Dog Days of Summer

Howdy there Every Dog and Every Person....... Your Griffindale Puppy Update here......


We are just hanging 'round today....Mumsie has been busy doing her usual thing - work stuff and such....


We thought we'd tell you all about Lola's Big Boat and Beach adventure! She got to go wiff the kiddos and have a great day wiff the family at the beach on Saturday.....


So, she got to ride in the car to get to the marina....okay, no big deal there, except she went for a bye-bye and WE STAYED HOME! Then she got on the boat to cruise up the river to go to the Spit...that's what the beach is called....the Spit. We've both been there but we guess Saturday was Miz Lola's turn....
Mumsie and Ally on the boat with Lola Belle......

And see, see, see...Lola can swimmy already!!!! She is SOOOOO SMAHT!

Well, with those pancake paws she SHOULD be able to swim....ha-ha... look at her, she looks a bit like a drowned rat...not a princess! OOPS! Maybe we shouldn't have said that.....ummm, sorry Mumsie! Sorry Lola Dale.......

And there she is, figuring out WHAT SAND IS....yeah, we know. It gets everywhere! Up your nose, in your paws, in your ears, on your belly.....mmmmmm but it feels good! Soft and squishy like! Looks like Lola had a good time in the sand.....

And in Mumsie's lap and see the frosting on her nose? HEEE-HEEEEE!

And then finally she laid down and took a nap.....

Now, let us tell you that Lola napped on Sunday and again on Monday from her BIG BEACH ADVENTURE...she was soooo tired. Mumsie gave her a tubbie too so she wouldn't have salt and sand all over her...... We love you Lola, welcome to the world of Griffindale adventure! It's only just begun.... We look forward to lots more adventures wiff you!

Nose Pokes and lickey-licks....

Your Brothers Dale....

Roy Boy and Jack

Father's Day Weekend

Well, it was Father's Day and we were very busy this weekend. We had Ally's Promotion Ceremony too - from 6th Grade to 7th Grade and moving up to Junior High School. Plus she had a Dance Recital this weekend on Saturday. AND then it was Father's Day on Sunday.

Look at poor us...we got (relatively speaking) no attention or love.....we were practically neglected based on recent attention standards....

Here I stand in my kennel room....well, it's really Mumsie's mud room that she gave to us. Wiff just my toys....and my brothers of course....

And that's the fish tank behind them...we get to watch them swim around all day......

BUT THEN SHAZAM!

MUMSIE TOOK US OUTSIDE FOR SOME FUN TOGETHER IN THE YARD.....

Our Mumsie weally loves us......she is so good to us......

Here I am showing Jack that I have good manners......cause I'm the GIRL of the house....

And then Roy Boy and I are sharing some pointers on how to play wiff Jack -Jack....

And here is how Ally, my sister hooman, looked for her promotion and for her recital...isn't she boooooteeeeeeeful? I love my sister.....

Ally rocks in her pink and white.....yes, notice boys....PINK and WHITE....as she is very much a GIRRRRLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

OOOOOH and here she is on her promotion nite......very booooottteeeefffulllll!

GO ALLY! GO ALLY! She won an award for scoring a PERFECT MCAS MATH TEST SCORE...YES PERFECT...AS IN NO MISTAKES!

Well, thisis Lola Dale signing off to say the least...I am enjoying my new family and love that both my brothers are play wiff me now and shring toys and space and stuff......it's totally pawesome! I love my new family and my home.....I am going otbe very comfy.......indeed. Despite being neglected over the weekend....I realize it can't ALWAYS be "Lola Time"

Ciao my pawesome friends.......I may go visit some bloggies today......hope to see you 'round!

In Mumsie's Garden

Howdy Y'All ~



I'm Lola Dale....I wear PINK. Yep, I"m Mumsie's Girl and I am rockin' the house over here. Those 2 boys don't what hit 'em! I race and romp and play bitey face wiff them but Mumsie doesn't let them bitey face back....yet. I suspect when I reach my Big Girl sizes....ah, like 100 pounds....that won't be the case anymore. But for now - It's totally pawesome cuz the boys can't TOUCH ME! I AM A PRINCESS!



Oh yeah and in case you are wonderin'...I LOVE my new house and my family so very much. They wuff me and squeeze me and give me toys and treats and I am a pretty spoiled princess....I do really like it here. I have a very spacious kennel next to Mumsie's bed where I sleep (she's my bestest friend in the whole world ya know) and she takes me out when I need to potty and she feeds me when I'm hungry....and sometimes she scolds me when I do something totally puppydale....but I have to learn she says.



Well, I had an adventure in her garden last night and with the kiddos....we had so much FUN! Here are some pictures.....

Here I am with my kiddos....they totally love me and I love them...so much fun!

And in Mumsie's Garden......

And there was so much to learn about...I had to really get in there.....I even dug a litle hole and turned over a couple of rocks....Mumsie didn't seem like she thought I was helpful... but I tried....

Then I had to make sure nothing was hiding in these pots.......so much work to do in the yard!

And finally, I got to take a rest. I don't know how Mumsie does it all...there's so much to keep up wiff!

Well, I will stop over and visit some of your bloggies this weekend. Mumsie is sorry for not being better at touching bases this week.....I have kept her busy. And she got the Secret Santa package for us Dales and needs to post about that (thank you so much to our BUDDY FLASH!!!!!) and she sent off a package to Gus and Louie and has to post about that.....SORRY GANG! I have been the most important thing in Mumsie's world this past week (how nice for me) and Mumsie is sorry that she has not been able to pay more attention to all her friends and pals of the Griffindales. She will be better next week - PROMISE!

So, Miz Lola Dale signing out! Peace, Paw Slaps and Nose Pokes Y'All!

Lady Lola sending you all BIG LOVINS!

Lola's first adventure out

Hello Everyone ~



We are so happy she is here....I am just in love with our girl and the boys are getting used to her as well. Jack seems a bit more put out - as he is our big alpha......and Roy Boy is the nurturing and playful brother...being attentive and making sure that Lola is ok. Jack engaged in some play time last night which was very positive so it seems we are all adjusting well.



Princess Lola got to go swimming at her cousin's house already. It was in the 90's and VERY hot so we packed it up and went over to their place for some relief on Sunday afternoon. Lola loves the pool and getting to be so cool in the water but she also found a comfy spot under my chair too.



Here are afew pictures from our fun day at the pool.....

Lounging in the yard under Mumsie's chair for shade......



Wiff my Mumsie getting some love and taking a dip to cool off!



Just chilling! I had so much fun visiting but I wanted tobe in the shade all day - it was SOOOO hot!



And her eis my cutest ever pose for Mumsie....she wuffs my eyes in the picture because they are so sweet.....I try tobe a sweet girls all the time but I must admit....I have crocodale teeth! I cannot help it, they have not fallen out yet so they are very sharp and I only mean to nibble.....but Mumsie says it hurts. OOOPsies! I will have to be careful!


And here I am wiff cousin Lucky in the background....she's a 1 yr old Boxer girl who like to play rough....I must also admit, I was under Mumsie's chair to escape! But it was ok....Lucky was mostly just trying to have fun. I was just too hot to want to play.

Lola Dale here with Mumsie signing off for now...we will post again soon.....we have so much going here....it is a very busy place my new house.....but I love it SOOOOO Much!

Later guys! More stories to come! Can't wait to meet you all and share my adventures!
