Manic Monday

Just hanging out at work with The Guy.

 

 

 

Santa Saturday

Hey my four legged friends! Tell your peoples there is a lot going on at Mill Creek Town Center this Saturday, Dec 1. Stuff like pictures with Santa, reindeer, arts&crafts, and music!

Check out the whole list here.

 

Maybe I'll see ya there!

 

No need for Roomba

I'm stealthily waiting, watching my girl make candied yams.

She will drop something eventually.

 

Hey peoples! Happy Thanksgiving!

I know it's Sunday, but we all couldn't be together on the actual Turkey Day, so we are having it today! I have been promised taters, yams, and turkey with gravy! SCORE!

 

 

'Nuff Said

 

 

How do ya like them apples?

Still dressed in a brazen display of Cougar pride today, we are off to the dog park to play and celebrate with friends.

Yesterday we had our keys ready to jingle, we had our gear on, and we never lost hope! And most importantly, we didn't "coug it" and can say we were victorious over the Dawgs for the year.

Just Ducky!

Can you guess what I'm waiting for?

Duck Feet!!!!! Bet ya didn't guess that! My girl picked up these delish hors d'oeuvres from All the Best in Edmonds for $0.99. They also have chicken feet so we got some of those for my buddy Thor.

 

 

Security Blankie

Oh my gosh! My very own quilt and matching pillow!

Can't wait to take it to class next week.

I'll have the most fashionable spot for a down stay!

Check it out--it even has my name on it!

 

 

 

BEST GOOD FRIENDS

 

Me and my most best good friend, Dylan.

 

I spent a wonderful afternoon with friends at Willis Tucker. Then we all headed to Dirty Bucket Brewery to hydrate the peoples.  My girl says the Ruski Porridge was the perfect pint on a blustery day (or any day for that matter) and the guy that follows us everywhere had two Filthy Hoppin' IPAs, so you know they were good!

 

 



Enjoy your extra hour

Today there is a wine tasting to benefit Jasper's Park. There will be special label wines AND wait for it...A UKULELE BAND!

Happy Halloween (part 2)

Why do you do this to me every year? Every. Year.

 

Hey if you're still lookin' for something to do, tell your peoples to take you to any All The Best Pet Care today. Stop in to say hi and if you 4 leggers have a costume, you get a bag of Joints Plus and your pic taken! I think there are treat for the 2 leggers as well!

 

 

Happy Halloween!

I'm baaaaaack!

 

Ugh, after being down for 12 days with a snotty nasty cold, I am better and ready to tackle whatever comes my way!  Sunday I went to Tricks for Treats. That's where doggies get to go door to door in Mill creek town center and trick or treat! Afterwards there is music and games and photos! I took my best buddy Thor, the Aussie mix. The best part? All the entry fees go towards charity--this year it was Furkidz 911.

Third stop and I'm already tired

Mmm! Wet Noses taste good, box and all!

 

This is my "I'm so cute, but nobody loves me--won't you give me a treat to help fill the void" face.

 

Going over my haul with my girl

 

 

Are you guys doing anything fun for Halloween?

 

I hab a code

I have not been able to grace the world with my presence lately because I have a terrible cold! My girl set up the humidifier for me and I love it! Especially after I get all this loosened mucous--it's cleared out best when I snuggle up to here and the sneeze it all over her!

awww...humidity!

I snuggled up on the couch and watched the Walking Dead season premiere!

 

 

Get the stink blown off ya!

No plans yet? Try some easy dog-friendly hikes these first nice days of fall!


Barclay Lake--For Northerners


 This is a fun one, even when lightly sprinkling. At the end of your journey there is beautiful serene Barclay Lake to splash around in. Look up and see you are smack between Mount Baring and Merchant Peak.  I get hot quickly and this is a cool hike in the old growth forest. It's an easy out-and-back trail with less than 300 ft gain and about 4miles roundtrip. Easy on doggy paws.



Twin Falls--For Southerners.


Easy hike and great for little peoples too! Way more crowded than Barclay Lake. Around 3miles round trip I think and some 500ft gain. There are easy switchbacks and great views of the South Fork Snoqualmie River.  Or check out the many options on Tiger Mountain. We did this.




Discovery Park--For inbetweeners

Okay maybe this isn't really a hike, but there's over 500 acres to drag your peoples around! Situated atop Magnolia Bluff. Awesome views. Occasional scat to eat sniff!

Get out there and pee on stuff!


 

Puppy Breath

Me and my dad, Mr.T.  I was cheering him on at a show in Puyallup.

I was about 4.5mos in this pic and he's a Grand Champion now.

 

 

What's for dinner

My girl made stuffed bell peppers for The Guy and then made me a delicious dinner.

That's ground duck with veggies, pumpkin, blueberries, and green tripe. I lurve me some tripe! My girl says it makes the kitchen smell like the south end of a northbound cow, but I don't care. She gets the 2lb bags from Natural Pet Pantry. I prefer raw meaty bones best, but sometimes she doesn't have time to do all my bidding, so I cut her a bit of slack. Time to dig in!

Way tastier than stuffed peppers!

 

 

 

Everybody Poos

I just happen to poo here. Yes, this is my potty spot. I do my business here, leaving my yard free of pee burns and my girl doesn't get any squishy poo between her toes when we run around! Don't tell me you've never stepped in poo barefoot then Thriller-walked your way over to the hose!

 

 The fire hydrant was a gift from my Grandma.

 

 

Baby got back

Turkey backs!

My girl just went to Bill the Butcher and picked up a bunch of turkey necks and backs for me!

 

Sing it with me now, My Bullmastiff don't want none unless you got...

 

In hindsight she proly should have frozen them a bit first, then FoodSavered them. Now she has a juicy mess to clean up. I have to let her make her own mistakes now and then.

Fremont Dogtoberfest 2012

The pics speak for themselves.
PROST!

Dogs & Bottles

I don't kiss and tell

Thursday night my best girl took me on a date! We went to the Woodinville Third Thursday Wine Walk. It was Dogs&Bottles night--pooches could come in and tour with peoples!

You were supposed to bring a wine glass but she thought it would be better to bring a plastic cup with me in tow. She got some funny looks and I pretended I didn't know her, but she said "Hey I bought tickets like everyone else." She totally rode it 'til the wheels fell off!

What else got us looks (and lots of lovin') was my size. Most of the dogs were housecat-sized with a few Labs here and there. I was a perfect gentleman though and kissed every lady that asked. And a few that didn't.

Our favorite by far was Dirty Bucket Brewery. My girl highly recommends the Black Lab Stout. She also enjoyed Project V Distillery. She brought home some of their Double Silo and Chai infused vodka. Not wanting to leave me out, my girl bought me some Bowser Beer. I can't have it because my girl says it isn't grain-free. Tonight she's poppin' open the Farm Boy Red from Smasne Cellars alongside goodies from Bill the Butcher.  Check out some of our haul below!

Just try and take it.

 

Don't worry. Me and da squirrel got this.

Kick Fetch

This my friends, is the Chuckit! Kick Fetch. My girl kicks it or bounces it, and I go get it!

 

It is made out of canvas(?), foam, and some sort of rubber coating.  Kick Fetch is great for interactive romps in the yard and way easier on my teeth than the soccer ball or basketball. Because it is softer, it's also easier on my girl's furniture when we play in the house as opposed to my Jolly Ball. Make no mistake though--if left alone, I'd probably make confetti out of it.

 

I wouldn't rate this as high as my Jolly Ball because I've had that for over a year and it still looks great. Plus it can be left with me unsupervised. It's my daily mission to destroy it.

 

 Kick Fetch still gets the job done and wears me out.

I give it 3 outta 5 paws.

 

 

Minus one for it's possible destructibility and my girl says I didn't get it by my good looks alone, so minus another for it's cost (she paid $29.99).

 

 

 

Coffee Break!

Before finishing the second coat on my deck this morning, my girl went and got coffee. Without me. She did bring me back some whip cream from one of my barista friends so I forgive her.

I like to flex my muscles while I eat. Burns off the calories.

 

 

No, I can still see some in there!

 

 

Aw, come on lady! Take the lid off!

 

 

 

Project Deck

 

My girl and that guy overhauled my deck this weekend.

I think the lighter color makes my fawn coat really POP!

 

 

What do you think? Don't I make this deck look awesome?


 

Puppy Breath

 

This was one of my first outings to Mill creek Town Center. I quickly learned that if someone said "Aw, he's so cute!" I should sit and look even more ka-yoot, thereby getting more treats.

 

 

"Please sir, I want some more."

Want more Puppy Breath? You can sniff it out here and here. Oh and here.

 

A Swamp, Big Tree, & a Bus

What a beautiful Labor Day! We got up early and headed to Tiger Mountain for some light hiking. Everybody and their dog had the same idea. No, really! Lots of fellow 4-leggers on the trails today.

Swamp Monster? More like Cuteness Monster!

Does this pond make my butt look big?

 

We did Swamp Monster>Big Tree>Wetlands>Bus Loop. That ended up being about 3miles I think. I got to get my beans out and smell everything.  Plus my girl packed a few of my things in her bag--she keeps forgetting I have my very own, very sexy EZYDog pack--so i didnt have to carry anything! I have to give myself a scratch on the butt for training her so well.

 

 

September Happenings

If you find yourself sitting around, licking your junk looking for something to do,
check these out:

Sept 9 Riverdog Dash--mud, obstacles, water! This sounds like a blast and it support the WDFW Karelian Bear Dog Team. I got to meet two of them, Colter and Savute & they are awesome!

Sept 9 Bow Wow Meow Luau--that's a mouthful! Come have a good time and maybe take home a real dog, instead of a hot dog? Now, where'd I leave my coconut bra...

Sept 20 Third Thurs Wine Walk-- this month's theme is Dogs & Bottles. What could be more fun (and possibly hilarious)?

Sept 23 Dogtoberfest--hey 4-leggers! You can run/walk the 5k, sniff out points for the Scrambl, strutt in the CityDog cover model search, and chill out in the Dog Lounge or tasting garden!

Sept 25 NW Cellars Tasting--benefits Seattle Humane Society.  Pick up a bottle of Tail Waggin' Red or Whiskers White.


Okay so I don't have that many activities posted, but I'm still working on it. Feel free to let me know about any events in your area and I'll post them here! Help a brother out, people!

Lucky kind of Saturday

My girl and her guy woke up with a sense of adventure this morning. Well, that and a hankering for some really good coffee. They decided to wake me up too and sniff out Lucky Jack's Latte in Redmond.

When we pulled into the parking lot I was already excited. I could see an entrance to Marymoor Park and there was a Corgi out front under a brightly colored umbrella. I could tell this was a place I was going to be welcome.

We walked into the yummy smell of pastry and I could smell whip cream too! There were bone shaped tables for the peoples and a small selection of dog toys and accesories. My girl placed her order and then it happened--she ordered me a Doggie Peanut Butter Puppucino with a banana!

Oh it was torture waiting while my girl chatted up Julie, the owner. I tried to pass the time visiting with another dog that came in, and by schmoozing a few of the cyclists that wandered in. A gentleman named Keith asked to take my picture. Meanwhile, my girl and her guy got their "mighty fine" americano and macchiato. Where was mine I thought?  I tried to inspect everyone's drink to make sure they mistakenly didn't get my Doggie Peanut Butter Puppucino with a banana, but no such luck. We went outside and sat under a bright umbrella and waited.


Then the clouds parted and cherubic puppies howled out as Julie said "Order up for Harrison!"
I almost piddled from excitement as the guy was handed a plaid doggy bowl! Before I knew it my muzzle was plunged into yummy peanut buttery coolness! My girl didn't have time to get a great shot since I made fast work of slurping it up!

 

I can't wait to go back and have another and my girl was excited that Julie took just as much care with the human drinks as with my Puppucino. She went on and on. Something about her "real italian macchiato." I don't know. I couldn't hear her over the slurping.
