And More Snow in our Big Front Yard

2010-01-10T20:16:00.019+01:00

Big Front Yard, aka the Park, and Bromley is zooming through its Snow in 2010!

Mom keeps saying there are more sniff spots than one. She just doesn't understand.

My regular twice daily trail is so much more interesting covered in white..

Who can wait for a straggling Misha?

What?!?! We already had this discussion, remember?

Yes, it really is the only spot of importance at this moment.

I's got sticky. Please don't interrupt.

I said don't interrupt!

Ya, I took posing lessons from big bro.

Ok, Mish, I'm posing, but what are *you* doing?

Failed posing..not my fault!

Ooh, doggies! Let's say hi!

I like it when someone pulls off the iceballs from my boots...

Wild Bromley field sighted!

This place tastes really good. Have you tried it yet?

Mom's favorite.

Eat snow, or run? I can do both!

Time to beat Mish up. Or try to.

I think he's winning.

I'm still stubborn and annoying.

Er..how bout we just call it tie?

Always safe to pull the Cutes out!

White Christmas

2009-12-25T17:57:00.008+01:00

Catchin' snowballs..

See how grown up I am? Chewing my bone...

..under the Christmas Tree...

..and telling Big Bro Mish it isn't quite time to open Pressies yet..

Well, ok, I couldn't help just one sniff myself.

Dad and I are best buds.

I got a squeaky Big Blue for Christmas! It says Jump on it. I know how to spell. F-o-o..um, nevermind.

Even More SNOW!

2009-12-25T17:45:00.008+01:00

What?! It tastes good. You should try it. It's cheap. Economical. Green.

Waaaaaaaaaaa! Did you ever hear of the famous Charge of the Berner Brigade? It looked something like this.

Oh hi, I's just chewing a smiley stick.

Snow makes Bromleys happy.

Lots and lotsa Snow!

Watch out below! Not really sure where the snow breaks are!

More SNOW!

2009-12-23T17:24:00.015+01:00

I is pretty, yeah?

Watch out for Wild Bromley on the left!

My sticky. I found it.

Shall we sing now?

Come on Dad, MUSH!

I is the big bad wolf of the woods...

Me and Mish show off our prettiest.

Racing in snow is what Bromleys were made for!

Gettin' Ready for the White Christmas

2009-12-23T17:00:00.005+01:00

Me and Mish pose for the Christmas photos... I love my big bro.

But where, oh where, is the snow?!?! This is PATHETIC!

And then...it came! Real snow! I was outside all day long looking for cats, racing in figure eights, and surprise attacking Misha.

Mom just *had* to put these silly collars on again.. I'll fix her and eat it.

Kissie for Misha!

Didn't I tell ya I'd take care of that collar thing?!

Misha sees something...

I don't, I got snow in my eyes.

Yes, if there is snow, a Bromley can run all day. ALL DAY.

Let's play Bite Face! I bet I can win!

And this was the last we saw of Mom and the Camera... Just kidding!

NOOOOOOOOOO, not the Evil Antlers again!

I is NOT amused, Mom. Where is the nearest Complaint Department.

CAT! Went here!

Miscellaneous Fall Days

2009-12-10T16:45:00.028+01:00

Just a bunch of stuff...

Box shredding with Mish...

I'm better at it than he is.

I want sticky in the park too!

Showing off my butt...

Uh, Misha did it...realllllly...

CAT PATROL!

Just bein' my cute sweet self!

Happy 2nd Birthday to ME!

2009-10-07T16:21:00.040+02:00

My 2nd birthday! Woohoo! Does this mean I'm grown up yet?? And why does Mom keep getting out these stupid hats???? I don't like hats!

If that wasn't bad enough, then I got Misha on my case about actually having to KEEP the hat on. Sheesh! I mean, just look at his face. He is really serious. Apparently, if I don't keep my hat on, we don't get treats. That would make Misha very upset...

...And trust me, you don't want to get Misha upset...

See, this is Misha when serious, but not upset. Already pretty formidable.

So I kept my dumb hat on, then pouted, then fell asleep. Some party this is.

But then Adventure came! A Birthday Cat Patrol!

Hey, I even kept my hat on!! Sorta.

Misha is such a show-off.

We got burger cakes at the real party, which made up for the dumb hat episode.

And Pressies, of course! Extraordinary Bromley takes on Year 2!

The Best Thing in My Life...

2009-09-30T15:32:00.110+02:00

...just arrived this week! Well, ok, it's the best other than cuddles, food, bones and walks, at any rate. I got myself a doggie door!

At first me and Mish weren't so sure about this whole weird idea of a door within a door. To us, this looked extremely stupid. The big door was, well, bigger, and therefore nicer. It stays open all summer long. Now we are supposed to squeeze through this cat hole? Something just isn't quite right here...

Are we sure he knows what he's doing??? Better supervise just in case...

Misha did not think the doggie door was a very good idea. He spent the next two weeks pouting through the window when Mom wouldn't open the big door for him.

I, however, (unlike Mr. Spoiled Rotten Pants) properly appreciate things. When people go through the trouble to buy and install a doggie door for me, I use it. I use it about 354 times a day... Cat hole indeed! How could Mish ever have called it such a thing! This is the best invention ever! Well, other than maybe an automatic treat dispenser. Hey, my birthday is coming up...

Anyhow, now I never have to hold my bladder, can sleep outside in the middle of the night, and go on cat patrol 24/7. I am the happiest pupper in the world.

2009-09-09T15:31:00.024+02:00

Oh, it's just all so exciting, where do I begin?? I've been growing up and having fun, woohoo! On August 23rd I celebrated my first forever home anniversary. Life is so much easier these days. Now that I've experienced all of the seasons in my new home everything is becoming so much more familiar and comfortable. Now I know that when the weather changes it doesn't mean something terrible is going to happen. I stay at home and do the same things...like flopping on my back without notice in any location to beg for belly rubs, sit on Misha, eat breakfast on my bed and leave crumbs on it for Mom to clean up...all that sort of thing. The older I get the more a good boy I am. One of my previous posts touched on the subject, but I must reiterate (new fancy word I learned, see that Mish??): I am a GOOD BOY!

Me and my favoritest bud, big bro Mish, spend so much time together, we do everything in sync!

I can be so helpful too! It began to rain and blow, so I generously offered to hold down the tarp.

The new Berner Patio needed testing. Happy to oblige!

More testing. I always volunteer. Misha often won't, he says he's no guinea pig...whatever that is.

See what a good boy I am? I use my Puppy Potty! Ok, I won't when nobody is looking...sshh!

Cuddling with Mish! I adore my big brother and he adores me too. Yesterday he sat on me. That was nice, but he's a little too big for that sort of thing.

Did I mention Misha is big? Move over bro!

Hi, my name's Bromley. This is my bed and this is my box.

This is me in demo mode.

Mish and I just hangin' out on our new Berner Patio. The shade canopy needs some work. Miracle Gro?

We went on a Berner hike last weekend. I met this puppy and wanted to take him home sooo badly. Mom said no. I want a puppy! Booohooo!

Yes ladies, one handsome Berner boy here!

Oh well, I tried!

And that was yet another fantastic Bromley update! Hop on over to Misha's blog to see more picies!

I know I haven't posted in a long while...it has been a very traumatic time for me. I mean, first Spring arrived, and that was bad enough. I don't like seasons to change...actually NOTHING should change, it makes me nervous and do crazy things which make me sick, which makes me more nervous. It is hard. Then, Misha disappeared and came back very sad and sick and with this weird contraption on his head. I had to temporarily grow up that day so I could take care of my big brother. Talk about hard! After that, just when I thought things were getting better, Summer had to arrive! What business does the weather have to change all the time?! I was really upset again. We went to watering holes, (which can be fun, but also get me upset) instead of going to the regular park across the street. It got HOT, and all these new curtains went up and made the house as dark as a dungeon, which also upset me. It was/still is too hot to go outside during the day...more upset... And then this EVIL metallic clanging contraption came out of the closet and..and...rotated and blew air on me!!!!!!!!!!!! I screamed and ran away until it was gone.

However, there have been some nice things happening since my last post. Everybody (the idiots) finally figured out what I want: to stay at home, EAT, get belly rubs all day long and walk the exact same trails in the same park twice a day. Yes, that is what a Bromley wants. Misha says this is an extremely stupid and boring way to live, and gets grumpy sometimes. I really don't understand him, he is way too complicated, but I love him anyway. Anywho, when life is perfectly steady and not a single thing changes, I am comfortable. I don't eat sticks all day long. I can walk through the whole park without a pacifier (except my baby strip attached to my leash). I also get fed about 2 cups of kibble 3 times a day, plus 2 slices of bread, my dentastix and weekly bone. Watch out! No one dares call me "little" anymore, I'm the not so lean mean Bromley machine! I have gone my whole life being hungry, people, and you all wonder why I couldn't chew my food before! Numbskulls!

What blog post could be complete without picies?!?

This is me being really sweet to Misha after his surgery.

This is me moping with Misha, like a good brother should.

Getting my belly rubs!

Hanging with Mish...he's still grumpy with his recovery, so of course he needs my cheering up!

Multi tasking! Yes, we can pose, be pretty and be on cat patrol all at the same time. We're so talented!

Misha is not allowed to run away, all the way to the other side of the beach. It was very bad of him. SO, this time I'm making sure to reel him in with my leash and take him where I go.

Sometimes big brothers can be annoying. I really didn't want to get wet!

Is Dad home yet?!?!

Belly rub pleeeeease!

Just bein' HANDSOME.

In case you want some more handsome!

Since I usually don't eat things I shouldn't anymore, I've been given a promotion! Box shredder! Woohoo! Now Misha can be lazy while I do all the work.

What do you think of my chipmunk imitation?

It's almost big enough for the both of us!

Ah, and after digging a good mud hole now to sleep in it...er...HE did it! Not me! Really! Just look at his face!

I like my Mom, she gives good hugs!

2009-03-19T16:00:00.002+01:00

Aren't I cute? We had gone on a trip far away from home and I wasn't quite sure of it all, so I had to eat extra amounts of sticks.

I also made Dad go crazy.

And I killed his pricelist. It deserved it.

My stick. Not yours, mine.

I discovered something odd and still don't know what it was, but it made funny noises and Misha thought he should jump in...

No, it's not another stick. Really. It just looks like one.

Hey Misha! Did you finally wake up?!? Bout time!

You know you love me!

Hop on over to Misha's blog to see the rest of the picies!

A Sunday Morning Story

by Extraordinary Bromley

Once upon a Sunday morning I was bored and wanted food. I told Misha about a grand plan to wake Dad up extra early so we could go to the woods as soon as possible. Misha said, "Bromley, you do have your uses sometimes, let's go." And so we fought over who would climb the staircase first. I won.

We jumped on the bed and bounced around. I licked Dad until he woke up. I'm sure he liked it. When he started to complain and fall asleep again I pawed him awake.

Then Misha fell asleep because he's a doofus and forgot all about the grand plan. Yawn! Maybe I got up too early!

But sleeping in on a Sunday morning just wouldn't do, so I started kicking everyone awake again. Misha retreated to the other side of the bed to continue snoring...

...so I focused on Dad...

...and then fell on the floor. The End.

Really quick Sunday morning update before racing through the woods!!!

!MONDAY EDIT: This is what I looked like after racing through the woods later Sunday morning!

Yesterday was super neat. I went to the woods with my big brother and I behaved better than him! HAHA! There was this bad Goldie who was running around with no owner. I bothered her for awhile and then Dad called me and I came like a good boy. Me, GOOD BOY!

See me, Extraordinary Bromley, off leash in the woods! Woohoo!

I can also drink out of a water bottle. AND I got in the car right away while Misha just stood there like an idiot. Mom got mad at him when he sat his butt in the dirt and wouldn't budge. I always get in the car, it means lunch comes sooner!

And I'm also good at leaning for cuddles and usually knocking everything and everyone over while doing it.

I've been so busy! More later!

2009-01-15T14:41:00.002+01:00

Today is my big brother's 3rd birthday. I'm jealous, he got a card in the mail and I didn't!

Anywho, I'm posing pretty darn well. And I can make big scary wolf shadows on the mantle.

Er...until the stupid hat came out. I like antlers, but this thing is just plain stupid!

And ya know, why should I wear a hat when it isn't even my birthday anyway???? Well, I took care of THAT thing.

2009-01-06T13:27:00.004+01:00

Boyohboy, was Christmas vacation fun! First I got to wear antlers and got chicken every time I kept them somewhat on my head. Antlers=chicken=Bromley loves antlers!

I had to pose with Misha for awhile. We were very busy fighting over who looked stupider.

Chrismas morning we get presies! I had not expected this. I got lots of tennis balls, which I hoarded on my bed, and a new nylabone. I'm still working on the bone everyday.

Vacation was also extremely neat cause Dad was home all the time! I love to have Dad around, that's twice as many people to adore and entertain me.

A few days later it got reallly cold and everything froze in the park. I met one of my buddies and we had lots of fun romping around. Misha was such a dork, he just kept sniffing bushes. More play for me!

Lots more picies here!

Wow, my very own blog! This is too cool. Finally, I can do and say and sing and shout anything I want!

But first, a picture. What else?!

Ok, maybe two.

So, these have been portraits of just two things Bromley does best--eating sticks and racing!

I heard this week that we're getting a Christmas tree and I'm supposed to be Dasher and wear antlers. Misha says he's Santa and I have to pull his sled. What is up with that?!

More later!

Is I'm the only one.

Bromleys are wonderful fellahs.

Everyone elses is jealous,
And thats why I repeat...
