Ready for summer

The people put things like this on their bodies in the summer. I am trying Tank Top too. Will this help summer come??

Contrary Dog

Tonight I was Contrary Dog.

When Momma B put down my dinner, I lay on my mat instead of eating. When Momma B gave me food from the table, I spat it out on the floor. Later, when Momma B asked me to settle in the kitchen, I snuck over and ate my dinner.

On our way to the park tonight, when Momma B tried to jog with me I moved as slowly as I could behind her. Then when she slowed down asked me to walk beside her instead, I pulled forward and walked as fast as I could.

At the park, when Momma B called me I ran off to play with Whiskey. So she went over to stand with Whiskey's person, and I went to play with Klondike. When she wandered over to Klondike's people, I decided to chase Phoebe. Then when she was talking to Phoebe's person I went to the other side of the park to chase Nova.

I'm not sure why Momma B follows me around. Usually I like this because I like to be close to Momma B, but tonight I was Contrary Dog.

I don't know why I felt like Contrary Dog tonight. I just did. Maybe it's because of the heat Nature is making.

Later, after the park and after my dinner, I went to find Momma B. We had a cuddle. I licked her face.

I'm sorry Momma B. I'm not Contrary Dog anymore.

Wordless Wednesday 7/6/11

Sleeping with Cow

Cow only goes Moo-awh when I bite on him. This is good. Otherwise he would be too noisy to sleep with.

I cuddle with Cow in my bed. He makes a good pillow too.

My cow goes Moo-awh

Today we went to Dallas Road. I made some new friends.

There were many people and dogs gathered together. Lots of the dogs had funny things on their bodies. I had a funny thing too that my person called "bandanna".

Momma B took me to where the loud music and people were. A woman-person wearing very colourful people-clothes asked what my name was. Momma B told her. Then she asked me to do Weave and Poof and Bow. The people all around made clapping noises.

Momma B gave me meat. The colourful-woman-person gave me a toy cow.

My cow makes a funny "mooo-awh" sound when I bite it.

Later we went down to the beach. It was very windy. The water felt nice on my hot paws.

Canadog

Today my person brought out this special mat.

It is soft and slick to lie on. When the people held it up, it flapped in the breeze.

 

I'm not sure what's so special about this mat, but my person carried it all over the place today, even on our walk at Mt. Doug!

Woman-who-visits-lots-and-walks-in-forest came with us.

She liked the special mat too.

I did lots of something called "posing". This is when I sit or stand or lie down where my person tells me. She points big-black-eye at me. It makes a noise. Then I get meat or cheese.

"Posing" is not my favourite thing to do, but the meat today was tasty and the people were happy and we went to fun places. So I didn't mind.

After Mt. Doug we drove somewhere I'd never been before to do more Posing with the fancy mat.

The people tell me that lump in the background is Mt. Doug. I'm not sure I believe them. It's way too small!

Apparently this special mat is for the place we live. This place is called Canada. (I knew that. Really.)

I love where we live! You can call me "Canadog"!

Put your own chickens away

Yes, there are chickens in the yard. Yes, I can see that they are digging up your garden. Yes, I know they are not supposed to be escaped when your plants are still small and fragile.

You want me to what? Herd the chickens? Make them go back in their little house?

I don't think so. I do not herd. You can put your own chickens away.
