Basil Talks

Cats: Yes!

When Basil was in his foster home, he was not tested with cats, so for the time being FBRN said "No" for the Cat category. Since then I was always curious and wanted to introduce Basil to cats. We've been to Pet Smart and he seemed really curious about them. We brought him over to my friend Stephanie's house where she has 3 cats. Basil was so delighted!!! He LOVED THEM! I think he thinks that the cats are just other dogs like him. They are as big as him too. The funny thing is that he sniffs their behind and cats just don't understand that. Basil chased the cats and they "played" with him. Basil would bark at the cats when they got up on the counter. I think he was wondering "hey why do you get to go on the counter?"


I'm hiding up here on the kitchen counter.


Look at that hiney! Basil is ready to play!


Hi! Nice to meet you! What are you???

Verdict says: it's a YES for cats!

I had a blast at my pawtay!

I had the time of my life last night at my birfday pawtay! So many of my friends showed up and so many new friends! I can't wait to play with them again. We had birfday cake, treats, toys, and lots of running around. My mom and dad took lots of video and photos which they are uploading now to my site, so stay tuned!

23 months and 3 weeks!

My 2 year old birthday is coming up soon. I feel different already. What do you think? Do I look older? Wiser?


How about like this?


Or like this?

I don't like the sound of paper

Mommy is always making to-do lists, reading magazines, and doodling landscape designs. Just as I am enjoying a nice nap, she turns the page on her crisp, fibrous paper and wakes me up. I bark because I think there is an intruder, but NO. It's just my mom being a mom.

Basil is back!

Hi all! I'm back from vacation! Did you all miss me? It was Memorial Day weekend and we all decided to take a family vacation. I'll do a few recaps at a time since I'm still pretty tired from the ride. There's just something about eating, sleeping and more eating that wears a dog out.


So mom and dad decided to drive to Montreal. First we had to go through NY State which was beautiful. I LOVE NY!


The Adirondack's are beautiful. The weather is so nice and cool.


I didn't want to say anything, but I would have prefered to fly, but mom and dad said they are "saving". I don't know for what. I'm not that high maintenance.

Here we are in the Hudson Valley. George Washington fought here. He must have been fighting the French. booooo

This was just the beginning of our trip...
