"You don't need to go hiking all over the countryside wasting unnecessary energies to be an adventure animal. Just trying new stuff like my physical therapies school or being bold enough to approach something scary or just about anything you can think of. After all, isn't life just one big adventure?"
I is very excited for another year of Mango Minster! This year I is entering the Adventure category. I had a lot of adventures this year and all three years of my Dane life so far. Before I gets started recapping some of my adventures lets start wif the basics.
1. Every good adventure needs a little luggage. I mean come on, I was gonna be gone for at least 4 hours.
2. Brings a Map - the hoomans get lost
3. Drinks plenty of water
AND.....
4. Always scoop - makes the hoomans do it - yes you too little pups. I knows your poops may not be huge but they is still poop. Yes it stinks, but it stinks even mores when you steps in it. I always gotta carry my own on hikes.
So what kind of adventures do i take? Walkies at State Parks, the National Park, and the Rails to Trails System.
You can't forgets about Beach Walkies!
Then there's trips to the camp (near the scary playground steps).
This year I went to Vegas wif Corbin, joined a tick party in ConnecTICKut, and passed through border crossing to Canada. Canada even put up no Tucker signs when they heard I was coming... Not very welcoming if you ask me.
Now indoor adventures are ok, like Petco & PetSmart. But I also have gone to the Bank, Home Depot, Lowe's, and yes Dooney and Burke. I promise I didn't slobber on any purses.
Oh and Ice cream stores! I can't forgets about those.
But, outdoor adventures are the best! Like the vacation on the lake last August and Ice Fishing in February.
Also, traveling to rescue fundraisers always makes you new friends
Now you don't need to leave home to have an adventure! This year I've made an attempt at agility, fostering Navi and Mac, raising chickens, dancing to Elvis, and hula hooping!
The best part of adventures is just getting to go - it doesn't matter where!
And of course coming home to your couch is kinda nice too.
Oh Tucker, you are surely a contender in the adventure dog category. we loved your post. Do your humans have enough room in their car for you and all that gear you need for four hours of adventure.
ReplyDeleteYou surely go prepared.

Tucker, you are a Dane Scout for sure: trustworthy, loyal, always prepared. You have wonderful adventures, and we can't believe you are allowed to go into non-pet-specific stores - including ICE CREAM stores! We also want a hula hoop, after seeing how much fun you have with yours. Best of luck in MM2012.
