RIDIN IN THE CAR

Since Sailor was a puppy, we always took him in the car with us.  He still loves going for a ride and he knows when he does he gets to either go to day care, or a dog park or to Petsmart to get treats or to an artfest to get lots of petting.  Here is he coming back from day care.  People always stare when he sticks his head out of the window as his head is so big.

BUT MOM, I ALREADY HAVE EARS!

HE WAS TOLERATING US PUTTING THIS HEADBAND ON HIM BUT HE CERTAINLY DIDNT LIKE IT!  hE HAS THIS SWEET BUT THIS SUCKS LOOK ON HIS FACE.

DOGS IN THE POOL

While I am slaving away in my cube, this is what Sailor gets to to at the Canine Club and Spa all day.  You can see him in the pool with all his buds enjoying his life!

DOGS ON THE BOAT

Beautiful June Minnesota weather called for a pontoon ride on our neighbor's, Nic and Charlie's boat.  Brandy the Yorkie, Duke the boxer and Sailor the Newfie all enjoyed the ride!  How cute is that with them all watching thr shore.

KRISTIN AND SAILOR

I LOVE THIS PHOTO OF OUR FRIEND KRISTIN WITH SAILOR ON THE BOAT WHEN THEY WERE VISITING LAST FALL.  HE LOOKS LIKE HER DATE. 

DOG DAY AT THE ARBORETUM

SAILOR HAD A FUN TIME WITH BRITT AND HER DOG, CARRIE AS WELL AS MEETING A NEW NEWFIE CALLED "TUBBY" WHOSE OWNER FOUND HIM IN A RESCUE. 

CABIN FOR NEW YEAR'S

Sailor always has a lot of fun at Jim and Christine's cabin in Wisconsin (Devil's Lake).  He loves it in winter or summer and he loves playing with their choco lab, Porter or "P".  This year we went on New Year's weekend.  The boys were outside smoking cigars and the pups were playing.  As you can see - a fun time!

BIG DOG SLEEPING

Sailor will plop down about anywhere when he gets tired.  Here he has perfect form!

SITTING IN THE SNOWBANK

This winter (2010-2011) in Minnesota has brought us record snowfall.  Even though most people hate it, like most other dogs, Sailor loves playing in it and plunking down in a snowbank. 

VACATION AT THE CANINE CLUB

Todd and I were on vacation in Maui for 2 weeks in February (2011).  Sailor went to his second home, The Canine Club and Spa.  They sent us a few pics of him having a blast.  Even though we missed him a ton, it helped getting some updates from them so that was cool.

PATIO DINING

We like to take Sailor for walks in cute towns during art festivals and to explore in the summer.  Here we are at Jack O'Connors in Excelsior and also in Anoka for during their summer art fest.  Sailor gets a LOT of attention!

BRITT AND CARRIE

Never have 2 souls met and become one so quickly as Britt and Carrie Bradshaw the dog.

MISSING OSA

Saw this picture today and it made me sad and miss Osa.  She was so happy here. I am sure she is having a ball in doggy heaven!

THOUGHTS OF SUMMER

Being as it's so cold and snowy in MN right now, my thoughts were turning toward spring, although a bit early!  I found this pic and it made me feel good remembering the day.  We went to the cute town of Wayzata and walked around with Sailor and had brunch out on a patio.
Aww Spring!

SITTING WITH THE KIDS

THIS IS SUCH A CUTE PHOTO OF SAILOR AT DOMINIC AND MICHELLE'S AT THANKSGIVING THIS YEAR.  THEY HAD SOME FRIENDS AND KIDS OVER. SAILOR SEEMS TO BE SAYING, IM A KID TOO AND WHERES MY BEAN BAG!

SUGAR THE NEWFIE

Todd's mom in Maryland, kept telling us that one of her neighbors have a Newfie named Sugar. We finally got to see her when we were visting the family in October of this year.  She was adorable (and smelly though). 

CHECKIN OUT THE VIEW

SAILOR LIKES TO KEEP AN EYE ON ALL THE HAPPENINGS ON AND AROUND THE LAKE. HES SO CUTE WHEN HE SITS IN THE SNOW AND JUST CHECKS OUT THE VIEW.

LAZY SUNDAY SAILOR

A snowy Sunday afternoon in late December watching football. . . Sailor has his piggy toy too.

3 Tired Dogs

We went to Dominic and Michelle's for Christmas Day and Sailor played like crazy with Mia  and this is the result! Maize hung out (she so reminds us of Osa in her later years), but she was tired too.
