Skele-dog to the rescue!!

I can't stop taking pictures of my dog wearing clothes!!!! Its just too damn funny and cute not to. Spencer actually doesn't seem to mind wearing clothes so we put him in the skeleton costume and took him downtown on Friday night. Everybody loved it! This costume was well worth the $18 bucks spent.

The costume actually glows in the dark too. Can't wait to take my dog trick-or-treating!

My puppy eating ice cream! Cute!

In the name of all that is cute, I now present to you SPENCER EATING ICE CREAM!!!!! My dog is so freaking cute sometimes, er, always!

Passed Out

I don't care if my blog is all about my dog. Sorry, Charlie, he is just the cutest thing since Hello Kitty.

A dog in sheep's clothing

OH MAN! One of the best things about having a dog is dressing him up! Endlessly entertaining. Here we have Spencer the peasant followed by cowboy Spencer.

He looks utterly thrilled, don't you think?

Giving My Puppy a Bath!!!

After our crazy evening playing in the pond at the dog park, Spencer needed a bath. I love how pathetic and silly puppies look when you get them wet. Look at those ears! I think he looks like Yoda in the bottom picture. Poor little guy!

Puppy in a Pond

A few days ago, we took Spencer to the pond at the dog park to test the waters and boy was it hilarious!!! He ran back and forth along the pond banks and buried his nose into the mud. He rolled around in the dirt and while rolling around, he managed to roll right into the water!!!! I would have to say he looked like he was having alot of fun but man oh man was he a dirty dog afterwards:)

4th of July

I would say I had a nice, chill 4th of July this year. Will and I ate dinner on the patio of Quinton's in downtown Iowa City with Spencer at our foot. After chowing down on spinach artichoke dip and awesome sandwiches, we ran into some friends and chilled in the Ped Mall to watch the fireworks. While we watched the fireworks, Spencer chowed down on some flowers out of the flower bed. Quality Care lawn services would kill us!

Da' Dawg Park

Even though Spencer is the tiniest dog of them all, he really seems to enjoy going to the dog park. At first, all of the dogs surround him and sniff him out, then, Spencer looks for a shady spot to hang out, and finally, he musters up enough courage to half-ass chase after another dog.

A few days ago, Spencer spent the bulk of his time chewing up a stick. Go figure!

Puppy Vision 2.0

My little child Spencer is growing up. The little guy has definitely put on a few pounds in the week or so that we have had him, and has become so comfortable with us that he gets kinda puppy craaaaa-zy at times as well. Also, I have noticed Spencer has grown in some of his coarser adult fur, which makes me sad that our little guy is growing up :(

Spencer tried to give Hello Kitty a lobotomy. Sadly, she could not scream for help because she has no mouth.

Our puppy sitting in "jail" for the first time ever. AKA, the kennel. Poor little guy has the jail house blues!

Told ya he's getting bigger! But he still has his puppy dog charm.

We got Spencer his big boy bowls the other day. At first, he was scared of it because the metal identification tag on his collar would clank against the bowl..... But he got over that pretty fast!

Our pup taking a break from the heat at the dog park. Spencer rolled in a puddle of water and laid in the shade, like the cool dog he is. This is one of my favorite pictures because you can see the little puppy paw prints all over the place.

Yup, he likes to crash out on his back.

Stay tuned for scenes of Spencer going to the bars for the first time. Our little boy going to the bar at age 11 weeks!

The Life of a Dog

I have a strong feeling our puppy Spencer is going to grow up soo very quickly, therefore, I am going to do my best to document his growth and his progress. He was born on April 10th, 2009 and Spencer left home for the first time and became part of our pack on Friday, June 19th. We are very fortunate the website for Denning Farms accurately documented the life of our pup since day 1. Our little guy is growing up!

At this point, we have had out puppy for about a week and he has taken to his new lifestyle pretty well. More or less, he is pampered and spoiled. Spencer quickly learned his name, to come when called, sit down, and lay down. He is such a smart boy!

Stay tuned for more puppy updates!
