More pics of Landon's Birthday!

Our little dude has had a nice little birthday. He had a surf's up virtual party on Instagram with all his friends. He received a special gift from his friend Moose next door. Plus he's got plenty of new fun toys. He even got a few toys that his momma considers "AZ" themed. We go heavy on toys for him because that's what he loves. Now it's on to a special ice cream treat!

Side Note: it appears taking pics meant for instagram do not show well on the blog. So here are some different pics. Pics taken straight from my camera. Which I think will show better than the post earlier today. Or at least I hope they show up better. However, I did add one pic to the previous post today just for the heck of it!

Happy Birthday Landon

 

To the sweetest happiest ray of sunshine I know, may you have a wonderful birthday! Mommy and daddy love you more than you will ever know. We are both obsessed with you.

It's not a good day in this household without snuggle-time with Landon. To us you are our "kid", you and your sister of course, our little fur-kids! You bring joy into our world everyday. You are sweet, sensitive, energetic, smart, and by far the happiest dog I've ever been around. You seem to wear a smile on your face 24/7, walking around spreading happiness. Thank you for being such a delight in our little family. Now go play with your new toys...let's face it you've already figured out there's new toys coming your way today. :)  Surf's up, my little dude!

Flashback Friday

Flashback Friday is little me! Hey, guess what? Somebody is having a birthday soon. Can you guess who? Gosh, did you guess me...yep it's me!

Mom decorated the house just a little bit for my party. It's a surf's up little dude theme. Mom calls me her little dude. Surfing is a perfect summer birthday theme, even though I've never been surfing. I'm sure I'll get to go surfing someday. I think I'm getting a couple new toys for my special day. I hope so...just toys, no treats needed!

In honor of my 2nd birthday, here's a baby pic of little me...

Big Hair

They say everything is bigger in Texas...this includes my hair.

Back To The Grind

Today is the last day of vacay. Or rather our staycay! We didn't do anything. We stayed home all last week. Went out briefly a couple times to pick up food and that was it. Oh and I went once to pick up our curbside grocery order. Otherwise, we did nothing. Well nothing out and about.

We played games, had fun with our furbabies, and watched movies/shows. We're currently obsessing over Jack Ryan series on Amazon Prime. We just decided to give it a chance and we've already on to season 2. So yeah, we've spent time watching shows for sure during this vacay.

It's going to be hard to get back to the routine come Monday! In other news, mercy, last night we nearly got blown off the map. So much wind damage in our area. Everything on our back table under our porch was blown across the yard except for...wait for it...the small bottle of bubbles. Can you believe it? Coasters, candles, and a lantern was blown all over the place but the lightest item on the table stayed put. What the heck? Obviously the bottle of bubbles was in a spot where the pillars or something was blocking the force of the wind. The winds reached 80 mph in our area. Too bad the winds didn't bring cooler temps with it. Nope, just hot and hot and hot.

Quick Snap Sunday

What's going thru Piper's mind here? Nothing but sweet and lovely thoughts as she gazes at her little brother chewing on a rawhide or menacing thoughts of biting him? After this pic was taken she didn't bite him but she did try to grab at him as he walked by at one point. He's difficult to catch. Espeically for Piper! 

They do love each other. It's just harder for her to admit or show love. She's a cat...what do you expect! Dogs are here to show love and be loved. It's their mission in life. Cats are here to grace us with their presence. Expecting to hear welcoming words and a red carpet to be laid out every time they walk into a room. No joke! 

Brad's Brithday and Vacay

Yesterday was Brad's birthday. For obvious reasons it was a rather lowkey celebration. We had a party on Sunday. I'm not sure a party of 4 is exactly a "party" but like I said, everything has been toned down and lowkey for awhile now. I think the rest of 2020 will be toned down and lowkey. However, I'm super curious how things will be when Fall comes around. When summer ends, kids need to get back to school, and America's most watched sport of FOOTBALL wants to begin again. How will things be then?

Anyway, I did the best I could to give Brad a good birthday. Like I said on Sunday evening, we had a small party of 4 people, well 4 humans and 2 furries. Ate some simple food and red velvet cupcakes for dessert. We mostly spent the evening playing games. Games the birthday boy chose. As for yesterday, Brad's parents dropped by ever so briefly to see Brad and give him a gift. We watched a movie last night for entertainment. All in all I think Brad had a decent birthday!

Brad's off this week, we are enjoying a "staycation". Once again, for obvious reasons we aren't going anywhere. I'm sorry but I wouldn't trust staying in a hotel right now. Besides what's open to go do? Not much! I've heard lots of people are doing beach, mountain, and lake trips. I'm thinking the most likely "vacations" this year are renting a beach house, cabin in the woods, or cabin by a lake. But I'm sure the prices for those are sky high. No thanks, we'll stay home and be just as happy. I think overall I prefer a staycation any day over a vacation somewhere. It's always fun to go places, don't get me wrong but it's a hassle too. Staycations are so much easier. The worst part in my opinion traveling anywhere for vacation is after you get home you feel like you need a few days to relax and enjoy being at home.  

Quick Snap Sunday

What you see right here is common! The common life I lead in the mornings. Mom puts my harness on me then delays my walk to take a pic of me. I mean, yes, I know I'm handsome, but can we go please? She likes my bedhead look and my chest hair look with the harness. She may need help?

You might notice my harness doesn't fit so well. I have a narrow chest not a broad chest like a pug. Mom is still trying to figure out how to "dress" me. She expected me to broaden out as the pugs did when they were around my age. But she has received the newsflash..."I'm not a pug, havaneses don't get broad". Geesh! 

Now for my "signature" hashtag closings...y'all wouldn't know what to do with yourself if I didn't give you some hashtags.

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July to all my family and furiends in Texas and AZ and some other places too. Hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating! Not much going on here for the 4th. The city has one fireworks show they are streaming live on TV tonight. Releasing the fireworks from an undisclosed location to prevent people from gathering. Stay home furiends, stay home! 

We're staying home. I think my parents are going to watch Independence Day, not sure which one? Mom was lobbying for Independence Day Resurgence. But dad prefers the original! It's his birthday in a couple days so his pick will likely win out. 

Mom's having a birthday party for him tomorrow. I have been riding shotgun with mom twice already this morning. I'm mom's favorite little dud to run errands with. Just call me, "errand boy"! LOL!

Have a great 4th...and remember you can always catch me on the "gram", as in Instagram! I'm on there daily! #allamericanboy #redwhiteandcute #letspartyathome
