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 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!)

Guinness Loves Sushi

Come on now - you all knew that Guinness is all sorts of spoiled so this next part shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to you....

A couple weeks ago we went out for a really fantastic sushi dinner with a friend of ours and while it was fantastic we unfortunately ordered too much. None of us were willing to do "sushi leftovers" but since it was just the fish (no rice etc.) we figured as long as we gave it to him pretty quickly that we'd see if Guinness might enjoy it.... and oh boy did he!!!

Here's some video of him chowing down!

And he most definitely licked the "plate" clean when he was done!

The Fur is Flying!!

Well Guinness never had terribly long hair until we moved to a colder climate and now he's gotten all sorts of furry and fluffy over the winter. (Now that spring has sprung he will be getting a haircut this week though!) We've been chuckling over how different and adorable he looks. Last weekend while driving his fur was all sorts of flying about with the windows rolled down...

Guinness Loves Blankets

Guinness is so funny - he just loves to have a blanket (or equivalent) to curl up on. Lucky for him there are quite a few of those around here for him to use....

One evening Guinness was feeling anti-social because it was late and there were quite a few people in our living room so he decided to curl up on Ken's shirt in the hallway...

Guinness Pictures of the Week - 3 March 2013

Guinness is a TOTAL snuggler and he also loves blankets....

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!!
