Dis is da day where Mom gives me a BATH (although I do not care too much for that part) and a haircut and all other things that go with being a Yorkie.

Here I am BEFORE my bath and haircut.

After da bath is my favorite part. 

Mom lets me go crazy in da towel.  She think I am rubbin to get dry, but really I am smearin my face all over to try to get rid of da CLEAN smell.  Who wants to smell CLEAN anyways???!!??  Give me a pile of gecko poop to roll around in, and I will be MUCH HAPPIER!!

I do love the blow~dry part too.  Mommy does very well makin sure I stay warm, but not too hot.  Da only part I hate is when she try to do my face.  But usually, if I hold relatively still and be a good boy, that part is over before I know it, and den I end up lookin like dis:

And now my VERY FAVORITE PART of Spa Day!!!  Da HAIRCUT!!

I bet alot of Yorkies do not like da haircut, but I LOVE it.  I hop up onto da platform an don’t move a muscle, while Mommy razors away all da hot stinkin’ hair.  Da more she take off, da better.  In fact, if there was a “Bald” setting I would tell her use it.  I do not like hair, I want to be as nekked as possible.  Mom says good thing I am not a GIRL yorkie.  Since I am a boy, I can get away with lookin like a little rat more easily.

So, here I give you da final product of a Mommy Spa Day.  I can finally see again, an I feel WONDERFUL!!!

How rude, ya?

Well, I am not so upset because although they were not here, they didn’t forget about me.  No Way!  When they came home, they brought me a new little buddy.  It is Mr. Mooooooose.

Mom and Dad get to see plenty moose when they go to Utah, and this trip was no different.  There was actually a moose right along the snowboard trail snacking on some bushes. 

Mom thought I should have a moose of my own, so this is my Birthday present.  I love him.  He is soft and cuddly, an I know just where to squeeze him to make a loud “Moooooooooooooo…. Mooooooooooooo…. Mooooooooo” sound come out!!! 

Drives mom and dad crazy after the 50th time or so… That’s the whole idea, isn’t it?

Thanks for da cool moose Mom and Dad, but no thanks for not being here to help me celebrate my Birthday….. I forgive you tho, cuz that’s the kinda Yorkie I am.

Me an my new bud, Mr. Moooooose.

 AAALLLLOOOHHHHHAAAAAA !!!!!!

Da water is da most BEAUTIFUL shades of aqua and turquoise.  We never get tired of looking at it. 

It helps inspire Mom to go home and paint.

Isn’t dis just gorgeous?  I can’t believe I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful place.

After we walk, we usually just sit and veg for a while.  Watching da waves,  almost getting hypnotized as they roll in to shore.  

There is dis wonderful outrigger canoe that Mommy an I just love.

C’Mon Mom!  Let’s paddle to da South Pacific. It shouldn’t take too long. 

I can be known as “Bryster Pup~i~tala de Tahiti”

ALOHA FROM HAWAII !!!!

Hope you have a wonderful day.

Mommy don’t let me get too close, I wanted to go over an say “Aloha Mr. Monk Seal” but Mom say they are endangered an we gotta give them their space.  At least mom snapped a pic of me with Mr. Monk, that was pretty cool.

While hiking, Mom and Dad came upon many cute little creatures they call Pikas.  They are smaller than me, about 6-8 inches long, and weigh about 6 oz. or so.  Although many people think they are a big funny-looking mouse, or maybe a hamster, they are actually the smallest member of da rabbit family.  “What’s Up Doc?” Sorry, I couldn’t resist!

When mom and dad would stop to take a hiking break, they would usually find a little Pika scurrying around the trail between the boulders, collecting wildflowers, and carrying them off to their secret stash for winter munching.  Pikas make a funny bird-like scream noise, and after mom and dad finally realized it was Pikas making that sound, not a bird, they would smile when they heard it.  They say da Pikas reminded them of ME.  They had funny personalities an was always on da go…go……go!  They were glad da pikas was around to keep them company SINCE I WAS NOT!!!

Here is a PIKA:

Another cute little critter that mom and dad really like is da Pine Marten, which they also call me. It has very soft, shiny fur, and lives in da snowy forests.

Here is a Pine Marten:

When they came home from their great hiking adventure, they brought me back some little critters.  I now have a pet Pika and a pet Pine Marten. We like to hang out on da warm bridge that overlooks da fish pond.

Nothing beats a nice sunny day with nothing to do but veg with your buddies.

  They are great little guys and they like to go play out in da yard with me, although, I always have to keep a close eye on Mr. Pika, he likes to wander off and try to pick all Mommies flowers!

“Now you get back here and play with us, Mr. Pika, an stop eating all Mommies Flowers!”

Mr. Pika usually lives in higher elevations than Hawaii, more like 8,000 - 13,000 ft.  So, sometimes he gets a little annoyed with da warm sea level altitude and goes in search of cooler spots.

I guess we had enough sun.  Will make Mr. Pika happy (before he start to throw a screaming temper tantrum) an hang out in da nice cool shade da rest of da afternoon.

“Here, Pine Marten, buddy, I will take you to a cooler spot.”

“Hey Mr. Pika!!  Where you stay?  I think he over there in da cool shade, Let’s go over there.”

Pine Martens… Pikas….. and Pups….. OH MY!!!

 I do think I am evewy bit as cute as da Pine Marten:

An lookie ma.  I can even be a PIKA!  See!

Den, I find out, they went HIKING on Maui.  HIKING.  One of my very favorite things in da whole world to do.  How could dey not take me along?  I do love to stay at Gwanmaws an Gwampaws an dey sure do spoil me, but once I found out dat Mom and Dad was on a HIKING adventure, I had to give dem da “Bry Pout”.  I am not one to pout, an I am never ever in a bad mood.  (I wasn’t even really mad here, but I just make like I was so so sad, so they feel more bad - hee hee.  Here is an example of da fake sad pouty face I put on for them).

Pitiful, ya??

So anyways, I wasn’t so upset after Mom explained to me that they wanted to take me, but the place they went was a National Park an NO DOGS ALLOWED.  How very rude of those Park peoples.  I am so well behaved, maybe they could have made an exception?  I guess not. 

So, Mom and Dad went to Haleakala National Park on da Island of Maui.  It is a huge dormant volcano, an they spent 4 days hiking across it.  Mom just finished writing up a blog about it, an I wanted to share it with you all so you can see what a really neat and beautiful place that is. (Of which I wouldn’t know first hand because I didn’t get to see it for myself.)  Let me give a little more pouty….

Anyways, paw-eeze take the time to visit this link an see da fun mom and dad have

WITHOUT their little Super Yorkie who LOVES TO HIKE !!! Whaahhhhh!!!

“MOM & DAD’s VOLCANIC HAWAIIAN ADVENTURE (without da BryGuy)”

The trail is all uphill, but is not TOO strenuous, and not alot of climbing over rocks and stuff.  It is pretty mellow and cool with lots of pine tree coverage, and we seen plenty neat birds along da trail (They was too fast for me to get any pictures of them though - Dang!).  We weren’t planning on hiking to the very top of da ridge, but rather about 2/3rds of da way up.  There is a nice spot we know of, and Mom and Dad wanted to try out their new backpacking stove and cook dinner up there.

The tippy top of da mountain (you can’t even see it in dis picture) was in complete black rain clouds!  Oh no!  But, we weren’t planning on going all the way up, so we might be ok.  The air on the hike up was SO muggy, it must have been about 99.99999% humidity.  The most you can get before rain.  Mom and Dad was drippin’ sweat, but lucky for me, I don’t sweat.  On we went, up the trail. 

At one point, mom kinda freaked for a second because she thought she saw a HUGE SNAKE in a tree up ahead!!  Then, I reminded her Hawaii don’t have snakes.  Upon closer examination, we found out it was a root of some other plant wrapped around da tree. 

Finally, we made it to da area where we wanted to eat, but it was really windy cuz it’s kinda up on a ridge.  Mom didn’t like it, so we got to do something real fun and go OFF TRAIL lookin’ for a more sheltered spot!  And I, BryGuy, Little SuperYorkie, got to lead da way!

“FOLLOW ME, MOM AND DAD !  I will find us da perfect spot!”

Here is a little trail I found after some intense searching.

I made them follow me thru all kinds of brush an mini-Norfolk pines an they probably thinkin’ “Where is this little dude goin?”.  But then, we came to this rather large pine needle covered clearing!  I did it!  I found da perfect picnic spot!

It was totally sheltered from da wind, and we even had a semi-ocean view!  Unreal!  Dad got da alcohol stove set up an started cookin da Johnsonville Brats. 

Ouuuhhhh dey smell SO GOOD!  An after a long uphill hike, I WAS HUNGRY!  Mom got da buns an sauerkraut ready (I am not a fan of da Sauerkraut - it smells like a FUT to me!!!) an finally da big Wienerdogs was finished!

“Ouuu Mommy, dat sure smells good.  Can I have a small bite?  Paw-eeze??”

We grinded!  Mom let me have some of da Johnsonville - yum! yum!

It started to get cold out an we was hopin’ it wouldn’t start raining yet.  Sunset would be soon and we wanted to finish eating before it started to get dark out.  Mom let me wrap up in her fleece jacket an I was snug as a bug in a rug.

Soon, we were on our way back down da mountain.  Dis way of da hike was easier since it was all downhill.  It started getting dark out, an mom and dad had to use their headlamps.  I didn’t need one for me, I have super-yorkie night vision built into my perfect little package!

“C’mon guys, da trail is this way.  I will lead you back down…. no problem!”

  Only thing I was a little scared of in da dark was running into da Hawaiian Obake (ghosts).  I heard plenty stories of several different Obake, especially in dis area.  We heard a couple really strange noises, but mom said it was just birds an not to worry.

“Hey MOM! Did you hear that?  Was that Obake?  Huh? Huh? Huh?”

I stayed close to mom and dad da whole way down, an soon we was back to da trailhead. (Whew!) 

We drove back home an I fell asleep on da way.  Luckily, I didn’t have to help Mom and Dad clean up all da hiking stuff afterwards.  I sure am one lucky little pup!

What a fun hike, an da Johnsonville made it yummy!!!
