Vacation without ME !

My lady just informed me that they are going to the beach without me. Even if I am going to stay with friends, it makes me sad. Sometimes it is alright to be sad, just don't make it a habit!

Do whatever it takes!

It might be a hard task, but you need to put the effort into it if you want the reward. I wanted the chipmunk that was chipping under this woodpile, so I decided to disassemble the woodpile. Sadly, my effort didn't pay off as the lady hauled me indoors to give the chipmunk a chance to get away.

Tolerate your friends's friends!

My mister befriended this squirrel and named him Bullwinkle. I was very interested in playing with him, and not in a good way. I have learned it is best to tolerate your friend's friends.

Tolerance makes life a lot easier!

Dog Paddle!

While it might not be the most graceful way to swim, I find the dog paddle works just fine. No matter what people say, if it works for you , go for it!

In my Book!

I thought you might enjoying seeing one of the pictures of me that will be in my book Salty Dogs. This picture captures what I feel each time I hit the beach: Pure Joy! Today if you need a break, just go in your mind to the beach, it helps!

Healthy Living!

In addition to a lot of exercise, I make sure I eat the right foods. For a trim waistline, eat carrots! They taste good, fill you up , and best of all they are good for you!

Be willing to try new things!

If you look closely, you can see I wasn't too sure about surfing. While it still isn't my favorite activity, at least I was willing to give it a try!

Today , stretch yourself and try something new.

Rainy Day !

While many might hate rainy days, I find them refreshing. Sit on the sofa, look out the window and enjoy the slower pace of a rainy day.

Just a shadow of myself!

If you sometimes feel you are just a shadow of yourself, you are not alone. My advice is to shake it off, get outside, get some sun, and soon you will feel like your old self again.

Take a Break!

S0metimes we just need to take a break and curl up with a friend. My friend is my teenie beannie Hippo. Who is yours?

Dirt tastes bad!

A while back I told you that a little dirt never hurt anyone. I would like to ammend that , while it won't hurt, don't count on it tasting good! Yuccckkk!

Humans have a strange sense of humor!

For the life of me , I can not figure out how my lady can think this picture is funny. They found this fake tail and insisted that I stay while they set up the picture. Of course I had to be gracious about it. I must admit it does look pretty real, tho my stubby tail is much better suited to me.

Seek and you shall find!

The reward for seeking is worth the effort.

Have to seek to find!

Be willing to spend some time searching for the things in life that you really want.

Jump right in!

By jumping right in, you never need to worry about whether the water is too cold! Just Jump!

It's My birthday!

You humans don't much like your birthdays after you reach a certain point. The best way to enjoy your birthday is to let the ones that love you give you a hat and sing you happy birthday. You don't have to like it, but try to put on a happy face, I tried but didn't quite succeed. After the party get out and do something you love on your special day. I got to go squirrel hunting, but that might not be your favorite activity!
