No Dog Crate for Me

Ever since I was adopted by mommy and master, I've enjoyed my freedom at home. I know my host mom at the rescue shelter used to leave me inside a dog crate when she went to work, but those days in captivity are history for me. Somehow this weekend mommy thought it would be a good idea to try dog crating me again. I don't know who gave her that BAD idea. She bought this portable dog crate to see if I would go in there. My bed and some toys were placed inside, but I knew better to put one paw inside that box. I walked around it, sniffed it,...

Picnic at the Park

Summer is here! Well at least this week it is. Today the temperature reached 95 °F and since mommy is working summer hours we decided to go to the park. We went to this huge forest preserve with many ponds. I saw ducks, geese, weird birds and fishes in the ponds. There were also other dogs there. I wanted to run free and chase everyone, but with so many people around - bikes, skaters, runners, kids and family fishing - mommy was afraid that I would just try to mark my territory and keep everyone away. I wanted to play, but the leash only let...

Where's Mommy?

This is me waiting for mommy. So yesterday I missed mommy so much. Since she likes running a lot, she signed up with her coworkers to run a 5K. She left very early in the morning, didn't come see me during lunch time and then came home after midnight. I was going crazy at home. I kept looking at the door. I paced around the house, waited for her on my window seat, and I even checked every room to see if she was hiding from me. My search came up empty, she was nowhere to be found. My Master kept me company. He came to walk me during lunch...

My First Bike Run

As you know I like running, but when it comes to my walks I want to sniff everything that is out there and I love to mark everything in my path. Mommy had been thinking about taking me on a bike run but she wasn't too sure if I would be up for it. I heard her in the garage getting her bike ready and I started to get excited because I knew I was coming along. The first 2 minutes of the bike run were a bit rough. I wanted to sniff everything as usual and not really run, but once mom picked up a bit of speed I felt super excited and started barking...

Birthday #3!

Today is my day. Happy Birthday to me! Oh yes, we are celebrating BIG today. Ok, not big. I'm having a small gathering with mommy and Master. I hear I get a special birthday treats and gifts. Master of course is on photography duty while mommy gets the cake, candles, treats and gift ready. Today I'm getting doggy birthday cookies as well as my very own homemade birthday treat. Since mommy knows I love to eat and cake is not really good for dogs, she is making me my very own birthday meat ball. I hope it is as large as my face and it better...
