The teen with the shades

I get into so much trouble, but really it's not my fault. You see, this teen boy at the house, the one that wears the mirrored sunglasses because he's "cool", is always playing with me. Sometimes I get a little excited when we play, and then it causes all kinds of problems inside the house. I mean, it's not my fault we were playing fetch in the house, and the cat happened to be near the fetch toy, and I couldn't stop in time. He threw the darn thing, I was just doing what I'm genetically disposed to do... So we got sent outside, which is OK, it was a nice evening.

That's the skinniest Chocolate Lab I've ever seen!

So walking in the evening is in full force now. Sometimes we walk all the way tot he ice cream store, I did say the humanz like their treats. Well, we were going for a walk, and a nice lady on a bike says, "That's the skinniest Chocolate Lab I've ever seen." - I said thanks, I get my svelte figure from my mom.

I'm not allowed in the chair, which makes this all the more fun!

Baily and the dummy

We hide the scented dummy in the yard for Baily to find. Everyone makes fun, but she always finds it. This was the third hide, we usually do only two, but Grandma was over. She looks in the first two spots first, then actually starts looking for it.

But I wasn't broken

Baily is a Weimador, that's half Weimaraner and half Labrador Retriever. When people meet Baily their first question is what kind of dog is she. Their second question is usually, "Was that done on purpose?"

I know in this day and age, a lot of hybred dogs are quite popular (like the Labradoodle), however this was a total accident. You can read the story at Zoey's page.

We were fortunate to get such a well cared for puppy from the Michigan Weimaraner Rescue. However, we certainly don't want to put some rescue organization on the hook for placing more unplanned accidental puppies.

So two things; one, check out the rescues near you, there are a lot of good dogs available. Two, unless you are a professinal breeder whose goal is to improve the breed, remember to have your dogs neutered or spayed.

I like to fetch!

I really like the "Kong on a Rope"

When are the Canadians going to take their Geese back?

We like to walk and hike to different areas. Well let me tell you, there is one area that I can smell from far away and it always get's me excited. The Canada Goose area. These are suburban geese though, and are becoming accustomed to being fed by the humanz. I'm sure the humanz mean well, but I'm the domesticated animal, they should feed me, not the wild geese.

There is an old saying, a fed bear is a dead bear. Basically, as bears get habituated to eating human food, they get closer to humans, and are less fearful of them. Until eventually they are a nuisance and have to be shot.

So, as a public service to the geese, I have taken it as my solemn responsibility to make sure these geese are appropriately fearful of humans and dogs, especially bird dog retrievers.

I is edumacated

Today was the last day of my Puppy Pre-school class. It was a really fun class, and I got to play with and wrestle a lot of other dogs while I was there.

We also learned things like watch, sit, down, leave it, drop it, come and other stuff. I'm still pretty excited when we go for walks, and get distracted easily, but I'm learning and practicing.

We took pictures in class today. Here are the two human children trying to keep me still (which I don't do very often).

Next step, learning how to spells better.
