Dog Heaven is Filled with Dog People

So, last Saturday was probably the second best day of my life. (The first was when my mom and dad decided to take me home with them...but that's another story.) I got to go to a dog heaven. Dog heavens are special places where all the dogs run free and get to play with whoever they want, and what's even better is you are surrounded by dog people. In case you don't know, dog people are the best people. 

Dog people:

1. Don't get mad if you drool, shake mud, or even pee when you greet them.
2. Always give you a pat and maybe a scratch behind the ears.
3. Are friendly and talk to your parents while you get to sniff their behinds.
4. And, most importantly, show you respect and consideration by speaking directly to you and knowing when to back-off if you are feeling grumpy.

Anyways, we were at this dog heaven and we turned a corner and there glimmering in the hot afternoon sun was a HUGE puddle! I love puddles and jump in them every time we come across one on our walks, but this, this was the biggest one I've ever seen!! I immediately dove in and made some dog friends along the way. Here are the pictures from that wonderful day...

Zeus and I getting in the puddle.

I love the water, but it does nothing for my hair.

Zeus brought along his best friend, Harvey. He's the white one.
 

Yes, I know how to pose for pictures. And, no, I was not ready for my close up.

Nothing beats rolling in dirt after swimming. Nothing.

That's me and my mom. I think she's obsessed with me... but I don't mind it.

Just a Typical Day

As many of you know, my mom is looking for work right now, which means she gets to stay at home with me all day long! This is the best summer ever! Look at what we've been up to...

5:40am- Wake myself up and everyone else (No matter what day it is!) No need for alarm clocks in this house

6:00am- Eat breakfast

6:03am- Time to Play

6:50am- Nap under the bed/ Chew on things under the bed if mom isn't around

7:00am- Continue napping or destroying things

8:30am- Go for an hour long walk with Mom and Zeus

9:30am- Help Mom water the plants...

 ...Splash in the water, drink the water...

...Scratch my back, and take a rest.

10:00am- Time to clean up

The rest of the day consists of alternating naps and attacking things. I try to plan on destroying things while my Mom eats lunch or applies for jobs, you know, so she doesn't focus too hard!

Sometimes when it's really hot I like to sit in the bathtub with a little water running...my coat was not made for 95 degree days!

Oh and here's a picture of my sister, Rigby. She is super fun to play with! She's like a toy with claws... and she's not afraid to use them. 

Well, I need to get back to my daily activities! I'll post more soon about what I've been doing since I got adopted.

Welcome to My Dog Blog

Good Morning Everyone!

Due to my growing popularity on my Mom's (Arielle's) Facebook page, I have decided to start my own blog where I can share pictures, tails of my adventures, and updates on my family and friends. I know what you're all thinking...oh god, not another "dog blog". I know about all those crazy blogs for people who like pugs or dogs wearing outfits, but that will not be anything like my blog. You see, even though I am still a pup, I am very sophisticated and a people-pleaser, so I will not be posting crazy, annoying updates. I will keep it short and sweet and full of the interesting tidbits from my daily life.

For starters, why don't I tell you a little about me...

Well, it's now time for my morning nap. I mean my mom already took me on an hour-long walk this morning!! I hope you all are as excited about following/reading my blog as I am to write it. 

Much more to come soon!
