Snow Day then Breakfast with Grandpa!!!

Yesterday we went up to the snow!! I love the snow!! I love walking through it and feeling how cold it is. It makes me feel like a wolf, awooooooooooo!! We piled in the car and went up into the local mountains where the snow is. Even though we were only there for a short time, I had such a good time. Then we went out to eat at Chipotle followed by a really fun visit to PetSmart. I got to see and torment the rats and chinchillas. And when we checkout, we always get yummy treats and attention.

Follow up that great day with Sunday breakfast with grandpa at our favorite place, Brookside Country Club. Unfortunately, there were no squirrels out today for me to hunt, but my daddy brought me over to the coy pond. Wow, are those fish stupid!! They actually come over to me, like I am going to be their friend, or like I am giving them food. No!! they are going to be MY food!! (that is if I ever catch one)

Finally, we ended our day with a fun trip to Petco where my brother stole a bunch of treats from the treat smorgasbord. Daddy told the manager that he stole treats, and Spyro got away with it. Actually, the manager gave us all of the treats that daddy was going to buy for free. I like him, he has been there since I was a pup.

What a great weekend!! Best weekend EVER!!!!!
Now it is time to... zzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Wiggle Waggle Walk!!

Today was the annual "Wiggle Waggle Walk", a fundraiser for the Pasadena Humane Society, the one that my dearly departed older sister came from. I have been to this event before. It is really fun but all of the hundreds and hundreds of dogs there kind of frightened me. However, this year my beloved dog-walker came with us. She brought her boyfriend and 4 dogs. It was amazing how we all just kind of fell into a tight little pack and I was not scared of any of her dogs.

Anyhow, as daddy went to register us for the walk, mommy took us over to see Megan, my beloved dog-walker. Boy, I was soooooo excited to see her!!!! This is not even my walk day, what a wonderful surprise!!!!!

Now, there are two walks you can take, the 1 mile or 3 mile walks. We usually do the 1 mile because when Bella was around, that was all she could handle. However, 2 years ago daddy and I tried the 3 mile walk. It was boring!!! Just daddy and I with no one to talk or walk with. I told daddy I was bored and he took me back early. So this year, since my little brother, Spyro and I both like long hikes, daddy and mommy decided it was time to try the 3 mile walk, well that and my beloved Megan wanted to do the 3 mile too. It was fun, but really really HOT!!!!! Now, I do not like to stop for water while walking, so I passed up all of the water stations and must have drank about an entire bottle of water later, after the walk. We actually finished the 3 mile walk this time. Daddy was so proud, even though his foot hurt. Was I proud too??? Nahhhh, this is old hat to me since Megan takes me on 3 to more mile hikes all the time. I just minded the heat a little.

After that we visited the booths and ate lunch together.

OOOOOOHHHHH WAIT!!!!! I FORGOT THE BEST PARTS!!!!!!!!!!

Daddy took us to a little coy pond along the way. Boy are those fish DUMB!!!! They have very poor judgement. I walked up to the the very edge of the pond and looked in. The fish swam right up to me and I tried to jump in to catch one. Stupid leash, attached to stupid daddy. If it weren't for that, I might have had a fresh fish lunch.

Best of all, along the way, I found a SQUIRREL!!!! I dragged daddy over to the tree and baby brother, Spyro yelped and carried on. Hmph, can't take the little ones anywhere without them causing a scene. Really, he needs to learn better hunting techniques. Anyways, it was really fun.

YAAWWWWWNNNN.

What?? Am I tired now?? Nahhhhh, not me. It takes a lot more than a simple hike to tire me ouuuuuuuu.........


ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzz... .zzzzzzzzzzz.....

I FORCED my Parents to enroll me in Obedience Classes...- AGAIN!!

Spyro started his obedience training classes at Pasanita Obedience Club the other week and mommy went out into the large circle with him.

I REMEMBER THIS!! I LOVED DOING THIS!!!! WORK IS FUN!!!!!!

So I hung out with daddy who took me on walks and sat and watched. I had a hard time sitting and watching, as I wanted to be out there with them working!! So finally, after making all sorts of noise and pulling really hard on my leash, they decided to sign me up for a class that I already took many moons ago.

See, being cute and anxious can get you what you want in life!!!

So now I am in the class with my brother, Spyro and my granddaddy's new puppy too. We are having a great time and I get to practice things that I learned a long time ago. I think all of the other dogs are looking up to me as the star of the class. I am able to do everything right away. It is great!!! It is great for my ego too. Actually, I really don't care, I just like doing the work and getting the treats!!

Besides, we really don't have to tell the other dogs who idolize me that this is not my first time in this class, right???

Shhhhhh, this is between you and me...

Remember, loose lips sink ships, or something like that.


Bye.

It's HOT!!

Man it is so hot today. It is so hot that even squirrel hunting sounds like too much work. Oh the floor is nice and cool today, so cool that I don't even mind how hard it is. Man it is so Hot!! It is too hot to do anything today!!!


Huh?? What's that??? The doorbell?? Ohhhh it's Megan the dog walker!!!


Ok, Megan's here, gotta go, a hike is in my future.

See ya!

Update on the Hurt Foot & Squirrel Hunting

Ok, so it looks like I stepped on a wasp or something. Who knew that something so tiny could make me hurt so bad!! Anyhow, I went to my new vet today and I got a clean bill of health, hooray!! However, she did some tests and gave me my shots.

OH I HATE GETTING SHOTS!!!

However, the foot seems better and I feel much better, so much better that yesterday Spyro and I spent to entire day hunting for squirrels. They just kept hanging around the yard, so we stayed outside and watched them.

Silly little brother kept chasing them, sheesh, hmmmph, KIDS!!

He will eventually learn that the key to squirrel hunting is to relax and wait until they get close enough to chase. Sheesh, was I that dumb when I was his age too??

Ouch, I Hurt My Foot!!

OUCH!! I think I stepped on a wasp!! My rear foot really hurts!! It hurt so much that I could not rest comfortably. My mommy and daddy are still not sure if it was a wasp sting or I hurt my leg while jumping around with my new brother, but whatever it was it REALLY hurt!!!

That night I got rushed to the emergency hospital because of the pain I was in. It was horrible!!! They put me in a room all alone, oh I hate that!!!!

Anyhow, I got some shots and I feel better now. However, yesterday I felt really sick. Today I feel better though.

I am sure I will feel even better tomorrow.

Anyhow, I get to see my new veterinarian on Monday, so I am sure everything will be okay.

I will keep you all posted.

It is late and my daddy is keeping me up, so I need to go bug him and tell that selfish human that I will not go to sleep until he does. So he had better get off of the computer and take me to bed!!

Because that is the way I roll!!

He's Not So Bad After-all!!

Ya know, my new baby brother, Spyro is not so bad after-all. I think I will let him stay!! I have actually come to like having him around. We play together and most importantly, we hunt squirrels together. He also helps me defend the fence from the evil dog next door when he decides to bark at us and leap on the fence.

However, that goofball of a little dog actually chases birds in the yard too. However, she is learning that the real payoff is in the squirrel chasing!!

The doggies that chase squirrels together stay together!!

I Have a Baby Brother!!

It has been a mixed bag of emotions since my wonderful older sister passed away. I missed her so so so much, but it has been kind of nice not having to compete for food or attention!! I also no longer need to guard my stuff from prying muzzles.


However, all that is behind me now, as my mommy and daddy brought me up to a place far away called Ojai to meet my new baby brother Spyro!! He seems kind of nice but scared at the same time so I will show him who is boss around here!! ME!!

** So let's see, a week later, and I am starting to like him more. You know, it is kind of nice to have a companion to play with again. Spyro loves to play and to chase. He also helps me when hunting the intruding squirrels. Any friend who also likes hunting squirrels is ok with me.

We will get along great, so long as he remembers who's in charge here...

ME!!!!!

A teary Farewell to my Sister.

I have been so lonely lately since my older sister, Bella passed away. She used to wait until I was scratching my back in the backyard and then race over and ambush me while I was upside down. Then she would chase me around the yard many times while I would easily outrun and out smart her. However, she was always eager to find me and chase me. Hmmmm, I miss that. I also miss sitting next to her for comfort on her futon.


Bella, I will truly miss you!!!

However, it has been kind of nice being the top dog around here.

I Was Busy During the Holidays!!

Wow, was I ever the busy little doggy during the holidays!! My daddy bought a lot of gifts online, so that meant a barrage of delivery men to our front door. Of course I had to bark at each of them. "GET AWAY FROM MY DOOR, YOU STRANGER!!" I said. However, they kept coming. Now this was fun for me as well as stressful. I love to yell at the mailman, so yelling at the delivery guys was just more fun.

During the holidays, the gardeners came... I had to yell at them. Delivery guys, had to yell at them. Holiday party guests, needed to let them all know that i knew they were here. Finally, the kids came over, oh that is the most tiring experience of all.

I think I need a vacation.
