Lakewood Dog Park!

Last week I went to Lakewood Dog Park. It was really muddy and I got to look through the woods for rabbits. I didn't find any.

Here's a picture of me at Lakewood Dog Park.

I might have better luck with the rabbits if I didn't have to wear an orange vest. Here are two more pictures of me at LDP.

My human says those pictures are a perfect example of why I have to wear an orange vest. Hmph.

Here's a picture of me on one of the big paths.

It was a long climb.

Here's another picture of me in the woods.

Still no bunnies.

Here's a picture of me by a big log. This looks like a good place for rabbits to hide!

Nope. Not there either.

Or there.

Here, bunny, bunny, bunny!

Here's a picture of me by a picnic table.

Um, hey, why didn't we bring a picnic? My humans didn't have a good answer for that. The bunny hunt was a bust. At least there was lots of good stuff to smell. Here's a picture of me smelling something good.

Mmmmmm. We walked all around the park. Here's a picture of me in a really dark, muddy part.

There are really big fields of grass there too. Here's a picture of me out standing in a field of grass.

My human says I'm outstanding period. I don't get it. I didn't get any rabbits either. Or a picnic. Why did we come here again? Oh yeah, to smell stuff in the woods. Yeah, good times.

The Big 'C'

I've been having a pretty good year so far. My human was off work for awhile and we hung out a lot. Then she started working really long hours, but my other human started coming over every day to feed and walk me. He brings lots of treats like steak and cheese, so it's been lots of fun! Now my human is back home and in between fun stuff she's been dragging me to the vet - not fun at all. She says I'm sick. But I don't feel sick! I feel fine. I feel like having some steak. And cheese. She says feeling fine is what life's all about and now I'm going to get even more spoiled than before. I say it's about time.

Here's a picture of me with a package from The Live Like Roo Foundation. Knuckle's moms sent it to me.

See all that great stuff??!!! It's mine, so I can eat it all now, right? I wasn't allowed to eat it all. It came with a card of bucket list suggestions. Um, I can make my own bucket list, thank you. I'll have a bucket of ribs, a bucket of fried chicken - extra crispy, a bucket of biscuits and gravy - extra gravy, a bucket of cheeseburgers, a bucket of fries, a bucket of baby rabbits - and make it all a double!! Yeah, I think I'm gonna like this being more spoiled thing!

Summer Vacation

So, it's been awhile....You try getting a human to do your writing for you. I haven't even been to RibFest in forever. But I did go to Michigan to visit Roethke. Here's the first picture of us together in Michigan.

And here's a picture of us inside.

We were over the pictures already. But still, they took more...

I'm lying between two of the rugs my human brought with from home. I don't do wood floors. Unless there's food involved. I'll do wood floors for food. Sometimes.

We got to go lots of fun places. Here's a picture of us at the beach.

We were of different minds. Here's another picture of us at the beach.

We were of the same mind. Mmmmmm. Smells good!

I even did some swimming. It's still swimming if your paws are on the sand, right? Here's a picture of me swimming.

Later we went to an outdoor cafe (I didn't get any food) and walked around some shops. But THIS is where I saw some DEER!!!!!!

See those woods? Yep, you guessed it! Filled with deer!! I tried to run after them, but my human got the leash on me before I got a chance. We could have had venison for dinner! Stupid human!

We went to another beach the next day and I did some more swimming. Here's a picture of me swimming again.

Roethke swam too. Here's a picture of us swimming together.

I let him get the ball. I'm polite like that.

Later we drove through the woods to a couple of scenic lookouts. I was looking out for dinner, um, I mean deer! Here's a picture of me looking out of the car for deer.

Mmmmmm! Country smells!!

Here's a picture of me and Roethke at one of the lookout points.

See how happy I am? And it was like 100 degrees! I don't care! Where are we going next? We went to another lookout point.

It was at the top of a dune. I wanted to go down the side, but my human said it was too hot. 

She may have been right about that. I was so tired when we got back to the house! I even let the cat sniff me. No, really. Here's a picture.

This was the best vacation ever! But I think next time we visit I should get to chase a deer. Just sayin'.

Life. Is. Good.

So, I haven't written on my blog in awhile. It's not my fault! My human is lazy. I've been doing lots of fun things. Like eating baby rabbits!! So far the score is Grizzly=4, Baby Rabbits=0. Wait, does rabbit poop count? My number would be a lot higher if it does!

I've been spending lots of time in my backyard. here's a picture of me enjoying my backyard.

Mine! Mine! Mine!

Here's another picture of me in my backyard.

I'm excellent at camouflage!

My human built me a rabbit blind. Here's a picture of me in my rabbit blind.

Yeah, the rabbits would definitely have to be blind NOT to see me. I'll stick to my own hiding skills, thank you!

For Grizzly Day my human got me a Puppucino from Starbuck's. Here's a picture of me eating my Puppuccino.

More please! I didn't get any more.

Did I mention my backyard has raspberries? Here's a picture of me eating a raspberry.

There's a cherry tree too! My human says when I eat the fallen cherries my poop is the pits. Huh? I don't get it. Whatever.

I got to go to the beach a lot this summer too. Here's a picture of me at the beach.

So much fun!! We should go there every day. After I hunt for rabbits in the gardens.

Wait, did I not go to Ribfest this year? Why didn't I go to Ribfest????!!! Hmph!! At least I get to go Trick or Treating soon because it's almost Halloween. i know it's almost Halloween because my human made me do this.

What do you mean dogs don't Trick or Treat? Going door to door and begging for treats? That's definitely something a dog would do! Dress up? Costume? Uh, nevermind. I'll just send my human out for steaks. Or Popeye's! Yeah, steaks and Popeye's! And make it a double!!

Doing Stuff With Roethke

The past month Roethke has gone to agility with me. We carpool. I don't get that. I see a car, but I don't see any pool. My human takes pictures of us in the car. Not in the pool. Again, no pool.

Here's a picture of us in the car.

We're hoping for treats. We didn't get any.

We also went to Home Depot together. It was kind of boring. There was a hot dog stand. I could smell it, but I didn't get any hot dogs. Sigh.

Here's a picture of us at Home Depot.

It's blurry. No wait, I'm blurry! Maybe it's because of the no hot dog situation. I get blurry when I don't eat.

We went for a long walk in the park. Here's a picture of us in the park.

Pretty self-explanatory.

We hung out on the back deck too. Here's a picture of us on the back deck.

Yeah, good times.

Happy 2015!

I don't know how it got to be 2015 already. One minute I was having fun at a cabin in Michigan and the next thing I know my human is dragging a dead tree out of the house!

In October I went to My Sweet Adeline's cabin in Michigan with my friend, Knuckles. Our humans came too. I got to run around off leash and go in the lake and woods. I even got to chase a raccoon! Then I was on leash again. But I can't chase the raccoon when I'm on leash - take it off! My human didn't take it off. Here are some pictures from my cabin trip.

Here's me in front of the cabin.

Here's me on the dock in the backyard. 

Here's me taking my morning dip.

Knuckles is a late sleeper, so I spent some time alone in the morning. Here's me exploring on my own.

 Here's me playing with a stick in the backyard.

Here's me in the neighbor's yard.

Here's me and the neighbor dog, Lucy.

Here we are in her backyard.

Here's me taking my afternoon dip with Lucy.

Oh, look who's up. Here's me resting while Lucy and Knuckles play.

Yeah, just keep it over there and we'll be fine.

Here's me and Knuckles hitting the road.

Squirrel!!

Here's me and Knuckles taking a late afternoon dip.

  

  

 Here's me drying off after my late afternoon dip. Do I smell raccoon??? 

Here's me in the yard after chasing the raccoon.

Seriously, the leash is not necessary!

Here's me on the dock, post raccoon chase.

Here's me and Knuckles forced to pose in the front yard.

 Here's me resting in the cabin.

I give My Sweet Adeline's 4 PAWS UP!!! When are we going back? I bet they have lots of rabbits there in the winter!
