Pawtraits!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! 

Here are pawtraits of us!

We are sitting in the sea asparagus and lagoon mud! This is why we are so happy!

Us

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

This is us in the summer when the sun is orange and the air warm and we get to be outside a lot!

What is your summer like, friends?

Good things for Cyrus! (and ME too!)

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Here are some good things that happened to Cyrus:

Cyrus got a new soccer-ball-with-flaps for his birthday! These are his favourite toys!

Cyrus went for a Walk with our person in big fields! He met other Dogs and he played with other Dogs and he sniffed rabbits and he sniffed voles!

Cyrus went to the Farm! He met sheep and chickens! He ate rabbit poop! He ran around with the farm Dogs! 

Cyrus had a Very Good Week!

Here are some good things that happened to ME:

When Cyrus went to the Farm, I went on a Walk with Grandma! She took me to one of my favourite places! Then she took me to her house and gave me snacks! Then she took me on another Walk!

I also had a Very Good Week.

Today Nature is making rain, and we are both tired, so we are sleeping. That is all.

How was your week, friends?

Cyrus's birthday!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today Cyrus turns One Year Old!

He thinks he is very wise now, but I disagree! I have fourteen years to his measly one year!

For Cyrus's birthday, our person took us for an extra-long Walk this morning! We went to the Lagoon!

Because it is Cyrus's birthday, he was allowed to roll in dead-seaweed-and-muscles-stink!
(It wasn't really that stinky, but it was still Very Nice!)

It was a very beautiful day at the water! 

Thank you for having a birthday, Cyrus! We had a Very Good Walk!

Happy birthday to Cyrus! 

And this was Cyrus one year ago! 

Canada Dogs!

Hi hi hi! Ojo and Cyrus here!

I was born in Alabama! Cyrus was born in Michigan! But we are both now Canada Dogs!

Happy Canada Day to our Canadian friends!

Cyrus

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

I am writing to report that I've decided that Cyrus is okay. I can do All The Walks with my person anymore, and while I very much want to, Cyrus is filling in for me. He's turning out to be a pretty good pack mate.

Here is Cyrus with our person.

Also, did I mention that there are more Kongs and more Snacks now that he's here?!?

A Special Walk at a Special Place!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Last night we went on a Special Walk! This is a Special Place that I have been to many times, but it was the first time for Cyrus!

I will share some pictures! 

Here is ME with my person!

And here we both are with Grandma!

We would like to do this Special Walk at this Special Place again soon!

Puppy ME?

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

In celebration of my 13th Gotcha Day, which is coming up in a few weeks, my person asked something called A-Eye to make a picture of what I looked like as a puppy!

I don't remember what I looked like! Do you think this might be ME, friends?

My person doesn't know how old I was when I came home, but this is what I looked like way back then.

And this is ME now!

Do you think that puppy picture looks like ME? Do you think I'm still just as cute?

Pee Ess My person said that she used both Mr. ChatGPT and Mr. Gemini for my puppy picture! 

ME

This is ME! In the daisies! (Again!) 

Did I mention that had a Very Happy Walk?

Happy Walk through Fields and Forest!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

We had a very Very Happy Walk today! 

It was an accidental Walk! We were supposed to do our Lake Walk, which is also a Happy Walk, but there were hundreds and hundreds of people running and parking and putting up cones to block our trail!

So we did a Walk that our person and I remembered from a very long time ago! 

I don't think we've done this Walk since Cobi was with us! And Cyrus has never done this Walk!

We walked through the fields with grass and flowers and critters! We walked through the forest with faerie rings and old trees!

I zoomed, friends! I zoomed like I haven't zoomed in many years!

And Cyrus zoomed like I used to when I was young!

We have decided. We would like to do this Walk again. Soon. 

Thank-you-please!

(You can't say no to this face, can you?)

Do you have a zoomie Walk place, friends?

This is MY mat!!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! 

This is MY mat! Cyrus has his own spot! But for some reason, he likes to share MY spot!

Does anyone try to share your spot, friends?

Us in Spring!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here! 

This is us in Spring!

We had a Very Happy Walk today!

What did you do today?

Cuddle Time

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Most evenings we do Cuddle Time! This is where we all hop onto the Bed and have cuddles! 

Well, Cyrus hops onto the Bed. I get a lift! (I don't hop so well anymore, friends.)

Sometimes we cuddle with our person, and sometimes (but just sometimes) we cuddle with each other! 

Cuddle Time is a happy time!

Spring Pawtraits

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

We went on one my favourite Walks! To do this Walk, first we drive to Grandma's house, and then we start walking into Forest. There are trails! There are critters!

And Grandma came, too!

I found this patch of plants to lie in! (It was HOT, friends! And the plants were cool on my fur.) (But don't worry, I didn't squish any!)

Our person thought we looked very nice in the plants! She did pawtraits!

This is ME!

And here is Cyrus!

And then Cyrus stuck his FEET in my FACE! Don't you think this is rude, friends?

Still, I think we looked very nice in the flowers, don't you?

I would like to do this Walk again soon, please!

Do you have a favourite Walk?

Conversation

 Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today Cyrus and I had a conversation. We talked about squirrels! And Dogs! And snacks from the humans!

And Walks and cats and leashes and comfy beds and small young humans! 

And whether, when we find animal poop, it's best to roll in it, pee on it, or eat it! (I say all three are best!)

Cyrus asked me if his stick was the same as a tree. I said I wasn't sure. But does it matter? 

Do you ever have conversations, friends?

Beach Day!

Hi hi hi! Ojo here!

Today was Beach Day!!!!

I haven't had Beach Day since before Cyrus came! And Cyrus has never had Beach Day! This was his First Beach Day Ever!

(Our person says that she was waiting for the following things: for the weather to be nicer, and for Cyrus to be a good enough listener that he will leave Dead Beach Things alone when asked!)

(And yes, we did find a few Dead Beach Things! Hurray for Dead Beach Things!)

We found seaweed! We found dead crabs! (Yum!) We found sticks!

By accident, Cyrus followed a Dog into the deep water! He got wet all over! He found this very strange! 

For us Dogs, it was a day of lovely smells! For our person, it was a day of lovely sights 

(If you look closely at the picture below friends, you can see Esquimalt and the City of Victoria on the horizon! And if you look very very closely, you can see Mount Baker behind the tall buildings!)

(But we weren't looking, we were smelling!)

This was the Best Walk Ever! Hurray for Beach Day! 

Hurray for Beach Day!
