Happy Howlidays!

There's no place like mom...

Life is beautifurrl!

Dimitri here: Whoa!! It's been months since our last update! Sebastian spends all of his time primping in the mirror (a la Narcissus), and I knew he would forget to post. Grrr. Anyway, my apawlogies for our absence.

I'd say things have been good. Mom and Dad are pretty busy with school and work, and we've pretty much gotten used to my aunt and cousin living with us. Of course, I tend to make my authority known immediately. Sebastian, on the other hand, is such a suck-up! He is constantly trying to get into pictures with Connor and kisses him all the time. Ga-ross! The only person I kiss is my momma. And my dad. Okay, okay, fine. I've been known to kiss Connor on occasion, but ONLY to assert my dominance. Trust me. It's just part of my method.

Notice how I shun the camera while Sebastian craves it.

Mom's been doing some research and switched our food. She was pretty upset when she found out what a low grade food she'd been feeding us (Eukanuba) and found a much more healthful alternative. We've officially switched to Innova EVO.


It tastes pretty good. It is grain-free, so Sebastian and I definitely dig that. Mom still thinks she's been a horrible momma for feeding us Eukanuba for the past 2 years, but I assured her that I am not picky about my food. As far as I'm concerned, I live in a gingerbread house and am content snacking on walls or furniture from time to time.

Mom and Dad promised to take us somewhere fun this weekend, so I'm sure Sebastian will have plenty of pictures (of himself) to share the next time he posts. Well, it's pretty late, so I better hit the sack silk duvet. Nighty-night!

Superdog!

Dimitri here: Boy, a lot has happened since our last post! We moved into a bigger place, so now my kingdom is even bigger than it was before... as it should be. It will be harder to supervise my subordinates (Mom, Dad, Sebastian, Aunt Jessica, and Cousin Connor), but I'm up to the challenge!

Most importantly, I turned 2 years old and had a rockin' pawty. My aunt baked Superman cupcakes for me, and I got a lot of great presents... as I should. As usual, stinky Sebastian whined the entire time. He HATES when all eyes are on me... as they should be. Enjoy the pictures and thanks to all who came!

Tastes like chicken

Sebastian and Dimitri here: Mom took us to the doctor for a routine checkup, and to our utter embarrassment, she told Dr. Simmons that we have awful breath!!! How humiliating!!

So now Mom's been using some contraption in our mouth and rubbing it repeatedly against our teeth - SO annoying. The plus side is that the pasty stuff tastes like chicken.

And a special shoutout to our favorite guy in the world... our pawpaw! Hi, Pop!!!

Sleepy Day

Sleepy Sebastian


Sleepy Dimitri


Sleepy cousin, Connor

Ruffing it at Town Lake

Sebastian and Dimitri here: Man, are we pooped! Today we tried to maul some cyclists, attack some innocent children, sniff the excrement of other animals, tangle our parents with their leashes, pee on as many blades of grass as possible, and we even made a good effort to eat a couple of ducks. So, basically... the usual day for us.

Here we are walking Dad:

And here's a video showing off how redogulously good-looking we are:

A face only a mother could love...

Dimitri here: Sorry it's been so long since our last update. My aunt and cousins (one human, one canine) came in to visit, so Sebastian and I were busy pestering them.

In any event, back to the topic at hand. My brother sure talks a lot of trash. I don't sweat it, though. I know that I'm the cute one; I always have been and always will be. Sebastian has to whine for attention, but me - I get whatever I want whenever I want without even asking. That's right. I'm the favorite. Don't get me wrong - I love my brother, but this jealousy thing needs to stop. Though, I understand his insecurities. Afterall, his celebrity look-alike is... how do you saaaay... ugly.

Left: Scrat from Ice Age 1&2 Right: Sebastian

If loving myself is wrong, then I don't wanna be right.

Sebastian here: I've been waiting for Dimitri to do something interesting so that I could post about it, but it turns out I'd have to wait a long time for that to happen. So instead, I'm going to post about my favorite subject in the whole entire world - me.

Then:

Now:

As you can see, I was quite the looker in my younger days. So, not much has changed. A lean 2lbs. 4oz., I was quite popular with the ladies. Mom still won't let me date, though. I guess she's come to the realization that I did the first time I saw myself in a mirror - no one will ever be good enough for me. In any event, I just wanted to share some pictures to illustrate what perfection is. I would post a picture of my brother, but they say the camera adds 10lbs. and, well... I just don't think your monitor is big enough.

Anything he can do I can do better. (Way better)

Dimitri here: Man, oh, man! Sebastian is a WIMP! Mom was playing with us earlier, and he was just growling and barking at Mr. Goose. I mean, c'mon. I know he's not as strong, courageous, athletic - heck, while we're at it - handsome, charming, or witty as I am, but sometimes you've just got to get in there and fight. I win everything, everytime. That's right, Sebastian. I said it. IIIIII'm the winner in this family. And you... well, you're just a wiener.

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

Sebastian here: Well, I'm officially 2! Mom and Dad threw me a great SpongeBob-themed birthday party (I had to share my party with my uncle, because it was his birthday, too). I'm as pleased as punch with all the goodies I got, and the cake and pizza were delish! I'm sure Dimitri is going to try and outdo me when his birthday comes around in June, but it's pretty much impossible to upstage me.

A few pictures from the party:

What's in the bag, Dad??


Mom said NO.


The aftermath

Birthday Recap: I'm pawsitively awesome!

¡Hola!

That's me - Sebastian. I was born on March 16, 2005 in Conroe, Texas. I moved to Houston, Texas when I was about 12 weeks old. I'm pretty much the coolest dog in the world. Dimitri (my stinky little brother) tries to upstage me all the dog-gone time, but I put him in his place. I know what you're thinking - yeah, he is bigger than I am and yeah, he has a wicked sidekick, but he knows that I'm the boss. Anyway, we relocated to Austin, Texas and I love it here! I enjoy burrowing, socks, cheese, cuddling, sleeping, long walks, and modern British literature. Just kidding - I hate walks.

First off, I just want to expose that the picture my brother is trying to pass off as recent is soooo not. That picture was taken probably a year ago. You should just accept the fact that you're getting older, Sebastian! Gosh! Anyway, I'm Dimitri. I was also born in Conroe, Texas but I'm 3 months younger than my old fart of a brother. This is a picture of me when Mom and Dad first brought me home (I'm the black one). I was a little shy at first, but now I'm the king of the castle. I enjoy food, stealing toys from Sebastian, food, running, food, sidekicking Sebastian, food, making Sebastian jealous, and food. Sometimes I come across as a bully, but I'm really just assertive... plus, Sebastian doesn't deserve to play with my toys. Any of them. Ever.
