I like to keep up on current events!

I like to keep up on my current events, and I want the events to be current, not old news. So I want to read the paper first thing in the morning. Those lazy humanz just want to sleep in, humpph. So I had to start bringing in the paper myself. A dog's job is never done.

It's a small job, but brings me satisfaction doing it well. 

Happy memorial day, and remember the soldiers that provide you the freedom to have a free press, as well as a dog that can bring it in.

Spring has almost sprung

We went rollerblading today. Can you tell I wasn't tired from it :-)    I was still able to fetch, and fetch some more, for fun. Have I mentioned before I really love the "Kong on a rope."

 Spring is technically not here yet. People say, "I wish spring would hurry up" but from a scientific viewpoint, it is the Earth that would have to hurry up to spring. See, it's the position of the Earth and it's poles that determines the actual time of the season change event. In this case when the normal vector of the plane of the axis rotation is pointed to the center of the Sun, or something like that.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to more rollerblading and running.

Fun with ropes

You may not know this, but the boss dude is into knives. He really likes the videos from Cold Steel, and even has a few of their knives. I think it's nothing special, I can cut a rope too, and I don't need a knife, I just use my mouth.

This is what the rope originally looked like,and what I can do to it without a big ole fancy knife. Let's see Mr Lynn Thompson do that without a knife.

Happy Birthday

Baily is one year old today. We made a basic Chocolate cake (because she is a chocolate Weimador) with creamy peanut butter frosting, because licking out the empty peanut butter jar is one of her favorite things.

No, she didn't get any cake, but she did get an extra dog treat.


In the second picture, she is next to the Christmas tree. Let's hope there arn't any incidents between the dog, the cat and the tree.

Leftovers?

Wow my first Thanksgiving. I'm not sure about Pilgrims having side dishes covered with marshmallows, or so many pies, and so many rolls and breads, but that's OK, when you can find things to be thankful for.

Me I'm thankful for leftovers,as long as they give me some. I'm thankful for a warm house and bed.


By the way, if you need a little help with that other half of the turkey, let me know. Until then, I'll keep drooling, I mean guarding it,

I smell something!!!

Today's guest writer, Boss Dude

Before picture (the bird is a bit blurry)

Hey, I smell something here! There was definitely something here!





Really, we enjoy a day's hike. The chance to get some fresh air. It's especially fun when you can watch a very energetic dog work with her innate abilities. Baily did really well, she was quite energetic at first, bounding with every step as the corn was taller than she was. Eventually she settled down and worked through the cover. She stayed close enough, I never worried about her getting lost or running off. She always came when called. So 1/2 Weimaraner and 1/2 Chocolate Lab, you think she's inclined to point or flush? The correct answer is flush. I think if I really worked her a lot, we could get her to point, she is a very intelligent dog, but I have other things I want to work with her on.

Went hunting

We went hunting today. Teen dude had the Over/Under. Boss dude had the camera. I had a really good time, and got lots of exercise outdoors. We ran in corn fields, sorghum and weeds. It was a beautiful day.


I have just one message for the teen dude. I forgive you for missing the birds, but Don't let it happen again! or I'll have to just catch them myself.
