The Hierarchy At Our House

I think the title of this blog and the picture say it all :)

How is that comfortable!?!?

Guinness gets himself into the funniest of sleeping or just lounging about positions.... so often Ken and I just look at one another and ask "How is that comfortable?!" But Guinness seems pretty darn happy so I guess he is!

Guinness Goes to a Ballgame

A few weeks ago Ken & I took Guinness to Bark in the Park at the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. We all had a whole lot of fun and Guinness made a few new friends too!

Guinness was not so sure about meeting Pinch but Pinch wanted to be his friend....

Bon Voyage Scott! But Guinness is NOT Happy About It!

Guinness has become very attached to many of "his mids" and "his Ensigns" but he is especially attached to his best buddy Scott.

Scott & Guinness have definitely had some fun (well at least in one of their minds it was fun) here in Annapolis.

But alas... now it is time for Scott to flee the nest and head out of Annapolis to EOD school. Yesterday we said our "good-byes" for now which were really more "We will see you soon!" because Scott will certainly be stuck seeing us for many many years to come.  Guinness knew something that he didn't like was up and he was very sad to see Scott go (even pouted extensively after Scott left!) so I promised that once Scott is settled into more permanent housing than the BOQ I will bring Guinness out to visit.

Scotty you will be missed here tremendously by all of us but we will see you soon! We wish you lots of luck! Love ya man!!!

Guinness Loves Visits from Family & Friends

We were lucky to have my "sister" Lisa & family come and visit us for a few days here in Annapolis. Guinness loves them all so much! He was very sad when they had to leave but I promised him that we would work on a visit to go see them in Indiana again soon :)

Guinness Pictures of the Week - 7 July 2013

These just absolutely crack me up! I am sure you can imagine how much I was laughing when I took them!!

Guinness - It's been awhile since I've posted pictures

I have been so incredibly slacking lately about posting Guinness pictures... I really apologize for depriving all of you of such adorableness. To be fair I've been behind on all sorts of stuff on social media because life has just been busy busy busy.... but life is good!

Here are a few Guinness pictures to make you go awwwwwwww.....

Guinness Loves His Mids

As mentioned in my Facebook status I've been remiss in posting to Facebook but I've also been remiss in blogging and posting Guinness pictures of the week as well. Sorry about that folks!!


I thought it was very appropriate that this week's installment of "Guinness Pictures of the Week" be in honor of the Midshipmen who have all been recently promoted (either to the Officer ranks or a year further at the Academy)... Guinness sure does love his Mids & Officers :)

Guinness is Happy "His People" Are Home

Guinness got to spend some time at a rather luxe Dog Hotel while we were gone this past weekend but you know how he is about having "his people" corralled... Now he can rest much easier since we are home... (No this picture was not taken today, or even here in Annapolis, but it's such a perfect capturing of how he looks today too!)

Even When He's Being Pestered He's Adorable!

Guinness gets "pestered" with various things by all of us and yet he remains adorable instead of looking grumpy... he's such a good sport!

Here he was "wearing" a birthday crown hat (stuffed kind of thing) that fell down around his neck so he just decided to put his head down and take a nap :)

Guinness Goes to the Beach!

Well I guess the title isn't entirely correct because Guinness got to go to not 1 but 2 beaches today! Unfortunately it wasn't exactly sunbathing weather  but given that Guinness is not a huge fan of the water or the heat I think today was right up his alley!

We started the day in Rehoboth Beach where Ken and I took Guinness for a run on the beach. He got to run free for a bit (steering very clear of the water as he usually does!) and made some new friends too.

Then Guinness had to some posing in his doggie "I wanna be a model" style....

Of course we had to take a family pic while we were out having fun...

Then on the way back home to Annapolis as we were driving past Sandy Point Park (not far at all from Annapolis) we decided to go ahead and pull off the highway and pull in and let him take a run on the beach there too!

Bottom line is Guinness had a big fun day! And since these beaches don't let dogs on them during the high season doggies are not allowed on the beach we are glad to give Guinness a chance to enjoy them now.

I think it's safe to say Guinness was all worn out from his adventures and travels from the weekend!

We Had a Birthday!

I know I know I am way behind on Guinness Pictures of the Week.... let's be honest if that was the only thing I was behind on I'd be doing pretty darn good! So I apologize to those of you who have been missing your weekly dose of Guinness but here are some pictures to satiate that need :)

Guinness turned 4 on Sunday. Is he really 4? Well who knows - since he's a pound puppy (the BEST kind of dog to get!) we have no real idea so the vet told me to pick a birthday that was at the beginning of the year (based on her assessment of how old she thought he was when we got him) and I naturally decided that Saint Patrick's Day was of course the best possible day for his birthday given how much he likes to party and that his name is Guinness.

This year for his birthday he got all sorts of treats.... eggs for breakfast, treats through the day and then Ken busted out with some quality quality birthday surprises....

First off Ken wrote this card for Guinness - it had me rolling on the ground laughing! Since Guinness can't read Ken drew him some pictures to illustrate his birthday wishes.

Ken felt bad that Guinness has to spend some time alone from time to time (he is a very needy dog - he truly wants us with him 24 hours a day 7 days a week) he got him a "friend" to hang out with...

Overall I am pretty sure Guinness had a pretty awesome birthday!!!

Squirrel Antics for Corn

All of you who know Guinness know how he loves to chase squirrels. Now let me preface by we don't want him to actually catch a squirrel but watching him spaz out at the window when he sees them is quite entertaining - the noises he makes are beyond hilarious! And I must say watching him flat out sprint after them is pretty funny too. We feared with it being winter here we might not have any squirrels in the yard to entertain Guinness so we decided to put up a squirrel feeder. That said Ken wanted the squirrels to have to work for it and for them to have the ability to get away from Guinness so he dangled it from the eve of the garage and there is a tree right next store. I finally managed to catch the squirrel eating the corn on camera.... HILARIOUS! And you can hear Guinness and his funny noises he makes... Sorry for the lousy camera work but I had limited capabilities since I had to zoom way in to get the squirrel....

Not sure which I am more amused by... the back flip or the Tilt-a-Squirrel ride ;)

Since my space on the blog is somewhat limited by the data plan I have to pay for I decided to upload my video  to Youtube instead - click here to check it out!!

The New Face of Fritos?

Even Guinness thinks that Fritos are delicious.... well to be fair he thinks the one Frito and all the crumbs at the bottom of the bag are!!
