Lost!
Today Ojo and my person got LOST!
I know THEY were the ones who were lost because I knew exactly where I was. It was them that were missing!
Here is what happened.
For some reason, Car decided to park in a different spot this morning. This was very silly of Car, so of course, at the end of our walk, I went all the way back to the regular place where Car likes to park. This is many minutes of walking. But Car was not there. And neither was Ojo. And neither was my person.
So I walked in a big loop, since clearly they were lost. I had to look all over for them.
Meanwhile, Ojo and my person barely went anywhere at all. They stayed on the same path where we'd seen each other last, and kept looking for me there. But clearly this was silly. Why would they stay there, when I was somewhere else?
As I was walking and looking, I told every person and every Dog that I passed that my pack was missing. Finally, someone found my person and told her where I was, and she and Ojo came to find me.
When I saw Ojo and my person approaching on the path I played it very cool. I simply walked up to them and rejoined their pack. I hoped they would not notice.
But they did notice. Ojo gave me a sniff, and my person gave me a nice pet. But then she said to me, "Cobi, what were you doing on this path? We haven't walked on this path for months!"
I told her that clearly she and Ojo were lost, and so I had to go looking everywhere to find them.
And then she asked me, "Oh Cobi, why didn't you use your nose to track us down?"
At this point, friends, I must admit that I had to turn away.
Because I forgot to look with my nose! Instead I was just looking with my eyes, and they are nowhere near as good at finding lost packmates as my nose is. And I know this because I have passed the first two classes of Search and Rescue Dog training, and I am very good at finding people with my nose. But today I completely forgot!
This was very embarrassing.
Although, honestly, my person wasn't looking with her nose either!
So then we went back to where Car decided to park today, and then I remembered that things were different today because there were big trucks taking up the usual place that Car usually likes to go.
So this was a bad part to our Walk today, but in the end it is all good friends, because I found my lost person, and I found Ojo who I'm sure was lost too.
So now I can go have a nap. And next time I will keep a very close eye on Ojo and my person so they do not get lost again!

Sunrise! (by Ojo)
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
We got up early! But not that early I guess, because the sun is sleeping in longer now! But still early for us! And we went for a Sunrise Walk!
The sun was barely starting to peek over the mountains and the trees! The birds were not even singing yet!
The squirrels and bunnies were not awake. I am not sure why I was awake.
But I will never, ever say "no" to a Walk!
You cannot see it very well, but there was frost on the ground! It melted very quickly in the peeking yellow sun. But all of the nighttime smells were fresh and crisp!
It was a lazy Walk. We did much sniffing, and much stick-chewing. And our person pointed her big-black-eye around taking pictures.
And then the sun came up fully into the sky, and the day was started. Hello, new day!

Jacobi and the Bad Good Bad Good Day
Dear friends,
I had a Bad Good Bad Good Day.
Bad Thing Number One
The first Bad Thing happened last night.
Last night there was something Bad with my crate-den. At bedtime I did not want to go inside.
My person did not listen. She insisted that I go in, and because I am a Good Dog I went into by crate-den for her. But as soon as she shut the door I started banging with my paw to be let out.
My person let me out, but she did not understand. She took me outside to pee again. I did not need to pee again. She led me to the water bowl in case I needed to drink. I did not need to drink.
Then she told me to go back into my crate-den. I refused.
At this point, friends, I must admit that we got annoyed with each other. I kept trying to tell her that there was something BAD with my crate-den. My person disagreed. She put her head inside to look and smell, and she said it was fine. It was NOT FINE.
It was BAD.
After many minutes of disagreeing I began shaking and I tucked my tail. By now both my people were awake, and finally they decided to listen. They took the donut bed from downstairs up into their room and invited me to sleep there instead. (Meanwhile, Ojo went to sleep in her crate-den. Hers was fine. It was just mine that was BAD.)
However, it turned out that the donut bed was not good either.
And so I climbed into bed between my people. My person asked me to go back into my donut bed. I am a Good Dog, and I did. I waited forever (about two minutes), and then I climbed back into bed between my people.
They didn't understand - everything was Bad! The only safe place was right in between my people!
But my person disagreed. You see, sometimes I leak pee. This is not my fault. It just happens. But my person still sent me back to my donut bed. She put her hand in the bed on my back, and then finally I could lie down. And then finally I could go to sleep.
Ojo thinks there was a ghost in my crate-den last night. She did not mind - black dogs are friends with ghosts, you know - but I did not like it.
So that was Bad.
Mischief Interlude
This part of the story is only sort of Bad, and it is Ojo's fault.
When our person went to put our collars on this morning so we could go on our walk, she discovered that Ojo had decided to leave her tags in the bushes yesterday. This meant that we had to stop at Place One to get a new license for Ojo, and then we had to stop at Place Two to get a new ID tag for Ojo.
Ojo is very bad. This was Big Mischief, and it meant our walk took forever to happen!
Good Thing Number One
But then, something Good! Something better than Good! Something amazing! Wonderful!
Last night it SNOWED!!!
Snow is my favourite thing in the whole world! There was only a little bit at our house, but my person knew where to find more. So I forgave her for not listening last night when I said my crate-den was Bad, because look how much snow she found for us!
We sniffed! We ran! We chased snowballs!
This is a picture of Ojo, but if you look in the very top corner you can see ME! My bum is in the air because I am about to roll in the snow. Did I mention that I love snow??? It's the Best Thing Ever!
Bad Thing Number Two
But then, another Bad Thing.
My belly decided it did not want breakfast any more. Instead, my breakfast wound up out of my tummy and in the snow.
This was Very Bad.
My person did not even let me eat it again! She put it in a bag, and put it in the poop-bin. And so I was not happy with my person again.
Good Thing Number Two
But I have forgiven my person once again, because there was another Good Thing. This Good Thing is that dinner tonight was boiled chicken and rice! And also some peas, and also some pumpkin. This felt very nice in my tummy, and my tummy is happy again.
So there is the story of my Bad Good Bad Good day, with some Mischief from Ojo. I would like tomorrow to be all good, please. Maybe there will be more snow?
