Happy Article

Hi all!
Dob and I are settled in to our new home and I've just been lazy about getting back into blogging :) I just happened across this article, though, and knew I had to share it!

I still hope to be back in the swing of things soon :)

The New House

Well, it has been a busy week! Dobby and I are all moved in to the new house, and I dropped off my key at the old place earlier today. So it's official: we've moved! Here is Dobby checking out his new place before we got all the furniture and stuff in:


And here is his new favorite spot in the living room: a seat with a view!



We'll be back again soon with more pictures :)

New News!

Alright, I'm still here! (Sort of!) Our most recent news is that my beautiful little bungalow just sold. So Dobby and I are moving this week! It will be a little crazy for a while, I admit, but I fully intend to post at least once in a while :)

I have been in this house for 4 years, and it is the only house Dobby has ever lived in with me (3 years). I hope he adjusts well to the move! Here are some pictures of Dobby enjoying our house... in memory of all the good years spent here.

Dobby loves the deck:



Dobby loves the dining room sun-spot:


Dobby loves the comfy, cozy living room:


Dobby loves the fire place:


Dobby REALLY loves the deck...



Here's Dobby the very first time I brought him home, to this house:


He was so skinny! That was also before we remodeled the kitchen.

Goodbye, house. We will miss you!

Old News

Hi everyone! So I'd like to explain two factors that have kept me from Dobby's blog. My computer is broken again so I'm using my friend's computer again. It just limits my ability to save and access old pictures. I've also been back and forth between MD and NC all summer which makes organizing my thoughts a little more complicated. I'm still hoping to get back into blogging regularly, but wanted to start with some old news :)

In March, I made a trip up to MD to visit my parents and on the way back down I was asked to do a dog transport! Here is the little fuzzy girl I took from northern VA down to NC:

What do you think: is she a Pomeranian? She barked for about 2 hours in the car, but Dobby was a little angel as usual- I am continually impressed by how well he goes with the flow- he just completely ignored her.

Some other old pictures of Dob, from March. Enjoy :)






Ok, back again soon with more!!

Oh My Goodness!

Well! Coco's comment on my last post has brought me back to reality. I have been busy but there is just no excuse for being away from Dobby's blog for so long!! I fully intend to be back in the real swing of things within a week. I miss you all!!

Busy, busy, busy

It's crazy season at school again, and I've been neglecting Dobby's blog! I have been trying to keep up on all your blogs though. Here's just a little something until I have more time to post :)

Dobby trying to get tall....

....and snug as a bug

Just a few more cold-weather memories

Just a few more pictures of Dobby enjoying the heater vents before spring arrived! Today is rainy and cold.. I'm sure if Dob wasn't here snuggled with me, he'd be by a heater vent again :)

Goodbye, Winter!

Before it gets too warm, I just have to share this video with you... Dobby searching for heat! If I ever lose track of him in the house, he can usually be found hovering near a heater vent :)



This was taken in January... forgive the lingering Christmas tree you can see :) Lately, though, the weather has been warm and sunny! We have been hanging around outside and going for long walks. Hope you're all getting some Spring time, too!

Sorry!

I have been really lazy about updating for Dobby lately- sorry! Hopefully soon I will get back in the swing of things :)

Finally!

Dobby is pretty embarrassed that it has taken him so long to write something for Princess Coco. He's been trying to think of something good for a while. At last, he finished writing to her today- we hope she likes it!

(Sorry for the delay, school work has been piling up for me :) )

Dobby got mail!

Dobby got mail from his favorite little lady, Princess Coco. It was a huuuuge card in a pretty red envelope:

I helped Dob open it, and inside was a singing card! There was also a very long letter inside the card. Coco has beautiful, feminine hand writing and Dobby was excited to smell his sweetheart's perfume on the card.

It was a very important message, and Dobby immediately begged me to help him send a reply!

(Mom we have to write back to Coco right away!!)

Coco also included a little magnet for Dobby so that he can look at her beautiful picture whenever he wants. I put it nice and low on the fridge so he could see it :)

So now I have to help him send a reply! Stay tuned :)

Dobby's date

Dobby said he had a lovely time with his Princess Coco. He got home very late last night... so he is just sleeping all day today! You really wore him out, Coco ;)

Dobby gets ready for his date!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Dobby is thrilled to have Princess Coco for his Valentine again this year. I am such a proud mom- she is a real catch! I helped Dobby get ready for his big date:







(Sorry I am new to the video thing.. not sure why my camera split these up!)

Hope you all enjoy your day!

A Date with a Princess?

Will you please go on a date with me tomorrow for Valentine's day?


Love always,
Your Prince Dobby

Dobby's Valentine

Princess Coco, who was Dobby's Valentine last year, has asked him to be her Valentine again this year! Dobby is thrilled to say 'YES'! Princess Coco is so beautiful, Dobby cannot resist her charms :)


Dobby is a big fan of love, and we wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day this weekend!

Snow Day!!

Hi everyone! The great news is that a friend has loaned me her old laptop to use while mine is broken. So we're back! Now I will just have to spend all afternoon catching up on all your wonderful blogs :)

We are snowed in here in NC. Things are starting to melt today, but Friday night and yesterday morning, we got about 9 inches of snow! Dob has really hated it (as you could have guessed) because he hates going out to potty in the cold. Today, though, we were both getting a little stir-crazy to get out of the house, so I decided we should try to go for a walk. It was a huge success, and Dobby actually had a good time! I think he was just really glad to have some exercise.


First we had to get all bundled up! Dob was not thrilled.


Then we headed out into the snow. Thank goodness he is light enough he could just walk on top of it; it was deeper than he is tall!




Too cute: Dobby with his pawprints :)


And Dobbyprints with bird prints!


I even took some videos :) All of these are with my new camera! (My old camera took really awful quality videos... maybe we will have more to upload now that I have a new one!)




Yay new camera, borrowed laptop, and snow days!

More computer troubles!

The computer has gotten to the point of no return and will be wiped sometime in the next week or so... luckily I have everything backed up and won't lose much. In the meantime, I won't be able to post- so here is a little something to tide us over until I can return! (Zinnie is visiting this week!)





We'll be back as soon as possible :)

Computer Troubles :( ...but New Camera :)

Hi all! My computer is in the shop for repairs, so updating might be sporadic the next week or so. I did get a memory stick for my new camera though, so I should have some good pictures to post by the time I get my computer back! For now, here are a few older ones.

I love that little tail peaking out!
What a silly goose. He gets comfortable in the funniest positions.

The Holidays, Continued!

Just a few more things I thought I'd share from Christmas :) I got a new camera but no memory card yet, so I didn't take many pictures at home in MD. Dobby enjoyed spending time with Gracie of course, and we had a great time relaxing with family.

Now we are back in NC! I was excited to come home to so many Christmas cards- thanks everyone :) Here is our card tree:


Now we're just looking forward to New Year celebrations!
