Almost Snow

It snowed today, but I’m not sure what happened. Last time it snowed here I found all kinds of snow creatures. This time, nothing. I think there might be some in those rocks up there. Those rocks are a lot whiter than usual and snow creatures are white. So that might be them hiding up there.

I’m not sure why I saw snow coming down all day, but the ground is just wet. Shouldn’t it be white and slippery when it snows? I did find a few slushy weeds on my trails. They were extra good, but my person would only let me get a couple bites in before dragging me away.

Oh, wait a minute. Here’s something that wasn’t here before. Puddles and squishy mud! This is alright! Keep walking, person. I’ve got to see how much mud I can squish.

Oh, look! It’s back! My puddle came back! Puddle, where have you been? I’ve missed you so much. I didn’t know if I would ever see you again. I’m so glad you came back. Were you lost? Did the snow creatures take you away with them? Did they drop you off before they went up on those rocks? Puddle, it’s so good to see you again.

Thunder Mountain

15 Mar

Finally, here’s a painting that I was a part of. I tried to talk my person into painting me into it, but she would have nothing to do with that. She said the painting was a present and people usually only like paintings of their own dogs.

I thought everyone would want a painting of me.

Anyway, I was with my person when she took the picture that she did the painting from. We were on a really long walk that day – so this painting is from my trails, but further away than we usually go.

We have a good view of Thunder Mountain from the trailhead near my house, but this painting is from a different side of it.

When my person gets back home I’m telling her we need to go back there. Maybe I can help her do another painting of this mountain. Or maybe we can go to a different side of the mountain – one I haven’t seen before.

Hey person, I hope you don’t have anything to do when you get back home, because I have all kinds of plans for you.

How Plain is Your Air?

14 Mar

My person might not have any paintings of dogs, but at least this one is a view from my trails. I was kind of mad at my person when she painted it though.

You know what she did? She put all her paints and brushes and stuff in a back pack and headed out to the trails without me. She made some excuse that her art teacher said she had to do a plein air painting.

Come on, person. I don’t care if the air is plain or not. I still want to go with you. You can paint while I’m with you. If I get bored I’ll just chase squirrels or coyotes or something.

Well, nothing I said would convince her to take me with her. She finally came back a couple hours later with this painting.

At least she took me out on my trails after that, but we didn’t stay out as long as she stayed out there by herself. I think she should buy me my own paints. Then we could go out and paint in the plain air together. I wouldn’t even mind painting with rain in the air.

New Adventure – New Friend

07 Mar

My person let me get into the car with her today. The little car, not the big one. She usually takes me to the vet in the little car. Maybe I’m going to get more loves and treats.

Hmmm. We don’t usually go this far in the car when we go to the vet’s. I wonder where we’re going.

Finally, we’re stopping. Hey, there’s a little dog here. I recognize this dog. I’ve smelled him on you before person. He’s getting in the car with us too?

Hey, how come Pablo gets to ride in front?

We rode for a little while – with me in the back and Pablo in the front – and then all of us got out of the car. It’s a trail!

I’ll give you a head start Pablo.

Hey Pablo, wait for me!

Hey person, hurry up. What is that thing up there?

It’s a rock? Bell Rock? It looks like a giant UFO.

Really? Some people think a real UFO is going to come out of that rock? I wonder if any aliens look like dogs.

Hey person, the trail goes this way.

What are you looking at?

Hey Pablo, I think our people have been looking at these rocks long enough. Let’s take them back to the car now.

Walking in the Rain

03 Feb

Come on person. It’s not my fault you were gone all day and then it started raining just when you were going to take me out. You’ve got a hood on your jacket. Put it up. Let’s go.

Go figure. You didn’t even want to go out in the rain and now you’ve got your camera out. See, what did I tell you? It’s really pretty out here when it rains. Keep walking person.

You can look at that rainbow as long as you keep walking while you’re doing it. Put your camera away person. We’re supposed to be going on a walk.

It’s a good thing I talked you into going out in the rain. The sun’s going down. It we’d waited until the rain stopped it would have been dark.

You’re already wet person, but since my younger person didn’t come with us would it be alright if I shake myself off on him?

I don’t care if he gets mad. I’m doing it anyway.

Walking in the Rain

23 Jan

I can’t believe my person did it. She took me for a walk in the rain. She could have just stayed at home in the nice warm house and hung out on the computer helping me write my blog – but no, she took me for a walk.

Well, I’m game pretty much anytime but this time it wasn’t quite fair. After all, my person has a jacket with a hood on it and her hair stayed dry. I ended up a little on the damp side by the time our walk was over.

It was a pretty cool walk though. I found lots and lots of slippery, slimy, squishy mud – it kind of reminded me of my slobber – about the same consistency (did I say that word – consistency?) Okay person, stop interjecting with words that I don’t even know what they mean.

Our walk out in the mud and the rain was a little quieter than usual. I could hear the slurping sound of the mud every time I put one of my feet in it but something was missing. We didn’t see one other person or dog on the trail today. Not one. Just a few robins and that was it. I guess all those other people were home on their computers practicing their writing and hoping I’ll let them help me with my blog someday.

Yesterday I was interviewed on the Love of My Dogs blog. I put the link up late so I thought I’d add it again in case any of you missed it.

Snow Trek

05 Dec

Squishy mud, crunchy snow, and all of it cold. I love going out on the trail on snow days. I have to admit that my person makes better crunches though. She has bigger feet.

I got lots of sniffing time in – and there were some good smells – because my person kept stopping to take pictures. She said she was hoping she would get better lighting, but she kept stopping anyway. It was kind of nice – getting to stop that much. My person hardly ever lets me do that.

We met lots of people on the trail and a couple dogs. They were all out enjoying the snow like we were. One man even gave my person a heart. I thought he should give it to me, but I guess my person needs a heart too. I think she should have given it to me after I was good with those dogs though. I didn’t growl or anything.

Back to my sniffing now. I’m doing it for my person – so she can keep taking pictures.

Snow Day

03 Dec

Yipee! It’s a snow day. My person says the last thing people usually think about when they think of Arizona is snow. She says they think of deserts and cactus – but snow ??? Well, I want to tell you I live in that other part of Arizona. The part nobody thinks about. The part that gets snow – and today we have snow.

The first thing I did when my person let me outside was eat some of it. Not too much. I need to save some to play in. I promise, it wasn’t yellow snow that I was eating. Remember, I said it was the first thing I did when I went out.

My absolute favorite thing to do in the snow is drag my Frisbee around. It slides so well on that slippery white stuff. But I had a problem. Last night before it started snowing I left my Frisbee outside. Now it’s not going to be so easy to find. But wait – here it is!

My person says in dog years I’m getting up there. But I don’t believe her. I’m still a puppy when it comes to snow.

Only Dog

30 Nov

The weather was perfect for heading to the trails today. A nice, sunny day and the temperature felt just right. Not too hot and not too cold. I felt a little disappointed that the mud had disappeared, but the ground was still moist which makes it more comfortable to walk on than when it is hard and dry.

My person and I saw lots of people on the trails today. When we started out we found people heading toward us from three different directions. It made it hard to decide which way to go. Which person looked the most likely to give me loves? We kept passing people – even on the trails that hardly anyone else uses.

Something was really strange though. I felt like an only dog today. I began to wonder if they’d banned dogs from the trails and nobody told me. We almost always see other dogs on the trail – but not today.

I’m trying to figure out if I should round a few of my dog friends up – or keep all the trail people to myself.
