Happy Happy Happy

Today, as we were walking to the back of the yard and Landry was bouncing around us- yes,literally bouncing in circles around us, three words came to my mind - happy happy happy (in the voice of Phil Robertson, of course).  This is a great way to describe Landry -he is just plain happy!  He loves when we are all outside together.  He just runs, jumps, bounces along- usually going around us in circles :)  It doesn't matter if you get on to him or really upset with him - in about 2 seconds, he has brushed that off and is happy happy happy! I usually do refer to him as nuts or crazy - but someone may get the wrong impression - so happy is a better, more appropriate, descriptive word!

We went to the vet on Thursday to weigh in for his heartworm/flea med - he weighed 56.6 lbs!!! In March he weighed 36.9lbs. That's 20lbs- 10 lbs per month!!! Geez.... I really thought he had slowed up on his growing, guess I was wrong.
 
Riding to the vet and to trail.  He loves the bike trail! It was really hot, so we didn't go as far as last time.

  
Tim and Landry playing around.  Parker and Luke, dad is trying to get Landry used to the way you would pick up Pete - that way he won't go into shock when you start picking on him :)  *Right pic:  He loves to put his front paws on this stool (and the flower pot at the back steps - aka : his look out tower)
 
He went and got his blanket from his kennel and piled it up so he can lay on it -
right next to where Tim sits (of course!)


Love this shot.  Taken one early morning :)





 Oh, he did have a first this week!  Our AC went out - par for the course, 1st time it has been hot :/ , so luckily Parker has a window unit in his room (which we keep for events such as these).  So, Tim and Landry slept upstairs one night in the cool AC.  It was Landry's first time sleeping in the bed!  (well, except the 1st night we got him and we stayed at the camp).  Tim said he wasn't so sure what Tim was trying to get him to do- Jump on the bed? What? I usually get on trouble for such things, but ok...  Tim said they slept close for along time, but then Tim got up in the middle of the night, and that threw Landry off - really doesn't take much- so Landry came and slept on his bed in the room with me for the remaining of the night.  But today when we went up to Parker's room to straighten it, Landry was like "are we getting back on the bed!!" He kept putting his paws up on the bed like he was going to sneak on- but he seemed to always be in my way of folding the blanket, so he never got to.  He will get his chance soon when Hannah comes to stay with him :)

Birthday Celebration and Kentucky Derby

We are looking forward to a fun filled weekend.  My mom turns 70!! Wow unbelievable - such an awesome lady - she doesn't seem 70 at all!  (I know she is cringing every time I mention that she is 70 :)  To celebrate, the family is coming over to the house for some bocce ball and hanging out.  Then we will place our bets and watch the Kentucky Derby (a family fav) and then dinner - Dad's frying up some of his famous fried chicken! MmmmMmm, so good.  I hope Mom has a great birthday!

This picture cracks me up so much! 
I felt like it was fitting, being that Landry looks like
a sleaze bag racehorse gambler!!! with a cigar!!
Hahahaha!!!
Thanks to Hannah for capturing this many weeks ago :)
