What a pretentious look on her muzzle! How could you NOT love that "Amy Winehouse" eye makeup!! Bio: Java (and her littermate brother Monkey) was most like a puppy mill dog though I didn't know that at the time. But given it's a deliberate mix of breeds, I don't know. It doesn't really matter, she's healthy, happy, and amazingly intuitive. Forums Motto: When in doubt, sit and be cute.

Last week Sammie's mom took us to Hinckley Lake. It was SO MUCH FUN!!! I splashed around in a stream, I even tried to jump the stream in one leap but mom was holding on to the leash -we almost fell in BOL!!! It was 3.32mi of hills and new sniffs and LOTSA fun! I even got to walk on the sand! I never walked on sand before!! It was really weird on my cushies!!
Mom said we're going today but she will come home early to make sure my paws are coated with Mushers. They get really sore with the salt and we don't know if the park salts the paths. Plus my cushies get sore when they get packed with snow and I REFUSE to wear my cross trainers on hikes.
I'm getting an ID card like mom's! I went to the vet a few weeks ago and got chipped and registered and I get my own license!
Mom and I have been doing a lot of stuff around the apartment. I help her with her workouts now. I supervise, but I also will get on the mat with her and remind her to keep her shoulders on the ground, I help with various yoga poses by squeezing myself onto the mat, I stand on her stomach to work her abs more... I'm a good coach!
We walked the lake yesterday and it's not as fun without Sammie but mom and I both needed a long walk, we haven't been since mom was sick. Then we came home and I got my special breakfast scramble of crispy bacon and scrambled eggs and I got some braunschuager, too. I can't spell it but I like it.
Then mom and I took a nap, I helped with laundry and we watched TV. Mom said today I am to help with her workout and then we're going to vacuum and clean the apartment. I have to go pick up all my toys.
The holidays were very busy. All this snow has kept us very busy and playing. Mom has some PAWsome pix to post of me and Sammie at the park playing in the chest-deep snow. She said she took video too that she will help me put on my blog.
I might get to see Monkey soon. Mom said she wants to get us chipped. I don't know what that means but she said it's to keep me safe.
Mom's been really sick so Miss Kim has been walking us and it's been a lot of fun! We try to play and Miss Kim tries to be stern but she's too busy laughing and we keep trying to get her all tied up in the leashes so we can knock her over into the snow like we did mom at the park that one day but there was no snow just mud. THAT was funny BOL!!! Mom fell in slow motion.
Mom started using Mushers on my cushies and the salt doesn't burn as much. It really hurts sometimes! They use a lot of salt here.
