Water dog

Ollie gets his swim on in the clear Hawaiian ocean. This is his exit swim as he heads towards dryer turf.

Goldilocks

Finding that perfect position on those lumpy pillows can be a little tricky for Mr. Oliver. Here, he is demonstrating his quest to find that perfect sleeping position. Success!

Inter-Island Dog of Mystery

Sorry i've been away from some time now. We're back in the game to all of our ollie-lovin' followers! Here's a favorite from the plane ride on his latest trip to Maui. He's a very curious chihuahua who likes to be in the know, but who doesn't? Almost time to see Koa!

Bedroom Eyes

Late at night when the all-nighters keep me up, I can just turn a shoulder and see my handsome little chi-hua gaze up at me. He's a great accessory to any stressful situation-- I highly recommend one (:

Hot dog

All Smiles!

Oliver was all smiles as he soaked up the sunshine in our hammock out back.  He does love his warmth! 

Ollie's New Friend

Mr. Oliver loves hanging out with his quickly-growing baby cousin Jove. Usually Oliver is timid around young humans. At the beach he will bark at any young beach goer who gets a little too close for his comfort, but he seems to really love this little guy!  *Thanks for the photos, cousin Janna!

Diamond Head

Oliver came with us to Diamond head for an afternoon surf. He was very interested in all the surfer's coming in and out of the water-- he watched the ocean closer than a lifeguard would!  Leaving the parking lot we saw a little reminder to "please love," so I thought I'd pass it on <3

Ollie and his Elephant

Oliver's favorite toy is a stuffed elephant he got for a christmas present. It's kind of like a security blanket-- he brings it everywhere! He was a bottle-fed baby, because his mama couldn't handle two nursing babies, so sometimes it almost looks like he's nursing on his elephant. It's missing it's tail from all the heavy wear and tear, but Ollie doesn't mind!

Laundry Day!

Oliver likes to help us with the laundry.  Sometimes he likes to run away with the clothes we're folding so we can chase after him.  Rascal puppy!

Howlin' at the moon!

Sometimes, if we're really lucky, we can get Ollie to howl along with our whistling. Lately, we've hit a lucky streak and we were fortunate to document it. He's a very sweet boy.  

Beach Daze

His favorite kind of days consist of hanging out at the beach. He gets to dig in sand, scan the beach for other dogs, watch over his sleeping humans, and get sand all over the towels. Life is pretty sweet.

The Staring Game

It's kind of like starring down an end of a barrel, but in this case it's a chihuahua. Guess who won?

Laser Beam Eyes!

I'm thinking about getting Ollie some stunner shades so he can mask his super powers.

Oliver Meets Jove

Ollie was a little suspicious of meeting the newest addition to the family, baby boy Jove, but we're sure they're going to be best friends really soon.

THE FLASH!

Oliver does not much love the bright flash on my new camera.
