The Adventures of a Hungry Dog

It's Not Fun Being Green

There she goes, running out the door again! That ringing thing called her, saying one of our lesser humans was sick, and off she went. Again!

A few minutes later, and she's back! She mumbled something about forgetting to turn off the stove, but I know she really came back for me. So I jumped and danced for her, till she scooped me up and took me with her to the car.

But I could tell she was worried, so I just sat still on the back seat, worrying myself. When we turned onto the on-ramp of the highway, there was a police car & three policemen standing there. My human's worry range increased. I know she was thinking about the sick human, and how much this would delay us if they waved us over.

So I hopped up to the window and let the policemen know I had everything under control. So they waved us on, and my human drove on with relief. So I thought for sure she would open the window then in thanks, so I could get a good sniff of all the passing smells. But no, even when I whimpered, she didn't open the window.

Finally we were off the highway, and the windows opened! Ahh! I love the passing smells, so much information, it's a rush!!

I thought we could get out for a good sniff & marking session when we arrived, but as soon as the lesser human got in, she turned around and drove off again. Well, between her worry, and the sickness feeling coming off the lesser human, my poor little tummy just couldn't take any more.

Yes, I got carsick! Oh, the shame of it all...

A Celtic Walk in the Park

As usual, I was hiding upstairs as my humans prepared to go out. They were calling me, but no way was I getting locked in the kitchen again! But when my top human came to the stairs with the LEASH, I came racing down because I knew that meant a WALK!

It was all I could do to sit still, so she could put on my leash, and out the door I ran, straight to the car. We were going on a Celtic Walk in the Park. I don't know what Celtic means, but I do know the park means OTHER DOGS to meet and sniff!!

I met lots of new friends! Scotty thought he knew all about this Celtic thing, but I think he was a bit too full of himself, just because he was Scottish!

Mollie was so cute, I just had to get to know her! She was kind of shy though.

Barkie was so excited, he was running around barking at me - you can't even see him in the picture! But if you look close, his human is holding him in her arms, so I can give him a good sniff.

Joey was running loose, so we had a nice sniff around each other. His human said Joey was a big fierce dog, just like me, so I knew we would be friends!

I was so excited myself, that I kept choking myself on my collar. My human started talking about geting me a harness vest, but don't you think I would look dumb dressed all silly and "foufou" like that???

Finally it was time to go home, because I really needed a drink! But there I was, lapping up that cool, refreshing water, and thinking that an early dinner and a nap sounded perfect just about now. When I hear my humans walk out the door, saying, "We'll be back, be good."

But, but, but... what about my early dinner????
