Wellwoof, gunna be away from visitin' Dogster fur a time. MrJack had the clever idea of changin' his profile to let pups know he would be away fur a bit and I am borrowin' that idea.

We is packin' up the motyhome and goin' down to SoCal. Guess I gotta new lil baby girl cousin to go meet! Plus hopin' to get in a lil fetchin' on the beach in as well:)

School's Done, Summer's Begun!

MyBoy has had finals all this week. So he has been comin' home mid day every day. But then he hasta go and study fur the next day's finals so it hasn't been all that fun, other than I am not home alone quite so long.

But today he came home and did sum weed eatin'. Not weed eatin' like eatin' a salad but weed eatin' with a big loud machine, that I does not has enuf sense to stay away from.

Anywoof, after 'helpin' with the weed eatin' we came in the house and crashed fur a while. We are all lookin' forward to a nice long summer, but it always goes by too fast!

I Luv Yard Work!

Fur the past 3 weekends the weather has been nice and the folks has been doin' yard work and outside house work. I luv yard work weekends because human yard work = pup play work! Whoopee! We spend the whole day outdoors and I get fetchin' galore! Altho, once in a while they ask if I can, "give it a rest?" Um, no, I cannot! BOL! I do crash at night, tho.

Guard Duty II

So on Fryday, the folks left me and MyBoy with the Boy Scouts to guard the elementary school carnival stuffs. MyBoy is a minimalist. He had a bed roll and a sleepin' bag. Most of the other boys actually slept in tents. Not MyBoy.

Anywoofs, once everyone was a bit settled there was a weanie roast. Boys with hot dogs on sticks over an open flame, can it get much better? Wellwoof, yes it can! They can actually share a hot dog or two with one hungry pup. But they did not. Durn!

One hot dog fell to the ground but there was one other pup there and he got it! Durn again!

So the boys tried to play capture the flag but there was not enuf players and I was not helpin' things by followin' MyBoy all around. Wellwoof, who else was I supposta follow around?

Me and the other pup did not get on too well as we were both fetchers and he did not like me gettin' in on his fetchin' action. But I did manage to get sum of the kindly people to throw my ball I found fur me.

Finally, when it was time to get sum sleep, I did sleep with MyBoy fur a bit. Maybe a coupla hours. But MyBoy did not leash me up and I took off into the dark once. Turns out there was sum guy walkin' through camp carryin' a long skinny sack with sum kinda bottle in it. I did not bark at the guy but I did run up to see what he was about. MyBoy was tryin' to corral me back and did say, "hey" to the guy who returned a "hey". Guess he was just passin' through to get home or sumptin. But good we were there or he mighta tried playin' with all the kiddies' carnival stuff!

Next mornin' when the ma came to pick up me and MyBoy, sum of the other fambilies mentioned how I has a lotsa energy and don't sleep much. Guess that means they didn't sleep much either. Oops!

Wellwoof, hope they gotsta sleep as good as me and MyBoy did all day on Safurday! BOL!

Guard Duty!

Wellwoof, tonight I am spendin' the night at the elementary school with the Boy Scouts! Fur the furst time ever, away from home, it is just me and MyBoy! Wellwoof, along with a buncha other Boy Scouts and of course, there are a few parents along, too, just not my parents.

MyBoy can be kinda strict with me. He didn't want the ma to leave a tennis ball fur me! Said I was gunna be annoyin' about it. So I hadta go find a ball sum kiddie left behind in the field. I had fun playin' with that ball befure the folks left. They saw me as they were drivin' off.

Anywoofs, the reason we are spendin' the night is the elementary school kiddies is havin' their annual carnival this weekend and they has booths and inflatable slides and stuff set up. The Boy Scouts always spend the night and makes sure no one comes and plays with all that stuff befure hand. MyBoy has done the guard duty many times befure, but it is the furst year he has wanted me along. Or maybe it is just the furst year the folks has suggested I could come along without one o' them.

Not sure how much sleep I am gunna get tonight. MyBoy would not let the ma bring my bed fur me. So she said I would hafta sleep on MyBoy. Let's see how much he likes that!

Bike Race!

The Amgen Bike Race came thru our lil ole town o' Boulder Creek yesfurday! The ma already has Moondays off and the dadders decided to work from home rather than deal with any traffic that might result. My Boy still hadta go to school:(

So at about one o' the clock we started walkin' to one o' the places the folks knew the bike race was goin' thru. It was about a mile and a half away from our house. There was quite a few other peoples and pups with the same idea.

We found a place on the rock wall of the fire station right on the corner of one o' the turns. The anticipation was excitin'! Furst the road was all closed off, then a group o' CHiPs officers drove thru makin' sure the way was clear. Then a van with speakers came and stopped fur a bit and gave a brief update on the race and where the racers were. Then they moved on cause the bikes was on the way. There was also a helicopter up in the sky!

Finally, we saw the lead racer! He was all by himself up in front! Next came another group of 3. Then came a huge group behind them. They went by fast and we wondered if it was all over. But, nope, there was anofur big group a few minutes behind. Then finally one more guy a few minutes behind them.

Then the road was opened again and we walked on home. It was good to have sumptin' different goin' on right here in my own home town!

Infurmediate Flyball - Graduation

Wellwoof, graduations was 2 Windsdays ago! But we have had sum beautiful weather here in the Santa Cruz Mountains so I has been out doin' lotsa fetchin' rather than Dogster barkin'.

Anywoofs, it was kinda sad woofin' goodbye to sum of the furiends I made. I might not be seein' Shasta, Shadow and Kinsey ever again:(

Shasta and Shadow might be joinin' the team Teacher Lady is on, Pawdemonium. And Teacher Lady made a point of askin' the ma when I might be comin' to check out a Safurday practice. The ma lamely answered, "I dunno." It's nice to know I am welcome, but think the flyball has run its course fur me.

You can't get there from here!

Wellwoof, you can but it would take all day!

The folks planned a hike on Sunnyday in Big Sur which is about 2 hours south of Santy Cruz. The dadders planned where to park and which trail to hike. The ma made sandwiches and packed sum other goodies fur lunch. The one thing they weren't ready fur was the road bein' closed in Carmel for the Big Sur Marathon! The folks asked a Peaceman if there was a detour around so they could continue down to Big Sur. The Peaceman smiled and said Highway 1 (aka Pacific Coast Highway) was closed from Big Sur to Carmel. No detour around this thing!

The nice Peaceman suggested we head up Carmel Valley Road to Garland Park in Carmel Valley. He said it was dog friendly and a nice place to hike. The folks had never heard of the place but figured it was better than goin' home or drivin' all day.

So we found Garland Park and maybe did not hike quite as long as we would have in Big Sur but still had a great time. I met a doggy furiend and taught her how to swim. Wellwoof, more like motivated her to swim fur the furst time. Her peoples were pretty happy about that!

So we ended up hikin' sumwheres the folks never woulda thought of as an intended destination but it was nice and we still have Big Sur to look forward to laters!

Rained Out!

I accompanied the ma to the office, yesfurday, and we drove all the way to Millipitas, only to have my last flyball class rained out:( Class starts at 5:30 and seems the rain waited until 5:20 to get started.

The peoples all stood about and gabbed a bit. Class has been rescheduled fur next Windsday.

Me and Kinsey, the little sheltie, had a good time woofin' to each other. Kinsey will be goin' the way of agility, rather than flyball.

As fur me, looks like we will be chalkin' this up to a good, fun experience. But think we will be focusin' on dock jumpin' rather than pursuin' a flyball team.

So, next week graduations!
