walking zombie

i am a walking zombie.
ollie used to be so good and sleep through the night.
now, he's waking up all the time and barking his heart out.
it's gotten so bad that now it's every 2 hours!
i can't sleep. nolan is getting pissed.....

help!

nine months two days.

Ollie is 9 months and 2 days old today! I can't believe i've had him since april!

So Ollie's first Halloween was....an experience. He had 3 costumes...one i bought for $7, one was handed down to him, and one was an omiyage from korea.

First up is ollie-bee! my mom brought this shirt back from korea, it has a hood too. it's super cute and he likes wearing this one.

then there was, Ollie Cullen-Salvatore! This was his $7 vampire costume i found that was way too big. we tried to alter it to fit him, but it didn't come out so great and the fit was still too big. he didn't really enjoy this one.

Then comes fireman ollie! His friend spunky was too big for this costume so passed it on to ollie, and it was a perfect fit! this was his trick or treat costume!

Ollie barked up a storm at my sister's house---pretty embarassing.
i think he just wanted to play with bula, but bula only wanted to sniff his butt. ollie didn't appreciate the excessive butt sniffing and decided to just sit down.

Hope you all had a great halloweenie!

Happy Halloween!!!

Ollie would like to wish you a very happy halloween weekend!
He has 3 costumes to wear...

This was an unexpected gift from his grandma who brought it back from Korea...

OLLIE BEE!
buzz! buzz!

red bull dog!

WHAT IS GOING ON?!!?

the past few days ollie has been super hyper...the past 2 nights he's woken up in the middle of the night (which he hasn't done since he first moved to the new apartment).
at work he's been really good (surprisingly since it's been a week with no grandma playing with him all day)...but as soon as he gets home he's needy and in constant need of attention. he's also flipping over his water bowl all the time and when he gets into the bathroom, he claws at the TP on the side of the toilet and chews up the bath mat...grrrr!

-is it the fact that he's good all day, so when he gets home he wants attention?

-does he need more exercise?---i take him walking on the roof deck at work and i run him around right before dinner...how much exercise does a little guy need?

-is it the full moon? he is a little werewolf, after all...

more toys!!!

ollie is accumulating a large amount of toys!

one of my co-workers came home from a trip and brought him back this rope/ball pully toy:

he loves it.
and here's the shirt that grandma and grandpa brought back for him from alaska that he couldn't wear until now. (conehead, remember?)
it says "pack leader Alaska"

ollie has a big day today, his "cousin" chase is coming to visit him!

you've got mail!

Ollie recieved his first piece of mail last week!
i actually think that he may have gotten mail before i did....that's kinda embarrassing, no?

His friends Karlee & Kooper sent him a card and picture they had taken at petco hoping it would entice ollie to want to drive to ewa beach to play with them.

{if only ollie's mama knew how to even get to ewa beach...total townie.}

thank you for the card karlee & kooper!

pet walk 2010

this past sunday i took ollie on his first pet walk!
we did the half mile course....i didn't want to over do it for his first time, and it was a good call. he was pooped!
i was worried that he wouldn't like it/be scared/bark continuously at other dogs/get trampled. turns out i had nothing to worry about. in fact, i think it's safe to say that it was one of the best days of his life. he got to meet and play with many other dogs. he stopped to say hello to every do he passed. he was outside--which he loooves. he was full steam ahead for almost the entire 1/2 mile...

i think i need to look into other pet walks!
