Mystery Guest

Wow sounds intriguing does it not? Well it was a pleasant suprise for Farmor and Farfar this morning as I brought my little brother Saxon and Mom Kristi to breakfast at Farmors house. From the picture you can tell they are both happy to be there.
Coffee for mom and a plastic spoon for Saxon he doesn't eat much solid food yet. I had my milk and organic blueberry toaster pastry. Farmor and Farfar had coffee and English muffins.
It was a fun visit but mom and Saxon soon had to go and I started my regular day of entertaining the dogs and the grandparents.... Little "G"

Wound Up

Today I'm all wound up in my work. You see part of my daily tasks is to help train and exercise the dogs. As you can see from the picture I really get wound up in my assignment. This is part of the training process and I do lots of running during the exercise portion.
A nice lady who we see walking her poodles was very impressed on the control I have over the dogs and how well they play with me. She watched as we enjoyed our carrots and some dog cookies. It's amazing how well the dogs focus on food treats. Ricki didn't even pay any attention to the poodle and thats not his normal reaction to seeing other dogs.
Its Tuesday so we saw the garbage collector come in his big truck to pick up the trash. He is always very nice and waves to me. I like the great noises that the truck makes as it crushes the trash.......... Little "G"

You Might Think

You might think that this picture is about my fresh haircut. But no it isn't I was playing in the backyard with the dogs and my spray bottle of water. Well I got as much water on myself as I did on the dogs. If you click on the picture you will be able to see some water rolling down my face.
Farfar says he likes the picture because I'm something he calls photogenic. Photo what? Farmor said he is just a beautiful child. I'm not sure which one is right I'm just out there having fun.

Decisions - Decisions

They are hard to make so this is the way I make them, at least as it goes for Popsicles. I go to the freezer and get the box. I place the box very carefully on the floor and then I study the pictures on the box. I have to choose between many colors and shapes. Once I decide on which color I want then I have to remember what flavor goes with that color. Do I want that combination or would some other combination suit me better?
Sounds exhausting doesn't it! Well I'm not done yet I have to open the box and go through the contents to find the one I have chosen. Then I remove it from the box, close the box back up and put it back in the freezer.
The next part of the process is to have Farmor or Farfar cut open the wrapper so that I can remove it and consume it. So as you can see there are lots of decisions to make.... Little "G"

Little Cars

I know I have been infatuated with big cars lately but here I am with my little popper car on Farmors dining room table. You may note that her nice table cloth has been removed and replaced by her felt one. I wonder why? I told her that the table cloth was alright with me but she insisted on changing it. Oh well the felt cloth works real well for my car.
We went by Roberts of Portola Valley today and I got to watch the forklift and cement truck doing their thing. They made some really neat noises and the operators waved to me. I think they like it when people appreciate their work.... Little "G"

Nap Time

Everyone knows what I do at nap time but what about the dogs? Thats right they nap too so that they can be re-energized just like that famous bunny. They look very peaceful don't they, but that can change as soon as I wake up they come running into my room to greet me. They are always so happy to see that I'm awake so we can go out and play.
I forgot my shoes today so Farmor had to think what can we do so I could go out and play. Rain boots thats the answer and off we went on our walk. Here is a short picture video of No Shoes Action....... Little "G"

Backyard Fun

High everyone its Monday and a little chilly and windy here in the valley. In todays picture you see me and my own innovative hairdo. Don't laugh it works I can see my videos in a whole new light.
Things to watch for in todays video are. How fast I can run and the amazing ability I have to stay on my feet as the dogs jockey to get my treats. Watch me fall down while still retaining my dog cookie. Will I make my get away?
In the water feature you might notice that the dogs like biting at the water but they never bite my hands so I can just laugh and giggle at their antics. Yes I do get a little wet but thats more than half the fun... Little "G"

Like-a-Yogurt

Hi the weekend is almost upon us and it is a wonderfully warm day here in the valley. I had lots of outside fun but todays picture is inside with me and my Like-a-Bike. I'm really getting the hang of it and it wont be long before I take it outside for a real shake down.
Here is a poorly lit and grainy video of me sorting out my yogurt treats. Oh sorry for the poor quality but we thought you might enjoy it anyway..... Little "G"

Shady Trail & Fortune Cookie

Today we went on a new trail on our walk. We put the dogs in the Bucket and and headed over to Shady Trail. The trail meanders alongside the creek and is a very neat place to run and explore. After I got tired of running I hopped on Farfar's shoulders and off we went up and down the trail. I think that Farfar got a really good workout today and I got a birds eye view of the trail.
You say what about the fortune cookie. Well after our walk we picked up some Chinese food and thats where I got the fortune cookie. I don't understand why Farmor and Farfar got such a kick out of my fortune. It said I need to be more assertive what ever that means. They laughed and laughed at that....... Little "G"

Handsome

Thats what Farmor and Farfar said and here is one of the pictures from today to prove it. Let me tell you about Monday oh I had a interesting day. I got to help the pool man with his duties.
We swept the pool with a brush on a long pole and scooped out a bunch of leaves and stuff. We then pulled up the pool sweep and cleaned out the debris bag that's collects the leaves and stuff from the bottom of the pool.
Then came the most fun part we used the hose with a spray nozzle to clean out the debris bag. I only got a little wet Then I helped close the pool cover its real neat how it covers up the water.
Of course we went on our walk and visited our usual friends spreading dog cookies and carrots to all our friends. I ran and played at Joe's and visited the creek off of Georgia Lane.
It's time for a nap now so bye-bye for now........ Little "G"

One Year Later

Hi everyone tomorrow will mark one year and 190 blog posts for Little "G" Life After One. It has been an exciting year for Farfar and me as we have put a lot of time and energy into the blog. We know that Mom and Auntie Lynne get a kick out of reading about my exploits.
So here is whats up Farfar and I are now contemplating changes to the blog and how often I post to it. Under consideration is continue on in the form we are now publishing or post weekly, post only on special occasions or events or discontinuing the blog all together.
If you have any suggestions or feelings on the matter please use the comment section to voice your opinion. Have a wonderful weekend and I will let you know what my decision is sometime in the next few weeks......... Little "G"

Slippery Soap

Slippery soap whats that? After our walk and having played outside, feeding the dogs carrots and other goodies ones hands gets a might dirty. When we get home one of the first things Farfar and I do is go into the garage bathroom and wash our hands. You cant believe how much fun it is to splash in the water and try to corral that slippery soap. Enjoy the video:

It's a Beautiful Picture

Today was actually errand day. We revved up the Bucket loaded the dogs up and of we went to Menlo Park and then to Woodside. Yes we had to still take our walk and the dogs and I really enjoyed getting out and stretching our legs in Woodside.
All that exercise sure makes one hungry. We got home just before noon and I had a hot dog and two types of noodles for my main dish. Farmor couldn't believe that I ate the whole hot dog, but she didn't know how hungry I was. For dessert I had some yogurt and a tea cookie. Actually I shared the tea cookie with Dolly our parrot. I sucked the powdered sugar off and she had the hard part of the cookie, Yum Yum.
You say what about that beautiful picture well its actually lots of pictures and is a hint of the musical accompaniment so enough said here is the video:

Dr. "G" Veterinarian

Thats right I have been practicing my examination techniques on Nika and here is a video to show you how I'm doing.


Farfar wanted to let you know that I washed my hands after doing the examination of Nika. I'm getting the drift on how to handle that tricky slippery soap. The only thing that I'm doing that needs watching is that I like to turn the water up to hot. That could be a real ouch! Of course I do tend to get water in unwanted place but what do you expect from a 2 year old?
Little "G" signing off.........

April Fools

April Fools Day I've been wondering whats that all about. So I had to think real hard before even opening my computer today. Yes I needed a power snack so here it is Sun Maid Raisins. It may look a little like a commercial but its not.
I'm not sure if Farfar enjoyed seeing me use the computer as a table but it does work real well to separate the raisins. I can't say that having the snack helped me figure out what the heck this day is about. So I guess you will have to make your own conclusions about this day as even thou I'm a bright savvy and incredibly good looking two year old I don't know everything.
