They're taunting me...

Those DARN seagulls!!! We're on our walk (I'm leashed...) and they sit in the parking lots...laughing...ooooohhhh I want to get them sooo bad!! Grrrr human mom is not letting me off the leash...she KNOWS I want to get them. Stupid birds.

Meet my Brother Rocco...

Well...brother from another mother! BOL!

Here we are from the Mannie Meet-up...thick as thieves! I love you man!

Update!

So my human felt soooo bad for me peeing on the ball...she mixed a disinfectant and went back to clean the ball off!! Isn't she crazy!! BOL!

Oooooops!

So this morning I did something I probably shouldn't have...

We were out for our morning walk, and went to the field behind my apartment for me to run around off leash for a bit. That's when I we saw it. Big shiny red ball at one end of the field. So off I ran to go give it a sniff. My human thought she might kick it around for me to chase...but before she got to it...

I lifted my leg and peed all over it!!! Oooops!

"SIMBA! How could you??!!" my human asked, clearly mortified. I gave the puppy eyes, "who me?" look and she tried to kick it around the wet grass to get some of the pee washed off.

I think she's going back with a garbage bag to throw the ball away...or with a bottle of water and disinfectant to clean it off.

Funny things we bark at

So my human and I went for a run tonight. We started through our neighbourhood streets and something strange caught my eye. I slowed down and started to growl. My human looked at me wondering what was up. I started to stalk toward my prey, inching closer–but not too close before deciding if it was friend or foe.

"Silly Simba, it's just a tipped over recycling bin! LOL!"

Oh. I knew that. I still gave it the once over sniff check...you know, just to make sure, then we continued on our run.

Do you pups ever bark at silly things?? I'd love to hear about it! Leave your comments!

I'm a model!

My human invited local professional dog photographer Peter Organa to our Mannie Meetup on the weekend. He was very nice and had a very friendly Corgi named Winter.

Here are two of the photos he took of me. I wasn't very co-operative with him though. Can you blame me? I just wanted to play with my fellow pups!

To see more of his AMAZING work, visit his website.

Mannie Madness!

Oy! I'm soooo tired! The meetup today was sooooo much fun!! Not everypup showed up...but there was about 7 Mannie's in total, and a lot of other dogs too! It was a gorgeous day for the beach, and much fun was had by all!

It was really pawesome to see Toy Manchesters (TMT) together with Standard Manchesters (SMT). You can really see the size difference. We're cute in all sizes aren't we??!! BOL!

My human fell in love with Leroy. She wanted to take him home. Hmpf. I wasn't too impressed by that idea.

Leroy is smitten with my Chi friend Starr

Me and Rocco (SMTs) meeting Leroy (TMT) for the first time

Me and Rocco letting Leroy know his place in our pecking order.
(He's not so cute now is he Human Mom?! Hmpf.)

My human will be taking lots of pictures!! I'll post about it later!

Have a great day everypup!

Seagull Surprise!

I scared the heck out of my human today. She thought I was a goner. Doesn't she know I'd never leave?

Let me back up and tell you the story from the beginning.

We came out for our morning walk and went to the back field, where I could have some off-leash time. That was when I saw it. Across the field, a white target, clear as day. She had to know I would chase it. Didn't she? (Canada Geese story anypup??)

Apparently not. But my hunting instincts kicked into overdrive, and off I went after it. Well I got up close until the stupid thing noticed me and took off. It flew towards the football field, so turning on a dime, I started on my path tracking it down. I went over the hill and down into the football field, where my human lost sight of me. That's when she began to panic a little.

But once that dang seagull flew off, I turned right around and came back to her! Whew! What a rush! But I get my leash firmly strapped back on, and we go home.

The seagull may have won today...but he's wanted now. And I like to get what I want!

Run, Simba Run!

Hey pups! Our schedule has been sooo busy lately, I apologize for the lack of posting!

So my human did something crazy today...she signed up for a 10km race in October! Now she enjoys running, and even trained last year and ran a half-marathon! But has since been more on the lazy side...basically thanking me for making sure she at least walks two hours a day when she takes me on walks/hikes.

So what did I make her do tonight?? RUN!

I'm a great motivator, and made her take me running tonight! It was soo much fun! I was chasing her around the football field! She did get a bit mad at me cause I wouldn't let her run without trying to jump up at her every so often. BOL!

I'll have her whipped into shape in no time!

The cool thing, is she's running her race at the Toronto Zoo! She'll get to see all the animals as she runs throughout the zoo. Too bad I won't be able to go. :o( No dogs allowed.
