Dog Show Fun...Without ME!

HM went to a dog show today...without ME! Whatever..I went to HG's (Human Gramma!) house and had fun without her!

So anyway, here are some pics she came back with. She apologizes as she only had her cell phone to take pics with. She said she fell in love with a few breeds and is thinking I need a fur-sib next year. We'll see.

Her favourites? The German Shorthaired Pointer, Saluki, Blue Picardy Spaniel, Irish Terrier, Brussels Griffon and the Norfolk Terrier.

Never Forget

A canine officer and his dog take a much needed rest September 18, 2001 after search duty at the World Trade Center site, one week after the attacks on New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

HM also loved the fact there is a cafe that allows dogs to sit inside by the tables too! So she had an early dinner and I got a free cookie too! If you are in the Toronto area...get your humans to take you to PawsWay!

Opposing Views: Should We Keep Pets?

This is an interesting website: Opposing Views. They pick a topic and have experts weigh in with a "for" "against" online debate.

Check out their latest topic: Should We Keep Pets. Argued between Human Society of United States and law professor Gary L. Francione.

Labour Day at the Beach!

What a great way to spend the long weekend Monday! Denali, Starr and I had our humans take us to the beach today!!




We spent the afternoon frolicking and sniffing LOTS of dogs and dipping our toes in the water too!


Hope you all had a safe a happy Labour Day weekend!!

Dog Park Redemption!

So....HM was in a good mood...she took me BACK to Trinity Bellwoods off leash dog park! She felt she wanted to see if I could redeem myself, and have a good experience, and also to work on our recalls from a play group.

We went early in the morning, thinking there might be a smaller amount of dogs, and an easier time to do some training in the park with the distractions.


She was VERY happy with me! When I was playing or running with another pup, and she called me (or whistled or used my squeaky Wubba) to get my attention, I came back and got a nice treat or tug of the Wubba for it! We didn't stay long, as she wanted to leave on a good note, before it got too busy. But all the dogs were really good...so that helped me be good too! I romped with a couple of Chocolate Labs, a Doberman, a Husky (who was a little naughty...so HM made me keep my distance from her) and some cool "all-Canadian" mixes.

Yay! I love the dog park and socializing, so I know we'll be back!
