Happy 1st Birthday

Yup 1 year ago me and my 2 sisters arrived at the Nozomi Farm in Derry, NH. Zen, Zelda and I, first known as Miss Moneypenny, M and Q. Our parents are Bella and Westly. I do get to see my sister Zen when mom and I go to agility competitions and I also get to see the rest of my family too.

First picture is of me at 6 weeks and the second picture is of me today at mom's office.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Congrates To Aunt AElz

Congratulations to Grandma Hutchins and Aunt AElz on their C-ATCH. Mom was running behind in her schedule so we missed it. Bummer. Grandma told mom Aunt AElz is the first Norfolk Terrier female to get her C-ATCH on the East Coast. YUPPY. Now I have a lot to live up too with Aunt Aelz and everyone getting their C-ATCHs.

We are getting more of the white stuff tonight until tomorrow morning. Might go and see the Laconia Sled Dog Championships tomorrow after snow blowing.


Well off to take my afternoon nap with Cuffs and Trixie. Hope everyone has a good week ahead and stay warm.

Depressing

Yup it is a sad week for us Patriot fans. If you have not heard they lost to the New York Giants on Sunday.

I have figured out how to get into mom's room. I can jump over the baby gate that is locked at the door. See if the gate is just leaning on the door I will not go over, it will scare me. But if the gate is locked I can stand by the gate and jump over. I have fun with mom. See one day she was shoveling snow and when she came in she called me and I did not come. So she came and found me in my bed in the bedroom. I was sleeping.

We are taking obeidence classes. I am doing OK but when the next class comes in I like to see who is there instead of listening to mom. So I get into trouble. We got 3 more weeks and then onto Rally, Maybe.

Everyone stay warm and have a good weekend.

Skiing and Super Bowl

Mom and Lynn took me cross country skiing last weekend up at Bear Notch Ski center. I had a blast running in the snow and meeting new people. I was a good boy and tried to stay in the tracks but I did have to go and sniff the trees and bushes. At the end of the day I slept.

This weekend is mom's birthday and the 42nd Super Bowl. So no skiing this weekend. Mom does have to work this weekend but not during the Super Bowl.

GO NE PATRIOTS

THEY DID IT, 18 &0

New England Patriots have made it 18 and 0 season. Moving onto the Super Bowl against the New York Giants and Eli Manning. When mom found out they won she danced all over with me. I need to get myself a Patriots shirt now and wear it for the game. There will be fireworks going off when they win the Super Bowl.

That is it for right now. Hope everyone has a good week.

SuperBowl Birthday AGAIN

Mom just found out yesterday her birthday is on Super Bowl Sunday again this year. Hopefully the New England Patriots make it this year. See the last time the Super Bowl was on Mom's birthday the Patriots won. So everyone keep their figures crossed that the Patriots go on to the Super Bowl.

Well we hope everyone has a good weekend and watch those Patriots beat the Chargers. We will now by late Sunday night who is moving on.

GO NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
