Thunder's First Birthday

Last year on this date, this was me. 

I was the fourth born of nine and I was the smallest 8.4 ounces.

The first time my Mommy and Daddy met me.

My ride home, in my Bears shirt my dad bought me and wrapped in my quilt Mommy made me.

My first toy, Donkey Boy.

Today, it's another first.  It's my first birthday.

My only question is where's the cake.

Don't I look debonair in a hat?

Thunder Can Carry

I can carry a newspaper.

 

It's not too big for me.

I can carry a bone.

But it's not mine and Mom is making me take it back.  

I'm not happy but the owners are.

The bone has been returned so I'm carrying a stick but it's not as tasty.

It's okay, Justice and Lucas had two bones and their Mom gave me one, I could bring home.

She is so nice!

I am so happy!

Thunder Wants Out

I am trying to convince Mommy to take me out.  This is the way I look when I hear no.

This is how I look when she says after I finish this.

This is how I look when she says let's go out.

This is how I look when I am outside.

With my friends.

Thunder and The Boys

We are having a lot of fun this summer, playing puppy in the middle with Lucas.

It's best to keep him in the middle because those baby teeth are sharp.

We play ball.

Lucas is the only one small enough to get the ball from under the car.  He crawled like a soldier.

Wait, am I seeing double?  No,it is Baxter, Lucas's brother.  I wish I could see my brother, Hunter, I would be so happy.

Boy, they make me tired.

Thunder's First Barbie Convention

I was home all week while everyone was at the Barbie Convention.  I wanted to go but I'm not a service dog so I had to stay home.  I did what I normally do.  Sleep, play and give kisses.

Sleep!

Sleep!

Play!

Play!

Kisses!

Kisses!

And sleep some more!

I had a great time with my sitters, they were nice and fun.

Thank you for caring for me!

Thunder Can Jump

I have not been able to get into the car or the truck without help, it was getting embarrassing.   A big guy like me having to have his heinie lifted into a vehicle.  It was humiliating to say the least.  Today was special, I jumped right into the truck, it was great!  Everyone cheered and said something about not having to go to the doggy Chiropractor now.  It was a big deal, I think I was just getting to big to lift.

By the way, do you think this picture makes my butt look big?

Still spending my time playing with my friends.  Remember Lucas, he's a rascal, he's 

trying to pull me, just like his Dad does.  He is definitely, Son of Justice!

Oh wait that's me, trying to pull his Dad by the collar.  I'm glad Lucas can only reach my leash.

That was prior to grooming but look at me now!

All groomed and happy.

My Mom says I'm beautiful but I like ruggedly debonair better, just like Castle.

What do you think?

Thunder and The 4th of July

The 4th of July lasted for many days.  I hear, it is not some dogs favorite holiday.  I feel sorry for the dogs who don't like it, especially those who get scared.  I wasn't scared.  It is just a noise.  I barked alot over the last few days but I like to bark.  When I hear noises I bark so I barked and barked and barked and no one even yelled at me.  I would run to the door and bark, I like the 4th of July.  After awhile, I stopped going to the door, I was tired.  I would just bark but then barking got boring and I was just sleepy. So I tried to sleep.

Success!

Hope you had a Happy 4th of July.
