I Learned A New Trick Today:)

You have to look close but I am honking the horn! This one will probably make gma Mary smile!

I was just hanging out talking to mom and dad!

Just taking it easy laying on my pillow in the back seat!

I have started to talk a lot more. Sometimes it makes mom and dad laugh!

Hi Everyone,

This morning when mom and dad went to breakfast at the truck stop and Paula & Tim(we met them the other day at the truck stop) came in with their new little baby! We want to send out Congratulations To Tim & Paula and their sweet new little Chihuahua puppy Princess Miliana Marie. Paula said her marking are like a hereford. But she is sooooo cute and was sleeping! I probably would have scared her she is so little. She is 8 weeks old and Paula had her in a little bag with a towel in the bottom. Maybe she can e-mail mom a pic when she gets some and we can post them here on my blog. Then when mom and dad came out and we were waiting for another escort dad was on the phone and I was standing on the steering wheel and found the horn. I was honking it until mom came over by the door and I got down. She took a picture first and you can't see me the best but she is going to post the picture anyway. It was really cute and they knew I would eventually figure it out! Now they are waiting to see if I use it too much! We finally got to leave today and go to the job site! Mom wanted to get this posted and get the pics up. So until next time go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

We found this to be a very nice little town!:)

Scenic overlook north of Accident, MD dad stopped on Sunday when it was pouring rain and rain was all you could see. Then mom stopped on Monday when she went to do laundry so she could take a few pics. That silly daddy!

Hi Everyone,

I have a lot to report tonight and mom has lots of new pictures! Today we got to stop at a really neat old bridge dad let mom out but I didn't get to get out and be in the pics too but mom hopes you enjoy them anyway! She has a few scenic pictures it really is pretty here! And when mom checked my sis Abby's blog she saw that she got to go to the groomer too! Mom says I need to go with Abby to class to learn how to come and stay better:) When mom called a groomer to see if there was anyway she could groom me today Patty Wells at Animal Crackers Pet Grooming in Accident, MD said she would do something nice and work me in. She told mom that she has about 40 dogs and is booked out 2 1/2 months. So we all really appreciated her getting me in. When dad called to see how it was going she said that I was the dog of the day! I also got a really nice new bandana and a short leash mom can use for short trips. And when mom told her about gma Mary and where I was born and how gma Mary and gpa Philip treat their dogs and won't let any of us be shipped anywhere she was really impressed and is going to send gma Mary a note. Mom wants all of you to know that the hair she shaved off me today will be going to the gulf. Patty told mom that they put all the hair dog and human in what's like panty hose and it will attract the oil in the gulf. Mom thought that was VERY cool!!!! You can check out Patty's website at http://www.animalcrackerspetgrooming.com/ Thank you again for making me a cool doggie. Daddy is very happy with my new cut and tells me I am a very handsome young man. Remember when mom told you all to stay tuned about her getting clippers and grooming me herself or if she would win and take me to a groomer? Mom is happy to report that anyone with money on the groomer are winners! Well it's off to work tomorrow and we will be headed south to Georgia. Mom is pretty sure that will be a new state for me and should put me up to 27 if mom's figures are right! Ok you all have a good night and love and kisses to the SBG mob:):) Go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:) PS Help me and Abby and put your paws up and vote for the firedogs to start blogging with us:)!!!!

My New Friend Julia & Mr. Kitty

There sure was a nice breeze!

Me & mom and dad messing with my ears!

Julia & Mr. Kitty. I really just want to play!

Julia & Mr. Kitty

Mr. Kitty isn't he the cutest little kitten?

I stepped on mom's computer and my paw doesn't work so good for the little keys! Mom thought the pics of Abby and Tucker by the computer were really cute. But when she put me by her's I thought I had to help! Isn't that what a good puppy does?

It's ok gma Mary dad has another escort in front of him here!

Before dad cut the fuzz on my nose!

Hi Everyone,

Mom is finally getting caught up on my posts:) These are pics of the load mom and dad are on now. When we got to Maryland Mike and his pilot car escort got there and Julia has a new little kitten. He doesn't have name yet so mom is calling him Mr. Kitty! He is a really cute little kitten and he didn't really like me. He would hiss at me and all I really wanted to do was play! It rained really hard here today. But earlier we got to take a ride and check out the place dad has to go with his next load. It was a nice Sunday for a little ride! It doesn't matter where we go so long as I get to ride along! I hope mom can update again tomorrow with some pics that she can take without dad being along! Have a good night and try to stay cool in all this hot weather! Mom and dad talked to a nice couple this morning at breakfast and Paula told them that we are at the second highest point in Maryland. There is one higher peak in the same county but it's about 45 minutes from here. They came out this morning to meet me and Paula is going to follow my blog. Mom is going to send her gma Mary's blog and Abby's is on one of my recent posts. We need to keep voting for the firedogs to start a blog too!! So like Sis said raise your paw and lets get them going:):) Go out and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Hi Everyone,

Sorry mom hasn't got this updated the last couple days she didn't feel very good, but is feeling better now. She hopes that the pictures will upload tonight! She is going to put up pics of her and dad's adventures in Albuquerque, NM. The ones that I got to sit out a nice cool room! Hope you enjoy the scenic pics she took! They don't allow dogs to go on the tram but next time we get stuck there mom said there is a road that goes up the back side of the mountain and I will get to go along! You never know when that might happen! Mom is LOVING Abby's new blog and still tells me what a beautiful sister I have! Abby reminds mom of her Lizzie:) Yesterday we all got to take a ride to scout out the route we have to take to deliver and we got to meet the head of the project and it might work out for us to deliver early we'll keep our paws crossed! It's really beautiful here in Maryland and West Virgina. Mom has to do laundry and a couple other errands tomorrow and will try to take some more pics. (she won't have dad along) Have a good night and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

I'm 8 Months Old Today:)

Hi Everyone,
Well mom and dad got to where they will be for at least the weekend. Mom is going to post pics she took today. I have a hairy nose and I need groomed. Dad says he's going to get clippers and mom is going to learn how to shave me down for summer. Mom wants to find a groomer. Stay tuned to see who wins! Mom really likes the pics of Abby by the computer but her pic of me didn't work out quite as nice. After she snapped the shot I stepped on the keyboard and my paws are a little too big for the keys! Yes I got in a little doggie trouble and mom put her computer away until she could put me back in the truck with dad! It's really nice here in Maryland, a nice breeze and I think it should cool off tonight. Tomorrow mom will post pictures she took in New Mexico while I was lounging where it was cool! Mom is really happy when I give her doggie hugs and she tells me that I grew up tooooo fast!!! I like being bigger because it means that I can get more places than I could when I was little. Mom also showed me pics of Rabbit boy is she ever in love with that little guy! Too bad dad won't let me have a playmate can you just imagine how much fun we would have???? Oh boy!!!:):):) Mom knows that gma Mary will find him the right home! And she tells me how much she loves Abby too! What a beautiful girl she is! She has her own blog now too and for those of you who follow me and you don't have her blog address it is http://www.abbyspotlight.blogspot.com/ Gma Mary has really started something here! Now we all need to get the firedogs started blogging too!!! Put in a good word and maybe we can make that happen! By the way I got ice cream last night a day early for my 8 month birthday! Dog life is going pretty good! Dad and I play a lot and he has taught me to sit up and I can do it every time now! Mom is really proud of both of us! Ok you all have a good night and go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:) PS Mom is having technical difficulties loading the pics to the blog. The green line goes all the way over but it won't go to done and post the picture! She will try again tomorrow. Sorry:(

Good Morning!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry mom has been so bad about getting my blog updated! We were in NM and it was really hot!! I spent a lot of time in a nice cool motel room which was fine with me because when I went out it was too hot! We got back home last night and have to leave for Maryland this morning. Mom has some pictures of an adventure that her and dad went on with some friends leaving me and my new friends Buddy and Autumn where it was cool. I see that gma Mary and gpa Philip have had lots of visits by my brothers and sisters and I hope that we can visit again soon!!!! So does mom!!:) Abby has her new blog and mom is really excited about that and will post the address the next time she updates my blog! She tells me all the time what a beautiful girl she is and the pictures she shows me she really is and I'm proud of my little sis!!!! We have to go and hope that you all have a wonderful day and stay cool if it is hot where you are! Go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Mom's daylily

Hi Everyone,
Mom is really behind in getting this updated sorry about that. But she has lots to post. I got to go to doggie daycare last week and it was fun as usual. This time mom got to get pictures before they brought me in to go home. They have rules about people not being able to get in the pen with us. But they let her take a few pics from inside the building! You can see all the toys we have to play on. Then a Brad a friend of mom and dad's brought Digger over and we got to run and play in the timber. Brad said he would bring him back again another day! I love it when other dog friends come over and we can play! Then dad started working on getting me to sit up pretty. I was doing pretty good but did lose my balance a few times. Don't worry though it didn't hurt when I fell over I just got right back up and I still got a treat so it's all good! Mom's daylilies are really pretty right now and she thought you might enjoy a couple pictures of them. Today we have to get ready to go to New Mexico. I will have mom update as our trip goes on. Hope that you all have a wonderful day! Gma Mary & Gpa Philip looks like they had fun with their visit to the firedogs Mattydale, Brinkley & Jasper mom thinks those guys are just the best and hopes that one day I can hang out with them and learn some of their good habits! Go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Walcott Jamboree!

Me & Mom at the Iowa 80 truck stop The Walcott Truckers Jamboree:)

Hi Everyone,

Mom had a little trouble getting this pic to post. Hopefully one day she gets it so she can just zoom whoosh and have my posts done! We would like to thank Heather for taking this pic for mom after her camera ended up in my doggie water bowl. She has it on the dehumidifier downstairs and got out her old camera. Now for all of you that are following trucking you need to check out the website for the Jamboree and the website is http://www.walcotttruckersjamboree.com/ You will love the pictures and see just how big this place really is. And from going there for 20 years mom can tell you how nice all the people are there and that this gathering is a thank you to the truckers for stopping there. Mom can remember what it was like forever ago and how it has grown and she will tell you that the gift shop, the food there, everything is first class and she hopes that we can go next year and stay for the entire show! And she wants to enter me in the pet contest I was pretty popular today and she thinks that I would do really well in the show and by next year she wants me to have the stay command down pat. We hope that you all enjoy the pictures and if you get thru there you HAVE to have one of their grilled Iowa Chops they are pork chops cut 1" thick and they are wonderful!!! Hope everyone in Walcott is having a good night and we hope that they have a GREAT show! Mom is hoping to get some pictures from the show and she will post them! Go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)

Remembering Bette!

Me & Mom by Lisa's Truck

Last night there was a beautiful rainbow!

Lisa on top of her truck this morning wiping it down.

The truck is owned by Valley Chrome Plating and Lisa drives it to the truck shows.

Hi Everyone,
Last night mom and I went to Walcott, IA. They have a truck show there every year and mom went for several years and made many friends. We stayed with her friend Lisa and when we picked her up at the truck stop they talked about Bette a friend they lost in Nov. of 2008. She took pictures of trucks and truckers and her and mom were best friends. She misses her terribly. Bette used to ride with mom and would take pictures for her stock photography and get story ideas. Everyone misses her so much!!! She wrote 4 books about custom trucks and the drivers that drove them. If you would be interested go to Barnes & Noble or Amazon and look for the author Bette S. Garber. The truck show is the Walcott Truckers Jamboree and they have a lot there and mom would have more pictures had her camera not got in my dog water bowl! But her friends Lisa and Heather were kind enough to take a couple pictures and send them to mom. Thank you both VERY much! Mom really enjoyed seeing her old friends and of course they all loved me! I get that a lot everywhere I go. Mom tells me that she knows Bette would have loved me too! Mom will get more information on how to get pictures of the Jamboree they have a working class truck show and an antique truck show and there chrome shop is the biggest anywhere with 3 trucks inside the showroom! It all looked pretty big to a little guy like me! Hope you are all beating the heat and staying cool. Tomorrow I get to go to doggie daycare:):):) Play with all my friends and when mom picks me up tomorrow night I will be pooped! That is mom's plan but it's ok with me what doggie wouldn't love getting to play all day? More later now go out there and put your best paw forward! Mr. H:)
