Little Friend’s Visit

I was so excited waiting for my little friend to come over today. He hadn’t come here for a visit in a very long time. This was going to be a great play day.

Here he comes, person. Here he comes!

What? Wait a minute. He walked right past me and gave Scratchy loves.

Now he’s playing with my younger person and they’re totally ignoring me.

They even let Scratchy play with the train. Hey, what about me?

I got so upset I tore up my squeaky reindeer.

My little friend wouldn’t even share his food with me. And I sat so pretty for him.

Then we went out on my trails. My trails, mind you. I’d better not be ignored on my trails.

I’m in heaven now. My little friend gave me some loves on my trails.

Where’s the Vandal?

21 Feb

This is wrong. This is totally wrong. Someone knocked down the trail marker. Now people are going to get lost on the trails. They’ll go the wrong way.

I’d better investigate. Maybe I can find some clues.

No unusual smells here.

This one here is still standing, but there’s something strange about it.

Look. A clue. What is it person?

A tent bag? You mean the guilty culprit camped out here?

This one’s still standing, but it’s starting to lean over.

Oh look! Another one down.

I think they went that a way.

Hey person. I think I found something. I’ve never seen tracks like this on my trails before.

I think this is it. Now I’ve just got to figure out what kind of creature has feet like this.

I know one thing for sure. If I find a creature that went the wrong way, has strange looking feet, and is hanging out inside a dome tent, he’s the guilty one for sure.

Where’s the Cute Girls?

15 Feb

I really hoped I could find some cute girls to get loves from for Valentine’s Day.

Person, you’ve got to take me somewhere. Anywhere – as long as I can find cute girls there who will give me loves. What would people think if I didn’t get any loves from cute girls for Valentine’s Day? It would spoil my reputation.

Well, guess what! My person took me out and we headed for my trails. As we were about to enter the parking lot a blue Subaru pulled in ahead of us. We walked past the car just as people got out of it – and I was so surprised! One of the people from the car is my friend – a friend that I’ve never seen on my trails before. And not just any friend mind you – this person is the cute girl kind of friend.

But it gets even better because my friend had a friend with her and she is also in the cute girl category. My trails really are heaven. Not only do I get to go on walks and smell all the smells, but I got loves from two cute girls at the same time.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day! What more could anydog ask?

Dog Heaven

11 Feb

My person and I passed a lady on my trails and she said she thought the trails were Dog Heaven. My trails are pretty special, but I never thought of them that way before. That means that every time I leave my house and head out on my trails I’m in heaven. That means that heaven is right here – right next to my house.

That is so awesome. Someday, way far from now, I won’t have to go to the bother of crossing over the Rainbow Bridge because I’ll just have to walk out to my trails and I’ll be in heaven. There will be other dogs there, and people too, because I always see other dogs and people on my trails.

And I won’t be so far from home, so I can just stop by whenever I want. I can take my people for a walk so they’ll be in heaven too. Hey, I think that means we’re all in heaven every time we go out on my trails.

Hey person, can we go to heaven now?

Trucks and Cones

10 Feb

Today when we went to my trails there were two trucks parked at the trailhead. It’s normal to see trucks there, but these trucks had orange cones around them and signs on the cones. I’m thinking they didn’t want dogs to use their trucks as if they were fire hydrants or trees, and if they put the cones out they figured we’d use them instead.

My person read the signs on the cones and said that wasn’t it at all. She said the people in the trucks had gone out to trim trees that had grown up around the power lines a ways out on my trails.

That means they might knock down some branches that no dog has ever been able to reach before. This is my chance to be the first to put my mark on those branches. Let’s go, person. Let’s go find where they’re cutting those trees.

Well, we found the tree cutters but they weren’t cutting anything down. My person said they were probably taking a break.

Give me a break! I was planning to do those guys a favor. When the word gets out that there are unmarked branches, every dog in the neighborhood will be there. If they’d been doing their job so I could do mine, I would have saved them from having to deal with all those crowds.

Strange Dog

24 Jan

I saw the strangest dog when I was out on my trails today. It was a little bigger than me and it smelled like – I don’t know what it smelled like. I’ve never smelled anything like it before. I told my person to take a picture of it and she did, but it was kind of dark so the pictures didn’t turn out very well. I tried to get her to get closer but she wouldn’t. She just kept holding onto me. I wouldn’t have done anything – really.

I’m still trying to figure out what kind of dog that was. It had funny shaped feet and its person was letting it eat grass. I eat grass and weeds sometimes, but not the kind of stuff that dog was eating. And I usually don’t bother to eat stuff on the trails because I’m too busy checking out all the good smells.

Speaking of smells, I just can’t get over the way that new dog smelled. It didn’t smell like a dog at all. And it didn’t really want to hang out with me or anything. Most dogs want to check me out, the same way I want to check them out. Well, this made me want to check that dog out all the more.

Wait a minute. What are you trying to tell me person? That wasn’t a dog? Of course it was a dog. It sure wasn’t a cat and it was too big to be a javelina. What other kinds of animals are there on my trails?

Where Are We Going?

16 Jan

Today my people put my leash on and took me out to the 4Runner. They got it not too long ago and I’ve never been in it before. This is really strange.

So where were we going? The vet, or the dog hotel? I don’t see any suitcases, so I don’t think it’s the dog hotel. But my younger person never goes to the vet with us. I’m really confused.

It doesn’t take this long to get to the vet. Where are we going? We’ve been in the car a very long time.

It’s getting very bumpy now. Come on people. Where are we going?

What? Is this it? There’s a trail here. It’s not part of my usual trails. I didn’t know there were more trails. Wow! New smells and all! Where are we?

Okay people, you can look at the scenery. I’m checking out the smells. Sycamore Canyon, huh?

Come on, it’s downhill. Do I have to drag you, or are you going to start running?

Hey, there’s water here. This is fun!

No, I don’t want to get out. There’s more trail? I like the water.

A swimming hole!!!??? No way! You’ve never taken me to a swimming hole before.

Come on, throw the stick again.

This is the most fun day I’ve had ever! Can we come back here tomorrow?

Let Me at Him

12 Jan

My person and I were walking along our trails today when all of a sudden around a bend comes another person with a big white dog. That other person pulled her dog to the side of the trail so us dogs wouldn’t meet. Kind of like my person usually does to me.

Well, that white dog and I must have had the same thing in mind. We both wanted to get to each other. I was pulling hard toward that dog, but my person held me too tight. That dog was pulling to get to me too, but his person held him even tighter.

My person made me go past that other dog and I wasn’t very happy about it. I really wanted to check him out. But no – people spoil all the fun sometimes.

So we continued on our walk and I forgot about that other dog. There were so many good smells and things to think about. As we headed back to the trailhead I began to think about dinner – until I saw him. I found that same white dog hanging around at the trailhead. Of course we both tried to get to each other again – yanking and pulling – and of course our people wouldn’t cooperate.

Then something really strange happened. Our people decided to let us get together. This is too easy. They let us sniff noses and —-other things.

And now I have a new friend named Bentley.

Stuck in the Valley

11 Jan

There’s a little valley on my trails that goes down, and then it goes right back up. At the bottom, if it’s been raining there’s a little tiny stream that flows into a wash. If there’s water there its fun to get my feet wet, but my person usually steps over it. She just doesn’t know how to have fun.

What I really like to do is run down that trail building up speed, and then run right back up the other side. I should be able to get all the way to the top that way without any effort at all.

There’s a problem though. A really serious problem. And it’s called My Person. She won’t run. She just keeps plugging along at her same old usual pace. So what happens to me?

I’m running up that hill and I hit the wall. Except the wall is behind me. It’s called “the end of my leash.” All that wasted energy. I’ve still got to go the rest of the way up the hill and all I can do is plod along at my person’s speed. All because she won’t step up the pace and run along with me.

Maybe I should put her on a leash and see how she likes it.

Dammed Up

30 Dec

I’m busy investigating. You see, when I was out walking on the trails today and I stopped by my puddle I found that somebody had dammed it up.

At first I thought maybe my puddle had been visited by beavers, but my person told me that beavers don’t use rocks as their building materials – and besides I’ve never seen a beaver anywhere near my puddle.

I hope I can find some clues as to who built this dam in my puddle. There might have been some puny puddle people who showed up in the middle of the night and wanted a larger puddle. The puddle is changing because of the dam. There are now green plants floating in it. Maybe the puddle will change into a lake now and I’ll have a swimming hole.

That would be so cool – to have a swimming hole on my trails. Unless those puny puddle people decided to turn into large lake lizards and try to share the swimming hole with me. I’m not sure how that would work out.

I think I’ll wade across now and hit the trail on the other side.
