The Adventures of Toby

Details of my time with Mom and Dad.

OK the best news is that my dad was off work for 4 whole days. On thursday (Thanksgiving Day) we went to the mountains. Murphy, N.C. I got to run in the woods (without my leash) & that was so much fun. I did something stupid though & found something yucky & stinky in the woods & decided it was a good idea to rub my neck in it. Yikees!!! Mom & Dad were not pleased with me. Dad first thought it was mud.. BUT it wasnt. Mom always goes prepared so she wiped me with all the baby wipes she had & that was good enough to keep me from stinking so bad until we got home. Once we got home her & dad got me in the basement & gave me a mini bath.. That helped a whole lot, BUT in the morning I still stunk they said so while they were having fun I had to spend the day at my vets office GETTING A REAL BATH!!! Mom said she did not feel sorry for me because I brought it on myself. No one can figure out why I like to rub in stinky stuff & I am not able to tell them because they don't understand the barking language. When I got home from getting a bath they were very pleased with the way I smelled then.
Saturday they left me at home and went to see Moms family. I just rested all day. .Going to the mountains really zapped my energy..
On Sunday when Mom & Dad got home from church we took a family stroll around our neighborhood.. That was fun.. Well it is Monday now & back to the regular routine. Mom is gonna rake some leaves today so I guess I will help her in the yard like I usually do :o) all for now.. 10:27 a.m. Eastern Time.

A great Thanksgiving.

My Dad was off work for 4 whole days!!! BOL. we had the best time. Don't have time to tell ya about right now, but I will later.. Hope you enjoy my slide show of our trip to North Carolina.. 9:21 p.m.

Another Birthday come and gone.

Well I had a really nice day yesterday on my 4th birthday. The weather wasnt really good, but for the most part it was. i got a new toy.. a cow...It had TWO squeakers in it!!!I got extra treats.. Mom gave me gravy train food in the morning for my breakfast and in the evening i got FILET MIGNON!!! Not people filet mignon, but it was still very tasty. Mom & Dad went out to eat and brought me back alittle of the barbecue they got.. Not much, but they know I cant have much of people food. On one bite it smelled so good when it got close to my mouth and my nose picked up the delicious aroma i grabbed at it and almost bit moms finger.. Well not really, but i did get her attention for sure.. heehee.. Me and Mom played a little bit of ball also.. So all in all it was a really good birthday for me.. Thanks Mom!!! Also a BIG THANKS to all my pals for all the special wishes & Rosettes you sent to me for my birthday.. That meant so much to me & to Mom too!!! You are all so special.. 7:10 a.m. eastern time.
