Long time, no see

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of weeks.  I've been busy with other things. Even Bruce looks pretty disappointed in this picture, lol.  Hopefully I will have a new regular post soon! 

New Ball!

Bruce got a new toy!  It's a squeaky tennis ball.  Bruce LOVES anything that sqeaks.

Can't you see the excitement?  It's overwhelming.

Notice the scratch?  I came home from work the other day and there it was. I'm not sure who he made angry but I'm guessing it was probably one of the cats.  Sometimes he tries to hump them. *see above

Anyway, back to the ball...

So much joy!  Bruce really needs to calm down, don't you think? :)

Well, at least we know someone is excited about it.

What was Bruce thinking?

I'm going to start a contest each week where someone decides "what as Bruce thinking?".  Leave a comment and I will draw a winner at random.  Prizes will change each week. This weeks prize is a Bruce magnet!  Winner announced Sunday evening. :)

Do you think Bruce knows just how cute he is?

I do.

He swims!

And he's off!

Look at the little man go!

He is a pro


Although sometimes he has trouble keeping that cute little butt up.

But come on, what other dog do you know that can swim with his eyes closed?

Nothing better after a hard swim than a little trancing. Bruce does this after every swim. It doesn't matter if he even just swam a foot. He goes into this trance like state and it is very funny to watch. It can last anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes. He has always done it, even when he was a puppy. I'm not really sure what it's about but he seems to enjoy it.



On another note..

For a minute I thought Anna was actually enjoying the water. I almost got really excited about it because Anna HATES to get wet. I usually carry her but it's hot and the creek is low so I let her wade across to cool off. Anyway, I was wrong. I should have translated this look as "i'm cute, pick me up!" because...

This is a definite "oh shit" expression.

Hump Day

I know it's not Wednesday, but that isn't what this blog post is about. Bruce and Hope have an ongoing battle for dominance. When I say on going I mean daily. It can be quite humorous to watch sometimes, especially yesterday evening.

Don't you just hate when you are sitting there looking cute with your toy...

And your sister comes out of no where to hump and steal your toy?

She means serious business, she even humps your head!

I can only imagine Anna is saying "wtf".

This is what all the drama is about? (Anna is not a fan of toys)

So if you are wondering who won the battle of the toy well I'm not really sure since they both just gave up and did something else. But I can tell you who the real loser was...

Wendell.

Wore out

I spent the morning cleaning, doing laundry and trying to vacuum all the dog hair (why do I even bother?). Well, let me tell you, it's been pretty hard on the Bruceman. He had to follow me from room to room supervising my progress and missed out on his morning nap. Poor guy.

Welcome to the Bruceman's blog!

I thought it would be fun to start out with some pictures of Bruce from back in the day!

It's funny to think how Katie and Bruce are inseparable these days. It took Katie forever to warm up to Bruce. He always wanted to snuggle with her but she wouldn't have it.

He was a born athlete. :)

Bruce was really an adorable puppy but I prefer him as an adult. I think he is so handsome and just gets better with age.

He has always been a master of the head tilt.
