“Okay…Okay…Preston, Daddy and Mommy promise we will never give away your puppy bed”

Preston got a surprise email from his brother, Brodie, who lives in the Sacramento area with his family.

See the resemblance? How handsome they both are!
Here is a puppy portrait Chelle took before the boys each went to their new home. Brodie is on the right, Preston is in the center and the one on the left is Snoopy. Where are you, Snoopy??

Preston also has a sister named Chloe, who looked just like Preston when they were little.

Happy 4th of July!

Preston went biking with Daddy and Mommy. Just as he was enjoying the ride, Daddy got a flat tire. Luckily, Uncle Allen came to the rescue.

Since the biking trip was cut short, Preston went swimming instead.

Today is Daddy and Mommy’s 2nd wedding anniversary. Daddy got a perfect card for Mommy.

Daddy and Mommy went for a bike ride today and Preston got to tag along because he got his own bike trailer!

Daddy and Mommy had to break the sad news to Preston this weekend. The white bump on his tongue turns out to be a “puppy wart” (Canine Oral Papillomavirus). He must have gotten it when visiting the dog park. It is highly contagious so he has to be on quarantine until the wart goes away. This means no dog park and no playing with neighbors for few weeks, or possibly months!!! Poor thing…

09/26/2007 Update: Surgery day

When Presotn goes into his crate on command, he always “insists” on being rewarded with one of his favorites treats, dehydrated chicken strips. The warning on the package says “not for human consumption” got Mommy worried so Mommy made her own chicken treats that were good for both humans and Preston.

Dehydrated Chicken Strips
Ingredients:
Boneless skinless chicken breast
Directions:
1. Cut chicken breast into thin strips/pieces; the thinner, the better.
2. Cook chicken strips in a pan on medium heat until water starts coming out.
3. Remove chicken from pan and pat dry.
4. Place the cooked chicken strips on a foil covered cookie sheet.
5. Set the oven at 200F. Bake the chicken in the oven for 3-4 hour, flip every hour.
6. Dehydrated chicken can be stored at room temp.

It is toy fetching time again!
Preton got six new toys to fetch by their names. He almost had a blooper this time.

“arrrggg… no one is taking my donut bone frome me!”
Just kidding! Preston’s lip got caught on his underbite again!

Preston went for a morning walk with mommy in Bayfront Park, Menlo Park. There were so many ground squirrels that Preston didn’t know which one to chase after first.



“What are those little furry things running around?”

Squirrels!
