I’m feeling SUPER SPECIAL. The fine folks at Dogster have bestowed my humble little blog with their coveted 4 Paws Up badge!
Thanks Dogster! I will fly these badges with pride. They make my butt wiggle. And yes, I am open for cuddling anytime.
Love,
Bogart
Gotta love the SNOW SNOUT!!!
The only way to get one is to go in, go deep, and dig in with all you’ve got!!!
Use all of your resources… (i.e., front yard AND back yard)
Instinct takes over… nose down, going to ground…
Paws optional – mostly for style and flair…
Full schnoz!!!
And the result…
Another public service brought to you by Bogart Handsome Devil, trendsetter.
Love,
Bogart
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
It’s S-N-O-W-I-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohmydog you guys, this is my first real snow – so even though it’s Sunday, I woke mama up at 7 AM so we could go for a brisk early-morning walkie! I just KNOW she appreciated this, I could see it in her face (well, just her eyes because the rest of her was completely covered to protect her from the cold)…
Slippery… but COOL
Come on mama, there is no need for a short walkie because of the snow – I’M NOT COLD
The forest is really beautiful during the snow – we haven’t seen another person or dog – so we’re making the first footprints…
So now it’s time to make the ceremonial first footprint in the snow in our backyard.
Then… time to PLAY!!!
A little snow on the button…
PLAY WITH MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Mama and dad didn’t know exactly what to expect during my first romp in the snow, but I’ve gotta say that I took to it like a champ. It’s AWESOME and since it’s going to snow all day it looks like we’ll have some for awhile!!!
Love & Snowy Aire Kisses,
Bogart
PS – We’ve been having SO MUCH FUN, mama just had to add some new pictures:

YOU LIKE ME – YOU REALLY LIKE ME
I am humbled and very grateful to accept this award from the folks at Dogs With Blogs – the Webmasters Choice Award for Outstanding Blog.
I have been blogging for just over 3 years now, and remember the dark times before DWB – when there were no other dogs with blogs, no one reading my blog, and no online dog community – and the day that I got a little email from our friends Greg and Brooke asking if I wanted to join a new site that they were putting together called Dogs With Blogs. Everything changed after that, and not only did more and more dogs join up and link to us, but friendships (and flirtations for me) were born.
THANK YOU Greg, Brooke, Charlie and Opy for recognizing my blog, and for being MY FRIEND
Love,
Bogart
Inspired by the absolutely amazing Michael Phelps and his 8 gold medals, today I decided was going to be the day that I actually SWIM. You’ll remember that last time I went into the river I only waded up until my beard. Today I’m gonna go ALL THE WAY…
Ok, maybe not right away…
Wait a minute dad, did I say I was going to swim today? Uh, I think I meant something else… oh well, HERE WE GO…
The Sandy River isn’t that deep here which is FANTASTIC – it made me feel like I was swimming well before I actually was.
Can you see me here? I’M SWIMMING!!!
Totally wet, totally swimming. Woo-hoo!
And even better, there are STICKS in this river – why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner? – and since it’s really hot outside today, I’m LOVIN’ this…
There were lots of people who had the same idea that I did about swimming today, and lots of other doggies. There was even a human in a kayak who got a little too close for comfort…
This is me splashing him as he went by… he was really moving fast, but I think he got the idea that I wasn’t pleased by all of my fuzzy splashing.
Notice my technique here – paws straight out, nose up, stick in mouth.
Then… SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE
And of course then I had to pee on the sand castle that two little girls were building while I was swimming. Just to show ‘em that I’M THE MAN…
Oh yeah. Wet, muddy, AND sandy beard… whaddaya think ladies?
I’m feeling very rugged individualist here.
A final parting beard shot…
Ah, yet another thing that I have conquered. Just like Michael. I’m feeling good, but I’m also feeling thirsty.
EXACTLY what I was thinking… a quick visit to the Lucky Lab for some brewskis.
Please… NO AUTOGRAPHS…
Love,
Bogart
