Life as a Puppy

2012-02-11T07:23:00.000-05:00

This week I met Maggie for the second time. She is a nice friendly young girl. I hope she likes snow as last night we got lots. Maybe I will see her this weekend and ask her.

2012-01-29T14:58:00.003-05:00

No vacuum cleaner.

Just plain indoor fun

2012-01-29T11:40:00.000-05:00

Time to get the road dust and salt brushed off. And use my leave in conditioner so my hair is soft and fresh smelling.

2012-01-26T03:48:00.002-05:00

Sorry about the lack of new pictures. The weather has prevented the camera being used outdoors. It has been either too cold (-19c) or too rainy (+5.5c and very wet). Plus lots of ice underfoot. I still go for my walks but play times outside have been put on hold. I have gotten used to the routine. When I enter the house. Lift the front left to get washed and dried then the front right and turn around for the back two. In spite of the weather SUM and SAHD keep me busy enough that naps are appreciated.

2012-01-09T13:42:00.000-05:00

I went to St. Maarten and had some pictures taken.

This is me checking into the resort.

I like the bed and am allowed on it.

This is the view from my balcony.

I got to see the ocean.

A trip to the pool bar.

Got to see the pool but I am not allowed in.

Break for lunch.

Check out the beach.

Then a drink at the Palms Grill before heading off for a nap.

I had a great time in St. Maarten.

2011-12-21T15:23:00.000-05:00

I met Troy yesterday. He can walk under me with still room for his tail. He was funny and nice to not bite at my nose.

2011-12-16T16:10:00.000-05:00

Will you two knock it off. I am not a reindeer, a bunny or a prince. You wanted a Portuguese Water Dog and that is what I am (a rather cute one actually). Now get these things off me.

Oh by the way

Merry Christmas.

2011-12-16T16:05:00.000-05:00

Must be close to Christmas as my SUM got her toes painted.

2011-12-16T16:03:00.000-05:00

Please can I go to the bathroom.

2011-11-28T06:50:00.000-05:00

My groomer always puts a bandana on me. This time I got my Christmas one.

Thanks Kim

2011-11-16T12:48:00.000-05:00

A lovely walk in the park on a nice mild fall day.

2011-11-13T09:19:00.000-05:00

My bud Charlie who is also a PWD has a young handler who grows pumpkins. I do not know how they got this thing on the porch.

2011-11-13T09:14:00.000-05:00

I have not been good updating my blog. I have been busy with my boat. It is now out of the water so I will be better on updates. That is my 2llgd Mom .

2011-10-15T13:04:00.000-04:00

Nothing like having a nap with my SAHD.

2011-09-11T15:17:00.001-04:00

I met Chewy and Asia this weekend. They were nice and did not bite my nose.

2011-09-11T11:35:00.000-04:00

I met Chewey yesterday. No aggression just heat and panting.

2011-09-10T15:41:00.000-04:00

I love to vacuum.

Ruby was visiting Kingston for the long weekend. She is a friend of my neighbour Asher.

2011-09-03T16:05:00.000-04:00

A walk with attitude in the heat.

Even with my new cut it is hot! So pause for a drink.

Then have a nap in the cool house.

2011-08-14T07:38:00.000-04:00

I love my park in the summer. The flowers are beautiful.

2011-08-14T04:09:00.000-04:00

Oh baby I am sooo tired.

2011-07-21T03:41:00.000-04:00

Another hot day on my boat.

2011-07-08T08:03:00.000-04:00

This is Sully. We go to the same hair dresser often on the same day. And maybe a close enough time to meet.

2011-07-08T07:59:00.000-04:00

Another hot day at MY park. SAHD can I have a drink.

2011-06-28T04:03:00.000-04:00

Boating is HOT work.

2011-06-26T03:01:00.000-04:00

My favourite park has been planted and is starting to grow.

2011-06-02T08:09:00.000-04:00

When it gets HOT lay where the AC pumps out cool.

2011-05-21T17:13:00.000-04:00

It was really foggy this morning so SAHD and I just hung around. We did get out this afternoon but no camera.

2011-05-14T17:25:00.000-04:00

With all the travel, house guests (including one of my girlfriends) and boat time this week I am tired.

2011-05-13T12:49:00.000-04:00

Got to stay in a hotel for two nights when I went to Parry Sound to pick up my new boat.

2011-05-06T04:14:00.000-04:00

This is Onyx. We meet often on our walks.

2011-05-06T04:10:00.000-04:00

Another practice with my vest. Gotta be ready when I get my new boat next week.

2011-04-30T04:38:00.000-04:00

I have not met Kingston yet but he is a great looking pup. Maybe we will see him in Parry Sound when I pick up my new boat.

2011-04-20T03:45:00.002-04:00

Got my summer cut. Got a new bandana. I walk with attitude to show it off.

2011-04-11T15:21:00.000-04:00

Getting my new boat soon so have to practice wearing my life jacket.

2011-04-10T10:26:00.000-04:00

When I vote will they accept my Dog Tags as ID?

2011-04-06T08:01:00.000-04:00

Zoey came and visited for the weekend. We get along just great. She can sleep on My couch anytime.

2011-04-06T07:56:00.000-04:00

If I stare at my dish long enough somebody will fill it.

2011-03-20T08:32:00.000-04:00

This is my neighbour Asher (white paws) and her friend Neo.

2011-03-14T08:32:00.000-04:00

I got a road trip on the weekend. Messy footing.

Yet I got to meet Emma.

She is a nice young lady.

2011-03-04T06:58:00.000-05:00

The 4 walks today were done in really cold weather. The first was 14c with wind that made it feel like -23c I enjoyed the walks but after supper I was TIRED.

2011-02-27T09:43:00.000-05:00

If you walk do it with attitude.

And always fly your flag up high.

2011-02-27T09:40:00.000-05:00

Brie lives across the street from me. We often sit at the front doors and stare at each other.

When we get grass in my yard maybe she will come for another play.

2011-02-22T16:41:00.000-05:00

SUM got her Christmas Present yesterday.

Thank you Aunt Amelia for arranging for Judith to paint me.

2011-01-27T08:38:00.001-05:00

My friend Murray got a new toy for Christmas. He is better then me as it is still in one piece.

2011-01-18T12:18:00.000-05:00

Zoey and I had a great weekend together. She is a beautiful little girl and we got along great.

2011-01-09T05:17:00.000-05:00

Meet Rudy.We have not met as he lives 2630 miles away from me in Florida. He is in training for a very important job.

Be sure to visit his blog and read about his life.

2011-01-05T03:35:00.000-05:00

Have to look good at all times.

2011-01-03T15:22:00.000-05:00

M nephew came for a visit. Is he handsome? Plus very well behaved.

Meet Digger

2010-12-26T08:24:00.000-05:00

See what I got for Christmas. Guess I am going boating next summer.

2010-12-25T11:31:00.001-05:00

Nothing says Christmas like a red scarf and a new veal bone.

2010-12-23T11:12:00.000-05:00

When your bed is in the laundry

Just make a new one

2010-12-16T10:49:00.004-05:00

New toy. Watch as it changes colour.

Oh by the way

Merry Christmas.

2010-12-08T15:09:00.000-05:00

It was cold out today.

So I wore my scarf.

2010-11-11T07:40:00.000-05:00

Two of my extended family are still looking for a nice home. Meet Brisa and Jigger. They are my sisters Kids.

2010-11-10T05:38:00.000-05:00

This is Joey. He is a young Bernese Mountain Dog who is growing very fast.

2010-10-23T09:04:00.000-04:00

And after a walk a nap is a good thing.

2010-10-18T03:15:00.000-04:00

Thank you for that nice walk.

2010-10-11T08:59:00.000-04:00

Get your shoes on and lets get going.

2010-09-28T15:05:00.002-04:00

Meet my new neighbour- Asher

Is she not cute? But we cannot play together until her shots are finished and have taken hold.

2010-09-19T08:26:00.000-04:00

Earlier this week I went street swimming.

2010-09-19T08:23:00.000-04:00

No weddings but just a walk in my favourite park.

2010-09-08T08:10:00.000-04:00

I have a bone to pick.

Thank you SUM. I will have it eaten by sometime next year.

2010-08-26T06:57:00.000-04:00

I meet some really great Pups on my walks.

This is Izzy.

She is a very cute Porttie who is close to my age.

2010-08-19T13:48:00.000-04:00

Road Trip!!!!!!!!!!

I am packed

This is my Seatbelt

I like this hotel. They have nice beds

And air conditioning

A stopover at a pet friendly house

I even got to go boating

I was glad I had my life jacket on as I fell out
How embarrassing for my first swim

After that a nap or two

Next day lots of walks

And a real swim

Back at the pet friendly house
I rested up for my trip home

I am 1/2 way home and looking
forward to let my 2llgd parents get some rest

I am home know still catching up on my naps

I had a great time on

Manitoulin Island

2010-08-17T10:28:00.000-04:00

This is Darby. Her and I have similar likes such as nice walks.

And running through the lily patch.

2010-08-04T03:50:00.000-04:00

When you look as good as I do you walk with attitude.

Just like I did on Monday's road trip.

2010-08-01T08:47:00.000-04:00

This is me July 2007.

This is me 2010.

I think SUM and SAHD are glad I stopped growing.

2010-07-31T14:46:00.000-04:00

I met a new bud in the park today. This is Motley.

2010-07-26T10:17:00.000-04:00

An afternoon walk in my local park.

2010-07-24T11:10:00.000-04:00

When you go for a walk

Remember to look around and up.

2010-07-06T10:54:00.000-04:00

It is hot out there. So My walks are shorter and I wear my cool collar.

It is full of magic beads that my 2llg parents soak in cool water before I put it on.

2010-07-01T14:38:00.000-04:00

This is the first time you get to see my 2llged parents aka SUM and SAHD. I protect their identity so other Pups will not stake a claim on them. I get 3 a day plus a play and some days like this a road trip added in. I like when SAHD gets up before me and plays hide and seek before SUM takes me out for pottie. FUN!! They try to get good pictures of me but I do not pose well. So this is the best they can do.

Happy Canada Day

2010-06-21T07:33:00.000-04:00

I meet lots of Buds when I walk. But I know I cannot fly and have yet to swim so I just left these two alone.

2010-06-17T10:53:00.000-04:00

I meet allot of nice Pups on my walks. This is Rudy.

2010-06-16T17:15:00.000-04:00

Met a new Bud in the park this afternoon. His name is Murray. His 2llgd Mom has done a great training him as he is a rescue Puppy.

2010-06-06T08:13:00.000-04:00

I got another boo boo. Doc has me on antibiotics and omega 3 stuff. It may make my nails softer and less likely to break.

2010-06-02T08:57:00.002-04:00

I like cleaning day. I am allowed to shout indoors.

2010-06-02T04:47:00.000-04:00

Me and some new and old friends helped raise money for a great cause.

And me again. We had a fun day.

2010-05-27T15:42:00.000-04:00

How do you like my new bandanna?

My groomer Kim gave it to me. Plus I got my hair and nails done.

2010-05-24T16:23:00.004-04:00

This is Betty a Bernese Mountain Dog. She is a hottie!

We met again in the park this morning

2010-05-13T08:46:00.000-04:00

I had a choice, the Chicken or the Duck. I took the Chicken.

2010-05-11T15:46:00.000-04:00

Even though I am wet from walking in the rain I still get my couch time. Thanks SUM.

2010-04-23T05:43:00.002-04:00

Yes it is my Birthday. I may have spent too much time celebrating last night. I feel older than my 3 years or is that 21?

2010-04-19T06:06:00.000-04:00

Hug the feet that take you for 3 a day and a play.

2010-04-12T09:10:00.000-04:00

If I stay here long enough that bowl will have food in it.

2010-04-05T11:55:00.000-04:00

I started with a sock.

Then I lost it and now are sock free.

I am back to my 3 a day plus a play.

2010-04-03T10:56:00.000-04:00

Today was my first day being left alone since my boo boo. SUM and SAHD went shopping and they met some nice pups. Meet Juno and Gen.

You cannot see her flag but she is a Porttie. And a cute one.

2010-03-31T08:51:00.000-04:00

I got a boo boo.

I ripped a claw. Doc gave me an antibiotic shot and some pain meds. The sock keeps me off it most of the time. No rain in the forecast but I got an empty plasma bag to wear just in case I have to out in the wet. Last night SUM and SAHD got some sleep but not much.

2010-03-24T15:32:00.000-04:00

OK SUM I say the left hand has the treat.

2010-03-17T04:20:00.000-04:00

SUM and SAHD you have done it again with the costume. You do not seem to realize what a Portuguese Water Dog is? I am not an Irish Wolfhound. The only way I am going to let you get away with this one is if a nice lady does walk by and gives me a kiss. Happy St. Patrick's day everybody even if you are not Irish.

2010-03-01T06:04:00.000-05:00

All my running around and blanket waving helped achieve 14 gold medals.

Now it is time for me to relax.

2010-02-28T10:13:00.000-05:00

It may be messy

But it is snow and I like it.

2010-02-14T04:44:00.000-05:00

Not off leash but 40ft away from the holder and enjoying the freedom.

And I got to meet Sara.

2010-02-08T13:25:00.000-05:00

I sleep better when I am in my Yoga pose.

Humans do downward dog. I do down dog.

2010-01-14T07:49:00.000-05:00

This is 3 days before I got 3 hours at my Groomer.

You should see how cute I am now.

2009-12-29T04:46:00.000-05:00

The Holidays tire me out.

2009-12-21T08:02:00.000-05:00

This is Abby.

I walk by her house most days and she likes to say hello.

2009-12-14T07:18:00.000-05:00

Will you two knock it off. I am not a reindeer, a bunny or a prince. You wanted a Portuguese Water Dog and that is what I am (a rather cute one actually). Now get these things off me.
