New Dog Walker

I told you before that mom is expecting a baby and even though she enjoys walking me a lot, Master told her she had  to stop walking me.

Is not that she can't walk me, but with the Polar Vortex here in Chicago, it is just too icy and dangerous for her to be out there.

Walking with master.

I mean, there was this one night when she fell, but fortunately she landed on her knees. From that night on, my new dog walker is my master.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my walks with master - especially during the summer -  but mom has me on a schedule and I always go out on the dot. With master, I have to wait until he wants to go out, and sometimes that's not as early or on time as my walks with mom.

Mom says she tries not to remind master what I need to go out, but she is always pointing it out to him.

Here I am waiting on master to take me out.

As soon as there is no snow I will venture outside with mom again, I hope her big belly is not slowing her down. I like to run on my walks and to go far, and if mom can't keep up with me that will be a bummer.

Baby Gear Scares Me!

Mom got this light baby stroller she wants to use with me and the baby once the kid is a few months old, but I don't think I'll be going out if mom is pushing on that contraption.

She tested it inside the house but I didn't want to be near it, plus I don't appreciate Dognny being strapped to that apparatus without my permission.

Master and mom kept giving me treats for sitting and half sniffing the stroller, but all I wanted to do is free Dognny and stay away from those wheels.

I don't think strolls in the park will be in our future. Not if that thing is coming with us

Summer Time Is Here...But It's Spring

What does a dog do when is summer time? Well, what I do is beg my humans to take me out just so that I can sit on a sunny spot and relax!

What? You thought I was going to walk around and mark every tree? Well, I rather not do this when the temperature is pas 70 degrees.

You see, I'm a medium size black dog. Emphasis on BLACK. I'm a magnet for the sun's heat. So when it is hot outside - even during the Spring season - I rather not do anything to over heat.

So grab a cold glass of water and sit with me on the grass to enjoy the breeze.

Gator the alligator - my friend

Today, mommy and I walked from our house to the pet store. I think she was trying to tire me out since I've been a little too active lately.

It wasn't a long walk, only half a mile or so.

Once we got to the store, I went crazy with all the smells and the other dogs inside the store.

We walked around and when we came to the toy isle I was mesmerized with all the friends I found there.

Gator, the alligator, called my attention the most. He was closer to my eye level and once I sniffed him I gently grabbed him out of the stand where he was. We started playing right away. Mommy had no other option than to buy him for me.

Now when I'm home, I make sure Gator is always with me.
