Onyx's gotcha day cookies

Wow I can't believe I haven't made a blog post in almost a year! Blame my mom....

Anyway, tomorrow is Onyx's gotcha day! I can't believe he's been officially part of the family for two years already! Mom and Dad made some tasty banana-flax cookies for us to celebrate and let us eat some tonight... if you want to try the recipe, check it out on her blog here!

Rutabaga

Damn, this rutabaga is HEAVY. But that's okay my big strong head can handle it :) If you ever need a holder for your big heavy root vegetables you know who to call!

(FYI- bully heads are specially designed to hold very heavy vegetables on them.. not for biting, attacking, or fighting! Well, sometimes also for the occasional nudging to get pets.. I mean it's very hard to ignore a head so large)

Our trip through the FL Panhandle and to NOLA!

It's been a while! Sorry for not keeping up with my blog for a while. A lot has changed since my last post.... my parents bought us a house, and I now have another sister named Kimmie (so there are 4 of us "dogs" in the family). We just got back from an amazing spring break trip (I'm so grateful that our parents let us come with!) to several areas along the Florida Panhandle and also to New Orleans! I wanted to share the post about our trip that my Mommy wrote! Below you can see tons of photos from our adventures.

Manny in the zen

Sorry I've been MIA for a while!

Guac-o-Manny!

Sunglasses

Sunglasses.. Can be worn in many ways. Including balanced on the nose. 

Avocado

Anyone in the mood for guac?

Homemade Weiner Cookies

Obviously make great nose decorations... (And they're tasty to eat!)

A Manny in Venice

I had a blast spending this past week at my grandma's house in Venice, Florida. The week was filled with time at the dog beach, finding a dog that looks just like me.. possibly a long lost sister named Annie (Annie and Manny- perfect combo!), and going to Myakka River State Park. Check out some pictures from my adventures!

Glasses

How do I look? 

Bag of Dog Treats

What's more impressive than balancing a dog treat on my nose? 

Balancing the whole bag.

Happy birthday to me!

Today is my gotcha day and my estimated birthday! I got a yummy birthday dog cookie that I shared with my brother, sister, aunt and uncle dogs. We spent the day in sunny Venice and Siesta Key exploring and getting lots of attention and pets when everyone found out it was my birthday! I even met a dog named Annie who was like my twin! Manny and Annie make a great pair :)

Hooked on Technology

We really need to lay off the technology a little bit.. It's starting to affect our social skills (in person) because humans are so addicted to their phones and social email. How about you take a break from your cellular device for a bit.. My nose makes the perfect resting spot :)

Happy Birthday to Me!

On Sunday my parents threw me a birthday party! Complete with pup-cakes, doggie friends, and even goodie bags! I'm around two years old now.. A big boy :) I had such a blast! Thanks to all my friends who came to celebrate! 

Strawberry Season

It's that time of year again... Strawberry season! 

I love me some strawberries ;) 

Where's the Chapstick?

My lips are dry.

Chip Clip

A new purpose for chip clips.. Nose decor :)

Remember to Have Good Dental Hygiene

Pitbulls sure know how to keep their teeth clean! Because of our willingness to please we are extremely cooperative with teeth brushing :)

Ca-nose-ing Along the Santa Fe

Yesterday I enjoyed an exciting adventure with my family, as we canoed down the Santa Fe River. Some people think pitbulls are unruly, wild and aggressive.. but tell me if that's the case, how come my brother Onyx and I (and our older sister Weiner) are relaxing and so well behaved on a boat? Would an aggressive animal be able to be contained and keep a boat balanced so well as we did? If we wanted to be jerks, we could have toppled the humans over, but we didn't :) Enjoy these fun pictures of us having a grand old time. We are very grateful that our humans bring all three of us on such fun adventures!

Bath Time

Forgot to post something yesterday.. But here's some pics so you can witness what bath time looks like in a pitbull household.
