Go Chargers!

Need I say more?

Happy Memorial Day!

On this great holiday day, I thought I would wish you all a good one. I have had a great weekend.... I got to go to the beach on Saturday and then the spa. I got to go on a hike yesterday. And today I have been lazing around under my mom's feet while she works. I hear my Uncle Mike is coming to see me tonight too.

Now, all that positive does have its downsides. I recently learned that Bo is getting a lot more attention than I am. I get it... he's the President's dog, fine fine. But, when we were at the store, I was so excited that the check out guy gave me a treat that I almost missed it, but then there it was ... a WHOLE BOOK about Bo! I have to do my OWN authorship and all I get is a stinking blog.

Moooooommmmmmm! Come on!!!! I want a book too! (I sure hope she reads this and gets that I was whining and whimpering and gives me what I want).

Why oh why does the world hate me?

Okay, so to start with, last night, there was a crazy bad earthquake... well maybe not crazy bad. Nothing fell down really, but it did shake for a long time. I was really scared and tried to run in the bedroom. My mom sat with me and comforted me though. My dad ran outside... he is soooo East Coast! I heard it was a 5, which I guess is pretty big.

Then, this morning, before my mom's alarm clock even went off, there was all this crazy noise outside. They are taking away my sidewalk! I love that sidewalk. I walk on it, and sniff things, and do all kinds of stuff, but there they were just breaking it up and taking it away.

So, then I came to my mom's office, which was awesome at first because I got to see my Uncle Don, and he pet me and pet me and was super nice. The only problem was that my mom forgot her keys. So, I had to get locked in the lab while she went and did stuff, and I hated it so much I started barking. But then she came back, and we sat on the couch, and also I got to lie on the awesome cold tile floor. So, I guess it seems like its going okay now. I hope I get to go home soon and my world stops changing!


Here are some pictures of me hard at work in the LUCI lab.

Space Doggie!

The STAR group went out for their annual outing... they went cosmic bowling, and all I got was this silly light necklace.

Adorable video

My mom has had a rough couple of weeks at work... lots of grant and paper writing. I showed her this video to cheer her up. This might cheer you up if you are having a bad day.

'Bout time I made it to flickr

All my friends have been making fun of me, cuz my mom is soooo boring and never hardly posts to flickr, but my friend sam hooked me up.

thanks sam!

Mom and Dad are back.... and I can almost roll over

My parents abandoned me for a week... they went to some place they keep calling "the big island" but I don't know whats so big about it. As for me, I was pretty well taken care of. My friends Gabi and David hung out with me all week. David taught me to roll over, but I am so fat, I get stuck on my back and then sometimes he is a sucker and just gives me the treat anyway. He also got me two new toys... woohoo! My parents came back and that makes me happy, but they keep talking about how I need a bath, and I am less happy about that. I'll post a picture though once I am all pretty again.

Bye bye Margarita!

I am so sad Margarita has gone... but I will look at this picture of her and think of her fondly often!

My New BFF

So... I am really sad that Margarita is leaving... don't get me wrong. I am even trying to score an invite to her going away party this weekend.

I do want to say, however, that I totally have a new bestie... her name is Gabi. She is way more renegade than Margarita. She took me on a golf course (I haven't been on one of those since my mom was a beer girl when I was just a young pup). She also walked me super far one day, so far I thought I might totally die, cuz I am kind of old and fat. Anyway, I was pooped, but then I was sooo happy, because we were at my other good friend David's house, and he took me for a ride in the car. I thought I would get to go somewhere cool... Normally, he takes me to the beach. That's fun except for he is always making this weird noise when we go there. It sounds like "Hunnnngggington" and he tries to get me to make the noise too... weirdo. Anyway, sorry, got distracted. I am kind of ADD. So, anyway, we got in the car, and instead of going some place cool, he just took me home. It was okay though cuz my new bestie was there.

My mom just told me she is going to stay with me for a whole week in February. I am soooo excited. I almost peed myself with joy, which kind of gets my mom back for torturing me with some kind of crazy small dinosaur thing that makes weird noises.

Patterson Family Holiday Card

Clearly Don knows who is important and has addressed the card appropriately.... either that or he just really wants to be on the blog :)

Either way, I will appease him.
