Wow, I’m pooped

It was really nice outside, so I took Mom and Dad on a hike. Mom and I have been on this short trail before, but it was new to Dad. Boy was he surprised at how much I enjoyed the mud. It was GREAT!

Dad even found a drinking fountain for dogs, but I didn’t really need it because Mom always shares her water with me.  I’ll keep it in mind for the next time we go there, for the cool factor, if for nothing else.

I thought we were done for the day after the hike, but Mom reminded Dad that I was out of my favorite treat and asked if we could stop at the pet store. Dad remembered that he needed to pick up some more stuff for my play area (wait until you see it!), so we left Dad at the hardware store and went on to the pet store.

As usual, I turned a lot of heads. I wished then, that my business cards were here so I could pass them out. I impressed a few people when Mom told them that I have my own blog.

I met a few dogs and even started to like a couple of them. “Like” being a relative term. I wasn’t about to play with them, but I did touch their nose and let them sniff me a little. I guess it wasn’t tooooooo bad.

Dad took an awfully long time at the hardware store, but that worked out in my favor. Mom found replacements for my out of shape girlfriend. Yeah, yeah, yeah…. I’m a guy- what do you expect? You’ve heard the term, “trade in a 40 for two 20’s”? Well, here’s proof of that

Twins, no less!

I’m very fussy about my nails and I don’t let mom near them with that thing she calls a nail clipper. I call it a torture device. While we were at the pet store, I had a Mani-Pedi. It wasn’t the most horrible thing that has happened to me, but it doesn’t go on my list of things I like to do. I have no idea why people think that’s so great. Whatever rocks your socks, I guess.

As an extra fun surprise, Mom and Dad bought me a pool! I guess my subtle hints of jumping in any puddle or stream of water worked. I’m getting pretty good at this. I wonder what I’ll ask for next….

I was out with Mom and Dad for almost six hours by the time we were done. That was enough for me. I was dog tired. heh heh heh, dog tired…. I kill myself.
