Sit.

Time for TUG!

Actually, it's ALWAYS time for tug when you're with Orvis.

Playtime out back

Typical Day Over Orvis's Christmas Vacation

Happiness

Happy Birthday Orvis!

Orvis gets a pre-birthday smooch from his new pal, Hank.

Merry Christmas!

Peeking

Typical Night at Grandma's

Another Lazy Day

Confused?

Orvis knows he's not allowed on the furniture... maybe he's wondering why I'm standing on our chair!

Fetch in the Snow

A Mellow Afternoon

Threatening

When Orvis has a bone in his mouth he likes to get in your face and "talk smack!"

Slightly Annoyed

Orvis has to get sick of me taking pictures of him all of the time, right?

Yum

Orvis looks like I do when I'm trying to catch snow in my mouth!

Pooped!

Pig Face

We think Orvis looks like a pig when he does this.

Jump! Jump! Jump for Snow!

Probably Begging

First Snow Portrait

Martha Stewart

Orvis is pretty excited to test out the new Kitchenaid!

Happy Birthday "Grandma!"

Planning this post, I had grandiose dreams of a calm Orvis, donning a nice birthday bow, holding a party squeaker in his mouth, surrounded by balloons... What was I thinking? Did I not remember my dog is crazy and would never let this happen?!

This was our hilarious attempt at creating a celebratory post for my mother -one of Orvis's favorite people in the world!- in honor of her birthday.

How miserable does he look?

To make up for being the worst parents in the world, we let Orvis help pop the balloons!

First Snow!

Helping in the Kitchen

Always Waiting

Orvis is always waiting for us to play with him!

Chewing

Pretty Sit

Clearly, he wants something . . .

Hangin' Out on the Stairs

The Longest

Orvis has quite a love for finding long sticks on our walks and chewing them. This one might be the longest of them all . . .

Double Take

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Like Father, Like Son

The Feast

What Orvis wanted for Thanksgiving . . .


What Orvis ended up getting . . .


(We really wanted to give him some Turkey and all of the other Thanksgiving goodies, but he has some pretty crazy food allergies, so sweet potatoes it was! He was just excited about eating an extra meal that day!)

Have Some Pumpkin With Your Pie!

Orvis is excited about the pumpkin pie!

Daisy

Focused

a bit feminine

We always get a good chuckle when Orvis crosses his legs or stands like a ballerina... 

Look-Alike

This guy looks like Orvis, but his name is Cooper, who loves playing with his best friend, Daisy!

Tug

Rolling in the Leaves

Nap Time

Chewing

Orvis carried this stick for nearly a mile on the way back from the CELT trails.

Wolfe's Neck State Park

Nemo

This week's guest appearance is Nemo, a five year-old Australian Shepherd I had the pleasure of photographing last week. I'm totally in love with Nemo's eyes!

Crazy Dog

Ball

Mason, attempting to shred my soccer ball to pieces.
