YouTube - Mountain Saddles Ezekiel Rising

 

It is with great sadness that we had to help Zeke cross to the Bridge. Zeke we miss you. You were our big goofy boy, the playful innocent puppy and a great companion. May you run free forever Zeke.

Newfs just want to have fun

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, mom and dad took us to see some friends that live in Garden Valley Idaho. Their names are Yogi, Montana and Grizzley Rose. Oh, and Sam and Sandie too, the human friends.

The first and proper thing to do was become re-acquainted with our Newf friends.

After visiting for awhile, we found out the real reason we came along - to get our picture taken. And we had to sit still. Don't these people know that there's snow to run in here???

After awhile, we got so bored of sitting and posing and trying to look handsome. So we let mom and dad know it.

We had a great time playing with you Yogi, Montana and Rose. Thanks for inviting us. We hope we can come back again! And thanks Sam Rosen of Garden Valley, Idaho for taking our pictures.

Welcome Theona!

This past Saturday we added a new addition to our family - Theona! We were lucky enough to be able to adopt her and give her a new forever home. She's 5 years old and such a sweetheart. Collectively we are now known as TAZ - Theona, Abbey, Zeke (maybe we should change the name of our blog?). Theona is adapting well to her new home and is loved by all. We are looking forward to many happy days and wonderful adventures with her.

Labor Day Weekend camping

Mom and Dad took us on a long weekend camping trip to Warm Lake here in Idaho.

We had a very good time. We did all sorts of interesting stuff, like swimming, walks, chasing squirrels and and trying to eat a dead, dried up frog that was crunchy like a potato chip. Of course, we are the subjects of all of the good pictures that mom and dad took.

Here we are lounging around the camp site.

This is a Stellar's Jay that kept taunting us to chase it.

These are our friends, Denali and Walter. The four of us always have fun together.

Some things we did this summer

Summer is not our favorite time of year. We'd much rather it was 20 degrees outside, with 6" of snow and blizzard warnings posted until like next March. So when we're not inside hogging cool air coming from the air conditioning vents this is some of the stuff we've done.

Abbey and Zeke go to the mountains

So today we had our choice of going with Dad to the mountains or staying home with Mom while she goes shopping. Hmmm......what should we do? Tough choice for a Newfie.
After driving for what seemed like FOREVER we finally stopped by this little mountain stream where Dad let us out of the truck.
As usual, Abbey was the first in the water, but Zeke wasn't far behind. He just had to pee first.
After getting our feet wet and sniffing everything we could, we had to dry off. So we jumped out of the creek and ran around like banshees. Dad didn't get any pictures of that because he left the camera in the truck when he went to get his ham sandwich. Dad didn't give us any of that either.
We had a good day and wore ourselves out. We let Dad post to our blog while we take a much needed nap by the front door.
We hope all of our friends had a nice weekend too.

What we did this weekend

Abbey subscribes to the "Last one in is a rotten egg" theory. Judging by the look on her face, her dad is waaaaay to slow.














Zeke always seems to get caught looking a little goofy (like a lot of adolescent young men). But he really isn't that concerned with physical appearances. I love that tongue.















Never mind that it's only 45 degrees, the water was just recently snow pack and it's raining. This is what being a Newfie is all about.
















Abbey wondering what the heck Zeke is doing. The water is this way.















Wet, dirty, and oh so happy. This is what weekends are all about.
