Reduce, Reuse, RE-READ!

This time it's a double book for the winner- Tricks & Training! - Comments close on Tuesday.

 "The Trick is in the Training" by Stephanie Taunton & Cheryl Smith 

I used this one for learning some new tricks for Honey's Dancing with the Doggie Stars.

"Mini Encyclopedia of Dog Training & Behavior"  by Colin Tennant

This is all those terrible things like stay, heel, no barking, and sitting.  Not for doggies to enjoy at alls.  It helps the hoomans remedy our bad habits.  But, I for one don't believes barking is a bad habit.  I likes it.

Wednesday Woodsy Walkies

Last week Momma took me for a walky on the trails of Birds Acre.  It's a habitat for injured birdies like owls and hawks.  These birdies can't ever be wild cause they can't fly.  There are miles of trails around the habitat and doggies are welcome.  There are just two rules.  You must be on a leash and doggies aren't suppose to walk near the birdy cages because the birds don't need the stresses.

Walking on a leash is ok....

As long as we stop and sniff.

Check out this big rock, It's called Egg rock.

I gots kind of confused on where to go with all the different trails.  We were following the blue trail but I is color blind.

After consulting the map I figured it out.

This way!

We gots done right before it was too dark.  There's nothing like a woods full of owls hooting to get you walking fast to the car to go home!

And the winner of the book was Mack! I'll be contacting you soon for your address.

Reduce, Reuse, RE-READ Book 1

Announcing a new Event!  We've got too many Pet books - do you have too many books?  Well we've decided to share our books with others.  They will never be read again by the hoomans here, so we hope to put them in the hands of someone who will.

Wordless Wednesday, Hoarders edition

Oh Canada

A couple of weekends ago, right after Mac left I went to Canada.  I'm not sure if that makes me a world traveler or not, hmm.  Anyway the peeps took me to Campobello Island Canada for the day.  It's famous because it is where President Roosevelt use to summer with his family.  http://www.nps.gov/roca/index.htm

The first step to get into Canada is to cross through Border Control.  Humans need their passports.  Us doggies need an official stamped paper of our rabies certificate.  Momma told be not look suspicious and I'd be fine....

"No sir I don't have any foodables that I am carrying into Canada"

Can you believe they lets me in and didn't even looks at my paperwork?

Roosevelt's estate has some fabulous trails, we went on a 2 mile hike as soon as we arrived.

They also have some beaches, lighthouses, and a big golf course.

Some beaches are not dog friendly at all.  They put up a sign for me that said no Tuckers!  The nerve....

Campobello Island also has these nice dirt carriage roads you can drive along and enjoy the scenery.  I loved sniffing all the new smells from the comfort of my bed.  It was a lot of fun.

And when I went back over the border crossing the US border guy handed me a doggie treat - those border crossing people sure are nice.

I'm still here, but I've been busy!

Sorry I've been gone for so long but right after my last post I gots a foster brother! Meet Mac!  Mac came from New York to our Rescue and I gots to teach him about how fun being a dog is.  See being a dog isn't about being tied up all the time or stuffed away in a kennel, he didn't know that.

Mac and I got along pretty well, in fact I was mopey for 2 days after he left.  Mac has gone to be with another foster family becuase he didn't like kittehs at all.  In fact the kittehs had to stay in the basement because Mac wanted to eat them.  So, Mac stayed with us for almost 4 weeks and then he went to learn more doggie stuff from another family.  He has adjusted super well to the new foster family they don't have kittehs.

Mac and I went to the pond together a few times, I tried to teach him to swim - but, I don't know how to swim.  So, I taught him hows to run in the water...

And our of the water....

Also, I made sure to teach Mac the importance of a good game of tug.  He learned to cheat all on his own.

I miss Mac and I hope he finds his forever home real soon!

A hiking trip

A couple weekends ago I went for hiking adventure.

There were some nice views on the way up.

You have to follow the blue marks to know where to go.

It was hot and I was deciding to stay in the shade.

But, then we reached the top.

And we could see very far!

And when we came down I cooled off in the ocean.

Remember not to drink salt water, I always forgets at first, but then I remember.

I love going for hikes, but boy do they make me tired!
