a romp in the park

Mudder wuz worried that I might be scairt of random doggies since I got attacked last night.  so she taked me to the doggie park to play with some nice friends.  I met fun buddies and wuz never rilly scairt innyway.  If I'm not afraid of these 2 big Alaskan dogs I'm not afraid of anything...

we played follow the leader.  this big boy wuz a pest.  he bothered evrybuddy at the park.

I tagged one of the Alaskan dogs, but he jest stared at me.  

so I sticked my tung out and ran away.  then he chased!!

nothing to worry about mudder, the attack has not scarred me at all.

attack

Can you tell me why other doggies don't like me?  I try so hard to be happy and funny.  and I tink I am preddy cute too.  today on my walk with phil I got ambush attacked by a crazy off leash dog.  phil saved me before he could bite out.  I was jest fine, but I don't understand why I get growled at on my walks.

make a wish

today at the park I found a patch of dannylions.  I tried to smell the flowers cuz mudder always sez take time to do that Percy.  When I taked a sniff I felt tickly tings on my snout. Mudder laughed and sed "oh Percy, you are so funny".

I ate a couple of dannylions too.  my tung did not like them all that much.

I laid down in the patch of flowers and thought about hunting more hippities.

but thin I found a football!  mudder tossed it around and evin kicked it like a football player.

our wok was great today.  there are so many baby rabbits.  I chased one, but mostly I chased the big ones.  oh, I also found a big dead bull snake in the ditch.  

Cabelas

I got to go to Cabelas today.  there was so much to see and do.  I evin got to practice my down stay.

I met some big fish.  too bad they were behind some glass.  I tried to sniff them, but could not.

I posed for a pitcher under a big ole moose.  

and then, I wuz treated like a king.  Mudder let me go on the most comfy bed in the whole store and surround myself by a bunch of huge bones.  

I falled asleep just sniffing the bones.  it wuz a nice trip.

no agility today

Mudder discovered a liddle lump on me today.  she sed she dent think we shud go to agility today so that it wuldnt make it worse.

canz you see it?  it is kind of , but it doesn't hurt at all.  I got to sleep all day on the couch agin. Mudder evin put an ice pack on it for me.  not too bad at all.  but I em lukking forward to going back to learning more agility next week..

it almost worked

I am still sulking about how my plan to blame grouchy pants for digging a hole did not work.  So I tried to set him up by tempting him with an empty bag of doggie food.  I made a bunch of rustiling sounds and sed nom nom nom nom.  I lukked at him with nom nom eyes.

I pretended like I wuz hasing a big ole meal to myself.  

it worked!  grouchy pants sicked his whole head in and I said HAHA, I got you!  you are going to be in so much trubble now...

but mudder wuz no where to be seen.  and later when she saw that I had dragged the empty bag out, she sed "bad boy Percy".  "I think we shud go inside and you shud take a liddle nap".

wow!  I like this kind of trubble....a liddle nap on mudders lap.  she sure ruvs me so much. I will get you grouchy pants Asa, just whin you don't expect it....

i blamed grouchy pants

today I digged a liddle hole in the back yard.  jest a liddle one and I tink I digged it becuz I ate a blade of grass thin went all crazy.  Mudder and grouchy pants Asa came outside to see whut all the rukuc wuzzed about.  I runned away frum the scene and whin Asa followed his nose to my crime, I blamed him!  I told mudder "ohhh mudder, lookit whut bad boy has digged".

it did not work, Mudder is not a fool.  she told me to go inside so she cud bury the hole.  and grouchy pants whispered in my ear that I wuzzed a big brat.  

and he chased me back in to the house...

AND next he helped himself to injoy the sun on my outdoor cushions!  hmmmmpf

I will git him in some sort of trubble sum day...

sleepy tired

the past 2 days has been so busy that today I spent a lot of time jest resting and dreaming of our fun.

I sleep in all kinds of different positions,

I change it around from upside right to upside down.

I tink I like the white bottom side bedder.  whut a great way to finish my long weekend.

I has never had to wear a snood to keep my ears clean before so mudder sed we bedder start gitting used to wearing one  Asa wunted to join in, so mudder dressed him in his bling bling snood and he ruvved it!  I laughed at him.

thin it wuzzed my turn too, so mudder picked a great color for me!  but mine did not have bling and sparkles on it and I wuzzed jelous.  Asa lukked bedder than me for sure.,

So mudder sed, come here jelous boy, you can try out Asas bling bling snood, but you canz not have it.  so we traded snoods and places!

i tried to luk as sophisticated as grounchy pants Asa, but it jest dent work out that way..

and I has to admit--grouchy pants Asa truly luks so dapper!!!!

what a pest

Kitty cat gits away with making so much trubble.  today she hauled out all kinds of Mudders tings frum under her bed.  I heard Mudder go in her room and say "whut in the world has you done, Bronwyn?"  I tink it is time for some obedience training for her.  or maybe a paddling...

she is admiring her work.

a blustery day

April time in Colorado is always so windy.  My lips and ears are flapping.  Mudder sez "it is a gud ting you are so low to the ground and heavy Percy."  "otherwise you might blow away today!"

kitty cat escape artist

Me and grouchy pants Asa and Mudder were enjoying a nice springtime day on the porch when suddenly this happened...  Bronwyn helped herself to our doggie door!!!

she is not supposed to come outside, but she did inyway!

she is NOT a doggie to go thru the door...as soon as I saw this, I chased her right back inside.  Mudder sed "gud boy Percy, kitty cat is not supposed to be outside".  "Now go back to sunning yourself now".  So I did.  Whut wud life be like around here without me helping everybuddy out?

I love saving the day.
