Rainy Dog

Several days into the month of December, we received the first big rainfall of the season. Temperatures have dropped, clouds have formed, and our walks with Palmer have become quite soggy! This morning was the first time we pulled out our doggie's raincoat since last winter and I was immediately reminded of how adorably silly Palmer looks. Thanks to Auntie Alyssa and cousin Oreo for the raincoat as last year's Christmas gift.

A few weekends ago, Genessee took some pictures of us around Pasadena. They were mostly of Johnny and me but this morning, she emailed me a preview of this adorable picture of Palmer.

Still a lazy dog...

When we first adopted Palmer, he had a relatively low-energy and slow demeanor. He never barked and never jumped and always seemed to find his way to the corner of the room to sleep. We thought he was just a lazy dog and that was that. Fast forward to today... 2 years after his adoption. We have since learned that his behavior during the first several days at home was really only a transition and that soon enough, his true personality would shine! Today, we know Palmer as happy-go-lucky, silly, cuddly, sweet, mischievous, a food monster, a major lovebug.... all of that... and also still, at times, a very very lazy dog. Here are some pictures to prove it:

I walked into our bedroom the other day and this is what I found. I promise.

Is... he... really... sleeping???

He is knocked out! Take a picture with him!

Head on over!

Yes, yes, its true! We've posted a new entry to our personal blog... head on over. Do you remember the url? And because a post is always better with a picture, here is a picture of the Palmerpie on Thanksgiving morning.

Palmer's 5th Birthday

Palmer turned 5 on September 8 and to show our love for the pup, I baked him a doggie cake and had guests over to celebrate! Menu was pretty simple for the dog... a cake made from dog-friendly ingredients and treats galore. For the guests, it was pizza and sammys to go with the cupcakes Ninang Cher made and Uncle Brandon decorated. Here are some pics of the celebration:

Palmer is such a blessed doggie -- he received so many gifts for his birthday, including one from his newest doggie (girl)friend, Cassie Maniago! I have to say, though, I've never seen him love anything as much as the gift Uncle Brandon gave him -- a rawhide bigger than Palmer's own head!! If we put it away, he will sniff every nook and cranny in the house to find it and if we tell him its bedtime, he'll drag the rawhide with him to bed. Thanks Uncle Brandon, I wuv it!!!
