Hoyt Cup Weekend..Lake City Yacht Club

Well, It's Sunday evening and we just got home from Lake City not to long ago. It was a great weekend! We took first in the Hoyt Cup, which is the last regatta of the year, that is named after a guy with the last name Hoyt. Hence the name Hoyt Cup...

Jed, Gus and I got down to LCYC on Friday night. It was Gus' first weekend on the boat. He did really well. He was a little nervous at first walking down the dock but got the hang of it.

Here I am in the V Berth where I'd like to be sleeping, BUT.........even though the cushions are waterproof.......mom and dad say the blankets are not.

I got to spend some quality time yesterday watching my Dad out sailing. Sorry the picture is so far away. They were going so fast it was hard to keep them in the view finder.

Gus had a lot of "firsts" this weekend. Being on the boat was a big one, being this is a big part of our summer weekends. He met a golden doodle named Wilson. He was a GIANT Gus. It was hilarious to watch them play. I think Wilson thought he had a shadow he just couldn't shake.

I don't think I've ever seen Gus that pooped out. With all the fresh air and playing much harder than usual he has slept every moment he can. But he got up today, still pretty tired, and gave a great effort and did it all over again today.

DauNae, Pam (my sis-in-law and mother-in-law) took the dogs to the beach. I wasn't sure what Gus would do but he had a blast. Kimball went straight to the water, and Gus, being the tag a long puppy that must do what the big kids do, tagged right along with him. He loved it!!!!

And at the water..............

Oh, by the way...did I mention when Gus was sniffing the nice bush in the middle of the beach that said bush was full of burrs!!! Poor guy, his face, under belly and front legs had quite a few stuck in his hair. But we got them out. Whew!!!

Wednesday Funday!!

Ahhhh what a glorious day! I think that today is the day that my dad doesn't have to leave. Oh boy!! We had sooo much fun. I got to play with alllll my toys.

My dad worked on my palace.

I got to play with my girlfriend, Ivy, from next door...

Then my mom finially came home and we had a photo op....

What does tonight have in store......I can only hope it will be as fun as my day was. Man its a good life. See you soon!

Bath time.

It was kinda rainy and wet out today. I guess I must have gotten a little messy when I was playing with my new Boxer friends, Floyd and Chuck. When I came into the house my Dad brought me straight upstairs and I had to take a bath. Now I'm all clean. hehehe until i go outside again and lay in the wet grass!! Here I go.........

My Weekly Birthday...

Well I'm 14 weeks old today. I get no hats, no balloons, just some puppy food in my bowl and my toys on the ground. But all in all, life is pretty great.

I've met LOTS of puppies and other dogs in my neighborhood so far since I've been home. They're all pretty cool. There is this one crazy little yorkie, just down the street, who's owner is just as crazy. The crazy owner says that I better watch out cuz he'll eat me. Uh, excuse me, I'm like 3x's your size, duh....
My neighbor, Ivy, shes a pug. Secretly really loves me but likes to play hard to get. Come on Baby, you me...you me.........We play pretty often.

The other day I met a boxer named Floyd, he's HUGE!!! He also has a new little brother, who's a boxer as well named Chuck. Hes my age. I played with them. I think they are the cool kids of the neighborhood.

The Ranch

Today is the second day of my new life. My parents loaded me up in the car and we head to something called "The Ranch". What this is I have no idea......but I think I will like it. Yep I love it!!!!! The Ranch is where my other grandparents live. Its 5 glorious acres of woods and fun. I can run all I want off my leash. This might be the best place on earth. When we get there I run into this huge brown dog. I soon find out that his name is Kimball and he is my cousin. He is a chocolate lab, and he wants nothing to do with me. I think I might be annoying him. All the humans are playing some game with colored balls and mallets. They call it croquet......I love The Ranch!!!!

8 weeks old, Im off to my new home..

It was a long ride down in the car of my breeders today. A lot of crying, uncertainty, and nerves. But I am SO excited to see my new Mom and Dad I can't even stand it! Oh, oh, here they are. Quick puff out your chest, hold your head high. Look at them they are so excited! Alright, I'm outta here, let the adventures begin. See you later everyone. I'm off on a new journey.

Our first stop was at Nana and Papas house, I guess they want to show me off. I am pretty cute if I say so myself. My Aunt and cousins were in town for awhile before they left for Japan, so they were pretty excited to meet m as well. We played A LOT!!!! Its so fun chasing little kids.

The day I was chosen..

Today was a little nerve racking. We were all to get baths to smell good and be presentable to the people that were gonna pick between us all. Of course they show up just as I'm supposed to get in the tub. But since its fun to be all messy, I guess they get to see who I really am. So here it goes. I walked up to the house in the arms of my breeder, and ya know what they loved me! All these oohs and ahhs, you know its kind of pathetic how these humans swoon over how cute we are. But after passing all of us back and forth and wondering why I was so small and light in color compared to my brothers, It was love at first site. At 3 weeks old I learned who my new parents would be. From that day, after they had left, I started dreaming of 'A Day in the Life of Gus'...........and so it begins.
