cody decided he wanted to chew his rawhide in front of the little one. He should know better by now that she LOVES rawhides and still needs to learn how to share! Here she is staring Cody down with the intent of stealing his rawhide...

She moves in for the kill!

Cody isn't very intimidating when guarding his food from Daisy. Here is his attempt at telling her who's boss... Very shortly, she stole it from him and ate it all by herself hahaha

Yay! Park! Yay!

When the kids need to get their energy out quickly (and boy do they have tons of it!), they love going to the park and run a couple laps til they can't stand up any more. Here's Cody telling the park, "Hi!"

Freedom!!!! Well, until nature calls...


A great time was had if you see tongue's hanging out to the fullest!

Mirror, Mirror on the... floor...

Daisy checking herself out in the mirror...

"Wow! There's 2 of me!!! Where's Cody, I need to tell him about this!"

"Hey Cody, if we stay REAL still, it'll be like we're in a portrait!"

Deer... or Daisy caught in headlights...

(Almost) Synchronized Sun Bathing

Celebrating the last day of Summer 2008

Cody and Daisy celebrated the last day of summer at the beach yesterday!

Lots of swimming, running, making new friends, and... fishing for seaweed? Cody was very proud haha

The kids ran around like they've never been outside before! I love seeing the excitement in their eyes!

Nee-ner Nee-ner Nee-ner!

It really wasn't THAT funny, Cody...

but i'm happy to see you enjoy mom's humor. :)

All about Daisy!

Here are some of my favorite snapshots of the little girl from our "photoshoot" the other day. :)

You ain't nuttin but a hound dog!

Here's Cody entertaining Daisy with his Elvis impersonation. Looks like the little one likes it!

Mean Face!

Here's Daisy's mean face:

Cody's mean face kinda looks the same as Daisy's mean face!

Poor Patrick!

We left the house for about an hour to go play tennis last night and when we got back, there was a murder scene upstairs!!! Patrick, the cutest blue, curly sheep, had been murdered!

Cody was trying to sniff for evidence on who did the crime... Hmmm... Where's Daisy?

Let's take a look at the good times we had with Patrick:

Here's Patrick being a good sport by getting beat up by Daisy:


Patrick being a fun sun-bathing companion with Cody:

Taking a mid-day nap with the Bear and Daisy outside:

Being a referee for Cody and Daisy's wrestling match:

Daisy's body guard making sure no one steals her rawhide from her:

Rest in peace Patrick!!!! You will be missed! :)

Patrick: March 2008 - September 2008.

Cody's facial expressions

Cody's "not so sure" face:

Cody's happy face:

Cody's long lost twin!

Yesterday we went to the 3rd annual Dog Surf Contest at Del Mar, and there we found Cody's long lost twin! haha and no, that is not Cody below:

i was trying to be sneaky and take a picture of them side by side, but when they met, they immediately wanted to play with each other and the picture would have been impossible to take!

The Cody and Daisy Olympics

Cody and Daisy were inspired by the recent Olympics that they decided to hold their own competition in the backyard. Here they are in the 100m dash!

Two's a crowd!

Labor Day Beach Day!

What better way to celebrate Labor Day than going to the beach? The kids couldn't think of a better way. Here's Cody making a b-line straight to the water:

Daisy was a little hesitant. She didn't want to get her pretty hair wet. She later caved in.

Cody: do-do-do, where should i run to?

These kids can't wait for Labor Day to be over because the day AFTER Labor Day is the first day they can run around the beach offleash until summer again. Woo- hoo!!
