Winter Montage

I haven't written anything in awhile. That's my human's fault. I've been doing lots of fun things since January. To bring everyone up to date, here are a bunch of photos from the past two months. Um, and maybe a video. Or two.

Here's a picture of me and Roethke playing with sticks.

My human says we look like mad flautists. Did you say flautas? Mmmmmm! Yes, please! I'll have the chicken flautas and the pork flautas and the beef flautas - and make it a double!

Here's a picture of me and Roethke sharing a stick.

Yeah. It was a really good stick!

Here's a picture of me in the front yard enjoying the snow.

No, I'm not ready to go in yet.

Here's a bunch of pictures of me at Prairie Wolf Dog Park.

Hey! You're not Roethke! Who they are? I don't know. I got to chase the big red one.

Here's a video of me and Roethke playing in the snow!

Here's a video of me practicing my Nose Fun in the snow!

MMMMMMMMMM! Duck foot!

Here's a picture of me napping with my cat brother Enoki.

It's blurry. He was only with us for a few months and he died from FIP. I liked Enoki a lot. He tossed treats off the counter for me. My humans don't feed me enough - I need those treats!

Now the snow is all gone and it's getting warm. I want more snow and cold! I went to the beach today and got to walk in the cold water. It felt so good! Then I found a big patch of snow in the park. I was so excited I rolled on it and barked. Then I took a nap in the snow. I could have stayed there all day, but my human made me come inside. Can we move to Alaska? I'm pretty sure there's still snow there.
 

Back to Prairie Wolf Dog Park!

A couple of weeks ago I went back to Prairie Wolf Dog Park. There was snow on the ground! I went with a whole pack of dogs. Here's a picture of the whole pack.

It's me, Chyna, who usually growls at me, but we got along just fine, (yeah, not so tough without the leash holding you back, huh?), Kayla, Dude and Bailey. There was so much to smell! Here's a picture of me and Dude smelling stuff.

I moved before he peed on my head. (Only my friend Roethke gets to do that!) We all got separated in the brush trying to avoid the big mud swamp - well, the humans were trying to avoid it, I was trying to get in the middle of it - and look what I found, a new pack! Here's a picture of me coming out of the brush with my new pack.
It was really crowded at the dog park. Here's a picture of me and some of my new pack and a whole bunch of other dogs.

There were lots of bushy tails there, but mine was the bushiest!

Prairie Wolf Dog Park!!

Today I went to Prairie Wolf Dog Park again! I haven't been there in years. I don't know why not. Scruffy and Teeny and Knuckles came too. Right away I found a giant mud puddle to lie down in! Here's a picture of me lying in the mud puddle.

It felt sooooo gooooood. It was nice and cool and shady. Ahhhh! Here's a picture of me walking in the mud puddle.
I may have taken a few sips. Feels. So. Good!!! Can I stay here? I wasn't allowed. My tail felt really heavy when I got out. Here's a picture of me out of the mud puddle.
See how low my tail is hanging? It felt better after I shook off. Here's a picture of me after I shook.
Much better. We walked around some more. Hey, is that a pond I smell?? It was! Here's a picture of me on the bank of the pond.
Um, it's kind of high up. Lots of dogs were jumping off the bank into the water. I don't want to jump! I tried to find another way down. It was tricky. Here's a picture of me looking for a way down into the pond.
Arrgh! Too steep! Here's a picture of me finding a way down into the pond.
It was really muddy. Here's a picture of me in the pond.
Finally! It was nice and deep! It tasted good too! Here's a picture of me after my dip in the pond.
Look, ma - no mud! There were lots of other dogs there. Knuckles was really crazy at the pond. He kept running around and jumping all over the bank. Whatever. He's nuts. Teeny tried to chase some big dogs, but I didn't allow it. Let's go - there's too many other dogs here! We left the pond and walked around on the path. Here's a picture of me and Teeny and Knuckles.
I'm blocking Scruffy. Here's another picture of us on the path.
It's just me and Knuckles and Scruffy. I don't know where Teeny went. It's hard to keep track of something that little! Hey, what's that smell? Oh, smells sooooo gooooood! I don't know what it was, but I rolled in it so I could smell it later! Here's a picture of me rolling in the good smell.
I could have rolled in it for hours but my human made me stop. So what, it's really strong and I got it right on top of my head! Then we went to a big field and I got to chase a stick. Some other dogs tried to get my stick but I didn't let them! Here's a picture of me and Scruffy in the field.
Um, I'm ready to go home now. Here's a picture of me waiting to go home.
We didn't go home. My human stood around and talked for hours. Here's a picture of me lying in the field waiting for her to stop talking so we can go home.
I was tired and kind of bored, but it was still a good day! Here's another picture of me lying in the field.
See how happy I am? Can we come back soon? Please??

Prairie Wolf Dog Park - Take Two!

On Saturday I went for a long walk. First we went to Parkview Pet Supplies to see Joe. I got fed treats and stole a lamb ear. Mmmmmm! Lamb ears! Actually I managed to steal two, but one was taken away from me. No fair! I worked hard for that. I tried to steal a pig ear instead, but they took that away too. My human gave Joe a poster with me on it. It's supposed to be a joke. Here's a picture of it.
I don't think it's very funny. I think my humans should be on a poster like this for not feeding me enough. Then we went to Starbuck's. I was prepared to be disappointed again, but my human came out with a coffee lid of whipped cream just for me! Mmmmmmmm!! Whipped cream! Here's a picture of me eating my whipped cream.
I have some on my chin. Don't worry, I'll get that later.

On Sunday my human got me up early and we went for a walk. A little dog named Obie followed me all the way down our sidewalk. I tried to walk faster but he ran to catch up. Go. Away. He wouldn't. He was cute, but I was tired. I saw Roethke and Duchess and I ran after the ball once with Roethke and then I was done. Later my human got ready to go out again. Um, where are you going? Are you taking me with? Yes, she was! We went in the car. It was a long ride, so I got to sleep some more. We drove to Prairie Wolf Dog Park again! Oh boy! I bet they have rabbits there this time! They didn't. We met Dundee Boy and Scruffy and their humans, Frank and Yvette. Right away Yvette stopped and gave us hot dogs. MMMMMMM! Hot dogs!!! Here's a picture of me getting my hot dog.

Another dog is already lining up for his. We don't know who he is, but he wanted hot dogs too. I like Yvette. We walked around for a little while. It was muddy. Before long it was time for more hot dogs! Mmmmmmm! Here's a picture of me and Scruffy and Dundee Boy waiting for our hot dogs.

The red dog is an interloper. He didn't get any. My human told me not to be pushy and to sit stay for hot dogs. Fine. Here's a picture of me 'being good' for hot dogs.

Do you see any of the other dogs sit staying for hot dogs? No, you don't. If I'm pushy and I get more hot dogs then I must want them more. Hmph! Then we walked around some more. My human told me I had to keep an eye on Dundee Boy. Huh? Apparently he isn't allowed off leash very often because he runs away. Here's a picture of me trying to keep an eye on Dundee Boy.

He ran way ahead of us. I don't think I like this job. Here's a picture of me and Scruffy.

You can see DB running around in the background. Here's a picture of all of us climbing up to the outlook.

I'm still keeping an eye on DB. I don't know who the yellow lab is next to me. He wanted to join our pack. We didn't let him. I'm keeping an eye on my human too. Here's a picture of me looking around for my human.

See how much work this is? As soon as I turned my back DB ran off again. Here's a picture of him running around while I try and enjoy myself.

Sigh. Dundee Boy ran down the other side of the outlook. Hey! Where are you going? Here's a picture of me going after him.

Then he ran off into the brush. Here's a picture of me telling him to get out of the brush and stop running off.

He listened. Sort of. Here's a picture of him not running off.

I'm looking around for my human. Again.

Finally we got to a big field. I ran around after a stick a few times. I got really muddy. Then you know what time it was? Hot dog time!! Here's a picture of me with Scruffy and DB waiting for my hot dog.

Here's a picture of me eating my hot dog.

MMMMMMM! HOT DOGS!!!!! Here's a picture of Dundee Boy about to try and play with me.

You better not put that muddy paw on my back, DB! He didn't. We had been running around for a long time, so we stopped for a water break.

Here's a picture of us taking a water break. I didn't have any. I like my own water bowl, thank you. Then my human made me stop so she could pull stickums out of my paw feathers. Here's a picture of her pulling stuff out of my fur.

See how good I'm being? Here's a picture of my paws.

They're muddy. After all that, me and Scruffy were ready to go home. DB still wanted to run around some more. Me and Scruffy won. Here's a picture of us heading home.

Here's a picture of me stopping to say hi to some other dogs.

My human says we'll go back to Prairie Wolf Dog Park again soon. I hope it isn't too soon. I'm tired. And next time I'm not working! And I'll require more hot dogs. Mmmmm! Hot dogs! Can we bring Yvette? Please???
