Happy 1/2 Year Old Birthday Hiney!!

Hines is exactly 6 months today! Yay! 6 months and 65lbs!! We spent the morning at the dog park where he was the highlight of the park... as always ;) Our lil guy has some adjustments to make soon. Amy and I will both be working night shift soon. So he will be spending a couple days a week at doggy daycare! He is gonna LOVE it I think. The hardest part may be the long nights without us. At least he had a new friend that will be letting him out at some point during the nights we both work. We will see how it goes... :)

Now he is exhausted and ready for bed :) Mission accomplished!

HInes first trip to the Bark Park :)

Our lil Hiney is getting soooooo BIG!!


We took our 62lb pup to the bark park for the first time the other day... He had so much fun running and chasing the other pups! We couldn't exactly call him a beast at the park though... He was the smallest one there!!! There were a few areas of standing water and we all know how much Hines likes water... LOL Needless to say he had to get a good hose down before he got in the hummer :) It makes us so happy that he gets along with other dogs so well. We cant wait to go back!!!

Get 'em man!!
Mingling with his new buddies :)
Big muddy puddles lead to....
A super dirty face! LOL
NOT his favorite part of the day...
And... He's OUT!

Still growing...

Over the last 8 weeks Hines has DOUBLED in size!! He is 60.9 lbs now!! He is getting so big!! He is so big and loves the water so much that I can no longer take a shower with the bathroom door open... I discovered that yesterday while I was showering. I felt something on my right hip... I look down... and GUESS WHO!?!?! LOL Hines decided to join me haha.. It was pretty hilarious! Anyway... Hope you enjoy this video of him playing with a grape tomato. He is such a doll...

First Day at the Beach!

We took our 54lb beast to the beach today for the first time. He just LOVED it!!! He would run through the waves splashing about :) He would even swim out where it was over his head. The first time freaked him out a bit but then he was good to go :)

Graduation Time!!

HIP HIP HOORAY!! Hines has graduated puppy class. We are sooo proud of him!! He did really good today. He even had a crowd form watching his sit and stay. I think that its partly because he didn't feel good but we will take it. He now knows watch me, leave it, sit, down, stay, sit and stay, down and stay, come when called, and we started working on heel. :) Such a good boy!!! LOVE HIM!

Pool Time :)

Hines cooled off in his pool again last week! He is still LOVIN the water! And he is getting so big that it looks like we may need a bigger pool here soon! He really liked bobbing for ice cubes :)

Sorry...

So I am a slacker... I haven't blogged in a couple weeks. Nothing much has changed but the size of our beast. Last week at the vet he weighed in at 43.7 lbs. BIG BOY!! He is able to get on the couch and bed on his own now. NOT a good thing LOL. I got out of the shower the other day to find this.



Haha! What a Ham!! And a couple weekends ago we went to the river. Hines ended up cooling off in the cold hot tub :) He had fun splashing around with his new buddy :)






His Aunt Katie and Uncle Chuck are coming in today so there will most likely be a new blog soon :)
