Busy Week!

On Wednesday I went to my nose work class. My human says I can't call it "nose work" anymore...some kind of technicality. She calls it scent work class. I call it nose FUN class! I never did understand why they call it work. I was the only dog at nose fun class. Even Scruffy wasn't there. That may have been my fault...Scruffy was supposed to stay with us for a week while his humans went to Puerto Rico to adopt another dog, but I didn't allow it. We just had Knuckles here for a weekend and now Scruffy? What, are we running a hostel? That's not what I signed up for! NO MORE DOGS! I may have been a little growly and I may have kind of squashed Scruffy on the floor...and my mouth may have been open at the time. So Scruffy left. Was it my fault? I don't think so. But anyway, I was the only dog at nose fun class. Oh, is it my turn again?? Oh boy! I like being the only dog! More treats for me!

Then on Friday I went to Andersonville to visit the Fido To Go truck! Here's a picture of me waiting to order.
Hey! The line starts behind me - no cutting! Here's a picture of me ordering my Fido To Go treats.
I'll have the sampler, please! I didn't get the sampler. I got a honey bone and a beef puppizza! Mmmmmmmmmm! Here's a picture of me sitting for my treats.
Now, please! I wanted them both right then but I only got a bite of the bone and I had to wait to eat my puppizza at home. My human says Fido To Go isn't coming back for awhile. Why not? I don't want Fido To Go - I want Fido To Stay!!!

Fall Fests Are Fun!

Ahhhh! Fall!! So happy!! The other week I went to Chicago Canine Rescue's Mutt Strut. First we just stood around while some people talked and talked thru a microphone - so loud!! - and then we went for a long walk. It was kind of hot out and we ended up right where we started. Huh? I didn't see the point. Here's a picture of me on the long walk.
We short-cutted thru a parking lot at one point, but I could have short-cutted the whole thing by just staying put in the first place! There were lots of tables set out with treats and stuff. I got some rabbit jerky at the Kriser's table. MMMMMMM!!!!! So good! And I got a pupcake at the Dog-A-Holics table! Mmmmmmm! Here's a picture of me by the pupcakes.
More, please! I didn't get more. I did get pepperoni pizza though! MMMMMMMMMMM!!!! Here's a picture that Sue Yellen took of me waiting for some pepperoni pizza.
See how good I'm being? She took some more pictures of me too (who wouldn't?!). Click here to see more of her pictures of me. I would have stuck around for some more pizza, but there wasn't any, so I wanted to go home. My human wanted to wait for the raffle because she didn't write her name on the tickets. Huh? I want to go now! We went home. I give the Mutt Strut 2 Paws this year. Next year we should skip the walking and get more treats.

Then last weekend Knuckles came to stay. Remember Knuckles? He came to stay with us before too. I like Knuckles. I also like no Knuckles. But Knuckles came. He brought his bed again too, but he slept on the floor next to my humans' bed. Hey! That's where I sleep. Whatever. I'll allow it. I slept on the couch. Here's a picture of me and Knuckles smelling stuff.
Mmmmmm! We met a husky when we were walking. Knuckles really liked her. She was okay, but after awhile I had enough of their playing and put an end to it. Hmph! Here's a picture of us saying goodbye to the husky.
I'm done already. Here's a picture of us waiting for treats in the kitchen.
Me first! Shadow Cat is trying to hone in too. You can just see him in the background.

After Knuckles left on Sunday I went to Found's Day of the Dog fest. The first thing I saw was the Fido To Go truck. I love Fido To Go!! Here's a picture of me being fed off the Fido To Go truck.
Mmmmmmmmore please! My human bought me more. I got some french toast bones and a mac and cheese frozen dogurt. MMMMM!! What do you mean it's for later? We ran into Maggie. Here's a picture of me and Maggie. We're kind of ignoring each other.
Are we done here? We were done. I give Day of the Dog 3 Paws.

Waggin' Wednesday!

Last Wednesday after my photo shoot I went home and took a nap. I thought we were done with adventures for the day, but then my human took me to Fulton Market for Waggin' Wednesday. Oh boy! FOOD TRUCKS! You know the great thing about food trucks? The FOOD!!! First I went to the Starfruit Cafe truck and I got a sample of frozen raspberry kefir. I don't even know what kefir is, but it was really good! More please! I didn't get any more. Next we went to the Taquero Fusion truck. Here's a picture of me placing my order.
I asked for a sampler. That's one of everything, right? I didn't get it. My human got a Flame Asada taco. MMMMMMMMM! I didn't get any. Huh? She said it was for later. Humph! Then we went to the 5411 Empanadas truck. My human gave me a bite of her BBQ Chicken Empanada. MMMMMMMMMMM! So good! More please! I didn't get any more. What the hell? Next stop was the Tamale Spaceship truck. My human got two pork tamales. Oh boy! PORK! I love pork! I didn't get any. I was starting to think Waggin' Wednesday was a big bust. And then I saw the Fido To Go truck - a whole truck with food JUST FOR DOGS! Here's a picture of me placing my order at the Fido To Go truck.
I asked for a sampler. Think I got one? No, I didn't. But I did get a Peanut Butter Banana Bacon frozen yogurt!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMore please! Here's a picture of me eating my frozen yogurt.
It was really good and really frozen! At some point we met up with Scruffy and Yvette and Frank. I don't remember when because I was busy looking at the food trucks, but Scruffy got a frozen yogurt too. Here's a picture of Frank giving Scruffy his frozen yogurt.
He licked it for the longest time! Mine was gone in about a minute. I would have eaten it faster, but did I mention it was really frozen? I also saw Cari from the Puppy Mill Project. I haven't gone to any pet store protests in awhile since it's been so hot out, but she came over to say hi to me. Knuckles showed up too. He stayed at my house for a whole week last year. Here's a picture of me saying hi to Knuckles.
You can almost see Scruffy behind us. Knuckles' human had something called a ribeye slider. It smelled sooooo good! I want one of those! We went over to The Slide Ride truck. Think I got a sampler this time? NO! Sigh. And my human didn't even get the ribeye slider - she got chicken pesto. And I had to wait until she was almost done with it before I got any. But still....MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!! Before we left, we went back to the Fido To Go truck. A guy was standing there with a treat. Hey! He said my name! I sat down right in front of him and some little black dog tried to get between us. Hey! Butt out, smallfry - he said Grizzly! What?! That little black thing is called Grizzly too? Seriously?? You guys don't get the Nature channel, do you? He was nice and gave me some of the treat. Mmmmmmm! I ordered another Peanut Butter Banana Bacon frozen yogurt. Here's a picture of me waiting for my yogurt.
See what the truck says? Yeah, YUM! I wanted to eat it right then, but I wasn't allowed. When they were leaving, Yvette and Frank asked if we were coming back next week. Yes, please!!!!! I give Waggin' Wednesday 3 Paws!!!

Bark in the Park

I went to Montrose Beach for Anti-Cruelty's Bark in the Park. It was just a week ago, but it feels like a lot longer. I was working at the Safe Humane Chicago table. Here's a picture of me in front of the table.
It's blurry. Lots of people came by to see what we were all about, but there weren't very many kids. We were right next to a table filled with dog treats. Mmmmm! Treats! Can I have one? Please? My human made me stay in front of our table. All I had was a little bowl of water and lots of other dogs came by and drank out of it. No thank you! I don't like community water bowls. Unless I'm really thirsty. Then maybe. We were there for a long time. Finally my human took me for a walk around the park. We saw the High Hopes table. Oh boy! Cupcakes! It was the nice lady who fed me cupcakes at Soggy Paws – and she remembered me – and she fed me cupcakes! Two of them!!! Here's a picture of me eating one of my cupcakes.
MMMMMMMM!!! Then we went to another table where they had Stella & Chewy's treats. Yes, please!! Mmmmmm! So good! Here's a picture of me waiting for my treat.
See how patient I'm being? Then we stopped at the Kriser's table next to ours. Oh boy! More treats! Here's a picture of me getting a treat at the Kriser's table.
I have no idea what they gave me, but it was good! Then we went back to our table. I kept staring at the Kriser's table – I couldn't help it. They felt bad for me and fed me more treats. Anyone can see I'm under fed! On the way home, my human saw the Fido to Go truck. She went over to talk to them and guess what? They gave me a treat! It was a blueberry bagel! MMMMMM!!! Here's a picture of me eating my bagel.
I'm looking away from the camera because I'm chewing my bagel. It was huge! All that eating made me tired. Hey, maybe the Fido to Go truck can give us a ride home! My human said we had to walk…something about calories and exercise, but I wasn't really listening. I was remembering all the treats I had! I give Bark in the Park 3 paws. Next year maybe we can hit more tables with treats! MMMMMMM!
