dog park!!!!

Yesterday mommy took me for a long car ride, and I didn't even get sick!! And then we saw daddy and when the car stopped i saw all these dogs running around!! I tried to get their attention, but they didn't even look at me. But mommy and daddy let me and sandy out of the car and took us to the dogs.

What fun!!! I got to run around and run and dodge other dogs who tried to have piggy back rides and i ran and ran and got yelled at by little dogs and ran and ran and rolled over and fell down and ran and ran some more. oh it was sooo much fun! i can't wait to go back!

i wasn't even tired by the time we got home. And i didn't get sick in the car ride home. mommy was very happy about that she said.

can anybody open a dog park near our house? The neighbors let me play in their yard today with ally their dog but she gets tired faster than i do.

1st birthday!

Today's my birthday!!!! I'm so excited!!! Although I'm always excited, so really it's not much different than any other day.

Mommy got me a bright red collar for my birthday. I think I'm going to chew the end off it that hangs too long. It tickles me. But I do like red. She also got treats for me and Sandy (it's sandy's 1/2 birthday- she's 8 1/2 today) but I ate sandy's treat. Mommy was silly and tried to grab it from me, but i was quicker, um, maybe as quick, and she let go. and yelled and jumped around shaking her finger. I ran under the dining room table and ate my treat. What a great day. Mommy still loves me :) i only grabbed my treat, her finger was in the way. didn't even bleed.

thanks for all the birthday wishes dogster pals!

How fortunate!

Last night I found something on the counter. It smelled interesting, but I couldn't taste it. I took it into my house to investigate it properly and eat it, because that's where I always eat. Mommy heard the noise I guess, because she came over and tried taking it away from me, but I held on tight!

With mommy pulling one end and me pulling the other, we got the funny stuff (mommy said it was plastic) off the crunchy goodness inside. The fortune cookie broke all over, so me and Sandy got to eat it.

Mommy took the little piece of paper before I could eat that though. (I got a corner of it- ha!!) After she looked at it she groaned, but then started laughing. Then she showed it to Oma and Daddy and they started laughing too.

My fortune was "Be prepared for extra energy." I don't know what else they would expect from me.

fun!

Yesterday daddy was outside in the yard for a long time. when i got to go see him, i noticed he put all the dirt back in the holes i've been working on. and when i went to fix them, they said that word i don't like. so i had to stop. then i couldn't go next door. they keep pulling me back thru the hedges. if i'm not supposed to go there, then why are there so many entrances???

but that's not why i'm really writing.... when i got outside i sniffed around becuz that's what i do. and becuz the green stuff was shorter, it didn't tickle my belly anymore! and there was this round thing and i didn't get in trouble for picking it up. mommy called it a "ball". and mommy and daddy laughed and took it away from me and threw it. so i had to go and get it. and they did it again! so i went to get it again. and again. and again. finally i lied down on the ground and chewed on it. it felt good on my teef. but mommy took it away! and threw it again!! of course i went to get it.

it was fun even if mommy kept taking it away from me. and sometimes she would say "catch" and toss it right into my mouth and cheer. daddy kept missing my mouth when he tried tho. we played this game again today. i liked it.

vet days

I went to the vet last week with Sandy. We didn't get to eat dinner before we went, but mommy opened a bag of food while we were there for us to have. thing is...she didnt give me the whole thing! she stuck it on the counter in that room with the metal table and then kept telling me to get down when i wanted to get it. hellooo...i was hungry!!!

then the lady came in and made fun of me. i know i'm just a puppy, but the first time i went to see her, i think she said something about me being a crazy mix. and this time she called me "dragon face" and said "big head, big feet, skinny body." what's that mean? THEN she poked me with something sharp! boy, it's not enough she bruise my ego, but to physically prick me??

THEN to top it off, she said what a good golden retreiver sandy is. hmph. just because she's all quiet and sweet and good and not "funny looking" like me doesn't mean she should get all the love. does it?

but mommy gave me more food in the car. so i got over it. i almost got all the way home too before getting sick! maybe next time...
