Caution: Humans at Large

My typical day is pretty laid back. Wake the humans, go outside, get cookies and belly rubs, chew a bully stick, snooze, look out the window and watch the humans leave. Then I can get some serious napping in as well as window watching and snoozing. When I hear my humans arrive home I can count on belly rubs, treats, a walk outside and play time. Nice and laid back, just how a pooch wants his day to go.

And now comes the Christmas holidays and there is way too much human activity.

Like this, for example-

They are always getting these on their feet and heading off into the forest.
And how about this-

Called "target practice" it involves loud noises and laughter.


And then there is this-
It turned out OK in the end, they were making meat on a stick. You know I love that!



And then there is this sort of thing-
They ejnoy standing around looking at Mother Nature's creations. We could be home napping by the fire.

Guess who gets to come along for all this human activity?

I'm not crazy about getting left behind


On the up side-
I've met 2 new friends. This is Suzie and Bailey and like my old pal Howie, they are from California. But they live here in winterland now. Suzie is a bit shy.


This is Bailey and we are the same age. We have lots in common like wrestling, treats, and being cute.

Although I miss my lazy dog days, the Christmas holiday is fun too. And in the middle of all that human activity, sometimes there are a few minutes to stretch out, put the paws up and catch a few winks.

Here we go again

The time of snow is back again.

You know what that means....

pooches get cold paws



                         humans become obsessed with moving snow around


                                      icicles grow beside the twinkly lights


                                                    plants grow on the front door.


The canine world is so much easier to understand than the human world. Eat, nap, play, belly rub, fetch. Done.

Humans,
can't live with 'em
can't live without 'em.
