A Dawg's Life

After three snow days, you have to start making up games to play. (Not that I ever get tired of playing in the snow.)

2012-01-20T14:20:00.000-08:00

I'm not the only one enjoying the snow.

2012-01-16T12:15:00.000-08:00

I was on my way to the basketball game yesterday and stopped for a photo op with these snow people by Drumheller Fountain. On my way home after the game, I stopped by again and the people were gone. Where did they go?

Husky basketball is my new favorite thing!

2012-01-05T16:20:00.000-08:00

Get the Bears!

2011-12-29T10:57:00.000-08:00

Let's go! Let's go! (No I can't stop for a photo now.)

2011-12-11T10:58:00.000-08:00

I had a great time at the Apple Cup!

2011-11-27T18:09:00.000-08:00

My handlers - Katy, Kevin and Erin. Thanks for running fast!

On the eve of the Apple Cup, I tried out the new digs at Century Link Field.

2011-11-25T16:19:00.000-08:00

Did you say turkey?

2011-11-20T15:53:00.000-08:00

I'll be right over.

This birthday card speaks my language!

2011-11-14T21:11:00.000-08:00

I've got my hard hat and I'm ready to get to work.

I've been devouring duck all week.

2011-11-04T14:01:00.000-07:00

Friday Nov. 4th is W Day. Wear your purple!

2011-11-02T10:12:00.000-07:00

I'll be in Red Square at noon to celebrate!

We're ready for Homecoming. Bring on the Wildcats!

Woo woo! Go Dawgs! You can quote me on that.

Nice shirt, kid.

2011-09-30T10:25:00.001-07:00

I went to the mountains to look for bears. Just practicing for Saturday when the Dawgs take on the Cal Bears!

2011-09-23T09:28:00.000-07:00

Feels good to be 2-0.

2011-09-12T21:07:00.001-07:00

Husky Lives Here

Picture Day was fun!

2011-08-21T18:18:00.000-07:00

This is my kind of chair!

2011-08-14T11:43:00.001-07:00

Thanks Silver Cloud Hotel for letting me sit in it.

I'm resting up for football season. What are you doing?

2011-08-06T14:03:00.000-07:00

I'll take Washington for $600.

2011-07-24T21:28:00.000-07:00

Did you catch this on Jeopardy a couple of weeks ago?

Happy Fourth of July!

2011-07-04T09:35:00.001-07:00

There's a new top Dawg on campus.

2011-06-27T20:38:00.001-07:00

I would like to welcome our new president, Michael Young, to the UW.

What's all the stink about?

2011-06-13T20:54:00.001-07:00

I checked out the corpse flower in the UW greenhouse today. It bloomed last week. I guess I missed the big stink. Too bad (umm, not really).

Good Luck Class of 2011!

2011-06-12T08:59:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to my graduating student handlers, Daniela Lipscomb (pictured here), Ben Thomas, and Kelsey Keizur (pictured above). I'll miss you.

Happy Memorial Day!

2011-05-30T12:02:00.000-07:00

Hanging out with Husky Legend Sonny Sixkiller.

2011-05-22T16:46:00.000-07:00

At the Silver Lake Winery in Woodinville for the Husky Band Wine Club event.

On deck.

2011-05-06T09:09:00.000-07:00

I'll be at the Husky Women's Softball game this Sunday, May 8th and the Husky Men's Baseball game on Friday, May 13th at Safeco Field. See you there!

I got in the helmet car!

2011-05-02T13:50:00.000-07:00

Spring practice - getting ready for the Spring Game this Saturday!

2011-04-26T19:20:00.000-07:00

You know it's Spring quarter at UW when the cherry trees are blooming in the Quad.

2011-04-10T10:55:00.000-07:00

Dawg alert!

2011-03-21T07:48:00.000-07:00

I was walking down the street the other day and I noticed a picture of myself on a poster with some other Huskies. Nice looking Dawgs! You never know where I'll turn up.

Where are my Dawgs and the Dawg Pack?

2011-03-17T19:24:00.000-07:00

In Charlotte, getting ready to take on the Georgia Bulldogs.
Go Huskies!

Snow is tasty.

2011-03-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

You know what else is tasty? Being Pac-10 tournament champions two years in a row.

Excuse me, I'm in the shower. No pictures please.

2011-03-05T07:44:00.001-08:00

But could you hand me my towel while you're here?

Puget Sound beach.

2011-02-08T20:57:00.000-08:00

When I'm not in the mountains, I love the beach.

Cascade water and snow!

2011-01-23T17:14:00.000-08:00

Climbing the trail to Talapus Lake there are pretty water falls ...

and snow!

"W" is for...

2011-01-09T16:01:00.000-08:00

Kicking off the new year.

2011-01-02T16:34:00.000-08:00

244 days until the next football game! (September 3rd versus Eastern Washington University)

Happy Husky Holidays!

2010-12-19T15:59:00.001-08:00

They're clearing snow from Martin Stadium for the Apple Cup - why? Huskies love running in the snow!

2010-12-03T08:58:00.000-08:00

I'm making a snow angel.

2010-11-24T10:12:00.000-08:00

I'm thinking about what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.

2010-11-22T20:54:00.000-08:00

1. Snow.
2. Being a Dawg.
3. Leftovers. (Okay, so really I'm hopeful more than thankful at this point.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Washington #15 - that's us. And that's my fellow Dawg, Isaiah Thomas.

2010-11-21T16:02:00.000-08:00

Happy Birthday to me!

2010-11-15T07:38:00.000-08:00

Now that's a birthday present for a good dawg!

Way better than cake. Yum.

That's my buddy, Asa. He's all grown up.

2010-11-07T08:20:00.000-08:00

I like to tackle the Ducks at their feet.

2010-11-01T08:11:00.000-07:00

Whenever I get a new toy duck, I always chew the feet off first. That way they can't run the football.

I am a good sport. Happy Halloween!

2010-10-28T18:42:00.000-07:00

Remember - no matter if we win or lose, it's always great to be a Husky.

2010-10-24T08:26:00.000-07:00

The Dawgs are going head to head with the Beavers. Will you be there?

2010-10-15T07:25:00.000-07:00

Hey Harry, I like your new look!

2010-10-10T14:37:00.000-07:00

Chow down to Washington.

2010-09-26T21:11:00.000-07:00

Sure was a lot of red out there.

2010-09-19T08:49:00.000-07:00

Maybe some day I can ride in the helmet car.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are no match for me!

2010-09-16T20:06:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited for my second season!

2010-08-28T18:57:00.000-07:00

I love this place.

Me and some young Jake Locker fans.

Nice to meet you, Nick Montana.

Ryan Tolar is a big Dawg!

Double vision.

2010-08-22T09:24:00.000-07:00

Coach Sark is giving me some pointers for the upcoming season.

2010-08-10T20:36:00.002-07:00

Saturdays Are Husky Football TV Commercial

2010-08-10T20:36:00.000-07:00

On the set of "Saturdays are Husky Football."

2010-07-24T11:01:00.000-07:00

I'm shooting a commerical ...

look for it mid-August.

After the shoot with my director, Branson.

World Cup hangover.

2010-07-11T19:37:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I wish I could wear shoes.

2010-06-20T15:56:00.000-07:00

Happy Graduation to the Class of 2010!

2010-06-06T21:17:00.000-07:00

I'm driving. Where to?

2010-05-26T08:48:00.000-07:00

These are my friends Twiggy, Magoo and Muffin. Twiggy is a little hard to see because, well, she's a twig. Look closely in the back seat behind me. We're all ready for a road trip.

Lovely day to be in the Arboretum!

2010-05-16T15:29:00.000-07:00

Dawg breath.

2010-05-02T20:28:00.001-07:00

See you at the Spring Game this Friday night!

2010-04-25T16:41:00.000-07:00

Dawg fans are the best!

2010-04-18T21:38:00.000-07:00

I made it to the final four in the NCAA Mascot Tournament!

2010-03-28T17:18:00.000-07:00

You can find out more about the tournament at www.petside.com.

Sweet.

2010-03-21T21:38:00.000-07:00

The Huskies are headed to the Sweet 16 and I am sitting here with a sweet young Husky fan.

Meet my new friend, Asa.

2010-03-14T19:32:00.000-07:00

Asa is a real Dawg and his humans are Huskies too. (Asa is named after the first president of the University of Washington, Asa Mercer.)
I'm teaching him my trick "Would you rather be a Cougar or a dead dog?" (Uh oh, I better watch out. This kid might try to steal my job!)
I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

We had a good time celebrating the Husky Men's Basketball team winning the Pac-10 Tournament.

I got a new Dawg tag.

2010-03-07T12:42:00.001-08:00

Want to play ball with me?

2010-03-01T07:28:00.000-08:00

The cat: "No, I don't want to play with your ball. You're not even supposed to be up here. I'm telling. Moooommmm!"

Dubs: "You're just mad because the Husky men and women beat the Cougars this weekend in basketball."

The cat: "Now you're just being mean. I am NOT a Cougar. I'm a housecat."

Go Team USA! I know I look sleepy but it's only because I've been cheering so much.

2010-02-21T20:21:00.000-08:00

Are you part of my pack?

2010-02-15T18:18:00.000-08:00

Me and my pack--my student handler pack. Gotta stay in touch during the off season.

2010-02-07T18:12:00.000-08:00

I'm running with my pack.

2010-01-31T20:20:00.000-08:00

Zooooom.

Sitting with my pack.

The end.

2010-01-24T18:00:00.000-08:00

Look how short my tail was one year ago today when I started my blog. I still have tales to tell so I guess I'll just have to keep doing my blog for ONE MORE YEAR. (It worked for Jake.)

Nice to meet you, Shiva. Don't be intimidated by my fame. I'm a dawg, just like you.

2010-01-19T07:30:00.000-08:00

Shh, I'm hiding.

2010-01-10T13:45:00.000-08:00

You can't see me.

Ah, you found me.

Congratulations to Shiva, winner of the Dubs' Starting Line-up Photo Contest.

2010-01-10T13:39:00.000-08:00

I'm looking forward to meeting you, Shiva!

Happy New Year! My New Year's resolution is to spend more time in the snow. I love snow!

2010-01-02T08:57:00.000-08:00

I got my Christmas wish. (Thanks Santa and Jake!) I also got a new "chew resistant" bed. I think Jake will turn out to be a lot better than the bed.

2009-12-28T09:31:00.000-08:00

I told Santa that all I want for Christmas is Jake Locker for one more year.

The win against Cal made me bowl eligible.

2009-12-06T07:46:00.001-08:00

It's cold and frosty outside just the way I like it. Those Cal Bears are going into hibernation when they get to Husky Stadium this Saturday.

2009-12-03T09:39:00.000-08:00

Yay! Dawgs reclaim Apple Cup!

In honor of the Apple Cup this weekend, I have a trick to show you.

2009-11-27T07:36:00.000-08:00

This is how Huskies feel about Cougars. (Watch the video and make sure you have the sound on.)

"Would you rather be a Cougar or a dead dog?" Watch the video to find out the answer. I live to be a DAWG!

Happy Thanksgiving! I can't wait to eat pumpkin pie.

2009-11-26T10:38:00.000-08:00

This week I had a photo shoot - all in a day's work for a mascot.

2009-11-22T18:17:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-15T17:30:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-13T20:03:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-11T14:40:00.000-08:00

I helped rake leaves today.

2009-11-08T17:52:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-02T07:43:00.000-08:00

I am going as Count Dubula for Halloween.

2009-10-30T07:23:00.000-07:00

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

So many pumpkins to choose from ...

2009-10-27T19:05:00.000-07:00
