Duff's World

Leashfree at Last!

Mom has been taking me to the University lake to walk every day now that it's not mushy and slick. Yesterday I made a HUGE breakthrough, I got to go off lead and I came back everytime she called me. Of course that baggy full of Turkey dog bits helped me come runnin' too. My mom was so happy I came back every time. I got lots of belly rubs and more Turkey dog bits and she told me how cute and good I was. It was great. I got to run around with a really tall Poodle named Lola. She was beautiful. I'm in Corgi Love with Pretty Lola. I had to go back on lead though when mom saw the baby beaver. She was afraid I would go after it into the lake, but I barely noticed it. Too many other things to explore.

Today we hiked on the Turnagain trail from the Potter Marsh area to McHue Creek and back. About 5 and half miles. That's a really long way when your legs are only 4 inches long! Whew!!! I got to be off lead almost the whole time. It was really fun except when I got chased by an ornery airedale. The big giant moose was nicer than that airedale. I ran for a little bit then decided it was safer with my mom and ducked under the airedale's legs and raced for my mom. I was really fast and that long legged airedale ate my dust. :) (more mud than dust says mom). The weather was so nice. Felt like summer.

Gramma & Grampa visited

Gramma and Grampa came from Oregon for a visit. We had so much fun. We travelled to Valdez and Soldotna. Mom took me on a walk at Worthington Glacier. I also got to be a Corgi "sled" dog. My mom attached my leash to Grampa's walker and I helped him up the hill. It was fun! My Gramma was the best! She gave me all the pets and belly rubs a corgi could want. (And that's a lot of belly rubs!) She spoiled me a lot. After all I'm her best "Granddog." Aroooo!

Duffy's Big Adventure

Boy oh Boy! I had an adventure today. Mom had to run errands and since it was nice and sunny out Mom put me out in the back yard and the gate was open. She didn't know that and I escaped and got to explore the neighborhood. It was so fun! The construction workers down the street played with me and so did the boy! I love to play and run and wrestle with boys. I had a blast. Mom came home and found me playing with the boy, she called me and I came running. The worker guys stopped working and came to the street to tell her what a cool dog I was. She was glad that they liked me, but kinda mad that I was out runnin' around without her. I did get treats though because I came when she called me. Wow, what a day!
