Midwest Furfest 2012!

Last weekend I volunteered with Felines & Canines at Midwest FurFest 2012. My human dressed up like a cat. Why? I don't know. Here's a picture of me with my human.

 
I didn't need a costume - I'm already furry. There were some kittens there too. Can I have some kitten kibble, please? I didn't get any. There were a lot of people in big fursuits. One woman was dressed in a suit that looked a lot like me. Here's a picture of me posing with my doppelganger.

I get a cheeseburger for this, right? I was promised a cheeseburger. Lots of people came over to pet me. Some of them were dressed up like wolves and stuff, but I knew they were people. More belly rubs, please! I liked FurFest, but I never did get any cheeseburgers. And they had sloppy joes there too - I could smell them! Sigh. I give Midwest FurFest 3 paws, but next time I want food!

Knuckles...Here and Gone.

Last week was extra long because Knuckles was with us. He needs to go on lots of walks - like 3 a day! And he walks the whole time. And runs and jumps. On Thursday I had some time away from home - just me, no Knuckles. I went to Walter Payton College Prep to volunteer for Safe Humane Chicago. It was really hot, but I got some treats and lots of pets. Here's a picture of me with Cynthia from SHC.

She was really happy to see me. I was expecting string cheese. I didn't get any. On Friday Knuckles went to visit the cat shelter (don't ask me why) and I went to play with Roethke. I didn't play very much. Why not? Too much walking - I'm exhausted! But at least the weather is finally nice again! Oh boy - snow! And cold! So happy!!! On Saturday I went to the beach (with Knuckles). Here's a picture of me and Knuckles on the beach.

It was so nice and windy. Can we just lie down here for a few hours? We couldn't. We went inside. Something about Everybody being cold. Who's Everybody? Why doesn't Everybody dress warmer? I don't like missing out on winter!!! Last night we hung out in the living room and watched tv. Knuckles was being really needy. Here's a picture of Knuckles being really needy on the couch with my human.

Pathetic. I like Knuckles, but he can be annoying. When he hears sirens, he howls. What the hell is that!? And he always hits me in the face with his tail. Here's a video of Knuckles hitting me in the face with his tail.


My human didn't even try to stop it. Sigh. Knuckles went home last night. This morning I spent almost my whole walk lying in the park. Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Yvette!!

Last Sunday my humans said I was suffering from P.R.F.D. (Post Rib Fest Depression). They took me to the beach to cheer me up. Here's a picture of me making a sand angel on the beach.
It felt really good. After the beach, we walked over to Starbuck's. Oh boy! Whipped cream! My human ordered me a Venti Double Whipped Cream. Mmmmmmmm! Here's a picture of my Venti Double Whipped Cream.
See how full it is? Here's a picture of me eating my Venti Double Whipped Cream.
MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Then my human took me for a car ride. I like riding in the car. It's a good place to sleep. When we parked I got really excited. Hey! I know this place! I wasn't even out of the car yet when Yvette came out with Scruffy to say hi. Oh boy! I know them! Scruffy was really excited to see us. We went inside and hung out for a few hours. Frank came home and he gave me a treat with pumpkin on it. Mmmmmmmm! I like pumpkin!! I got to say hi to Bucky Bloo too. And I got to guard the house. My human says I don't guard. Huh? Yes I do! I growled when a feral cat came to the front door and tried to steal food. And I growled to let them know when Frank and Scruffy were coming in after a walk. See? I can totally guard! My human acted really surprised. Whatever. When we were leaving I got my picture taken with Yvette and Scruffy. Here's my picture with Yvette and Scruffy.
We're in the back yard. Can we come back soon? After we visited Yvette, we went to the Andersonville Midsommar Fest. We were at the Felines, Inc. booth. I was there because they're going to have dogs in the new shelter when it's built. Um, but not me…other dogs. I have a home! Here's a picture of me at the Felines, Inc. booth.
It's a really bad picture. My eyes are closed and - Hey! Where's my tail??!! It looks like I don't have one. It was hard work staying at the booth because there were so many good food smells. I wanted to go eat something. My human took me to Fido's and got me some treats, but it wasn't enough - I'm a big dog! When we were done volunteering, my human let me lead the way to the car. I led to the Noodle Zone booth. Mmmmmmmm! Egg rolls! I didn't get an egg roll. But I did get 2 chicken pot stickers. MMMMMMMMMMM! It was a good day - even without ribs.
