Pictures are worth a thousand words (a piece).

The size of that bone was completely necessary for New Years.

So was this ->

Seuss and Bedtime

So every night, Seuss goes to bed ("nigh nigh" in Seuss parlance) with me. He goes around ten, and sleeps straight through the night.

Unless I stay up late. Like tonight, where I was watching TV, minding my own business... When Seuss came staggering out of the bedroom.

He walks up to me, barks a single time, and starts back to the bedroom. He stops, sees I'm not following, and stumbles back to the couch. One more sharp bark. He watches me, waits for me to get up, and then goes to bed.

He is a demanding bed mate.

Night Time Adventure

In the winter seasons Seuss likes to roll around in the snow, some people say it's because dogs try to mask their scent. I don't believe this theory as I have watched Seuss look way too happy when he finds the perfect spot to roll around in.

Tonight, as any other night, we walked around the dog walk area and I expected him to find a good place to roll before it would be potty time. What I didn't expect was him going over to one of the large plow piles of snow, climbing up partially on it then burying his head completely in the mound with his tail waving furiously in the air. He repeated this a couple times then came up, snorted and while looking amused (yes has an amused expression and body language) then went about his normal business.

Here is a picture of our first snow storm of the season, over a foot of snow and Seuss doubling as a snow plow. :P

Seuss' Huxley

Six years ago when I adopted a seven year old black lab, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. He started out as a sweet, quiet, and mostly obedient dog, with just enough personality to make him cool.

And then he opened up. He began to trust me and love me, and wasn't worried about being abandoned... and that's the time Dina came into his life.

When she suggested a blog, I realized I was destined to be nothing more than a conduit. I'll be the Huxley to Seuss' Darwin.

So here we go.

A blog for Seuss

It seems like everyday Mike and I are laughing over something our American Black Lab, Seuss does that day. So just because he isn't spoiled enough we thought 'Hey why don't we make a blog all about him?'

Well here we are, with a blog appropriately titled 'Necessary!' because we tell him the things he does all the time are completely necessary (like jumping over our large sectional couch if someone is vacuuming or having his very own blanket on an over-sized queen bed).

Here's to you Mr. Seuss.
