It is so tough for mommy to leave for work every morning, this is why…
Preston no longer stays in the crate when mommy and daddy are at work, but he still goes into his crate every morning. Mommy leaves the door unlocked and Preston would step out of his crate as soon as mommy leaves.
Preston is turning into a couch potato. Mommy and Daddy were amazed to find him staring at the TV for almost an hour!!
He was very involved when watching TV.
What was he watching? He watched two shows on Animal Planet-a story about a dog named Amy who was rescured by SPCA and Wolverine documentary.
A baby echidna or platypus is called a puggle.
Mommy and Daddy didn’t see a platypus in Australia but they did see echidnas.
The platypus and the echidna are the only two mammals that lay eggs!
The weather is warming up. Preston hit the beach early this year!
Preston does not care for swimming but loves running on the sandy beach.
Beautiful California coast.
On Sunday, Preston went hiking at Windy Hill Open Space Preserve.
“Hey! I can see the summit!”
Racing to the top with Uncle Allen and Daddy
“uhh…Preston? We are not even half-way there.”
Preston made it to the summit! Good job! It was beautiful up there.
Preston is fetching the presents mommy and daddy brought back from Australia.
Kangaroo, wombat and Koala. (Koala baby is called a ” joey”, so is a baby kangaroo).
Mommy and Daddy are back from their vacation!
Uncle Allen and Preston picked them up at the airport. Preston was telling Mommy and Daddy how much he misses them in this video.
Mommy and Daddy are going on a long vacation. Like last year, Uncle Allen will be taking care of Preston while mommy and daddy are away. They already have their evenings together all planned out…
See you in three weeks when mommy and daddy get back! Guess where they are going?
For everyone who misses Preston in the next three weeks, here is Preston’s latest toy fetching video.
He is fetching “little dragon”, “Ice cream cone”, “Gingy”, “Elk”, “Sheep”, “Bettie”,”Sing-sing”, “rope” and “Toss & Shake”.
Warning: the video is 5 minutes long. After all, picking 9 toys from a total of 40 that Preston has is not an easy task! good job, Preston!
Preston used to stay in the crate all day when Mommy and Daddy were at work.
When Mommy and Daddy missed Preston, they could log on the webcam and see what Preston was doing.
Most of the time he slept in his comfy crate.
Waiting for Mommy and Daddy to come home.
Now that Preston is a big boy, he has gotten Mommy and Daddy’s trust. There should not be any more naughty behaviors.
He still sleeps most of the time.
Occasionally he is doing something he is not supposed to be doing.
Mommy left a piece of his favorite salmon strip on the dining table. After Mommy was gone, Preston was trying to decide if he should steal it first and apologize later. He stared at the treat for a long long time. Mommy came home later that day and found the treat was still on the table, untouched. What a good boy Preston is!
