Dad brought me to this year’s first BW, which is right here at 11Alive.

There’s Dad with the guys who are working the grill. They have chicken, pork, and ribs, and I even got to eat some… though I had to wait my turn, just like everyone else.

This is some of the stuff they put on the barbecue.

Everyone at the station walked in on Dad’s weather report just to get their share. I got mine pretty close to the start, and it was awesome.

Steven, who’s normally working with Valerie, took some video of me hanging out, and as soon as I learn how to use the system Dad uses to put up his video, I’ll post it here on my blog.

See you soon!

Now that the weather’s getting warmer, it’s more fun to do stuff outside, and last night I got to be on TV again and be outside at the same time, which was pretty awesome. Me, Dad, and Dennis were out in the little garden spot outside 11Alive. Dennis talked about dogs who bark too much.

He wasn’t talking about me. Really.

If you forgot to watch or DVR me on TV last night, you can watch it right here:

See you soon!

Let me give you a little hint:

A spray bottle? Really?

Yep. I needed a BATH. Big-time. As you can see, I wasn’t too thrilled. I guess the washing was okay, but is this the face of a happy dog at the drying station?

This is my nonplussed face.

Dad says that if I roll around outside in the pollen and the dirt, this is what I have to expect. I’m not sure if I like water yet — I was talking to Dad’s friend Josh from 11Alive, and Josh said his golden, when he was a kid, was afraid to go swimming. It’s an option.

That’s really the most exciting thing that’s happened to me lately. I know some of you have been asking where I’ve been; well, with everything going on at home and Dad taking a few days off work, I haven’t been able to get to the station. Don’t worry; I’m still here. Not sure if Dad will be able to bring me by next week, but we’ll see.

Oh, and one more thing: check out this hilarious video I found on YouTube. This dog really loves baths, huh?

Me at 11Alive on February 26

And here’s video of me, Dad, Dennis, and Mom from the news last night, in case you missed it.

I just wish Dad would stop telling everyone how much I weigh…

Stay safe this weekend; Dad says there’s probably going to be some bad weather. If that happens, I’m totally watching him on TV.

Well, I’m going to tell you anyway.

I was one of the special guests at the first “Adopt-a-Golden Gala” at the Cobb Energy Center this weekend. They say it’s because my dad was the emcee for the event, but I think it’s just because I’m cool.

Me and my fans at the Adopt-a-Golden Gala.

Oh, and check this out: I actually was told I could hang out near the head table! At home sometimes when I smell dinner Mom and Dad tell me to go lay down somewhere, or get out of the kitchen, but here I could totally stay right up front and show off.

Dad says I get to come to the TV station Thursday. These days I’m usually on during The Evening News with my friend Brenda Wood, which is at 7 p.m., so tune in for that show. I’ll see you then!

PS: If you want to help out Adopt-a-Golden Atlanta, here’s their website. Turn your speakers down first if you’re at work, because someone’s barking in the background. I can’t figure out who, and believe me, I’ve done some serious sniffing.

Aw, come on, how could you miss it? Brenda gave me a nice intro and everything!

My friend Shawn, one of the producers, took this picture of me too:

Showing off on my lead.

I’m on almost every Thursday, either at 6:00 or 7:00 in the evening. Sometimes Dad and me hang out with Dennis, and other times we meet people like pet psychics. It just depends.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to make it to the station this week.  Dad said something about it being too cold outside. I didn’t really know what he was talking about until I walked outside in the morning to “do my business”. Boy was it cold!! I didn’t waste much time playing outside. So instead I went inside and played with my sister, Mandy. And chewed on my favorite bone! I had dad take pictures to show you. Doesn’t it look yummy?

I went to see my doctor this week for some shots to make me healthy. Guess what?  I am now five months old and I weigh 38 pounds!!   I keep growing which is neat because I can reach more stuff up high! Especially when I jump up! Although I don’t think mom and dad likes that too much.

Well I’m gonna go finish my bone. Hope I can see you all in the studio next week!

Woof!

Dad and Me!!

WOW!! It has been a busy day! Traffic was horrible as we tried to get to the station on time. But Mom did great and we got there time! It seemed like so much longer, probably because I was really excited and wanted to go see all my friends at 11Alive! It has been THREE WHOLE WEEKS since I was there last…thats, like, more than a month!! (or close to it!)

Everyone noticed how big I have gotten! Holiday dinners helped out with that too! Dad told me I weigh about 35 pounds! After he took this great picture of me and him he said he might not be able to lift me up anymore. Its ok though, I’m sure I’ll always fit on his lap!

While I was there I saw my friend Dennis. He was telling mom and dad I need to learn how to walk on a leash. I don’t know if it sounds fun, but I will try hard to get it down.

Check out the video below, which my editor friends helped get online. Its Dennis talking about how to be consiss…conssistent…consistent (that was hard!) with your dog.

Until next time, Woof!

I’m really looking forward to being on the air on Thursday. My friend Dennis will be at the station too, so if you have questions about helping your friends be good dogs, you can send them from my website.

Dennis and I got to hang out this weekend. I’m working on coming when called, which is important, because sometimes when Dad or the family call me, there are treats. I love treats!

Everyone cross your fingers — or claws — that there won’t be any breaking news on Thursday, because I really want to be on TV again! Dad’s work has so many interesting smells!
