Summer Stop 7-My Secret Destination

I was excited to head to work today, after all I did get to rest yesterday.  I met the coolest friend today.  My friend Molly came to my studio for my expertise.  She wanted ME to tell her senior story, and boy was I excited.  She and her mom gave me treats and let me sit in on her photo shoot.  I was very good and acted like super dog on the floor just so that I could give the girls some advice. 

 Here is me whispering a secret to Molly about what to do next.   Of course she listened!

This photo is the final shot!  I love it, Molly! Good Job.

After Molly's photo shoot, my mom, dad, and my aunt went on a secret summer stop that I picked.  I have a craving for delicious grass and I knew that this spot had the best to eat.  Little did I know that it was so hot.  My mom forgot to bring me water, luckily I met a very nice lady from Hershey and she loved me.  She said, "Ooooooh, I just want to get a hold of that fluff ball!"  I was flattered to be referred to as a fluff ball, that meant that my hair was looking fine!  I replied to her "Ruff, ruff, ruff!"  That meant that I needed water.  She told me she had just the thing in her car.  Usually my mom doesn't let me take things from strangers, but seeing as the water was sealed and the lady was really nice, (and my irresponsible mom forgot!) she said okay.  The lady gave me water and a big scratch behind the ears!  It was heavenly.

Thank you, nice lady!  This water was so good.

Me, after my big drink of water.

We really had a great time today.  My dad decided he wanted a photo for his crazy blog. (He copied off of me big time and created a blog the day I did) So he posed for this photo like Tony Soprano...not sure that he looks Italian enough?  but whatever makes him happy.

I decided that since my dad needed a blog photo op, then I DID TOO!  I can't let him have one up on me.  So, I put myself on this bench without a leash.  I am a big girl these days.  I told my aunt that I did not want the Tony look, instead I was going for the famous beagle look.  I wanted to be like my pal Snoopy.  The only thing missing was a little yellow bird on my head...where is that Woodstock when you need him. 

My parents stole my idea with the bench!  Seriously? Do they have to do everything I do?  Can't a little doggie just have one chance to be in the limelight without any humans copying? 

I suppose their photo was nice...Below we sat at this cute little table.  Dad kept saying ice cream, Izzy where's the ice cream!  Does anybody see any?  I waited at the little table and never got any! 

Well, my dad just had to have this photo that is above.  He thought I looked as if I was waiting for food.  I thought in my head, Dad, I never wait for food!  My mom gets it for me right away...but I guess hypothetically this is what I might look like if I was waiting for food.  This shot took about 6 times.  You see right behind me on the ground is my mom, and right in front of me is my aunt taking the photo and my dad getting my attention.  Right behind them is some man in a car watching!  I was totally showing off for him and every time my dad said "Where's the chicken, Izzy?"  I jumped onto the table and went toward him and then we started over.  I wanted to tell the man in the car to head to TeaRose and he could buy a photo of me, since he liked looking at me so much...

Finally, the last photo of the day!

Well peeps, I'm off to bed. It is way to late for a doggie to be awake...I need to go and dream of minty bones.  Until next time...good night!



A New Park with New Smells...Summer Stop 4

Well, I thought I knew every park around.  I spend my time at the local parks walking and barking at friends listening to my mom tell me that I should not be so loud.  First stop today, Subway.  My aunt and dad went in to get us all lunch and I waited in the car with mom letting the air conditioning blow my hair around listening to zumba music.  I smelled the sandwiches as soon as they got back into the car.  We drove for just a little and then I saw it!  Green everywhere!  I saw paths and flowers and I just wanted to explore it all. 

We sat down behind the Nature Center and had a picnic.  I ate some sandwich and drank some water, but really I just looked around.  I found a nice spot and started digging.  I love to make dirt fly into the air and get my white paws dirty (but I'm not allowed to do that very often, my mom yells!)  It felt like time moved as slow as a snail, but finally it was time to walk around.  Believe it or not, we found the bathroom and we took like 100 photos there.  Everyone wanted thier photo at the bathroom??? I must say it was a cool texture and it did turn out to be a neat photo.

Seriously, have you ever seen such a nice potty?  Look at my big smile, I love my mom's new shoes.

After the bathroom, they all wanted to take pictures at the log house. 

This is me and my aunt at that log house...cool leading lines, good job Mom!  It brings the focus right to me!  I was just so happy to be with my peeps that's why I'm smiling.

On the way there, we saw a bridge.  Yah, cool if you're a human and have shoes and big feet.  Not cool if you're a four legged friend and your tiny little paws slide down into crevices where other critters much smaller and scarier than I live.  I was so nervous on the bridge and my dad was trying to be a member of the Australian paparazzi and he kept putting me on the bridge.  (The Australian part comes from his accent when he wears the hat 2 photos above)

Little does he know, we are laughing about him!  Notice my ears are back because I did NOT LIKE THE BRIDGE, and they just didn't get it.

Next thing I know, we headed to the lake and then to see the birds.  There were bugs swarming around the water, I just wanted in...but of course my mom said NO!  She is just no fun outside, sometimes I wish I was not a white eskie cause then she wouldn't know when I was dirty.  They carried me up this giant wooden tower.  I felt like Rapunzel, but I didn't have a long enough tail to throw down to Oakley.(That's my doggie in shining armour.)

Notice my head, did somebody (like the Australian?) say "Gramma?"  or "Chicken?" or "Ice cream?"

My mom and my aunt grabbed a cool pic of their tennies...

Did I mention that this was a great day to be a dog?  I was so tired that for the final stop that Aunt Theresa picked, I just couldn't get out of the car.  I just sat in my seat letting the air blow again.

This is what I watched out the window, I just was making sure everyone was safe...

Until next time...
