Dog Day on the Green

Today I went to Dog Day on the Green at Montrose Harbor. It was hot! We walked around to all the booths. I thought they would have treats, but nobody gave me any. My human brought treats, so I got some of my cheese puff treats. I like them, but I get those all the time. I think that if you go to a dog event, you should bring treats. Period.

Then my human took me to the agility course. A woman walked around and gave me cheese when I followed her. Here's a picture of me stepping through a big round thing and eating string cheese.

There aren't too many places I wouldn't go if there is string cheese in front of me. Here's a picture of me going through a tube.
It's not my best angle. It was cool inside the tube, so I decided to lie down. Here's a picture of me trying to ignore the string cheese so I can stay inside the cool tube.
Here's a picture of me trying to reach the string cheese without leaving the cool tube.

No! It's hot! Why are you people tormenting me with cheese?! Here's a picture of me sitting on the edge of the tube for the string cheese.

It was too good to resist. I made it through the whole course. I would have been happy just to eat cheese. I don't see why I had to walk all over the place for it.

After the agility course we sat around for a long time doing nothing and I was really hot. It was boring. Then one of my humans took me over to the Robinson's Rib tent. Mmmmmmm! Ribs! I was so excited! He didn't get ribs, he got a cheeseburger. MMMMMMM! Cheeseburgers!! Here's a picture of me waiting for some cheeseburger.

It was sooooo good!!

Then we went into a tent for the Safe Humane Chicago presentation and I sat up at the front of the tent where everyone could see me. There were supposed to be lots of kids there to come up and pet me, but there weren't any. Some people took my picture and said I was pretty. After that we went over to another tent and I was the only dog there – except for some fake dogs. Why? I don't know. Here's a picture of me with one of the fake dogs.

I sat around and got treats while children came up to pet me. Here's a picture of me being petted by a little girl.

Here's a picture of a little girl saying hi.

Here's a picture of her petting me.

After they pet me, the children got lollipops. Hey, those smell good! Here's a picture of me trying to get a lollipop.

I wasn't allowed.

My human said she would take me to the beach later, but we didn't go to the beach, we just came home. That's okay with me. I'm exhausted. At home I got a peanut butter frozen dogurt! MMMMMMMM! Dogurt! Zzzzzzzzzz.....

Forever!!

My human is finally back! She abandoned me for the longest time - it felt like forever. My other human and I had fun while she was gone. I went to the beach a lot and to Parkview to see Joe. I got to sleep late every day! But I like having both my humans home - I don't like it when they go away and leave me. Now everything is back to normal - sort of. This weekend my human says we are going to go to Dog Day on the Green. I don't know what that means. As long as they have sausages, I'll go.

Beach!

Today I went for a walk and got to go to the beach!! I haven't been to the beach in forever! I was so excited! I rolled around in the sand and then I ran into the water and lay down. It felt so goooood! I chased some sticks and had lots of fun. I was the only dog there. I didn't want to leave because my humans might never let me come back again like last time. But then we walked to Starbuck's and I got to go to Parkview Pet store and they gave me lamb puffs! Mmmmmmm!

When we got home my human took me in the back yard and I thought we were going for a car ride, but we didn't. She hosed me off. I don't get it – I'm already wet! Then we went upstairs and I took a long nap.

For dinner I only got a little food again, but then I got the rest of my chicken cheesecake from Dundee Boy's Party – MMMMMMMM! Thank you, Dundee Boy!! I was tired so I just went to bed. My human dragged me downstairs really late and I refused to do anything. Why don't you just let me sleep? If I need to go out, I'll let you know.

No Sausage Day.

Today I stayed home and slept. Then in the afternoon I went for a car ride. We went to Gethsemane Garden Center. I got to walk through the plants and around all the outdoor furniture. Here's a picture of me by some dog statues.

I don't know why my human took this picture. She thought it was funny. I don't get it. Some people who work there came over to pet me and asked me if I wanted any water. I didn't, but it was nice of them to ask. Here's a picture of me by all the shelves of flowers.

I give Gethsemane Garden Center 3 Paws.

Then we went to Lincoln Square. There was a sausage shop there. We didn't go to the sausage shop. I don't see why not. Here's a picture of me by a Nuts for Pups sign at Stanley Brown Jewelist.


My human says they give money to help homeless animals. Apparently they don't actually give nuts to pups though. I could've used some nuts...cashew nuts, honey roasted peanuts. Mmmmm! We walked around for awhile. Here's a picture of me by a fountain.

You can see the Chicago Brauhaus in the background. They serve sausages there. Did I mention I didn't get any sausages?

Then right before bed my human gave me another slice of chicken cheesecake! MMMMMMMM!! That almost makes up for not getting any sausages.
