Da Vinci's Christmas

 This is me and Da Vinci. 

We are excited about Christmas. 

The True Loves gave us a gift card to PETCO. 

My dad took me to pick out some fun toys for my dog. 

My mom helped me wrap his presents.

I think he liked trying to get the paper off. 

The plastic ball did not last very long. 

It was fun to watch him play. 

Santa got him some chew treats too. 

My dog had a good Christmas.

Ruff ruff Christmas.

A Trip to Arctic Circle

Me and my family went to Arctic Circle. 

They gave me a doggy treat for my dog. 

It was awesome.

Now he wants to go with us every time we go....  

ruff you later. 

A word from my mom.

The reason for our family outing to Arctic Circle, is so that Noah can get a brown topper. A brown topper is a soft ice cream cone dipped in a coat of chocolate that hardens. The routine is the same. The woman at the window will hand the ice cream off to Noah's father, Rick. He will then hand the cone to Noah. Da Vinci's eyes will remain fixated on that cone. He will snap his mouth between each transfer hoping for a taste of the "human's treats." Noah and Rick are always very careful. Tonight though, the pattern changed. The girl at the window was observing Da Vinci's smacking lips and asked, "Does your dog want an ice cream cone?" She already knew the answer to her question...she was just asking for our permission. Over to the ice cream machine she went. Clearly she had been aware of Da Vinci's size for the mountain of ice cream she had put on that cone.  She handed the cone over to Noah's dad. He paused as if to warn her not to blink as he said, "watch this..."  Now all our eyes were fixated on Da Vinci and that ice cream cone. As soon as Rick exclaimed, "okay!" Da Vinci snarffed that huge cone in one bite... We're not sure there was even a bite. It just disappeared. We did not know if he even tasted the flavor of the ice cream before he swallowed it. That massive swirl of vanilla ice cream atop a cone was devoured in microseconds. He licked his lips and waited...for praise...for another cone. We laughed instead. MMMMMmmmmm....I wonder, "Do dogs get a brain freeze?"

Sugar Coated

My mom fixed me waffles. 

I like to eat the with powdered sugar. 

I ate the waffles and Da Vinci wanted 

some too but he could not have any. 

Da Vinci grabbed the other frozen waffles 

by the toaster. 

He ran to his kennel because 

he was in trouble and he knew it. 

We were just about to leave 

when my mom noticed 

white footprints everywhere. 

They were dog prints. 

We followed the prints to the kennel. 

Da Vinci was covered in sugar

 and it was all over his kennel.

 I didn't even know he liked sugar. 

Now he is a sticky mess.

Pumpkin Dog

One year for Halloween, I went to the pumpkin patch. 

There were lost of orange pumpkins 

and I was surprised to see a white one. 

I thought I would get this pumpkin for Da Vinci. 

I painted it to look like my dog.

I'm the Dog

RUFF RUFF RUFF.

I'm Da Vinci. 

Maybe, I thought my brother Noah said I might get to go to his class for show and tell.

Maybe in 2 more weeks or so. I <3 <3 < 3<3 <3 my friend Noah and this picture is Noah on his death machine.

Well, I think it is either the death machine or a ripstick. Do you know what it is? 

Noah is going to be at school tomorrow. Can you ask him what it is? 

Noah wants to have a party and I'm going to bark at them. 

I'll RUFF YOU LATER.

Water the Dog?

Sometimes I like to tease my dog. 

It is really just playing. 

I was squirting Davinci with my squirt gun. 

He did not like it when it got on him

and so he would shake his head, 

but he was thirsty and so he tried to catch it in his mouth. 

I thought it was very funny. 

My mom tried to film it on her camera.

One Blue, One Brown

This is Da Vinci has a blue eye and the other one is brown... B.R.O.W.N.  His two different color eyes make him unique. He has dark black circles that make him look like he has a mask. We almost called him Bandit.

Growing Fast

Ahhhhhh, look at that face... 

you can't stay mad at that face. 

This face didn't look like this for long.

He grew very fast so we do not have very many puppy pictures.

Soooooooo Small

Great Danes are so cute,especially when they are just born. 

I can hardly believe my dog was ever this tiny. 

I love my dog. I just really love him.

Puppy Ears

When I got Davinci he had floppy ears and Great Danes have pointed 

up ears, so he had surgery. I miss the floppy ears.

Meet My Dog...The Count

My Great Dane is a Harlequin
(black and white)
He does have a few gray spots.

 He is big.
He has a huge kennel. I can even fit in it!

 His name is Count Davinci(hy) des'Amboise. 

i am going to blog funny things about my dog.

 Good bye for now.

Happy "BARK"day

 Da Vinci's birthday is October 31, 2006.
Maybe that is why he is black and white
and  is scary to my friends.

Da Vinci is a Great Dane and he is my best friend. 

I have more stories, but I'll do them another day. 

See you later.

So happy "bark"day.

I hope you like your own Angry Birds toy.
