New Jackets!

I bought some new jackets for Beren to help keep him dry and clean with all this rain we are getting.  The first one is a little smaller than I would have liked, but it will be a nice back-up if nothing else is clean.  The rest of the pictures are my favorite jacket for him!  I love how much of him it covers!  And I adore how ridiculous he looks in it!!  I was laughing so much that my abs really started hurting!  Haha!  :)

People Watching

Beren LOVES people and was getting anxious when he could hear so many people outside our house.  I left the front door open for him so he could watch the people working.  We aren't sure exactly what they were doing, but there were lots of construction workers outside.  He was very happy, but definitely seemed disappointed that they weren't coming in our house to play with him.  Haha!

Little Tongue

This is the first time in a long time that I have had a puppy on National Puppy Day!  I love my pooch so much!  He may not look like a puppy, but at only 9 months old, he definitely acts like one!

Photo Sessions

As you probably know, I own a fluffy little hamster named Tarcil who has his own blog.  I regularly do short little photo sessions with Tarcil to post pictures of him on his blog.  I normally send Beren to his cage or outside while I am working with Tarcil because I don't trust Beren around such a fragile creature.  However, this time, I was working so quickly with Tarcil that I forgot to send Beren away.  Beren made a point to stay close by at all times, but he still kept enough distance that I knew Tarcil was safe.  Beren clearly just wanted to watch!  Aren't they so cute??!!  

Tiny Sweaters

Our yard is wet and muddy which means Beren is likely to get wet and muddy.  He doesn't get quite as dirty when he wears a sweater since it covers at least part of him.  Unfortunately the only sweater that actually fits him in getting washed, so I had to find whatever else I still have.  Doesn't he look so silly in these tiny sweaters??!!  Haha!  I just had to share these pictures!  Beren couldn't seem to understand why I wouldn't stop laughing at him!  Haha!

Fluffy Butt

I didn't quite realize just how long Beren's hair has gotten until he got a bath yesterday!  He looks so pretty and sooooo fluffy!  The hair on his butt is the best because it is so curly!  Haha!  He finally looks full grown to me.  I don't expect he will get any bigger.  Although, I am sure his hair will keep getting fluffier.  :)

Dirty Doggo

Well, the snow melted and now our yard is wet and muddy which automatically means our pooch is wet and muddy.  He is still pretty cute even if he is a dirty doggo.  :)  

Snow Again!

It snowed again!  Beren got this adorable sweater from our amazing neighbors for Christmas!  At the time, it was so huge I thought it would never fit him.  It's amazing how much he has grown in just a few short months!  It is perfect for him now!  In fact, it is the only sweater he has that is big enough for him!  He seems to really enjoy wearing it!

Chasing His Tail!

I love seeing dogs chase their tails!  I was so happy to see that Beren will still chase his tail, even though he is almost full grown!  He is just so cute!  :)

Recreating Puphood

Beren is growing up so quickly!  I recently tried to recreate a fun day he had as a puppy with the packing paper from an Amazon package.  Beren didn't seem to know what he was supposed to do with the paper.  He even seemed a little scared of it.  Apparently he has a short memory and has forgotten all the fun he had when he was a tiny pup.  You can watch the video of him going crazy by going to: http://berenstale.blogspot.com/2016/09/packing-paper.html

I am just glad that Beren is never too old for cuddles in my lap (even if he barely fits)!  He was completely stretched out and so relaxed.  :)

Sad Pup

I went to the bedroom to get away from the pup because he was annoying me with his persistence in trying to get me to play with him.  He of course followed me into the bedroom and looked at me with the most sad face he could muster as he reached his face as close as he could to me.  I of course forgot that 5 seconds before I was annoyed and immediately began telling him how cute he is and giving him lots of kisses.  This pup might be outsmarting me...
