Another month has passed and Baby P is now 4 months old! Can you believe it? And just like the past 3 months I was right by her side to document just how much she’s grown.
We’re super serious about our monthly photos….as you can see.
And because it’s the month of December, we totally had to take one making our “OMG Santa’s Coming!” faces!
Incase you missed the previous monthly sessions, be sure to check out Months 1 – 3 on my blog.
Raise your paw if you think Baby P is growing up way too fast! 
Just before Thanksgiving I went on a special adventure to visit Santa! Now I know what you’re thinking, visiting Santa before Thanksgiving? But hey….
…no lines! And when you have your little baby sister with you, no lines is a good thing!
That’s right, this was Baby P’s first time visiting with Santa. And you know I taught her well when the first thing she did was to tug on Santa’s beard to make sure it was real. You can never be too careful these days!
And if you’re thinking I let Baby P have all the fun, you would be mistaken. I NEVER pass up the opportunity to tell a jolly man in a red suit EXACTLY what I want for Christmas!
Next year Baby P and I need to work on our smiles. (It’s always hard to concentrate on picture taking when you’re trying to remember your Christmas wish list). We’ll get there.
It was fun to actually have a buddy to visit Santa with this year, after all, for the past 8 years I’ve been doing it solo. Santa is always more fun with friends!
Do your dogs get to visit Santa every year?

Hey friends! My sister and I are here today to share how we spent last weekend getting into the holiday spirit. You know, because it’s not officially the Christmas season until you go full on Christmas!
Number one on the to-do list, GET THE CHRISTMAS TREE!
Since I’m an old pro about hunting down that special tree I got to lead the expedition for our happy Christmas tree. I was a bit worried at first that all the good ones were taken, but then I found the perfect one!
Baby P agreed, so we said Dad, CHOP IT DOWN!
But first we had to take a xmas tree self! (everyone does it)
Timber!
I could hardly get home fast enough once the tree was down to help decorate it with my family!
Before the decorating could begin though mom got us all in front of the camera for a family portrait. A special one at that because we all got to wear our Ugly Christmas Sweaters from our friends at BooHoo.com. (that’s right, they have sweaters for the whole family, even the dog!)
Although to be fair, I don’t think they are that ugly at all! Dad got to wear one that said “Chillin with my Snowmies”, Mom’s said “Santa! OMG Santa’s Coming, I know him, I know him” (can you guess that movie), Baby P was a little too small to fit into most of the sizes on their site but she didn’t want to be left out so she wore a 5 year old size that said “Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animal”. And as you can see I wore a fun holiday sweater too!
Official Christmas Family Photo ….check! Now it was time to decorate the tree!
The tree may have been trimmed, but Baby P and I weren’t ready to stop being Christmasy.
With maybe a few outtakes here and there! Yay for Christmas!
You can snag a fun sweater for yourself and your pups from our friends at BooHoo.com!
What fun things do you do with your pets to get into the holiday spirit?

When I suddenly found myself this summer the big brother to a tiny little human, I never imagined all the cool stuff that would come with her. Like this play yard for instance. I mean just look how cool it is with all the dangling dog toys and colorful shapes.
It was so cool in fact that my mom kept finding me inside it, mostly when my sister wasn’t occupying it, but occasionally I just couldn’t resist jumping in to play with her too.
Mom said as cute as it was that I wanted to share in my sisters playtime that it wasn’t really a good idea. Because even though I try my hardest to be gentle, I do have pointy nails, and a tail, and sometimes I don’t always look before I leap. (guilty as charged)
While this is all very true I admit, how was it fair that I didn’t get to play in her little pen with all the fun toys?
I guess I shouldn’t have worried too much, because did you know there is such a thing as a Portable Pet Pen?
That’s right, inside this bag is my very own personal play pen!
It popped open in seconds (you can check out a video of it in action), and I knew my sister was going to be so jealous when she saw what I got, but sorry sister, this pen is only for me!
It even had a built in doggie door just for little dogs my size!
Mom filled my pen with some of my favorite toys at the shop so when she can’t keep an eye on me I could safely play inside my pen.
Now my sister and I both have our own special containment areas to keep us safe. Mom doesn’t have to worry about me jumping on the baby accidentally when she’s busy working, and I don’t have to worry about my little sister trying to steal all my toys! Because lets face it, I’m way more spoiled than her in the toy department.
The best part though is we can still see each other through the breathable and see-through mesh walls, so I can still fulfill my big brother duties by keeping an eye on little sis.
You can snag one of these awesome Portable Pet Pens from Carlson Pet Products for 10% off and FREE SHIPPING with code PETPEN10
Mom says these pens would also be great for puppies, taking pets on vacation, and even dogs that show and compete as they can be used outdoors as well!

And now it’s time for my November adventures…
I shared my secret to having lots of adventures with my family.
I shared all the fun I had carving pumpkins with my sister.
I got my sleep on again this month.
I shared how I’m documenting my sister’s growth each month.
I took my sister to one of my favorite stores.
I hit the trail and went off on a hike.
I got myself into some dirty business on the farm.
I set off on an adventure for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
I shared my cool new leash from HUND Denmark, and my giveaway with them is still going on!
Baby P and I shared what we are hoping ends up in Santa’s sleigh!
And that brings us to December! Time for warm blankets and snuggling up on the couch with mom and dad!
What was your favorite adventure of mine this month?
Holy Cow. You’re never gonna guess what showed up on the farm the other day. My eyes caught sight of it, and I could just hardly contain my excitement. It was….
….a GIANT, fantastic, amazing pile of screenings!
Of course I wasted no time at all getting ALL UP IN IT, because there really is only one thing you can do when a big pile of screenings shows up at your doorstep….
…Conquer that mountain like nobody’s business.
Well and maybe dig a hole or two as well…
What would your dog do with a big pile of screenings?
Back in September I went on a very important adventure with my sister that I forgot to share. How could I forget? We went to Petco!
It’s arguably one of the most important trips in a young baby’s life. I mean how else is she going to know where to shop for me?
While I was there I even got to pick out a FREE pound of cookies thanks to the Birthday club. I never say no to cookies. And lucky for me my sister doesn’t eat cookies, so I didn’t even have to share.
Now sister, we are going to go through every square inch of this store while I explain to you which are the best treats & toys. It’s going to take a while, but be oh-so-worth it for your education. You can thank me when you’re older.
What do you think my sister will get me for Christmas?
P.S. If you’re wondering more about the food I’ve picked up at the store, read all about my favorite toys, treats, food & more on my gear page.
Every month my mom has been taking photos of my little sister as she grows. I was a bit jealous at first, but then I realized my daily life has been documented in photos and videos for the past 6 years on this blog….so maybe it’s time to share the camera.
That lasted oh….5 seconds…before I couldn’t stand to sit on the sidelines anymore. So every month I’ve been having my photo taken with my sister to document how much she grows. Here we are on Monday as she turned 3 months old…
Now it seems that a lot of my fans just can’t get enough of me and Baby P, so I’m going to be sharing our monthly photos with you from here on out. But since I missed the last few, here they are so you can see how much she’s grown…
And because we just can’t get enough snuggles in, here we are this month, doing what siblings do…
Love ya sis!
So do you think my sister grew a whole bunch from last month?
My sister might not like to nap, but I certainly do! Which is why I’ve got a whole new batch of sleeping spots to share with you this month.
Relaxing right? I bet you’re jealous you can’t nap all day like me. Don’t worry, I can take enough naps for the both of us.
What’s your favorite spot this month?
