day 2 in grand Lake

today me and mudder got up very early to watch the sun rise over mount baldy.  it wuz so cold but so preddy.  I can not stop laughing about bald mountain!

it is bootiful isn't it?

later in the morning we went in to town to do sum shopping.  I saw the biggest icicles I has ever seen

thin I spied this--uh oh, where do these mountain doggies go peepee?

we taked a drive in to rocky mountain national park to look for moose.  we did not see iny, but we saw lots of preddy mountains.  and lots of snow too.

after dinner we taked a long walk to point park again to see the sunset on the lake.  but a big snowstorm had blown in and I cud not see baldy. 

and it wuz frigid.  so I cried wa wa wa, let us go back to the cabin mudder.  I want to snuggle in that nice warm and comfy bed now. wa wa wa 

when we got back we watched some olimpics and mudder shared a very speshal snack with me.  

PORK RINDS!!  om my goodness they might be the most yummy snacks ever.

it wuz a very fun day.  and an even bedder night with the rinds.

our fun get a way

Well, we are goink somewhere new that I has never been to!  mudder calls it grand Lake.  I has been to a lot of lakes, and most of them have been preddy grand.  but I em still cited becuzzed I git to spend lots of time with mudder.  Our furst stop wuz at the top of a very high mountain pass callt Berthoud.  mudder gotted me out of my travel crate and it wuzzed so windy I cud barely stand it at all.  it wuzzed frozen too.  I saw a doggy running with its owner down the mountain and it luuked sort of fun.

but mudder had a bedder idea.  she telled me to come stand by a sign for the continental divide.  she said that if I peepeed on one side of the sign it would flow in to the pacific ocean, and that if I peepeed on the other 1/2 of the sign it wud flow in to the atlantic ocean! 

now that sounded about the coolest ting I has ever heared!  so I taked my pitcher.

I wuzzed trying to look so great win all of a sudden a big gust of wind happened!!

it wuzzed blowing ice and snow right at me.  and I did not like that one bit.

the wind started to blow me down the mountainside, so I was ready to back to the truck.

it wuzzed preddy awful.  but win I gitted back in the truck mudder gived me a big treat for being so brave.  I did not evin git my chance to go peepee in both oceans at the same time.

whin we gitted to our cabin I immedietly tangled myself around tings.  so mudder sed, we wud go for a walk while phil unloaded our stuff.  I seem to always git my way. 

furst I found a cool wagon wheel so I smiled my best Percy smile.

thin I runned and runned becuz the sign sed there were children playing ahead and I wanted to play too.  but we never finded iny kids, I gess it wuz too cold.

I wuz sad that we did not find the children playing.

but whut we found next was bedder than children playing--we finded the grand lake!  and the grand lake had ducks floating on it!

I cud tell that the water wuzzed way too frozed to go in, so I jest watched the ducks frum the walk out

and of course I had to take a bootiful pitcher with the splendid back ground.  this big mountain is callt mount baldy!  ha ha.

                                          this is me snickering about the name mount baldy.  

here is anudder of me and baldy and I em still snickering.  hahaha  whut a funny name for a mountain

 tonight I git to sleep in bed with mudder and Phil.  I has not sleeped in bed with them since I wuz a liddle puppy.  it is going to be so grate.

I chewed myself to sleep.  goodnight everyone.  tomorrow will be more ventures in Grand Lake.

Toby Freckled Toes CDX TDX

sumtimes my mudder tells me about her first Basset Hound named Toby.  She sez I remind her a lot of him and that he wuz so speshal to her.  She taked sum of the ribbins he won and made these neato displays.

she telled me that I already am on my way to having enuff ribbins to make sumting for my winnings.  I wunder whut it will be.  

I wish I wud have known Toby.  

anudder surprize

do you member my giant lamchop surprise frum yesterday?  well, gess whut?  today anudder box arrived!  you can not beeleve whut wuz inside--3 regular sized lambchops!  one for each of us!!

I quickly taked my lamby to the couch with my bone and blanket!  I don't know whut max and asa did with theirs.

I jest knowed that I did not wunt them gitting mine, so I tried to hide behind him.

he is a lot smaller than giant lamby-jest look.

I ruv them both the same tho.

my giant surprise

a big box came in the mail for me and Asa today.  I knew whut it wuz before mudder evin telled me whut it was!    I cud smell it!!!  I jumped up to see it before innyone else.  I sed "HELLO BIG LAMBCHOP!!!!  very pleezed to meet you."

I played with him for a liddle bit.  he is SO extra large.

Asa dent rilly like giant Lamby so I taked him to mudders chair and snuggled him up.

goodnight new giant lambchop that I will now claim as my own.

Happy Valentines Day

me and Mudder had to go git me sum bait for agility class and she let me look around a liddle bit at some cool toys.  I wunted one so I sat down and gave mudder the "Percy needs a new toy" face.

she sed "not today Percy, I has a special surprise coming for you".  

I am cited about my liddle surprise, but pouting that I am not gitting a new cool toy.

a liddle white lie

  no mudder I has not been chewing up Asa's lambchop".  Not me at all.  Why do you ask?

speaking with my eyes

can you read my eyes?  I am trying to tell mudder that I ruv her.  

and that she shud take me for a walk!!

mini me

look whut mudder is making--it is a small me, Percy!  she sez it has to be looking goofy becuz everting I do is silly.  so she gived me blowing ears and funny eyes!

                                                  Just like in real life!  yup, it's me all right.

nice job mommy.  I tink everyone will love it.

                               

cold and snowy day

it is preddy cold out today so mudder sed we might not git to go for our walk.  That makes me sad and depressed.  I tried to keep myself busy watching the weather out the frunt window.

but that got boring.  so mudder sed "come on Percy, let's go out back and catch snowflakes on our tungs!"

                                            it was a blast and the snowflakes tasted rilly good too.  

grate idea mudder!  snow days don't have to be bore days!!!!

counter surfing

It is winter olimpic time right now and I came up with my own sport!  Counter Surfing!!  I wish I could be in the olimpics to compete.  I wud get the gold medal for sure!  This is whut I did tonight while dinner wuz being made.  I counter surfed and taked a big bite of a head of lettuce!

mudder yelled out No Percy, don't you dare".  but I dared.

why is it callt a head of lettuce inyway?  it does not have a body....

my gud slumber

I wuzzed so tired after agility yesterday that I dent evin bark out once all night long.  I slept thru the entire night.  this wuz me whin mudder came to git me up this morning.  I wuz still tired a liddle!

do you notice that I use my baseball glove toy as a pillow?  it kind of jest looks like my ear.

i am learning agility!!!

I em SO happy-today wuzzed my very furst real agility class and I wuzzed SO happy!  mudder sed that I wuzzed in hog heaven.  I thought we were in a barn, but I gess pigs are in barns, and maybe that is heaven to pigs....   I dent know.  I evin tinked about it for a while, but it never did make iny sense.

I cud not wait to start learning.  I did so gud and mudder wuzzed laughing and laughing.

I barked out in excitement a lot of times.  I gitted to run thru tunnels and go over sum jumps!

thin sum udder doggies showed up and I watched them work and thin I evin got to work with them!

whin mudder sed it wuzzed time to go I gave her my saddest Percy face in hopes she wud change her mind.  it dent work, but she sed we git to come back next week!  I canz not wait!!

mudder sez we has to start sum training with my table becuz I am going to agility class soon.  sumtimes she will tell me to go to my table, so I do that.

other times I decide to go to my table on my own.  I always make sure Mudder sees me becuz I git a nice treat when I do!  I can not wait for agility class!
