Brody's Barkings

Today is my Birthday! I'm 2!

I started my Birthday off by sleeping it...hey, after all, it is MY Birthday! Then mom gave me a yummy Birthday cake from the doggy bakery and 2 peanut butter buster treats too! We went for a long hike in the snow, boy was I pooped, but mom pulled out another Birthday present for me...a Zanie frisbee! We played with that for awhile outside it was such a nice day and the driveway is nice and muddy too! Well, it's time for a nap and then maybe some more Birthday goodies! Thanks for spending my Birthday with me!

Losing weight isn't much fun...but I get to play in the snow- a lot!

Ever since mom took me to the vet last summer, I've been on a diet. That's healthier food, less treats and my favorite MORE EXERCISE! Mom is feeding me 3 cups per day of this "light" dog food, it tastes ok, but I would like more of it. She has cut down my treats, I know, can you believe it?! But the best part is I get to play in the snow for hours everyday. Mom and I take short hikes that last 1-2 hours around the mountains where we live before she goes to work. I am so pooped after but I love running on the trails and smelling all the tracks from lots of different animals. If I run ahead, but come right back when mom says, "Brody Come", I get a treat....of course it is a "light treat". Mom has been trying really hard to get me to listen, because I love to be off leash when we are on the trails. I think she took some pictures of me on the trails last week and put them on my webpage at dogster, so check them out (and leave me a bone too please.) It's almost time to go outside again...I can't wait I love snow! Have a great day. Love always, Brody

What a weekend...I'm Pooped!

Everyday since Saturday, Mom and I have hiked on some of the best snowmobile trails around. I got to run off leash for almost 10 miles of trails over the last 4 days. I hate snowmobiles though, Mom gives me a treat everytime I run to her when I'm scared. I LOVE TREATS! I know mom is trying to get me in shape, but geez 10 miles is a lot for my 4 legs to handle.

I went shopping with mom yesterday after our first hike and then we had a nap. Afterwards, she took me for a second short hike before we made dinner. I went with Daddy down to the Pig barn and we fed the pigs. Boy, they sure are getting bigger!

I tried a new dog food yesterday, Science Diet Adult Large Breed Light, and I love it. I ate my whole bowl full today and even dropped some on the floor. I can't wait to eat more of it. Mom says it's good for me and that it will help me lose a "few pounds." We went to the vet's last week and he said that he should be able to feel my ribs when he moves his hands along my sides...but I'm happy like this!

Well, (yawn), it's nap time...I'm sprawled out on the bed almost drooling. Talk to you soon, (yawn), Brody.
