What a great day!

Wow - I love my mom!

We had such a great day!
First - those people I was telling you about? Sugar Ray's mom and dad? They came to visit and they brought COW HEADS for us to munch on. Mom put them in the freezer but they were really BIG. I can't wait to get some. Mom says we might have to share but no way am I sharing with Bailey.

Then mom took us for a ride in the car and we went for a hike to a place called Bamberton and we walked for miles without seeing any other people.

Sometimes we heard rustles in the bushed but we never saw any people at all. And we could see the ocean and the Gulf Islands and eagles and it was really cool. Mom was really pleased, too, because none of us rolled in anything fragrant. She doesn't like that - maybe she has environmental sensitivities.

Mom brought some cheese along on the hike and so we all stayed close by incase she gave us some cheese. I got LOTS because I'm the good boy.

Then mom was making soup and she let us have some of the meat off the bones she was using to make stock. It was duck! Yum!

Then Mom went out again (she forgot to take the movies back the first time) and she took Bela with her and Bailey had to go in his crate because he has epilepsy and she doesn't want him to get hurt if he has a seizure while she's out but I got to hang out on the couch. I had a nice nap.

I have the best mom ever! I think I'll give her a big sloppy kiss!

Twice in one week!

You're not going to believe this but mom took us to the beach yesterday, too.
We swam and swam and swam. It was great. I got so wet that when I got out of my crate (I have to ride in my crate in the van because mom says I jump around too much - I thought she needed my help driving because she might miss the turnoff for the beach without me) at home the whole bottom of the crate was full of water.

Bela rolled in something stinky and mom made her stay in her crate all afternoon because she said it was too gross and she was too tired to give Bela a bath. I thought she smelt good - like a dead thing or something!

So usually on Saturdays mom sleeps in and we dogs have to just hang around waiting for some attention. Sometimes she sleeps in till 8 o'clock! Jeez.

Well today was different. She got up really early and put the crates in the van. I helped by jumping around and yelping with excitement - mom really likes it when I show how much I appreciate what she's doing.

Bailey kept getting in the way and jumping in the van when he wasn't supposed to. He's so dumb!

Then we all got in the van together and went to Canadian Tire. Mom bought SIX tennis balls. That's when things started to look really good!

Then we drove to the ocean. As soon as we started to get close Bailey jumped in the front seat because he was excited about smelling the ocean. Mom made him go in the back again. He's so dumb!

When we got to the park by the ocean it looked like we were the only dogs around. But soon there was a really nice husky who wanted to play with Bela. And then Bailey barked at another lab and his owner almost tripped over Bailey. He's so dumb!

We played ball for like HOURS in the field and then we played ball for more HOURS in the ocean. And then we met a nice rottweiller who was trying to bury his ball in the rocks. He was almost as dumb as Bailey!

Then we met a nice little border terrier and although he was young and annoying I liked him anyway because he reminded me of my old girlfriend. His owners told my mom that we were all really well behaved. She laughed. I don't know why because we were being really good and always bringing the ball right back. Even Bailey was being good except for that one barking incident.

Then mom brought us home and we had a BIG lunch and slept all afternoon. Even mom had a nap on the couch. It was such a great day!
