Grunt's Adventures

Bears!

Mom took us for a walk early today. It's supposed to get pretty hot and she didn't want us to miss our walk. So we went down the driveway and to the right. There's more shade that way. We got around the bend to where there are some hunt camps. Me and Darcy were on the scent of something good in the weeds when mom noticed something moving. At first she thought it was a black lab. Then she realized, the movements were wrong. Then she saw another the same size and a bigger one.

Mom said, come on guys lets go see the horses and turned us around. Well alright. Little did we know it was 2 smaller bears, that were bigger than me and Darcy and an adult bear! :0 Mom knows the rules, leave, quietly and quickly. Especially when there are young ones!

So we walked down to the cemetary. I'm on high alert when we get there. Those silly chipmonks mess with me! I hear them chirping and once in a while I see one run! Uggg! If only!!

Now there are a bunch of fat rabbits around the house. They won't go into my playground so I can chase them! I stand on the deck and stare them down, I think they're laughing at me!

Vacation is Getting Close

Mom took us for a walk today. Then she gave me a bath and then Darcy a bath. I was a bit nervous about walking into the shower. But mom walked in ahead of me and gave me a nudge. Once I got my first cookie I was good! Mom gives great massages during our baths! Once I was clean I went outside and had the zoomies! Big ol' pibble grins! :) Then it was Darcy's turn. I layed outside the bathroom quietly waiting for her. When she got done we both went outside for zoomies...
Then mom put my food into a container. She was counting off the days and adding a scoop of food to the container. Then she got my bully sticks in a bag and put them in with the food. Next came our cookies we each get a bag! Yippee!! It's getting closer. Vacation. I can feel it!
Mom talked to Aunt Jackie about another trainer that Aunt Jackie found for Bootes. Turns out they use e-collars for agility. Geez! Mom's trying to help her find someone who doesn't use e-collars in her area. She cannot believe how hard it is to find someone who doesn't do positive training.

I did a big-boy pee!!

Yup, found some flowers and I actually lifted my leg to pee on them! Mom was like hey, flowers - what a good boy! :) Mom and dad went to the Stinkfest today. They weren't gone long, but they did bring back some amazing smelling food! :) Mom talked to Aunt Jackie today. She took Bootes to his first puppy class. Aunt Jackie said that the instructor put a shock collar on Bootes! She was stunned! Bootes sat down, facing away from her at the fence with his head down. Aunt Jackie took the shock collar off and left immediately. Bootes is only 15 weeks for God's sake! Mom told her not to worry, if she needed any training that she would come visit and help her out - no problem! Bootes is doing good already! Aunt Jackie started his training, but wanted to take him to class to get motivated and maybe learn some new tricks. Not with a shock collar!
