Charlie Brown Christmas
Because we are spending way more time in San Francisco this holiday season...and because we're not hosting a family Christmas, our
decorations are VERY low key this year.
Mommy brought in the live miniature Alberat Spruce from the back year. And, I (Brownie) think in honor of my hunting instinct, mommy decide the ornaments would be all birds.
I (Rocco) think it looks like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Four Exhausting Days in the City
We love looking out the window on California Street. Left to right...then right to left.
We could spend all day and all night watching the activity below. The people, the cars, the dogs, the cablecar....it's all so very facinating. BUT, it's also a BIG responsibility protecting our little piece of San Francisco. I (Brownie) especially take it seriously. Looking left to right; and right to left hour after hour. And then letting out an ear-piercing bark when something or someone 'suspicious' strolls by.
A holiday weekend in the city is exciting. But after four days 'on patrol', all that left to right and right to left is exhausting!

Gary Danko
This weekend was mommy's birthday. And to celebrate, daddy took mommy out for an extra special dinner.
Mommy has wanted to dine at this very fancy restaurant for years!
And finally, she got the chance.
Daddy got a reservation.
Mommy was very happy.
Daddy SCORED!
And we got a 'doggy bag' from the famous Gary Danko cheese cart.
S-C-O-R-E !!

Sunday Night Football
The Raiders really aren't very good this year; I'm (Brownie) embarrassed to be in gray and black. But I love momma's warm hoodie...and I'm always cold.
I'm (Rocco) more of a 49ers fan...which is almost as embarrassing. But my fur crimps in the San Francisco damp air...
Maybe we should start rooting for the Indianapolis Colts...they have a winning record AND a dome!

"The Beav"
Mommy takes a vanpool from the city to the country every Friday night. Its a long drive, with lots of traffic. But she says its worth it to be able to come home and spend the weekend with us. Our momma loves us soooo much.
It was so much fun.
The next thing you know the beaver is a shell of its former self and stuffing is everywhere.
I (Rocco) can't stand it anymore. I go in. I get it and steal it.
I just lovvvvve teasing Brown.

Mommy Goes to Paris
Momma's going on a business trip to Paris.
The Paris Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, that is.
We helped her pack.
It's only one night...and we'll be back together for our regular Wednesday night visit.
But we'll miss her anyway.
...what DOES happen in Vegas anyway?

Rocco Says No To The Hose
I (Brown) can't stand the hose topping off the spool. I wanna play! I wanna play with it!
Rocco wants nothing to do with the hose. Nope. Nothing.
If I (Rocco) ignore it, will it go away? Let me try it...

Seven Minutes FLAT.
Mommy bought us a couple new toys tonight. They’re from the AKC, they’re green & they're cool...Woodland Green Toys.
I (Brownie) gutted mine in 7 minutes. Flat.
Mommy timed me.
I think it was an owl. But I'm not sure...
Stuffing was everywhere. Then the squeaker came out. Mr. Owl was as flat as a pancake.
Whatever Brown. ...Just stay away from my (Rocco's ) Mr. Porcupine.
Whatever Rocco. ... ... ...Stuff really does happens Rocco.

Earthquake?
We have a sixth sense...but tonight at 8:04pm we didn't feel a thing.
A broom did fall in the garage...that caused us to bark. But that was it.
Earthquake ?
Granted we're in Fairfield...and the earthquake was centered in Alum Rock near San Jose. And when we learned THAT, we were worried about our cousins. But mommy is 'earthquake ready' and quickly went into action.
She called A. Jackie on her cell & when she finally got through and learned everyone was ok there...she hung up & called grandma and daddy & then txt'd A. Susie & A. Jonalyn, to spread the good news. phewww....
She knows a thing or two about a good communication strategy... After all, she IS in marketing.
She also asked daddy to let Nana Rosie & Pappa Rich know that all is ok here. And there was no need to worry. (MISTAKE)
Daddy needs to take a lesson in communication from momma...P R O N T O !
You don't send an email with a subject line "Earthquake!!!!" and no copy...unless you want to cause panic in the family tree.
Daddy. Daddy. Daddy...

Halloween Costumes? This is NOT an Option.
Tonight mom & dad talked about what they would dress us up as... IF they were going to dress us up.
Snow White & a Dwarf...NOT an option.
I have pride. And although I think Brownie would make a good Dopey, I (Rocco) am NOT dressing up as S. White!
No WAY.
No HOW.
NEVER!
(Note: This is a 'professional dog model'.
This is not Rocco. Momma would never do this to her boy.)

Aunt Jackie as Marie Osmond
Aunt Jackie loves Halloween.
She’s nostalgic.
She loves a come back story.
And she loves a good laugh.
We think she should dress up as “Marie Osmond fainting on Dancing with the Stars”. Its the P E R F E C T Halloween costume for her.
We can't wait to see her in light blue ruffles.

Rocco Snags a Rose Bush
We were out back this morning making sure all was right with the world…well, at least in Fairfield.
All of a sudden something on the side yard got our attention. We needed to investigate.
Daddy opened the gate. I (Brown) was quickly on the scent. Up on the hill. Sniffing fearlessly between rose bush & rose bush. I was in my element.
I (Rocco) decided I'd better follow. Brown’s got the nose, but I’ve got the brains. I needed to keep her in check. I gracefully leaped up the hill. I carefully followed Brown’s 'pawsteps'…weaving in between the rose bushes.
And then I suddenly stopped. Reality check: I couldn't move. I was stuck. Hooked. Stranded.
My plumb of a tail was attached to a rose bush.
Drats. All I could do was plea to daddy for help.
How totally embarassing.

Toss a Possum
Mommy got us each a new toy on Friday.
Fling a Frog for me (Rocco).
Toss a Possum for me (Brown).
I (Rocco) love a toy I can play tug of war with...
I (Brown) love new toys I can rip to shreds...
Yeah I do!
