My First Blog

My name is Grizzly and I'm a dog. I'm writing about my adventures doing dog stuff.

This weekend my humans had friends over for a barbeque. I love barbeques. Barbeques mean sausages and I love sausages. Bratwurst, Knockwurst, Kielbasa; I like them all and lots of them. I spent all afternoon on the deck with my humans and their friends. They sat and drank and talked and I laid down on the deck and sniffed the garden and did cute tricks and waited. And waited and waited and waited. But there were no sausages. There was no barbeque and no grilling and no food at all. I was told there would be sausages. But I didn't get any sausages. Last night my humans cooked sausages inside. I got 2 pieces of Bratwurst with my dinner and one more with my after-night-walk treats. But I wanted more.

Today it was muggy and rainy outside. I didn't want to go for a walk in the morning. I don't like mornings very much. I don't like to get up early. Later I went for another walk. It was around 11. That's when I like to go for walks. Eleven. Or noon. I tried to walk to the pet store but my humans wouldn't let me. I like the pet store. It is one of my all time favorite places in the whole world. Joe gives me treats and I like Joe. Sometimes he gives me cheese doodles. Sometimes beef liver treats. I like all of them. One time I saw him giving another dog treats and I got mad. My treats! I told him and he knew what I meant, but he still ate the treat. We walked to the dog beach. I love the dog beach. The little one, not the big one. The big one is too crowded and far away. I give the dog beach 4 paws today. Some days I give it less paws, but today it was rainy and I was the only dog there and there were big waves, so I give it 4 paws. I would give it more, but I only have four paws, so how could I give it more? I chased a stick over and over. It was fun. I got really wet. It takes me a long time to dry off, but I dry off faster when I lie on the chenille love seat. So I came home and after my human tried to dry me off with a towel, I went and slept on the love seat. It's been hours and I'm still really damp, but not sopping wet like I was when I got home.

Um. So that's my adventure for today. I'm really tired and I may not even go out for a walk tonight. Sometimes I refuse to go out if I don't really have to. I don't like the stairs and we have lots of stairs. I'd rather just sleep.
Oh boy – I thought my day was pretty much over after the beach, but then I got to go on a car ride! I LOVE car rides! I don't like the wind, but I like to lie down in the back and go wherever my humans go. I went to Petco where the cashier gave me a treat and to Grandma's house. I don't get lots of treats there unless they forget to pick up the cat kibble when I come in, but I still like it because Grandma is there. Then I went back in the car and we drove around and then I got out and met a couple of people who liked me a lot. I didn't really see the point, but they petted me, so it was okay. Then it was back in the car and home where I (finally) got my dinner. I'm almost dry now and really, really tired.
