Time for my weekly wrap up.
Monday I took my puppy parent for a bit of a later walk as it had cooled down significantly overnight. I got to wear my Furberry jacket when walking my puppy parent.
We didn’t really see anyone out there, no dogs and no people either. We did find some very good chalk art on one sidewalk so my puppy parent took some photos.
We came home and got to work on our chores. My puppy parent spent a lot of time in the kitchen but she didn’t share anything she made.
After my dog Dad finished working he took us for a walk down the street to the mailbox. A letter had been delivered he wanted to retrieve.
We started walking and there was a lady 3 houses down on her golf cart. She stopped to talk to us and I went over and jumped up in her golf cart. She said all the dogs like to do that. She likes me as I remind her of a lab she had. She said goodbye and we started walking again.
I was distracted by a piece of missing sidewalk that had been removed until we got to the corner. I started wagging extra hard as there was my dog friend and neighbor Rip. He was walking towards us on the trail.
I hopped across the street to say hi. It was too noisy to chat too much so they headed home.
We gathered the mail from the box and headed back.
I helped my dog Dad as he watched his football game before dinner.
On my last facility break of the evening I started to go out the back door and I found a little frog on the threshold. I stopped and sniffed him. He peed and I stepped over him to go check out the grass in the backyard.
My puppy parent came out to see the frog and he hopped away. My puppy parent cleaned up the froggy’s accident and then we went to bed.
Tuesday we took another slightly later walk but it was warmer than yesterday. I didn’t need a jacket at all. My puppy parent only needed one hoodie not two.
There was a lot more noise out there today than on Monday. A concrete company was working on a few cracked areas in the neighborhood.
We headed home and were on the trail when I stopped because there was a guy walking behind us. He looked really sad so I knew he needed some of my smiles and wags. I ran over to him and he stopped to pet me and told me I was a very sweet dog. He smiled at me but didn’t say anything to my puppy parent even though she said hello to him.
He continued on and we did too.
We were walking towards our street and my puppy parent turned and crossed to the other sidewalk. I was very happy. I did a couple of hops and then lots of sniffy’s. I see this sidewalk everyday but walking on it is a whole different thing.
I went in to find my dog Dad to tell him about our walk but he wasn’t in his office. I had to go find him.
We got to take my dog Dad to his doctor’s appointment and then my puppy parent took us to the post office to drop orders before we went back to pick him up.
Once home my dog Dad got back to work and so did my puppy parent.
I decided to make life more exciting for my parents and I threw up on the floor in two places. So much for my breakfast. I am ok and my parents made sure to clean everything up and make sure I was fine.
Because of this incident my puppy parent made some rice for me and my dog Dad baked up some chicken for me. They added it to my dinner.
Wednesday my puppy parent abandoned me to supervise my dog Dad as she had an appointment to attend to.
She was gone for a very long time and had a bad day. When she came home we tried to cheer her up and had a late lunch with her.
She went back into her workspace and started working on bandana’s.
After my dog Dad was finished working for the day he took my puppy parent and me for a neighborhood walk.
We ran into a dog who barked at me and I wasn’t sure about him but he stopped and said hi to us and he was nice. We continued on with our walk and we stopped at the mailbox before coming home.
Thursday my puppy parent took me for a walk in the morning but it was really cold so I got to wear one of my hoodies.
It was very chilly out there but we managed to get a good walk in before heading home. We took the new sidewalk again as they were still working on the patch across the street. I got just as excited as yesterday.
We arrived home and my dog Dad was taking my hoodie off of me and commented how cold it was. Yep it was cold outside.
My parents hustled me into my kennel as they had to run out for a little bit. When they came home I stuck close to my puppy parent. I helped her with more bandana’s.
Friday my puppy parent got us ready for our walk and put in another one of my hoodies.
We took a nice walk but I probably didn’t need my hoodie but the weather app said differently.
We came home and I helped my puppy parent with more bandana construction.
Saturday my parents took me for a bit of a later walk but it was good as we got to see several dogs out there. None stopped to say hi but that’s ok we still had a good walk.
We came home and my parents got working on their chores. The first of which was to put together a coat rack for me and all my coats and hoodies. They also needed to clear a space for it in the garage. That meant I got to supervise as they worked on emptying a couple more boxes from the move.
We loaded up a few items to go to the thrift store and took a limo ride.
We came home and got back to work on our chores.
Sunday morning we took a walk around the neighborhood. It was chilly except in the sun. I enjoyed taking both of my parents with me for their exercise.
We came home and they abandoned me to go get breakfast.
When they came home I was very happy until my dog Dad went back outside to vacuum the lawn. I did not care for this idea at all and was a bit vocal.
My puppy parent had to have a few conversations with me and I finally calmed down and settled in with a last minute huff.
We went outside to join him and I ran around checking out his work.
Once inside they went back to taking care of their chores.
My dog Dad and puppy parent worked on adjusting a pattern for a fleece sweater vest for me. I supervised and had to try on 3 different fleece sweaters.
Then we went outside to water the grass. I immediately ran over to our neighbors fence and started barking as I saw dogs on the other side. My puppy parent wasn’t happy with me and told me to stop. She also informed me that those were my friends and not to bark at them.
She had the nerve to talk to the dogs on the other side of the fence. It made the dogs wag. I did not like this so I went and hung out with my dog Dad.
I eventually went over to her a few more times but then I decided to go act like a crazy dog and bark at the fence again. She squirted me with the water snake. I was mad at her and ran over by my dog Dad and rubbed my face and paws in the grass. My puppy parent said I was being a bit over dramatic and she hadn’t spritzed me very much.
We went inside after I was toweled off and then my dog Dad ditched us to run an errand.
Oh I found a tennis ball today while my parents were doing their chores. I am very happy with my find even though I have many other tennis balls to play with.
