Lucky Me

I am the luckiest fellow in the world.  I'm the one that gets to cuddle with my soft and warm friend Diego-san...

Bros

I love how they are crossing paws...

Close Up

Thompson doesn't sit on me as often as he used to do. But when he does he likes to get his face right in my face. 3D Thompson.

Angled Snoozing

He's either defying gravity or it's an optical illusion.

Howl

Theo is howling downstairs. He does this frequently enough that I tend to not even react anymore. It always gets Thompson's attention though even after all these years.

You Snooze, You Lose

Looks like I'll be sleeping on the floor tonight.

House of Sarcasm

This is a face of a boy who has lived with a sarcastic food guy and knows not everything he is told is being told in a straightforward way. I'm not sure both of his brothers have figured that out yet.

A Dare

Whatever you do Thompson, do not look at the camera...

Preparing for Nov. 8

Diego-san knows the food guy earns money by helping voters and counting ballots. This is of course the busiest time of a four year cycle. Diego-san knows that soon his food guy will keep getting crankier and crankier and will be absent from his main duties more and more often.

Da Boyz

Three's company but very good company.

Sunshine Boy

Enjoying some autumn sun...

It's You Little Buddy

Theo was really curious what I was writing about...

Entitled Laziness

Diego-san let me know this is what he plans to do all weekend. I can't say I blame the guy...

Mr. Natural

Some of us don't have to work very hard at being good looking. Me on the other hand?

Finding Theo

I always make it a point to find each of the boyz and say goodbye before I leave for work int he morning.  Yesterday morning I had a difficult time finding Theo.  When I did this is where he was... Actually it probably should have been the first place I looked.

Floofer

Floofing out the tail is tiring work.

Tuesday Boy

This is what Tuesday looks like. Not much different than Wednesday, Thursday, of Friday (or Saturday, Sunday, and Monday...)

Close But No Cigar...

I told Theo that one of my many jobs in life was as a grocery bagger.  I don't quite think he understood what that meant but he gave it a good try.

A Raised Paw

Thompson, do you have a question?

I Heart Diego-san

Not many on this planet have the ability to brighten my mood instantaneously.  This guy has that ability...

Take Heat Wherever It Comes From

It's cold in the house and this might explain Diego-san's tolerance of Theo's proximity.

Satchel's Haiku

Occasionally, we publish the boyz's Haiku on the blog.  I'm not sure they've ever come up with one as good as Satchel's.

Vanity-san

3,801 posts? He wants to know how many have been about him...

Celebration!

This is our 3,800 blog post.  We are whooping it up.

The Box Fits

He's my lil coconut.

Autumn Boy

He loves autumn. The crisp fall air. Watching me do yardwork a while as he drifts in and out of naps. That's the life for him.

Bball

My final Minnesota Twins game of the year. They likely will set their team record for the most losses ever... I will alway enjoy going to a Twins' game (baseball was probably my first non-mom love although mom passed her love of baseball on to me) no matter how much they suck. And I think the boyz would really love running around the outfield of Target Field, the second most beautiful ballpark I've been to (behind Pittsburgh's).

Cat's Cradle

Apparently Thompson is playing some type of string game.

Oh Theo

I hope this isn't his version of giving me the finger.

Smelt One

Diego-san had some poo stuck to his hind quarters furs when he came upstairs to be combed. I smelled it right away and started calling him Mr. Stinky. He wasn't too appreciative of that. He reminded me his nose is much more sensitive than mine and I don't exactly smell like roses.

Down Time

It seems like Theo only sleeps about five days out of the year. Yesterday happened to be one of them.

Obviously

Diego-san just loves having a nap interrupted by a camera stuck right in his mug.

Professor Thompson

Thompson is giving a lecture to his students...

Stare to Action

We're both waiting for the other to do something exciting...

Just One Thing

Just a bath in the sun, that's all a boy ever needs. Oh and regular meals, a clean place to take a dump, a warm body to snuggle with, and...

Alert

Thompson has upped his alert level from blue to green.

Da Feets

Theo is trying to figure out where that unpleasant odor is coming from.

The Goods

Diego-san thinks he now has enough on me to blackmail me for anything he wants. He's threatening to go public unless I give in to his demands (more treats, hugs, and doing something about that annoying younger brother).

Back to Work

I took all of last week off from work becoming one of the annoying people who complain they have to take vacation time because if they don't, they've hit their cap and will lose vacation time.  I think Diego-san got used to having me home almost all the time...

Da Boyz...

In descending tail size order.

Positions Please

Diego-san's place during guitar practice is usually on the bed next to me.  Theo and Thompson's place is downstairs out of sight (and probably sound).  Afterward Theo and Thompson join Diego-san and myself upstairs.  They do however, always look a little skittish as if I might pull out the guitar for one more song.

Snug as a Bug

Got a new rug for the boyz to throw up on.  Diego-san was the first to check it out.

99 Percent of the Time

He's even cute when he's sleeping.

Happy Birthday Thompson

The past 13 years have been a blessing...

Just Hangin' Out

Comfort is as comfort be.

Did Somebody Say Waffles?

Although he's never had one, asking Diego-san if he wanted waffles evoked this reaction...

Training Day

Making sure he's well rested for Labor Day...

Sweeping the Nation

Diego-san likes Thompson therefore he supports his buddy's effort to start a 'hug a shoe' movement.

Everyone Should Try It

Thompson, our trendsetter, is trying to establish a new fad: shoe hugging.
