Mr. Naps

Happy Holidays!

Basel says "Thank you" to his girlfriend, Zuna, for the beautiful hugs & kisses collar that she sent him for Christmas! Basel is a lucky boy!!!!

My favorite picture of Zuna and Basel from this summer.

Basel TV

Basel watches and listens to TV. He lost a favorite squeaky toy recently. When he hears the video of himself paying with it on my notebook, he runs over to me to check underneath or behind the screen looking for it while I play the video. ...maybe Santa will bring him a new squeaky chicken.....

New friends

Basel and I were having a lazy Saturday afternoon, out for a little walk. We ran into Pru and Dylan, then a guy passing by stopped for directions and introduced us all to his bull mastiff, Clementine. They all goofed around for a bit, and had a great time. We all hope that Clementine comes back for a visit.

After Clementine left, we also saw Clem and Winny and Smiley who was here for a visit! Such a pleasant surprise. By then my hands were to frozen to operate the camera, so...no pictures.

Afterward, Mr. Naps parked it in front of the fire place again. Is someone forming a habit!?

Photos from Peg's latest visit

Basel LOVES my mom. He couldn't get enough of Peg. He followed her everywhere and slept next to her bed. He didn't want to let her out of his sight and can't wait for her next visit.

Basel kisses to Peg

Someone had too much coffee this morning! haha. Or maybe that was just kibble....

Halloween

We're a little slow getting new pictures up in October and November...my notebook was very sick with a bad virus and not cooperating at all. Hopefully we'll keep up with Basel's blog a little better now that its been repaired. (Thanks IT guys!)

Basel wore his life jacket and went to a Halloween party as a life guard to his friend's Tea, Neil and Pru's house. Another guest thought he needed a toupe. Basel sure does look handsome (??).....

Steffen and Basel relaxing at home.

Basel Y Toro

Bridget sent a box with some presents for Basel

Basel y el toro!

Basel isn't quite sure what to think of Toro....

Basel at Admiral's Hill Park

Basel and Steffen looking out at the harbor under the Tobin Bridge. Basel loved the park at Admiral's Hill. The first time we met a Swissy, it was right in this park several years ago while watching an outdoor play. We fell in love with him while he goofed around with all the people picnicing and watching the play. Now we have our own big goofball!

Basel in Boston

Basel went for a nice long walk downtown in Boston, along waterfront, greenway and financial disttrict last weekend.



Steffen an Basel overlooking the channel.
Basel wanted to stop for tea at the new Intercontinental hotel.

Overlooking the Children's Museum. Basel says "where're the seagulls"?

Resting in the shade on the greenway.


Wow, that's a really big Swissy shower!

Just like the landscaping sprinklers at home!

Cooper, Beluga and Harrison visit Basel

Stephanie and Brett brought Cooper to visit Basel. We found Steve with Beluga and Harrison out for a walk and invited them over to see everyone. Cooper was so happy to have all his friends at the lofts for a happy reunion!
Cooper and Beluga play tug.

Basel snuggling up to Steph....

Three happy boys resting.

Three-dog tug

The boys getting tired....

Is this king of the mountain? Or is that Steve on the bottom of the puppy pile? Harrison looks like he got the highly covetted snuggle spot.

Tired Basel...dreaming of his friends hoping they all come over again to play soon!
