Armada Fair

Today I went to the Armada Fair. We had fun walking around and seeing things. Here I am under the sign. Mom makes me do silly, silly things sometimes.

This is me with Don, one of the eight Budweiser Clydesdale horses. I guess Mom has always wanted to see them up close and so she was very, very happy that they came to the Armada Fair this year. We got to see two of them getting groomed. I also got to meet Barley, the Dalmatian that is part of the Budweiser team. We touched noses. We both wanted to play... but Barley got called away. I was a little sad cause I was hoping maybe Mom would have let me play.

Ths is the big truck with the Budweiser Clydesdales in harness on it. Looks like they are running after me... hee!!!!

I was very good around them. They didn't seem scared of me either. We also saw some cows, but not close cause Mom didn't want to go in that barn.

We tried to see some goats... they seemed very interested in me, but when we got close they seemed to get excited so we left fast. Mom doesn't like to upset anything. I also got to see some sheep, but not as close as I wanted to... Mom said I got too excited so she made me leave... sometimes being a working dog is no fun.

But I did get to have another plain snowcone.... that was fun. I like being able to make a bit of a mess while I eat one.

Mom says next up for us is a trip to Battle Creek to see another zoo.... she likes zoos.

Stay tuned....

At the Zoo!!!

I went to the Detroit Zoo today. Took my mom and Aunt Yvonne with me. We had a very nice time.

It got warm but mom kept me cool with the misting stations at the zoo, plenty of water to drink and I also got some ice cubes. I love ice cubes.

Here I am while in one of the misting stations. I love being wet!

This is a video of Barle, one of the polar bears at the Detroit Zoo swimming. Mom loves polar bears. It is not great because of the sun shining on the water... but it was fun for Mom. I didn't care much.

I enjoyed going through the Outback and seeing the kangaroos although they didn't seem to notice me. I like kangroos. I enjoyed watching them.

Whee I am Three

I turned three on July 1, 2008.





Mom got me a cake from the Doggy Deli. It is very good. There was plenty for me to share with Ike and we even have some that we are going to freeze for later.





I got a few presents too. I am going to share them all with Ike. It was a nice day.

Artist? Not really

Today, I got to go to Maybury State Park in Northville. There was a lot of PAWS people there... and Ike got to come too, which made me really happy.

We all had a chance to get together and talk, and I got my picture taken a couple times, but wasn't really in the mood today. I was just happy being with my mom.

My mom's best friend Yvonne took me over to where the dogs were being allowed to "paint" because my mom couldn't get there... here is my artwork.

I think I will keep my day job :) I love taking care of my mom.

I also got to meet my half brother Karson today and my mom got to hold him on her lap. She is a bit sad I am too big to do that... but I try to wiggle the sad away.

A champion? Maybe.....

This was taken at Cobo Center in Detroit at the Detroit Kennel Club Dog Show this March.

Mom says I am her champion. I don't know what she means. I like to help her when she drops stuff or wants stuff she can't reach, I am happy to try and get it for her.

She says she would be lost without me. I don't understand what that means either. She always knows where she needs to go. Oh well.... she wanted to share this picture.

What a day!!!!

Wow!!!!

Mom said today was special.... thought it was just cause it was her birthday, but boy was I wrong.

We went to the Detroit Zoo very early this morning and what a surprise I got... Bill and Linda Mueller the couple from Ludington who raised me as a wee pup were there.. I was SO excited to see them, I couldn't stop the wiggle.

A lot of the family was there for a special walk. We walked around the zoo and then we sat in some shade for a while. They brought some gifts for my mom and also my Kong that I had as a pup. I still wanted it today. So now I have it again.

The pictures are of most of the family that was there for the walk and also one of me and my mom with my foster mom and dad.

We got to go out to lunch with everyone too... and I got to show them how well I behaved in the restaurant, which mom Linda was glad to see because I guess I had problems with that as a pup.

Ready for Demo's

Sometimes Mom and I go places where she talks about Paws and about me and some of the things I can do for her.

She bought me this bag to carry all the stuff in it that we use. Then she used her cross stitching talents and put my name on it so everyone knows it is mine.

I love it. I carry it proudly anytime we use it.

She wanted me to tell any other PAWS people out there that if they wanted one for their dog or puppy, all they would have to do is purchase the bag they would want to use (Make sure that she will be able to stitch on the fabric) and get it to her. She will be happy to help.
