My favorite cousin, Tucker came to visit on Tancook and we ran and ran and then I taught him how to dig. He even taught me something - he taught me how to swim! I went swimming for the very first time in my short puppy life! It was soooo much fun and I smelt like seaweed for the rest of our trip!





But, Tucker's a wee bit older than me, so he gets tired easier. He tried so very hard to ignore me so he could rest, but I just wasn't going to let him - it's so rare that we get to see each other, I had to make sure that he was all played out!

Earlier this month, Mom, Dad and I took our annual road trip to the East Coast. This time, we were lucky enough to spend some time on Little Tancook Island - a small island off of the coast of Chester, Nova Scotia.

First we had to take a ferry! My very first boat ride and I was a super-good girl! Not afraid at all.



Then I had a bit of a romp around the island - so much room for me to run!



And then we arrived at our new home for 3 nights. Dad's cousins bought this house and refinished it - it's so wonderful inside! We stayed with Grammy & Grampy Taylor - they spoiled us rotten, I can just imagine how spoiled the baby will be when he comes!

Whatcha' got in there Mom? I don't know what Mom's got going on in her belly, but whatever it is, it comes with lots of little things that I like to try to steal! I just love little baby clothes. I just can't wait until I see what she's growing in there - we're going to be the best of friends!

It's been so nice here lately I've been spending time outside with Mom and Dad in the backyard. I love to eat grass and play catch with Dad, but I really love to roll around in the grass!

Mom went to the One of a Kind Show today and came back with some goodies for the baby... of course, I'm her baby right now, so I thought that she bought all of these things for me! Especially the monster - his name is Mitch and I really just want to taste him!


She also bought a bib, Dad thought it would be funny if we put it on Tallulah... she didn't think it was so funny.

Mom and Dad keep talking about how there's a 'baby' coming to live with us in August. Well, today, the first of the baby's things arrived at our house, and we set it up to make sure it works okay - well, Tallulah was the tester, I'm just too big, and she loves the new baby toy.



We both love the music and mobile... I liked to nip at the little toys.. Tallulah was just relaxing. She spent an awful long time in the swing!



I wonder if I'll get to test out any of the baby's things?

My Old LL Bean bed that I've had since I was a little puppy is all worn out - so Mom and Dad brought me home a new bed... I love to spend my days lazing on my new bed... and it smells good too! I also got some cow trachea that day... what a good day.

This Afternoon, Dad thought we should give the local Squirrels some snacks to help them through the winter, so he sprinkled peanuts on the back deck and Tallulah and I waited patiently for the squirrels to come.. and they did!



Mom, even though she hasn't been feeling well lately, decided to join us on the floor to watch the squirrel enjoying his snack.



Now the Squirrel won't leave our deck!
