And our new addition to the family came quite unexpectedly Thursday as we were notified our friend was giving away his yellow lab pup. Months ago I had decided my next dog would be a female yellow lab (or mix), house-broken and crate-trained, because our schedule doesn't allow for every-two-hours puppy potty breaks. And this little girl fit the bill. She is eight months old, born Christmas day. So far so good. She is smart, sweet and happy. Bosley and Abbey seem to be accepting her very well. ...Someday I'd love to get a picture of the three of them. She knows some commands and we are working on getting control during a walk. Just need to get her comfortable in the vehicle. She becomes a bit of a drool-box when she goes for a ride...

Another trip to Maine and a new addition

Bosley successfully navigated another trip to Maine. No jet ski ride but he does enjoy having his nose in the wind on the boat. He's actually become quite confident on the boat and dock. He got to play with a friendly Boxer named Brewsky and got thumped twice by a huge puppy Great Dane named Annie. He is an awesome traveler, much like his sista was when she was younger.

Another trip to Maine.

He might be pushing 100 lbs. but he still thinks he's a lapdog...

He got on the jet ski, but didn't take it for a spin yet...

Oh what fun...

Strange things have been happening lately... Lots of talk about packing, water, checking the weather. Well Friday night I got loaded up in the backseat of dad's truck and there is my fuzzy bed and my favorite kong??? What's going on? Abbey got to go in Grandma's truck and away we all went.


We traveled for a few hours, which my parents tell me I did wonderful. I got to get out and pee and all that stuff... surprise, surprise since daddy isn't happy with mom when she has to go... And I got water and food breaks, but pretty much I slept. After a loonnggg nap we pulled into the driveway of a great little house. I think they were a little more excited than I was. I don't appreciate being woke up... BUT... There were so many new smells and textures under my pads. They walked me down to the lake to sniff and explore. The moon was out shining on the lake and unfortunately so were the bugs, mom and dad needed to get some sleep anyways so we retired for what was left of the night.

Saturday we woke up and did some chores... but I was getting restless. Mom took me down to play ball. Wow, off I went like a butt-tuckin, teeth-showin, ears-flappin wild man after the ball and with it a mouth full of gritty, native Maine sand. Didn't slow me down though. Next I decided to discover the lake, even though mom was a little apprehensive. A bit chilly, but I took take of that by scootchin around on my back in the warm sand.


I'm not sure why they were so clueless if I would like it or not... I am a lab. Next I discovered this amazing creature the humans were calling butterflies. I was enthralled by the big black and yellow fluttering bugs dancing around all over the beach, they entertained my curiosity for hours, ... and my hunger (mom said I shouldn't have).

Then they put this big metal thing in the water called a dock, or warf. I could get on top of the water a look down to see fish. I could stand on it to get a big drink of water. I had more area to chase butterflies!!!

That was a big day for me. I need my nap time.

During our vacation I also got to meet some other critters that mom and dad were calling dinner.

I even got to sniff their shells.



We did also take a journey into town to get dad a new toy. I was curious. The neighbor dog, Jake, rides with his daddy. I think maybe next time in July, I will try it out. I have to get one of those snazzy float jackets first.



Oh how relaxing Maine is. No wonder mom and dad were so happy all weekend!

I enjoyed my first vacation with my furever parents. Mom and dad said they could not have asked me to be any better. I was pooped and slept the whole way home yesterday, but I did hear them say we area going back up in July. Yeah.

And Abbey was "a peach" for grandma and grandpa. She even alerted them to a cat and ground hog invasion!. Good work sista!

friends

My friends from Two Goldens and a Wannabe are having a contest to celebrate Daisy's birthday.

We are to introduce her to a new friend.

Rules are as follows....................

This is how it works. We all have lots of blog friends, and often make new friends by looking at each other's blogs. But sometimes there are so many, it's hard to pick. So to enter our contest, we want you to put a post on your blog about one of your friends or group of friends, and why they are special. We are encourging you to pick someone who is not as well know, so we can meet some new friends, but you don't have to. If you want to let us know about some special friends, that is alright too. When you make your post, please link back to our blog so anyone that wants to get in on the contest can find us. Also, please leave us a comment about your post, or drop us a pee-mail at tuckerdaisy@gmail.com. Mommy is not really technical with the computer, so she can't make a cute button, but feel free to copy the contest photo. Entries will close at noon Eastern time on May 10th, my birthday. We don't want to say that anyone's friend is nicer than someone else's friend, so soon after the 10th we will have a drawing from all the contestants to pick the winner. Mommy will then send a prize to the contest winner and their friend(s). We will also do a post to show all the entries and the friends they suggested.

Their pictures are enough to make any dog lover smile and Mom really needs that lately.

It's been long April

We've been away from our blog for a while. The weather has gotten better and the dust has gotten thicker on the laptop lately...

Boz helped plant in the vegetable garden. Dirt up the nose and all. Abbey had been serving as the local pest deterrent. She LOOKS scary huh...
The weather had been pretty warm and the humans are curious if Boz has an interest in water. They are trying to prepare him for the place called "Maine" that they go to a few times each year. There must be a lake and sand... (not my thing) but I'm sure Bosley might enjoy it. So they got him this...
But for right now he just thinks it a giant water bowl. Occasionally walking through it too. (Ya think I'm gonna drink after that...)

He has also found he enjoys lounging on the patio (not in the grass...)



We had a scrub-down too last weekend. And Mom decided to prepare me for warmer weather. I'm sure most humans could say they never got a two hour hair cut, but I did. Mom has the blisters from the scissors to prove it. I overheard that tonight we will be taking a trip to get our nails clipped... Oh joy. Boz's obedience trainer will be performing the task because Mom is too much of a fraidy-cat and won't cut them short enough for Dad's liking. At least we get to go for a ride, right.

Have a good weekend.
Abbey & Bosley
