Monday Mischief: Birthday Celebration

Sandy sure is causing a lot of Monday Mischief up and down the East Coast today!  We hope all of our friends are safe, warm, and dry.  It has been raining here in New Hampshire since last night, and our winds are starting to pick up a little bit.  So far, :::knock on wood::: we still have power! 

As you may have read, Teutul turned 9 last Thursday.  We celebrated with cake, treats and a pretty cool toy that, ah-hum, Mama just might have wanted to keep all for herself.  But, don't worry, I didn't.

The birthday boy and his C-A-K-E...

Sneaking in a few licks while we were trying to take pics...

Here come the siblings to help with the cake licking tasting...

The awesome toy, if I do say so myself, is Pat the Pumpkin Man from HuggleHounds.  Is this not the cutest dog toy you've seen in a long time?  Tut sure thinks so!

"Hey Mom, I got a monkey pumpkin on my back!"

 No fear Tut, your hooey hound sister is here to help!

Everyone loves Pat the Pumpkin Man!

I adore this picture of Lola taking her turn with Pat... look at the determination in those eyes!

 

Pat the Pumpkin Man has been a huge hit and all four Lapdogs take turns playing with him.  I'm quite pleased, especially with my picky pack.  We hope you all enjoy the rest of your Monday... stay safe and let's keep all fingers & paws crossed for the power to stay on!  Oh, and for those of you who don't come by daily, wag on back to Friday's post and enter to win an awesome Merrick Food Revolution Launch Box for your pack!

Black & White Sunday

It's the Lapdogs' first Black & White Sunday!  We always love seeing all of the great b&w shots each week and since the humans finally have a weekend to relax at home prepare for Sandy's arrival, we thought we'd play along too.  We sure do hope all of our friends up and down the East Coast are preparing & staying safe... and getting to sit down and watch the Pats game from London.  GO PATS!

Looks Who's a Nifty 9!

Where or where does the time fly?  My second youngest is 9 today!  It seems like Tut was just a baby, and now it's time for yet another year in photos...


Happy Birthday Teutul!

Of course, Tut still thinks he's the baby, no matter how old - or gray - he gets.

 

He's so great at being King Tut...

 

He loves his siblings...

Enjoying the great outdoors (don't you love his question-mark tail by the way?)...

It's hard work reviewing items for the blog...

Playing the part of big foster brother...

 

Tut sure loves his Daddy.  He protects the race car by day, and claims his favorite spot (aka Daddy's shoulder) by night... 

Always up for a couch pile with his siblings...

It's still so hard to believe you're nine already.  Time flies far too fast... especially in dog years! 

Happy Birthday Baby Boy!!!

Scenes From Last Week...

Happy Hump Day - it's time to get Wordless!
