It's a Dog's Life

I was in a parade

This week our local dog park, Barkin Park, had a float in the annual parade in our town. Many of my pup pals were there to walk along with the float. I got to ride ON it. My human was supposed to work the cd player so the crowd could hear the dogs barking to jingle bells, but the technology gremlins took over and the cd had to play from the truck. It was pawesome to see the crowds from the float, just like riding in the back of the car.

Summer Time

I love the longer days of summer. The warmer weather and extended daylight usually means extra time at the dog park with my pup pals, or a bonus walk at a local park.
This summer I thought "expect the unexpected" only referred to some show my human watches. Turns out it has also applied to me.
A few days ago I stepped on a bee when leaving the dog park. Definitely unexpected. My pup pal's human lent a hand and we affirmed once again that our vet is PAWESOME; she returned our call after 8:00 p.m. to help to make sure I was not allergic. Two nights later, a raccoon thought he would grocery shop in our kitchen. Talk about unexpected. We are now learning all sorts of things to do so he and his family will seek 2:00 am snacks elsewhere. I do not like that the dog door is shut at night, but I also do not want critters eating my treats.
Hopefully the summer will hold some good surprises as well, starting with this week's field trip to a dog park we have not visited before.

A Holiday Treat

Visiting family for the holidays, I got to go to another dog park this morning. We love visiting Five Cities Dog Park. There are familiar friends we see a few times a year. The park is part of a larger park which is good for bonus sniffs.
