when pouncey is hungry, he goes and hangs out by himself next to his bowl. and generally tries to look as pathetic and tiny as possible. this strategy is effective.

a journey of a thousand miles

...begins with a single pounce. 

he wants to follow his big brothers, but pouncey is still too leeeetle. so he stands on the edge of the river and barks at them like a little punk.

swimsuit tragedy

my sweet friend gave me this incredible 70's swimsuit for my birthday.

like a complete idiot, i put it in the microwave for 60 seconds to try and kill any germs one might find in a second-hand swimsuit.

before the 60 seconds were up, an awful burning rubber smell filled the room.

swimsuit = destroyed. stuck together, giant holes, toxic mess.

moral: soap and water will kill germs, you don't have to nuclear radiate them.

hey everybody!

it's me! pounceydoggy!

that little skunk fits right in here

pouncey plays with

penn 4 tennis balls

so many sticks

so much time

eli & pouncey vs a tree trunk

once upon a time, eli found a stick.

this stick was the size of a tree trunk, and eli was happy.

pouncey saw eli chewing the tree trunk and thought, "hey, that  looks like fun."

so he pounced over to watch eli and see how it's done.

pouncey said, "yee haw! we're gonna chew this tree trunk right up!"

he took a little bite and he liked it.

and that's how pouncey learned how to chew up a tree trunk.

the end!

say hello pouncey

hello pouncey!

no puppies were hurt in the making of this photograph

all's well in pouncey town.

he's learning very quickly. he's not afraid to jump off things. or chew things. we fenced part of the yard so they can go in and out on their own.

eli's face says it all here.

and here

pouncey plays with balls and eats sticks and leaves.

nacho thinks something is funny.

naptime!

RIP buddy

buddy and pouncey

got some sad news yesterday amidst all the hilarious daily puppy comments ("OMG pouncey, you are adorable as f$%k. I want to make you chili by a campfire and share marshmellows lady and the tramp style. If I am ever in carolina I will steal you and rub you all over my face!" and "Awesome darling! I love you! my tight hug for you!" being my favorites) that buddy, pouncey's father, passed away sunday night.

With a sad heart, we said good bye to Buddy. He passed peacefully during the night. His last day was a good one...a ride in the truck with Blizzard and the rest of the day watching us plant flowers around the campground. All the while being showered with hugs and kisses. For those who knew him personally could you share some of your happy times with us so we can celebrate his life as we mourn our loss. God bless you Buddy...always in our hearts ♥

he was old and rickety, they said he'd been hit by a car twice. but when we met him last week he was still chasing balls through the grassy valley and hopping into pickup trucks. he was so mellow and gentle. and so handsome.

pouncey looks just like him and i think will have his same velvety coat.

rest in peace buddy! great job making people smile and making awesome puppies!

here's pouncey's mom, blizzard:

 

talk about a sweet animal. she is older too - 8 or 9 - and the same color and size as nacho. which is probably why pouncey keeps looking for nacho's teats!
