Mia Teaches Her Owner To Fetch

Last Sunday I finally got the cone removed from my head. This Sunday my friend Mia got her cone removed. I know how it feels to be running around not being able to see and bumping into and knocking everything over so I told Mia to meet me at Urey Overlook trail and we could go hiking and celebrate. Check out how happy she was in the video.

It was great seeing Mia again.

While our owners looked for eagles we played until we were exhausted.

Our owners didn't see any eagles and we were really thirsty so we went down to the river for a drink before we headed home. 

That's Holtwood Power Plant on the far end of the dam.

Fetching Sticks

Mia taught her owner how to fetch sticks! Most people collect things like rocks or leaves or coins or stamps or baseball cards. But her owner collects sticks. He must have fetched about 7 or 8 of them. He said he got them for himself and some for his family. Lucky them. At least he said he is going to dry them out first then maybe varnish them. He called them "walking sticks" but they don't walk. They just lay there. 

They must have had a really sad Christmas if he can only get them sticks. And Christmas is already over. Geee I got lots of neat presents. Maybe I should give Mia one of mine. So sad, giving out sticks you find along the river. Poor Mia. 

If you like to collect sticks I guess this is the place to go. 

Dog (park) Day Afternoon

Today was a sunny 57 degrees. A great winter day. So Dingo and I went to the dog park. We weren't the only ones with that idea. There must have been 50 other dogs there, which was fine because it is a very large park and the more the merrier.

I had a great time so I thought I would post some pictures to help me remember this day later in the winter when I can't get out so much.

Below is a picture when I first got there. Click on it to see if you can find all 16 dogs in it. Can you find Dingo and me? Can you find Dingo's owners and my mom and my college girl?

My first day in the Big Dog area. 

I don't think I was the first one to use this today.

Dingo and I would team up. Notice below Dingo is on the left and I am on the right. We were herding them up. We always like to stay on the outer perimeter and round things up. We are a good team.

A good day for Australia. Notice the Australian Sheep Dog and the Border Collie/Heeler mixed.

Here are some more pictures of other dogs at the park Dingo and I got to meet. 

Everybody is friendly at the park.

Hey, it is not a snack. It is just a camera. 

I am just having fun Dingo but nice to know you got my back!

Teamwork. Here we go again herding them up. Got em surrounded. 

The ride home. Relaxing in the back seat with Jannessa.

If we get another nice day this winter or early spring maybe my friends Mia or Storm or Zeke and Callie could meet me there. They would really like it. 

Christmas Party At My Vet's

I love going to my Vet. I had a great time there today. My owner guy told me they were having a Christmas party and I was invited. I got there early before they were even open. There were already a lot of other dogs in the back. The receptionist took my leash and I led her to the back room. I was so excited.

Jami - One of the cute nurses I got to hang out with.

But before I knew it the party was over. I must have overdone it on the eggnog or something because I don't remember a lot about it. I wish I could tell you more but everything is a little fuzzy. I think I had a great time though because as you can see in the photo I woke up with this lamp shade on my head! I bet I was the life of the party.

You can see I was a little hung over. I bet I had a good time. 

I am going to figure out how I got this lamp shade on my head and I will let you know more about the party later. As for now, I am going to tell mom I am starting to feel better and how about getting me something to eat! Then I think I will turn in for the night. 

Hey Mom, I am feeling better. Got anything to eat?
Can you get this lamp shade off my head? 

A Tree In The House

A Tree In The House.

What could this mean? There is a tree in the house. And it is all decorated with lights. I am not sure what this is all about but Jannessa sure had fun getting it ready. She decorated me!

A dog with lights. Very funny Jannessa. 

Everyone was involved in decorating this tree. Even my human brother who I finally got to meet for the first time came all the way from North Carolina to help. And guess what. He just got married yesterday so now I am a dog-in-law.

My human brother I just met and my new sis-in-law decorating the tree. 

I Figured It Out.

I finally figured out why they are all so excited about putting a tree in the house. Camden and Simba have litter boxes. So it must be that I am getting an indoor bathroom too! It will be so nice to have my own indoor bathroom this winter when it is so cold out. This is going to be great!

Hey guys, I am not allowed to mess with your litter box so stay away from my tree.
