Christmas 2008!!

I got this cute doggie photo frame from Aunt Bonnie.

And I got a new leash from my Mom and Dad!! Thank you!

And I had a great time trying to stick my nose in everyones stocking!

Sleeping on my new fluffy bed in front of the tree. Soooo comfy...

Hope everyone had a blessed Christmas!! Love -Tag the dog.

This is how a sleeping dog lies...

This one is my favorite!

Tristan (our 12 year old son) recently got these great shots of Tag.

Hanging Christmas Lights

I love being outside! Especially if it involves "manly stuff" like mowing the grass or hanging Christmas lights all afternoon. Here are some pictures from today of me "helping"

Love -Tag.

BOO!

This is my scary face, can you tell??
I'm ready to eat Trick-o-Treaters anytime...bring it on!
See those three headstones behind me? Those are the kiddos
I ate last year. Can you see my vicious fangs? I am fierce!
Don't let that sweet smile fool Ya!!

First Day of School!

Okay, so I didn't exactly cooperate for these pictures on the morning of the first day of school, but the boys-Zach (8th grade) & Tristan (6th) look great!! Woof!!

My new friend!!

This is Rudy, he is a five year old Golden Retriever. He is the life companion of Zachary and Tristan's Aunt Cathy in Jupiter Florida. He loves to play on the beach and go out into the ocean to play fetch. Obviously he likes to cuddle in bed at night also. Zachary and Tristan had a great time spending two weeks with their Aunt Cathy this summer! They learned a lot about sea turtles (also a four-legged friend)!

4th of July 2008

Here is a recent picture of me and the boys-Zach and Tristan taken on the Fourth of July.
Just so you know, fireworks don't bother me. I sleep right through them.
Hope you had a happy fourth! Woof!~Tag.

Atticus

This is Atticus. We haven't personally met, but he is an amazing dog! He lives on a beautiful piece of land in Montana. He has the coolest jobs! He watches over this land and the horses for his Mum-Sarah (Scary). Please visit http://scaryswest.blogspot.com/ to see some amazing photos of life through the eyes of another dog. The coolest dog-Atticus.

Zach coming home

When Zachary comes home from school we have this "routine". The Mom-Andrea takes me out front and says "Go get Zach"! Then I run down the sidewalk (not in the street) until I see Zach and greet him from his day at school. I think we both look forward to this very much. Then I do this figure 8 thing through his legs which really just gives me some rubs and scratches (I like this part best). It's a dogs life.-Tag.

I'm not sad...

You just caught me napping that's all.
That is my big fluffy bed from costco on the right.
It is too warm to sleep on it right now.
By my nose there is my favorite toy! It is a stuffed moose that squeeks! Now I ask you, what could be better than that?
When my people come home from being gone, I carry it in my mouth and present it to them by dropping it at their feet. But they can't have it! No, no. I'm just sharing for a second. A small milli-second, then you better give it right back-okay?:)

A special day

Last Friday Zachary made his confirmation in the church.

I didn't get to go to that (no dogs allowed in the house of God)

but I did get to be at the party the next day at the house!

Here they are!

Woof! I mean, Hello again! They have been home-like all the time and I haven't been able to log on to my blog-spot. Thank goodness they are gone for a bit and I have some "alone time on the computer". I can finally introduce you to my people-my family. The Hutchens Family. John is the Dad, Andrea is the Mom and Zachary and Tristan are the two boys.

The Hutchens Family adopted me from a newspaper ad almost three years ago. I was living in a very small house in Mesa and I wasn't getting any exercise. I'll be honest in saying, I put on a few pounds. Okay, I was overweight. Out of breath. And didn't even want to walk to the corner.

Jumping up on people? Not a problem, I couldn't hardly lift my front two paws off the ground.

The Mom-Andrea and the two boys came to pick me up that day. I was so excited I jumped right into their car! I was ready to go with my new Family.

Hi, my name is...

Tag! I'm a five year old yellow lab.
Right now my 'people' are not home, so I'm on the computer creating my own blog.
Soon, you'll learn all about my people-my family. They are great!
John, Andrea, Zachary, Tristan and my other four -legged friend, Brownie the guinnea pig.
Ever wanted to know what life is like behind the eyes of a family dog?
