An Outing With My Best Friend

Hi Everybuddy!

I got to have a little outing with my best friend Maggie today.  We had lunch and then went for a little walk in the park.

We did this very nice pose on a bench.  Don't you think so?

We found something very good to smell right here.

Look how coordinated my outfit is with these pink flowers!

After lunch and a walk, I was tired and ready to head home in my basket.

I love to basket ride!!!

I hope you are having nice weather wherever you are!

Basket Ride!

Hi Furiends!

I went on a basket ride today with my good friend Maggie. The weather was a tiny bit cool, so we brought our fuzzy blankets with us just in case. We each rode in our own basket. I like to ride in front, and Maggie was very gracious to let me and my Mommy take the lead for most of the ride. If someone tries to pass me, I get a little loud and yarpy!

Basket Ride Across a New Bridge

Hi Furiends!

Today a new bridge opened on a bike trail we really like.  With the new bridge, the trail extends all the way to the next town.  We went to the bridge dedication/opening ceremony.  We rode all the way from our house.  I sat in my basket and smelled all the yummy fresh air smells.  When we got there, we had to stop and walk because there were soooo many people and bikes and strollers everywhere.  And there were balloons!

Then we got to go across the bridge for the very first time.  Wheeee!!!

At the top of the bridge we took another picture.  There is a nice view from the top of the mountains and the clouds and the sky.  And also the freeway, but that part of the view isn't so nice, I guess.

What a fun outing!  Lots and lots of people said how cute I was, and a few people petted me, and a bunch of people asked if they could take my picture.  Of course you can!  I guess I am famous!  Or maybe I am just very cute.  Either way is fine with me.

The Pictures are Baaaaack!!!

We finally figured out that the picture uploading problem only exists on our desktop, and not the laptop. So the pictures are baaaaack!!! Woo hoo! Here are all the pictures I wanted to show you of my recent adventures during the month of July.

This is my basket ride on the Fourth of July:
Mommy thinks maybe she should get a "Dog is my Copilot" bumper sticker for her bike. We passed two women who thought I was so cute that they asked if they could take my picture. Of course!

At the park I wasn't allowed to run around a whole lot because there were too many people who might have stepped on me. So I got to sit on a lot of laps:

And here is my Zuke's bone! Oh golly, it was soooo good! Mommy used to give me Greenies, but then there was that whole hubbub about them causing intestinal blockage, so she stopped.
Anyway, she used to cut the small ones in half and give them to me half at a time. She forgot about this method though, and gave me the whole Zuke's. When I was halfway done, she wanted to take it away and save the other half for later. When she came towards me, I tried to swallow the whole thing! It was a bit scary for her. She had to pry my jaws open!

And of course this is me with my smoothie cup. Here I am warming up my tongue for the deep plunge into the waaay bottom of the cup:

Yes, I did it!

Thank goodness I have a small, cup-shaped head!

Still No Pictures

Well, the problem seems to be that our internet connection has become so slow that we cannot upload any pictures at all. We don't know how to fix it, and my personal computer guru just had a baby, so he is too busy to help us. :( I have so many fun pictures to share, and I am so frustrated that I cannot do it! Blogging is just no fun without pictures. Here are some updates on what I've been doing:

*I rode my bike basket to the park for a 4th of July picnic.
*I got a Zuke's bone, which was so awesome until Mommy tried to take the second half away from me, at which point I tried to swallow the whole thing!
*I tried to swim in my pool again, which went a little better than the first time, luckily!
And last, but certainly not least:
*I had some more smoothie and said a silent thank you that I have such a small, cup-shaped head.

Please don't forget about me while I am in picture-free purgatory!

My Birthday Present

I had a great basket ride yesterday afternoon for my birthday. It was very sunny out, so it should have been warm, but it was quite windy. So Mommy used my special home-made basket cover to keep me nice and toasty while we were riding.


Last night when Daddy got home I opened my birthday present. Well, it wasn't actually wrapped, but it was still very exciting. It's a big fuzzy blue ball! I chased it all over the living room. I'm still trying to take it easy on my back, which was very hard to do with such a fun toy tempting me.


Sometimes when I'm playing I get confused about which toy I want to play with!

I Hit the Mother Lode!!!

I had a busy weekend. We ran errands (I love errands), which I am finally allowed to go on again. And then on Sunday we went for a bike ride out to the baylands. We stopped for a while and I was allowed to get out of my basket to practice walking around a bit. I did well, don't you think?



Guess what I found while I was walking around. Grass! Huge grass that was as high as an elephant's eye. Or a chihuahua's eye. Or something like that. It was like a smorgasbord!



I haven't gotten to eat grass in soooooooo long because I've been on "crate rest." Now that I can go outside again I am thrilled to see that the grass is still out there, waiting for me to eat it!

Bye for now!
