Another nice day!

Today was twenty degrees and sunny - a perfect day to go to the beach! Here's a picture of me at the beach.

Hello? Dog with a stick here!

My human threw the stick and I got to chase it and run around. Here's a picture of me running with my stick.

It's blurry because I'm running.

Here's another picture of me with my stick.

It was really big.

Here's a picture of me chewing on my stick.

It didn't taste that good.

All that running around made me thirsty so I ate some snow. Mmmmmmm! So cold! Here's a picture my human took of me eating snow.

I don't know why. It felt gritty on my tongue. And I got snow on my nose. Huh?

That's why tongues are so long; to get the snow off your nose.

See? Did I get it?

Then we walked over by the water. Here's a picture of me by the water.

My eyes are closed because I'm savoring the experience. Oh boy! It's just like Norway! I bet if we wait we can see the herring boats coming in. Mmmmmm! Herring! I'll just stay here for awhile.

I didn't want to go inside. But I was forced to. I'm exhausted.

Wake me up when the herring gets here.

Winter Days

I was so happy this week when it snowed again!! Here's a picture of me in the front yard in the snow.

See how happy I look? It should snow all year long.

Yesterday I saw my friend Rothke and we played for a long time. We chased a stick and played tug of war. We were having so much fun! Then some other dogs came over. No – you can't play with us! All my snow boots came off except one, but my human found them. I like that my paws don't hurt, but I still don't like wearing booties. Here's a picture of me in my booties.

It's from last winter.

Today I spent some time in the room with Grandma's cats. Here's a picture of me in their room.Mango is in the chair and Marta is on the chaise. Here's another picture of me in their room.

Marta is still on the chaise and Lolita is on the cat tree. I like hanging out in their room except that there's always kibble out and I'm not allowed to have any. Sometimes I just stand and stare at the food. Here's a picture of me staring at the food.
If I stare long enough maybe I can move it with my mind. I'm not disobeying if the food comes to me!

Huh?! What? I wasn't doing anything.

Then we went to a pet store protest with the Puppy Mill Project. It was boring. My human didn't take any pictures because her fingers were too cold.

On the way home we stopped at Soggy Paws and I got my nails clipped and the fur on the bottom of my paws trimmed. And I didn't even mind, know why? Cupcakes, that's why! There were some women there giving out cupcakes. They asked my human if I wanted a cupcake and she said 'NO'. HUH!!!???? What the hell?! Of course I want a cupcake!! Hey, lady! Cupcake, please! Luckily the women were smart enough to see that I DID want a cupcake. THA-ANK YOU!!!!!! My human finally said I could have one. She picked out the one with some peanut butter on the top. MMMMMMMM! Peanut butter!! MMMMMMMM! Cupcakes! Here's a picture of me standing by the cupcake display.


It was so distracting! Here's a picture of me finishing my cupcake.


Wait, I think there's still a little frosting on the plate! Then the woman asked if I wanted to take one home for later. YES, PLEASE!! Here's a picture of me picking out the one I want for later.


I want that one! It has a blueberry on top. They were selling kits to make the cupcakes at home. My human bought one. Is that for me???? Is it Christmas yet?? Are you going to make it when we get home? Can I have my second cupcake now? Can I have it now? Now?...Now?....I give High Hopes cupcakes 4 Paws!

Beach Day!

Today I went to the beach. There was just me and a beagle there. I chased him around. It was kind of annoying because he kept running in circles. Here's a picture of me chasing the beagle. I'm far behind because he had a big head start. When I went into the water he stood on the beach and taunted me. Here's a picture of me in the water being taunted. Then I chased a stick for awhile. The water felt so good! Here's a picture of me with a stick. Here's another picture of me with a stick. Here's another picture of me with a stick. My human took a lot of pictures of me with a stick. Here's another one. It would have been a really good picture if my human's shadow wasn't in the way. I could have stayed on the beach all day. Here's a picture of me hanging out on the beach. See how happy I am?

Then we walked to Starbuck's. There's a lot of art on the rocks by the beach. Here's a picture of me by one of the beach paintings. Why? I don't know. I decided to walk on the grass. I like it because there's a path. Here's a picture of me on the path to Starbuck's. Um, does this make my tail look big?

I wanted to go to Parkview and see Joe, but I wasn't allowed. It was a good day, but it would have been better if I had gone to the pet store. I didn't get any treats at all. And why is it so hot again? I want winter!!
