105 degrees!

Since it was 105 degrees today at camp, when we went on our walk, grandma and grandpa were sure to give me lots of water straight out of the water bottle. After that, they did lots of construction work out back, including with a noisy roto-hammer and air compressor, but I did a good job supervising the work. As a reward, I got some ice cream, which was pretty cold, but exciting. I hope I get more!

what's happening to the world?

Not only is it supposed to be 100 degrees this weekend (I didn't know it gets that hot in the world!), but when we were going to bed at camp last night, the sky started falling. Ok, grandma and grandpa told me it was the skylight opening, but it scared me, so I barked a lot at it. I'll try to post some pictures in the next few days.

I love camp!

On our camp field trip today, I was allowed to carry this pinecone for a mile, and that was after grandpa gave me some of his maple bar for breakfast. Plus, later in the day when he was cooking, I got some cheese, salami, and tomato. I love camp! I've been so good that when grandma and grandpa leave for errands, I don't get put in the bedroom, I get to roam around the house. I could get used to this.

Walk the plank!

Another part of a typical camp day is pretending you are a pirate when you walk the plank. Argh, matey! I'm not very good at pretending I'm a mean pirate dog, but I walk the plank over the ditch in the yard pretty well.

playing in sprinklers

While mom and dad have been getting snow, hail, and rain on their trip, since it's been 97 degrees at camp, I'm allowed to play in the sprinklers. It's pretty fun, and a good way to cool off.

laying down on the job

Even guard dogs get tired sometimes.

camp lookout window

Here at Camp Riddervold, they installed this special lookout window and rug so that I can be on guard for anyone coming by. I take my lookout job very seriously and bark if anyone comes close.

100th post: updates from camp!

Today was my first day at Camp Riddervold. It's really hot here, but that hasn't kept me from enjoying the following highlights:
- playing in puddles in the park
- having a little bit of donut (that was pretty exciting!)
- running in the sprinklers, which I am hoping to do again
- exploring all around camp, including "walking the plank" in the backyard and running up and down the stairs

Soccer... My Favorite Thing!

I got a new favorite toy that I like to dribble around. It's pretty flat too, so I can pick it up and carry it around sometimes.

goats in SF?!

Mom took me to meet some goats that were brought in to "naturally" graze and trim a hillside near us. I saw nothing "natural" about goats in San Francisco, so I let them know what I thought about them invading my turf, and man, did my barking attract the attention of everyone around us.

looking for Apollo

Apollo (our neighbor's dog for those of you that don't remember from earlier posts) hasn't come over to play for a day or two, so I was looking to see if he wanted to come over. He wasn't outside, so we didn't get to play. Maybe tomorrow....

Escape from Alcatraz

Mom, Dad, and I spent the morning cheering on dad's coworkers Shin, Binh, and Pitterle who did a 1.5 mile swim, 18 mile bike ride, and 8 mile run as part of the "Escape from Alcatraz" triathalon, but I got tired just from cheering!

sleepy time

Sorry I haven't posted much recently. Mom and dad have done lots of running recently, so I've done lots of sleeping since just thinking about running wears me out. Don't worry, there will be more photos in the days ahead since mom had a little photo shoot with me this morning.
