My Hiking Adventure!

Today was so much fun!
First, I slept in until 8:36 AM.
Then, I went out to go potty and daddy almost left me outside. Well, maybe that is not so good.
After that, I ate breakfast!
Then, a few hours later, I went for a long hike at the state park. In the middle of the hike, we stopped on a ledge and ate lunch. i had some apples with peanut butter, cinnamon and olive oil. We walked for 3 hours and traveled over four miles. I also went swimming too!
We just got home and I am zonked out on my crate.
Stay tuned! Bark!

Walk?

I am getting excited! My owners just said that they might take me on a walk! One of my favorite walks is at a river near our house. It is a state park and has a 5 mile long trail. My owners take me there all the time. Sissy and Daddy are home today because Sissy is on spring break and Daddy took this week off.
Update! I am going to the park! Daddy just said that we can go. Yippee!
Stay posted-Delta

Dog park!

I have had a wonderful day!
First, I had my favorite breakfast! It is oatmeal, cranberries, cranberry jelly, bananas, apples, wheat germ, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar, and flaxseed! My stomach is growling just thinking of it.
Next, I went for a car ride in daddy's truck! Sissy came along too, and she is a really good pillow. I just hung my head out the window while they escorted me around town.
After a while, I realized that we were not on an average car ride. We were doing something even better! We went to my favorite place, the dog park! When we drove past the sign, I started whimpering because I knew that we were going to the dog park. Today was kind of rainy, but the rain stopped at about breakfast time. They were worried that nobody was going to be there because it is Friday and most people are at work. There were a few cars in the parking lot, so that was good. When we pulled into the parking lot, I nearly trampled my sister to death because I was excited! I dragged daddy to the gate and then our adventure started! They let me off the leash as soon as the gates were safely closed, and I immediately ran over to the other side of the park. I made friends with a slightly smaller lab mix named Sophie, and then two labradoodles came over to say hi, too. Another lady had a lab/german shepherd mix, a black lab and a yellow lab. They were friendly, too. I wrestled with Sophie for about 20 minutes while my owners talked with her owner. We invented a really fun game where I played in the water bowl and Sophie laid down and when I wandered back, she ambushed me. We played that three times, I peed. Sophie sniffed my pee while I wandered off. My owners brought my toy, treats, water, Sissy's phone, Sissy's wallet, poop bags and my backpack, which we carried everything in. I played fetch for a little while, and then got a tennis ball and played with that. My owners went over to get another tennis ball, but the park was all out. Then I got a drink from my water bottle/bowl. We played a little more fetch, and then I got another drink. Then we all went over to the other end of the park, and then I met a two german shepherd mixes, a doberman mix and a Jack Russell terrier mix named Daisy. I sniffed the shepherds and the doberman. Then I chased one of the shepherds around. I ran over to the other end of the park. When I came back, I got a treat. Then I chased Daisy around. She was fast and could make really sharp turns because she was smaller. I chased her around for 2 minutes. Then,
we just walked around the park al little bit more. Then I played with a pit bull and a German shepherd mix. After that, we walked around some more and I played with the doberman and the two german shepherds. We finally decided to leave at lunchtime. I spotted Daisy and decided to chase her one last time. That was fun. Daddy put my leash on and Sissy opened the gates. When I got into the truck I was really thirsty, so I drank my entire water bottle. I stuck my head out the window and we drove off.
Next, we went to Wendy's and Daddy ordered a junior cheeseburger and a regular cheese burger with Coca Cola and fries, Sissy ordered a spice chicken Caesar salad with Sprite, and Mommy ordered the same thing. I didn't get anything because I am not supposed to eat any more junk food. I say that because yesterday I got into three boxes of chocolate. My owners called the vet and he said that it was okay. That was a relief.
Then, we got home and I went for a walk. I played around in puddles, and sniffed and peed-it was just delightful.
After that, my sister brought me into her room and groomed me. First, she brushed out my fur with a pin brush. Then, she brushed off my fur with a bristle brush and finally, rubbed olive oil into my fur. I licked myself for a minute because I love olive oil almost more than I love butt odor.
After my grooming session, my sister gave me my daily olive oil supplement. That was really good because I didn't have to keep risking a hairball by licking my fur.
I just had my other favorite meal of the day, sweet potato stew. It is brown rice, sweet potatoes, peanut butter, cranberry jelly, apples, pinto beans and black beans. Since I am just starting my homemade vegan diet, we mix it in with California Natural.
As we speak, I am in my bed, in my sister's room. I can't wait to go to bed. Going to the dog park sure made me tired.
In a little while, my teeth are going to get brushed. Wish me luck.
As you can see, I have had a fun day. Stay tuned for more Delta and more fun!

Hello, Crate

Isn't it frustrating when your owners don't obey you? Like we have to obey them, but they never really listen to us. Earlier today, I wanted to be able to roam around the house, but my owners wanted me to stay in my crate. But, they gave me my two of my favorite things which are my stuffed caterpillar "Cally" and this chewed up blanket "Blankie". I can't believe these fools. They forgot to give me the rest of my favorite things. My favorite things are my special rock "Rocky"and my pink bone "Pinkie". They also didn't stay home.
So, a few hours passed and they came home with "human groceries". My definition of "groceries" is carrots, Greek yogurt, peas, dog food, meat, rice, peanut butter, berries, apples, cantalope, Fruit Loops, sugar cookies, corn squares, dog treats or pig ears. Well, they bought cookies, peppers, jalapeños, squash, zucchini and cucumbers. Then they yelled at me for not obeying them.
Later, when dad came home, I sniffed his butt. It is a little known fact about me that I am addicted to butt odor.

Happy December!!!

Well, sorry but this page is kind of late but its still December! That means that there are only 16 days left until I turn 4 years old! And, that also means that there are only 21 days left until Christmas! I has been warmer here in Central New York, and it reached a height of 72 degrees Fahrenheit today. I have no idea what Fahrenheit means, but it must mean warm. And really warm, that is. So warm, that it melted all of the snow. Anyway, I can't wait until my birthday. My owners are going to throw a party for me. My owners are putting up a tree this weekend, and then going shopping and then... Well, they are doing so much that I can't keep my head straight. Woof. -Delta

Cold? Snowstorm? Uh-Oh! A-choo!

My owners left AGAIN today. When is this going to stop? Well, I thought about it and I decided that if I am going to win this battle, I'm going to have to be well-behaved and cuter. I am kind of bad in the good behavior class ,so in 2013 I'm going to make it my resolution to be well behaved. That apparently means no barking unless it is for a good reason, no jumping up on people, no chasing innocent animals and absolutely NO CHEWING!!! I know that I'm not supposed to do any of those, but I really can't help it. For example, sometimes I am tired so I don't want to bend over to get my toy. Or people will ask me to jump up on them. Don't even talk about cats, bunnies, deer and cows. They are just so tempting. They are asking me to chase them by running around. So, anyway, it is FREEZING outside. Early this morning it was cold. In the early afternoon it was cold. Now guess what? It is still cold. Did I mention that it is snowing out? It's not just your typical snow shower. It is a blizzard outside. In just 4 hours we have gotten at least a 1/2 an inch of snow. It probably isn't going to stop soon, either. I just went out for a walk. I am still cold. I just hope that "school" is canceled tomorrow so that mom and dad can stay home. I don't want either of us to get hurt.
Bark! Bark! Shiver... -Delta (aka freezing cold.)

Zzzzzzz...

I am so lazy! My owners have to go to "work" and "school" again today. My sister and I didn't even get to see each other. She woke up, while I was out on a walk and brushed her teeth. Then she was gone. Now I am in my crate for the next few hours. My sister said her stomach hurts, but the nurse at "school" is mean and almost never let's her go in her office. Any way, I'm just gonna chew on this toy and fall asleep. Yawn.Good night. Zzzzz...

Sigh...

Well, now that Thanksgiving is over, my big sister and my mom and dad had to go to these things called "work" and "school". They also went shopping for 2 "hours". I have no idea what an "hour" is but I heard them saying that to me. I think that "time" and all that is useless, as you may already know. But to apologize, they went to the local pet supply store and bought me a 7 new things-6 pig ears and a chicken flavored stick. Apparently, I am only supposed to have 1/4 of the whole stick. I don't know what that means, numbers are another thing that I think is useless. I got my stick and ate it in the driveway, even though daddy was backing up this huge thing on wheels and almost hit me. After that, mommy a bag that smelled like pig ears! I think that I got a little too excited, though. When I got the chance, I stuck my head in the paper bag and grabbed my carefully chosen pig ear, even though my head was stuck. When my head was freed from the bag, I ate my pig ear. I even got a new nickname-Hogzilla! Anyway, I'm in my crate now because I scared Snowball, our black cat. Good night! Don't let the fleas bite! ( Or the kitties scratch, or the ticks bite or even the bees sting!)

Oops!

Today when my owners were asleep, I wanted some attention. I itched my collar, which makes a jingle noise. That did not work. I whimpered. That also did not go as planned. I howled and barked. Guess what? That still did not work. I jumped over the baby gate and licked my owners face. Success! That finally worked! They were mad at me for waking them up at 4:30 AM. Well, I don't know how to tell time because to me, time is just useless. Dogs, cats, birds and most other animals don't use clocks and most of them live. And the numbers? Weird. They are just all scrambled up. I would like to talk to whoever invented this baloney.

Hi !!!

Today my owners left me. Mommy and Daddy had to go to this thing called "work" and my big sister doesn't have " school" today so she went to grandma's house. The good news is that they put up a baby gate so I don't chase the kitty and let me roam around the house with my toys. Yay! I hope that they will be home soon. They left about 1 1/2 hours ago. Grandma's house is about a mile away and I hope that they visit me because it is windy and I'm so scared of wind. I'm going to go lay on the sofa and... Zzzzzz. Bye.
