The Rock

Argh, Matey!

Mom and dad took me to Fisherman's Wharf this weekend, so I got some fun photos that I'll post throughout the week, including this one of me, mom, and a pirate!

rest time

I was worn out this afternoon, so I went to my favorite resting place: in the crack between the couch and chair.

PBLT, yucky!

Mom got me from camp with the grandparents and we came home. She was making something in the kitchen, so she gave me what she called cucumber and celery, but I spit them out and called them yucky! I even stuck my tongue out at them.

camp field trip to the train station

This morning grandpa wanted to go for a ride, so grandma and I went along. After stopping at a store (or 2) to get snacks for all 3 of us, we drove to the Amtrak train station in Martinez. I got a chance to see 2 trains! The first was a Union Pacific container train, and the other was an Amtrak passenger train going to Bakersfield. Boy, the trains sure are noisy. And the wind. Grandma said it made my ears blow out like sails.

I sure am having fun, but I think my barking is starting to get to grandma and grandpa. But the wind blows so much and it sure surprises me. And no matter how much I bark, it won't stop!

I Love Camp!

I am having a lot of fun at camp. Yesterday we went for 2 walks. We went to bed at 8:30 but Grandpa and Grandma got me up at 5:00 AM today. We already have gone for 1 walk. They have several new toys for me to play with (I've already chewed the whistle out of one toy). Yesterday grandpa had his last physical therapy appointment and I stayed in their bedroom. I discovered it has a sky light and I could lay in the sun indoors. Really great sleeping. At meal time grandpa and grandma sometimes give me samples of their food. So far I love it all.

green gorilla

Mom gave me this green gorilla for St. Patty's Day. I ripped his hat off in about 5 minutes, but since then, he's become one of my favorite toys.

I miss sunny days.

Since it's been rainy the last couple days, I decided to post this picture from a couple weeks ago when it was nice and sunny and I could play outside. I am so much happier when I'm not cooped up inside and mom can take me out for long walks.

graduated!

I just graduated puppy 2! I passed the final of walking along mom and dad and stopping and staying at the curb, not going into the street immediately, even if they tried to tempt me with food or a toy. I'll try to post a picture of me doing it tomorrow.

We went to the BEACH!!!

Mom and Dad took me to the beach this afternoon. Once I got over getting dirty, I had fun, but I was very afraid of going in the water. There were lots of other dogs to play with too. We practiced coming when called, even while I was playing with other dogs. It's hard, but I'm learning.

busted computer

The laptop screen was flickering for a couple minutes, and then it went completely black. Dad thought it might be a loose cable, but tried everything he could think of and concluded the laptop is busted, so I don't know when I'll be able to post again. I am sneaking onto dad's work laptop to type this, but I'm not really allowed on any work computers, which is all that seem to work right now....

yay, no more rain!

I have been kind of stir crazy since I can't walk as much with all the rain, so to keep me occupied, sometimes mom gives me a kong (dog toy thing) filled with peanut butter. I focus for a good 10 minutes trying to lick out all the peanut butter.

nap time

When I wake up between 5-6am, mom always tries to get me to settle back down for an early morning nap with her on the couch. At any time of day, I like nap time.
