I am 1 year old today. I'm about to gobble up my birthday cake!

I think I smell a Beaver. Grrrrr.... Go Huskies - beat OSU!

I visited the new Medal of Honor memorial on the UW campus. Thank you veterans.

I helped rake leaves today.

The next home game is the Apple Cup - I'm starting my hunt for Cougars early!

I am going as Count Dubula for Halloween.

I'm wearing my costume--now where are my treats?

So many pumpkins to choose from ...

I bit the head off this duck. I'm saving the rest for Saturday.

Here's a picture of me in action on the field. I'm still celebrating the win against the Wildcats on Saturday.

I'm good at taming Wildcats (and fat cats).

So close!

Welcome to Fall Quarter - I'm looking forward to seeing all of the new Huskies on campus!

On Saturday I went hiking.

And then I watched the football game.

Huskies 16, USC 13. I'm proud to be a DAWG!

What a great weekend!

Friday - got my picture with the band and cheer squad.

Saturday - got my first win as Husky mascot. Sunday - got to run on the beach at Edmonds.

I bark for Sark!

I was too busy watching my first football game to get any pictures of myself during the LSU game. Too bad we lost but the Huskies looked great! It was really fun to run out of the tunnel in front of the team. See you at the Idaho game this Saturday!

Remember this video of me? I bark for Sark!

I can still fit in my tailgate chair (barely!) -- I'm ready for the big game tonight!

I had a great time at Raise the Woof and I even met Harry the Husky. He smells funny. He doesn't smell like a dog but I know he's a DAWG. Evening Magazine was there filming me too so check it out and you can see how much fun I had at my first official Husky event.

Are you ready for some football?

I conquered Tiger Mountain this weekend to get ready for LSU on Sept. 5th.

Cooling off in Margaret Lake.

After a hike in the Snoqualmie pass area, I needed to refresh a bit.

Another summer road trip - look at me in the Columbia River at Crescent Bar.

Just one month to the first game--gotta practice in my uniform.

Thanks to Designer Duds for Dogs for my personalized bandana.

I wonder if I can catch a boat over to Husky Stadium?

Do you have your tickets to come see me yet?

Single-game tickets to watch the Huskies go on sale Monday, July 27 at 8:30 a.m. through the Husky Ticket Office, located in Graves Hall on the UW campus, by calling 206/543-2200, or by visiting GoHuskies.com.

I'm growing up and filling out to get ready for football season.

"It's so good to touch the green green grass of home."

After the road trip with my humans, I went to mascot training camp. My humans miss me and hope that I'll be home soon.

A summer road trip - part 2

This is me at a vineyard in Walla Walla. My humans like wine but I know that grapes are not good for dogs so I just posed for a picture to be nice.
We went to a winery and I had a lot of fun playing with the dogs that live there. One of them has her picture on a wine label and it's called "Four Legged White." If I had my picture on a wine label, it would be called "Four Legged Purple and Gold." Do they make wine in gold?

I also met some horses on my trip and I wanted to play with them. I did a play bow but they just kept eating the grass. Oh well.

A summer road trip - part 1

Here I am at the Whitman Mission National Historic Site near Walla Walla, WA. My humans love history so they thought this was interesting. Me, not so much. I'm a dog. I live in the moment so I was pretty bored until....

I saw a wagon and I got the idea that I could pull the wagon. That is just what I am meant to do - pull heavy things. So then I started to think the trip was pretty fun.

Congratulations UW Class of 2009!

Another national championship - way to go Husky Men's Crew team!

The national champions banner will look great in the softball stadium.

It's so hot. Maybe I'll go for a swim.

Congratulations to the Husky Softball team -- off to the College World Series!

Too big for the cat door!

Hey, whose helmet is this?

It's Paul Homer's helmet! He's big. Can't wait to see him run.

Down-stay at a distance. It's harder than you think! My trainer was really far away but I had Fraser to help me.

Notice how big I'm getting - I'm almost as big as Fraser now.

What's my favorite color of tulip?

Purple AND Gold!

I had a great time at the Spring Game. I can't wait for September 5th!

Here's my trainer's report on how I did on Saturday.
http://blog.seattlepi.com/caninechat/archives/167357.asp

I walked the track with my trainer and student handlers (in training). I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with my student handlers.

I thought the touchdown siren was really loud at first but now I really love that sound. I know I will get to hear it a lot in the future!

I practiced sitting and staying while we all listened to the trainer talk about how smart I am!

When I got home from the game, I was really tired so I had a nice long nap. Good thing I won't be such a young pup during football season. I want to be able to stay awake for the whole game not to mention tailgating!

I "helped" in the garden today.

What do you mean you didn't want a hole here? This is a perfect place for me to dig a hole.
Phew--that was hard work. We won't talk about the fact that I had a bath yesterday.

This is my cat. I taught him how to sit.

Hey, remember me? I've grown since you last saw me.

It's actually more comfortable than it looks.

Football practice!

I went to football practice and I got to meet Coach Sark and Coach Holt. The Huskies look great! Can't wait for the Spring Game on April 25th.

This is the first time I've seen the cherry blossoms on campus. They sure are pretty but I think they should be purple instead of pink!

I'm back from spring break. Did you miss me?

I went to Camp Fraser for a few days during spring break. I got to play a lot with my old friend Fraser and my new friend Chase.

I packed my Husky bed of course!

I let Chase try out my Husky bed and he liked it.

To find out more about Camp Fraser and my trainer, Diane Rich, go to http://www.spokesdog.com/.

I have a stick.

This is where I sleep.

Sometimes I just hang out and chew on a toy. I like my bed.

I'm so fast you can't even see me!

Are they friendly ducks or Oregon Ducks?

Have you noticed how big my paws are?

Let's play!

I had a fun time playing with Beau the Basset Hound. Pretty soon I'm going to be a lot bigger than him (but my ears will always be smaller than his).

All stretched out.

Dubs is celebrating March Madness. Go Huskies!

Dubs would like to wish all of the students good luck on final exams!

Dubs enjoys the snow falling while the rest of us dream about warmer weather.

Woof!

Dubs says, "Where's my treat?"

What's the bear looking at?

Dubs has a new toy that releases kibble when he plays with it. How cool is that? Plus it's purple!

Is this an igloo?

Dubs has been busy celebrating the men's basketball Pac 10 championship this weekend.

Mid-week trip out of town.

Dubs has a drink at the Roslyn Cafe.

Dubs meets the Go 2 Guy

Dubs has his picture taken by Jim Moore during his interview in Saturday's PI with Jim's dog, Willie. (Note to Willie from Dubs: If you can learn to act like a real Dawg, maybe we can play together some time.)

Dubs knew he was going to be misquoted in that last comment in the article so he tried to chew up Jim's notepad. Dubs would never say anything negative about his team. The Huskies never roll over!

Nice win in overtime--Go Huskies!

Yay! Snow!

Dubs is trying to get into the business school.

Why won't this dog play with me?

Check out the tails.
I may be small now but I'm going to be a big dog some day.

I can be a statue too.

Dubs finds out where his name comes from.

Dubs is wearing his new Huskies bandana with his name on it. Of course he looks great in purple.

Downward Facing Dog - Dubs stretches before his morning walk.

Just chillin'...

Dubs went to the mountains to play in the snow.

Licking snow off of his nose.

Dubs takes his doggie mentor on a tour of Husky stadium. They are getting ready to practice running onto the field.

Dubs is learning to shake hands.

Dubs would like to state for the record that he was marking his territory in the end zone. Go Huskies!

Media day in Husky Stadium. Dubs loved all of the cameras and attention, not to mention all of the treats.

Dubs LOVES to eat the snow. He stopped just long enough for a photo.

Dubs had a bath today.

Dubs in the tub.Dubs under the hair dryer.

Looking good - and he knows it.

In training with a doggie mentor.

A trip to the vet - Dubs weighs 20 lbs 6 oz.

Reading the sports page - football recruits and softball preview.

Dubs is listening to the Husky Marching Band CD. The "Hooked on Classics" track really seems to get his attention.

Dubs needs to be groomed but he would rather chew on the brush right now.

Super Bowl Sunday

Dubs got a new toy today. (He's not spoiled at all.)

So many toys...so sleepy...

Who needs a dog bed anyway? He would rather be on the cool tile, catching a draft from the chimney.

Such a big bed for just a little pup. He'll grow into it!

Breakfast in 60 seconds

Dubs loves it when the Husky Marching Band CD comes on because it means he gets to eat. He can finish off a cup of kibble during Vict'ry for Washington--less than a minute!

Trying out the tailgate chair

Nice purple leash!

Just like a baby...he needs a lot of sleep!
