Hiking Plans Foiled

So yesterday when mom wanted to go to the go postal office, the old jalopy woz ded.  Ded as a roadkill skwerrel.  Mom hooked her up to life suppawt and got her to the car fixer guy.  He say the battery be fine (it be only 1 year old), the alternator be fine and he cannot see any problems.  He say mom must has left a light on or a door not closed all the way.  She did not think so but hey, you know those senior moments.  And mom has blonde moments, too.  So this morning we is getting reddy to go hiking.  We has a routine.  Mom take her backback and stuff out to the car, opens my door, leaves the gate open, then comes back and lets me out so I can run straight out the gate and into the car, udderwise I start woofing and wake up the nayborhood.  So this morning mom takes her backpack out and when I thought she woz coming back to get me, she woz bringing her backpack back IN.  Wot the...  Well I woz going cracker dog CRAZEE and would not settle down.  My brain woz saying "HIKING! HIKING! HIKING!" and mom sayed the car be ded and we cannot go.  I would not take no fur an answer.  So mom had to take me to our local park.  (Hehehehe - see, you wear them down and you get your way, BOL).  So it be dark outside still and we went quietly through our nayborhood...

Shhh.  Efurrybuddy be sleeping still.

The sun woz starting to come up when we got to the park.

These ducks woz not skeered of me.  We sayed GOOD MORNING!

Pritty flowahs in the park.

Check out this fat skwerrel in the park!

Happy Dog

It be 3 1/2 miles from our house to the park around and back.  Better than nuttin.  It do be supposing to rain later today and tomorrow and mom dussn't know wot to do about the car yet.  Mebbe it did not charge long enuff yesterday so she mite gib it until Monday to see wot happens.  Kind of hard to get to the car fixer place on a Saturday coz they be rilly bizzy.  Mom has vakashun all next week so the car has to get fixed so we can go HIKING!

So, I has been holding out on you.  Well, not on purpose.  Mom be hogging the pooter all week.  I did get to go hiking on Wednesday and did not tell you about it yet so I can tell you now in case you is hasing Shawnee hiking withdrawals, BOL.

It be furry foggy on Wednesday when we went hiking.

It woz supposed to clear up after 9 am and be sunny.

The wevver peeples fibbed.  It started to rain...

... feel my furs.

So all of a sudden I smelled sumpin wonnerful and got my "I be in my happy place" look on my face.  Just as I tilted my head to the side and went in for the slide/roll combo, mom screamed RILLY LOUD!  Dang!  Why can't they just let us be dogs?

Eau de Fox Poo - an oppawtoonity wasted.

There be some flowahs blooming alreddy.

So we has to cross this creek and I just go on in like any upstanding dog would do.  Mom be picking her way ofur the rawks wot be slickery from the rain and all of a sudden..... SPLASH and "BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP" (werds wot mom sayed).  Yes furrends, mom FELL IN THE CREEK, BOL!

Then we got down to the river and OMD, that man must has fallened in on slickery rawks, too!

I found some wet sawks but they woz not mom's.

It stopped raining finally when we got up to the seenik in the afternoon but then we found icky graffiti GGRRRRR!

The seenik without the graffiti.

So hopefully we find out wot be wrong with our car coz we need our car fur HIKING!

Testing New Treats for Mr. Chewy

OMD, that Mr. Chewy sent me a message the udder day asking if'n I would taste test some new treats fur him!  You dussn't has to ask me twice!  But, mom has this thing about being pawticular about our noms so it had to has her seal of approvals furst.  

See all the good fur you stuffs in it?  Of course, mom had to gib her approvals.  So we woz all way eggsited when doorbell rang and mom had to yell at us to get back so she could get to the door to get the package.  Well, we woz eggsited.  So finally, mom got done saying yak, yak, yak with the Fedex man and bringed my package in.

The sisses is asking furry nicely if'n I will share with them.  Fine.  Coz mom makes me share.

OMD!  See right by my snooter where it say the #1 ingredient be CHICKUN?!?!?!  DROOL!

All of the YumZies treats is made with chickun and then there be different flavors ON TOP of that!  And coz my second most favorite treat be CHEESE I got CHEESE FLAVORED!

I can stand the anticipashun no longer...

Common mom, Dixie be an old geezer and she knows these be soft on her old toofers - it be making her drool, too. 

I let Dixie go furst coz she be getting pawticular about her noms in her old geezer age and turns her snooter up at lots of stuff now but OMD, she snarfed the YumZies down and wanted MORE!

Island Hiking

So yesterday we went hiking on an eye-land in Noo York.  It be on Long Eye-Land in The Hamptons, the summer playground of the rich and famuss, like P Diddy, Jerry Seinfeld, Martha Stewart, Calvin Klein, and udders.  So from this sign we woz supposed to see the Atlantic Oshun but the seenik woz hiding ahind fogs so we started our hike without it.  Mebbe later when we is finished the seenik will be there.  The wevver peeples did say fog until 9 then clearing.  Did they tell fibs again?  We hope not after driving 2 1/2 gabillion hours to get here.

Dogs is not allowed on the Atlantic Oshun side of this park so that be fine, I is heading ofur to the bay side where all the pawsome hiking trails and seeniks be and where dogs is allowed.

Anybuddy home?

Woo Hoo!  The Napeague Bay beach!

So I be at the beach and the sunbeams is not at the beach and it be 10 o'clock in the mornings.  Wassup with this wevver peeples?

I do not mean to keep whining about this (well, I akshually do mean to) but would these seeniks not look better with some sunbeams?

No sunbeams up here either. 

Beach Bum

Could it be?  Sunbeams on my furs?

Yay!  Sunbeams and blue skies - better late than nefur!

I can get my furs wet now.

We found a nice grassy spot with a seenik AND sunbeams on Duck Bluff fur our break.  I had chickun jerkey and powah bones.  Nommy.  Mom had X-Treme Bananer Bread - do regular bananer bread not be bad enuff?  BLECH!

Got more chickun jerkey?

This pee-mail say we be going on a road where Puddles' ancestors used to smuggle booze in the olden days. I think it be safe to say that it woz not any relashuns of Puddles wot left this pee-mail up high like this.

I found proof of Puddles' kin's booze smuggling.  See, this be why Puddles has, ummmm, addikshuns.

So then we went out on this long, long pier and I made a new furrend wot be a relashun to Maggie Mae and Max!

So rememmer last week when I found Lost Lake?  Well, this week there be a lost BOULDER wot I had to find.

Found it!

After we hiked thru the woods a while, we commed to a seenik where we could see all where we had just hiked.  Do make note of the pritty bloo skies.  This seenik woz 2 1/2 miles away from the end of the hike where our car be...

Fast forward 2 1/2 miles back at our car...

OMD!  It be COLD and WINDY and WET!  Did you see the fogs blowing in ofur our car!  So no seenik of the Atlantic Oshun AGAIN!  Oh well, at least we had bootiful wevvers fur most of our hike.

So coz so many of my furrends liked the burds from my last hike, I brought you all some more burds - some eye-land burds!
