Bailey's Diary

I know how to canoe now!

I'm the good dog! I'm the good dog!
I got to go canoeing with mom last week. Chance and Bela had to stay home and look after things but I got to go canoeing.
I've never been in a boat before and I was so brave! I was a bit shy and first and mom had to pick me up and put me in - she's REALLY strong. But I just snuggled up right beside her so she wouldn't get cold.
We went all over Mill Bay and saw seals and cormorants and sea gulls and loons and ducks. I thought I might chase some of the ducks but mom said, "No!" so I stayed in the boat. I wouldn't have wanted mom to get cold.
I love canoeing. I can't wait till we go again!

Eggs and that's all?

So last night our other person stayed over night. We hadn't seen her in a long time and it was nice to have her come and sleep over. She's my favourite so I slept with her ALL night. I even got under the covers.

But there must have been something wrong with mom because all we got for breakfast this morning was eggs. I mean, they were really good eggs from the organic farm where mom gets the ducks and chickens for the other dogs, but gee, couldn't we have something more? I guess maybe mom forgot to unthaw something. I helped by running back and forth to the kitchen to remind her that we hadn't had enough to eat. I guess she got the message because we don't usually get dinner but we got extra today - tripe AND organ mix from Sugar Ray's mom. I've never met Sugar Ray but every time mom goes to see him she brings back some really good stuff like bones and cow heads.

Mom said she was going to get some cow heads today but I don't see them anywhere. I've never had a cow head but I hear the eyeballs are really cool - they kinda watch you while you eat. Perfect for Hallowe'en.

I had a seizure this week. It was a bit scary but I like that mom sits with me and strokes me till it's over. It's nice to get lots of attention but I would rather get it just because I'm so great.

Lately mom has been saying that I'm the good dog - I get to go on extra car rides. Chance used to be the good dog but he knocks stuff over all the time with his big tail and that makes mom exasperated.

A day at the beach

I had a really good day today. Mom got up early and took us all to the beach. I helped get the van ready by testing out all the seats. Chance just jumped around and bugged mom. He thinks he's so smart.

When we got the park at the beach I went and chatted up a cute girl lab. She was really hot but her owner was kinda clumsy.

Then we went down to the water and swam and swam. I'm the best swimmer - I'm even a better swimmer than Chance. He thinks he's so smart.

Then we met a whole bunch of other dogs - even a Great Dane who got so excited he fell over. Chance was scared of him and he ran away. My mom really liked a little Border Terrier we met named PJ - I think she wanted to bring him home with us.

When we got home we had a really good lunch! Raw meat again!

It was a great day!
