I PROMISE this is the last of Mom's crazy videos for a while

Mom cannot stop making these crazy movies. I promise no more movies for a week, at least.

This one is actually quite great. It is ALL photos of me before Tanner got here. I think you all might enjoy it. Especially Sophie, there are a LOT of great pics of me in here!

That is one of the first photos of us together. This was before his other leg mysteriously fell off.

Tanner Explains it ALL!!!!!!!

So yesterday some Peoples and Dogs said What is Sinko Day Mayo. I can't believe how many HUMANS don't know stuff and then they think they tell US what to do?! So I am going to splain some things TODAY that the humans DO NOT understand ok???




Sinko Day Mayo?! DUH! Its the day the Mayo sits in the SINK! Mom makes her own Mayo in the big food spinner so its not in a fun jar! I haven't got to taste it yet, but I hope to SOON! I think it will help me to develop my pectoriest muscles!!!

OK Also something those humans do NOT understand...




This food is called DOG food. It belongs to ME and to one JOEY. We should be able to have it ALL the time, it is DOG food not Mom and Dad food.




When I look at you like THAT it means I am STARVING to death and might DIE if I don't get food like RIGHT then!!! Mom also is totally CRAZIEREST when she makes our dinner...look at this...




She puts THAT in our food! That is one naked hairless puppy on that jar, NOT a handsome dog! Is she trying to turn us into one of those hairless pups?!?!!!




ALSO for future referencerests THAT IS POWDER that is NOT FOOD. I don't need that in my dinner OK?! Less POWDER more FOOD! If you want to skip all this extra junk altogether, just share your dinner with me OK?




I will take one of those, HOLD THE POWDER woman!

Finally I would like My MOm and Dad to understand that Joey and I only guard the house in the TV room.




If the Room behind us is a mess it is because MOM bought us a sploding toy basket! I have to walk past it real slow because sometimes it reaches out and I like fall in it and then I like look like I am digging and it TIPS but that is just me trying to GET AWAY then it SHOOTS toys all over?!!! OMDOG humans are so dumb buying these dangerous baskets?!?!

I hope your humans learn something from this post from ME the smarterest Tanner!!!

I will go first, this is so easy!

Joey: Best, Handsome, Best, The Man, Best

Here are Tanner's, funny he left out DOOFIEST!

Tanner: Superest, Funnierest, Cuterest, Snuggierest, Smarterest, Marriederest

We don't know who is left to do this, but anyone can if they want!!

Mom got us some shirts this weekend she said we can wear them to celebrate Cinco De Mayo...




I think I look pretty great, I enjoy the silky feeling it is nice and cool! I also like the palm trees, reminds me of a beach boys song or something.




Tanner is a bit LARGE for his shirt. Mom can't even velcro it in the front?! Tanner said its all his Pectoriest muscles. Whatever Dude.




I think they are pretty ok, good enough to wear while trying to score some peanuts from Dad. Please note the nice drool spots on the carpet, nothing like Mango but I try. I am not sure what Cinco De Mayo means, but I think I need to go see about a Margarita or a Corona...

Oh Canada....

Mom and Dad decided to go see a baseball game today without me! Usually, I'd be REALLY mad about it, but now that I have discovered Tanner's flying skills I am not too ticked off. I thought since the parent's would be gone I'd go visit my dear Sophie!

When I first got there she was guarding her toys from me, but I was content to just lay around and watch her. Then I got hungry...

Um, so where do you keep the snacks around this place????

Finally Sophie warmed up to me and we played and then took a nice nap together. Aren't we CUTE together??? Finally it was time to leave, but before Tanner picked me up I went and looked for that Orange Kitty that has been stalking Sophie...

I gave it a piece of my mind, I don't think it will be bothering her again anytime soon!!!

the Show Me State

Instead of getting drunk I decided I would use Tanner's recently discovered talent to show me the Show Me State, Missouri!


We went while Mom was at work, don't tell. Tanner is not supposed to be flying!

Tanner landed and said, THIS IS MISSOURI!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Um, dude, this is a BOAT, not a state? Turns out the ship is called the U.S.S Missouri, and we were actually in Hawaii! Dear lord Tanner, I hope you have some GPS!

Finally we ended up in Missouri and I asked Tanner to take me to the most famous thing in Missouri.

The World's Largest Pecan???? REALLY Tanner??? I am never letting the Doofus book my travel again. At this point I was getting kind of ticked off so he said hang and he would be right back!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
SOPHIE! She sure doesn't look all that comfortable flying with Tanner but he got her there in one piece! Luckily her Mom has been busy with Taxes and films and was pretty tired today!

Sophie said we had to go see the big Arch! We went there but I was more interested in Sophie, I was just telling her how nice she smells here, I was not trying to smooch her, I promise!!!

Finally we had to get home, but I had a nice day and I was glad to have spent the day in my home state with Sophie. I guess with Tanner too, even though he almost ruined the whole trip!

Thanks guys for making me feel better, you all said such nice things!
