Christmas-time (again)!

It is that time of year again, it's Christmas! I don't even know what this is all about really, but every year, when it gets cold outside, the humans spend time putting all sorts of new things in the living room. They even put this thing that looks (but doesn't smell like) a tree, right where I take my afternoon naps. 

"Don't mind me, I halp."

I don't really mind, as this time of year is also accompanied by lots of cooking and baking, which means more kitchen fallout and snacks for me! And this is also when Christine no longer goes away during the day - she is around all day like Richie for me to hang out with.

There aren't many presents under the tree, but who needs them when you have me?

In the morning, we opened up our "stockings" and I got some tasty treats. Then I tried to help them open their presents, but I quickly got scolded for trying to eat the wrapping paper! When will I learn?

Later in the day, we went to the Johnson house for more presents and treats. More yummy treats and delightful smelling food. I didn't get to eat it, but licked the plates clean - yum!

Now that Christmas is over again, I am really pooped! I wonder how long it will be before we celebrate Christmas again?

My new step-sister!

We went for another long drive yesterday, and we ended up at my brother Cooper's place again! But when we got there, there was a surprise waiting for us - a baby sister! As with all puppies, I usually give them lots of room, as I don't much like excitement. But River, that's her name, was quite low-key, and so I was ok letting her get close to me. 

Long ago, Cooper's humans used to have two Berners, and so now they are a 2-dog family again. I'm pretty happy that I get to have my house all to myself... I mean with Christine and Richie too.  

As you can see, she's pretty small compared to me and Cooper, but that will change over time, from what I hear. Sure, she's pretty cute, but I can still pour on the charm... just look at me getting cozy with Richie on the armchair!

Working for a living

Very early this morning, Richie put me in the car, and we went to work! I have done this before, so I knew what to expect, yet I was still anxious and nervous. Richie had to tie me up every time he would step away, as I would cause a ruckus and try to knock things over! But after a while, we got into a big van, and ended up here.

I got mobbed by the cast and crew; the show is called "A Million Little Things". All I know is that in between each take, I would get lots of attention from the humans working on the show. We spent most of our time walking back and forth on the sidewalk, which got kinda repetitive for me.

For those that aren't familiar with working in TV & film, it can be really boring, and sometimes we'd sit or lie down for long periods. Thankfully, it was a pretty nice, sunny day, or else Richie would have gotten cold - I of course, never get cold!
