Who wants to go for a Walk?

I do! ME! Yes please! Paws up!

Wait. I am already on a Walk. Silly human.

It rains!

Hi friends, Ojo here! Nature is making Much Rain today! I love the rain! It makes everything smell so fresh and interesting!

Do you like the rain?

I am still here!

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

I am still here! I have not posted in a Very Long Time. My person got busy and distracted and has not been helping my paws make the blog. But I am back!

Here are some things from my last month!

Nature made Warm and Sunny for a very long time! Our trees have not dropped most of their leaves yet! I like the Sun!

I rolled in a Very Good Stink! This Stink was of the Poop variety! My person did Bath. (I got Greek yogurt on a lick mat, so it wasn't all bad.) And then she washed my head. She washed my head three more times! (Fortunately I still hung onto some of the Good Poop Smell!)

Then Fall started! This is my ear blowing in the wind and rain storm! I love the rain! It makes everything smell so fresh!

And then we had SNOW!!!

How was your last month, friends?

I am a mountain goat!

Hi friends, Ojo here! I climbed up and up and up! I am a mountain goat!

I can see everything from up here! I think I can even see you! Do you like to climb?

Smoke!

Hi friends, Ojo here! There is smoke in the skies today! Everything is orange and the air is very hot! My person gave us lots of breaks on our Walk today.

What's happening where you live?

Morning in the Forest

Hi friends, Ojo here! It has been very beautiful in the forest in the mornings! Is Nature making beautiful mornings for you too?

Morning in the Lake

Good morning, friends. I had a Very Happy Moment in the lake! 

The water was warm and the air was crisp and fresh. Does it get any better than this? Ahhhh....

Okay, I'm heading out for another swim. See you later!

What makes you happy in the mornings?

What makes your day happy?

Hi friends, Ojo here! Today is a Happy Day!

(Most days are Happy Days! They have Breakfast! And Dinner! And Walk! And playtime! And petting!)

 What makes your day happy?

You forgot the cheese???

Wait - what?!? We're out on our Walk and you forgot the cheese???

Dog friends, do your humans ever forget important things?

Silent Sunday

Hi friends, who needs words when life this this good?

Summer is getting older

Hi friends, Ojo here! Summer is getting older. The sun is not as high in the sky. The light is more golden. The wasps are getting grumpy. And the maple and arbutus trees are turning their leaves yellow and dropping them to the ground.

I had a Very Happy Walk today in the leaves and golden light. (I don't like wasps, though.)

What's summer doing where you live?

Upside down

 Hi friends, Ojo here! I like lying upside down! It gives me a different perspective on life! It is also the perfect position to get tummy rubs!

Happy Sunday!

Hi friends, Ojo here! I'm having a Very Happy Sunday! How about you?

I saw a squirrel!

Hi friends, I saw a squirrel! I chased the squirrel!

What did you do today?

Morning by the water

Good morning friends! Sometimes I just like to sit and watch. This spot has blue herons and ducks and seagulls and geese. 

What do you like to watch?

Silent Sunday

 

It was HOT, now it is not

Hi friends, Ojo here!

We had a BIG HOT! It was too hot to make blog posts. The only good part about HOT is that I got to sleep on my person's bed with the fan instead of having to sleep inside my crate-den.

Now it is Not Hot. This is good, except I have to sleep in the crate-den again. 

Or perhaps I will sleep outside in the grass. That is nice too.

Is it hot where you are, friends?

That was a Good Walk!

Hi friends, Ojo here! That was a Good Walk.

Did you have a Good Walk today?

Broken Ball!

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

I found a Broken Ball!!!! I think it is my new best friend!

I love Broken Ball! It squishes so nicely in my mouth!

Hurray for Broken Ball!

What's your favourite kind of Ball, friends? 

Hi it's ME!

Hi friends, it's ME, Ojo! How are you today?

Happy happy happy!

Hi friends, Ojo here! Is there anything happier than being outside? I love being outside!

 Do you like being outside?

Warm and sticky and grey

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

These past few days the weather has been warm and sticky and grey. Even though there is no-sun I am still getting Hot very quickly. 

But Hot doesn't stop me from zooming in the forest!

What has your weather been doing, friends?

Hello? Is anyone available for a tummy rub?

Hello, is anyone there? I need my tummy rubbed. Where are you all? My belly needs much petting. Soon. Hello? Won't anyone come rub my tummy?

There you are. What took you so long? I need more tummy rubbing, please. Right away.

What other mischief...

...can I get up to today???

I have already chased critters and rolled in dead things... What next???

How about you, friends? What mischief are YOU up to today?

Rest in the grass

Hi friends, Ojo here! It has been warm. I like to lie in the cool grass on Walks when it gets warm!

How do you keep cool?

My name - Ojo!

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

I had a Special Request from Beau and his person! They want to know why my name is Ojo!

First I will share with you that my name was not always Ojo. I was born in Alabama. Did you know that? I lived on the streets, and then I went into Animal Shelter. The people at Animal Shelter named me Wilhelmina. Can you imagine?!?!

This is the first picture of ME that my people ever saw, when my name was Wilhelmina and I was still living in Kenmore County, Alabama. (I've always liked lying in the grass!)

I was turned into a Canadian citizen by the people at Dog Bless Rescue. When my forever-people brought me home they decided I needed a new name.

This is the first picture my people ever took of ME, just after I got my new name - OJO!!!

I am named after a little girl Muppet in the show "Bear in the Big Blue House" which my littlest person (who is now Very Tall) used to watch when she was still very little. I have never seen this Bear in the Big Blue House, but the people tell me that the little bear Ojo gets into lots and lots of trouble. 

(I don't know why they picked this name for me... I never get into any trouble!)

And that is the story of how I got my name!

How about you, friends? How did you get your names?

HOSE!!!!

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

These past few days have been HOT! 

I do not like Hot. I am a Snow Dog, not a Hot Dog.

But the good news is that Hose came out to play!!!

I love hose!!

Also, aren't my teeth fantastic?!? 

Do you like to play with Hose, friends?

Hi!

Hi friends, Ojo here! Happy Saturday!

What are you up to today?

ME in the daisies!

Hi friends, Ojo here! The daisies are out! And the grass is very tall! 

I like to lie in the tall cool grass. The daisies are a bonus!

Okay, enough pictures. Can't a Dog lie in the grass in peace?

Do you have tall grass right now?

Dead crab! Eat pee roll!

Hi friends, Ojo here! 

I found a dead crab! What a treasure!!!

I eat it! I pee on it! I roll in it!

How about you, friends? When you find a treasure do you eat it? Do you pee on it? Do you roll in it? All three like me?

It's my Gotcha Day!

Hi friends, Ojo here! Today is my Gotcha Day! I was gotcha'd nine years ago today!

I am still waiting for my Big Treat. I hope that will come soon! 

What are you up to today, friends?

Fierce Stick-Roll-Grrrr!

Hi friends, Ojo here! I am chomping this Stick! I am rolling! I make growling noises! Grrrrr!!!!

Oh what a happy day to be in the shade with a Stick! 

What things make you fierce, friends?

Beach Sunday

Hi friends, Ojo here! Today we visited the Beach. It was not very sunny, but it was warm.

What did you do today?
