Mount Doug in Spring means rain, sun and wind

Today Car took us to Mount Doug. Nature was making Spring. There was sunshine and rain, and lots of wind, and then more sunshine, and then more rain.

We did my favourite Walk, which starts with forest and mud and trees and bushes, then goes into rocks to climb (I love climbing!), and then the area that my person calls GarryOakEcosystem, which has lots of grass and moss and flowers. And trees named Garry Oak.

My person made me do the thing called "posing", but she had water and lamb-treat for me so I didn't mind.

Aren't I pretty-dog? I love Mount Doug in the spring!

I keep watch

The cat named Keisha did not come home last night.

This morning my person put me in Car. I was very excited, because Car takes us to fun places. But today Car made a mistake. Car stopped at terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-place-called-vet.

My person took me inside. My whole body started to shake.

Have I mentioned that the place called Vet is Terrible, Horrible, No Good and Very Bad? Bad things happen there. Even when there is yummy food, the bad things are still worse.

They did something to me that I will not tell you about. It was very uncomfortable. But at least it didn't hurt. I was still very scared though. Lots of my fur came out and stuck to my person.

Then my person put me back in Car and gave me Dog Cookie.

She was gone for a long time.

When she came back she had the cat named Keisha in the little crate-den. The cat named Keisha got to come home with us.

However, there is something very strange with the cat named Keisha. She smells funny. She is still wearing the funny collar. And there are funny things on two of her paws.

She is not very happy either. Even though my person keeps telling me to do Leave It, I keep checking on her. I watch her closely to make sure she is going to be okay.

Funny collar

The cat named Keisha has a funny collar.

Last night she went to terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-place-called-Vet. She has been going there a lot recently. I know when she was there because I can smell where she was, and so I stay away from her when she comes home again.

Last night she came home with this funny collar. She didn't like it very much. She kept bumping into things. What a silly design for a collar. You can't even attach a leash to it.

When the cat named Jack saw her with this new collar he puffed up all his fur and his eyes went very big.

This morning the cat named Keisha went away again in her little crate-den. The people said she's going to have something called "surgery".  I wonder what this is? I hope she's okay.

The Escape of Crooked Toe

Today the chicken named Crooked Toe escaped.

Momma C has asked the chickens to stay inside their little cage area (called "chicken run") right now because she has planted seeds in the gardens to make plants. If the chickens go in the garden they like to dig for worms, which makes the seeds upset and then they won't grow. So the chickens need to stay inside.

But today the chicken called Crooked Toe decided to go outside.

Crooked Toe had the whole yard to explore, but she didn't explore it. She stayed very close to her friends. At first I thought this was strange. Why wouldn't she want to see the whole yard? But then I understood, because I like to stay very close to my person. So Crooked Toe wanted to stay close to her pack too.

Also, today there was a rattie in our yard. I saw the rattie, and I decided that I would be like Rat Hunter Dogs Dixie and Brody. I bunched up my body, and then I jumped high into the air. But by the time my front paws landed, the rattie was already gone. This Rat Hunting thing is harder than I thought!

Return of the Rat Hunters

Today the Rat Hunters came back, my dog-friends Brody and Dixie.

Dixie checked the whole yard.

She told Momma C where the ratties had run to, and Momma C put lots of water in those spots. Brody watched in case any ratties came out.

But none did.

Dixie told us that there are no more ratties in our yard.

And Brody agreed. So they went home.

For Momma C

Momma C, look. Proof. I DO carry friend Ball.

I do not fetch. Okay, maybe once or twice. But it's not really fetching, it's just carrying Ball back to Momma B. I was so happy with my new Ball today that I carried it lots!
