Overdue NJ Xmas

These are belated NJ Christmas pics. Huck and Copper the beagle met and have became buddies. They followed each other around and swiped the other's treats. Some of the pics are from October, but cute anyway.

Virginia

Huck did great in the car! It was a long trip. He just sat in the back seat, looking out the window the entire time. He also loved all the rest stops--getting to 'mark' territory all up and down the East coast was very exciting for him!


Now that we're here, Huck and his cousins the Shitzu/poodles, Buddy and Benji are getting along well. Huck has a lot more energy than them and will pester them so they will get angry and chase him. He loves their fenced in yard. Huck also loves having so many humans around to get affection from.
Huck had so much energy that he had to do the treadmill. The weather was bad and Mom was sick so it was 'treadmill trotting time' to burn off all that crazy terrier energy! It was very successful! Huck was asleep by 8 pm instead of his usually 11 or 12!

We went to Virginia Beach for New Year's. Huck and Missy the coon hound met again. Missy seemed to like Huck better than their Thanksgiving meeting when she would 'yell' at him to stop pestering her. Huck LOVED Belle, the pit mix. She is into the wrestling/chasing thing so they are best buds. The Rondorfs have a very cool home. The dogs could run around by the river while their humans chilled in the hot tub. Silly (read: stupid) Huck decided to jump in the pool instead of just drinking from it like the other dogs. He scared Mom to death because he couldn't find the stairs to get back out. Mom thought he was drowning but then he frantically waded back to the stairs as she was yelling and running for the pool to save him. The Rondorfs also had a cat and a little chinese crested, Jax. But I don't think Huck ever realized there was a cat in the house and that Jax even is a dog because he was so enamored with Belle.

I learned why some badbadbad humans use pits for fighting: they are excellent wrestlers. I have never seen a dog so expertly flip and pin Huck. It was very entertaining to watch. Huck just kept coming back for more!

Huck's Magic Box

I don't know about you two, but I'm ready to go.








Are we there yet?












We're getting ready for our big road trip up the East coast. This will be our first trip with Huck--10 hours in the car! We took Huck's crate out of the car so we could pack up. Huck jumped right in! He associates his crate with the park or somewhere else exciting. When I get in my crate, it takes me fun places!

If anyone has any tips for road tripping with a high energy pooch, please share!
We can't wait to go home, especially to have Huck come too and meet all his canine "cousins": Copper (my family's beagle) and Buddy & Benji (Tyler's family's Shitzu/Poodles). We are confident Huck will love (i.e. chase, wrestle, pester) everyone, but will everyone love Huck? We shall see!!!

Baby Coco

How cute are Coco's PJs? Tyler said I can't buy any for Huck though. Huck would probably eat them anyway.





























Huck loves his Aunt Caylin!

The Many Faces of Huck

Why does my mom keep shoving this camera in my face? I'll do my best to smile really big.

Sweet Dreams

I would love to see what Huck dreams about...

Cuddly Boys

This is me cuddling with my dad. They left me alone on Sunday. Something about an anniversary. I was so happy when they came back and cuddled me.

More funny dogs

had to share

Huck loves him some Coco!

I think these pics are just TOO CUTE. Huck and Coco weren't in a wrestling mood today. They were on 'patrol duty'. Nicole (Coco's mom) and I could not figure out what they were scouting.



























It's a big world for little Coco.














"Mom, why can't I run free like Coco? I promise I won't go eat goose poop and swim in the pond."

Christmas Decorating

We did some simple decorating to help us feel more festive. (It was 70 degrees today!) Tyler and Huck tried to weasel out of the decorating!

Working hard?













Nope, hardly working.

Jekyll & Hyde

We have been trying to get photos of Huck's multiple personalities. He goes from being super sweet to looking like some creature from The Exorcist. Finally we have documented proof of his demon possession.
