Labor Day long weekend and a BBQ

Hope you had a nice long weekend. I did and also took yesterday off to recover.
On Sunday Jennifer went to look at some bodies at the Bodies Revealed Exhibition in Sacramento, California. I'm not impressed because since dogs are not allowed inside, I had to stay home while she selfishly enjoyed a whole day out! Also I had to hear about how great this exhibition was for hours in the evening.

Monday was much better, I was invited to a BBQ, along with the rest of the dogs.

BBQ meat, my favorite!

Food was delicious! But humans were regulating who can eat what, so I had to create my own opportunities. Thankfully they were too busy yapping most of the time, so I helped myself to some ribs on an unguarded plate. Man it was good! They caught me later on but that's ok, it was so worth it!

Guinness and I did a lot of begging at the dinner table.

One of my more effective begging faces, good for my tummy!

These two were useless! Lazies.

Even Squeaky chipped in and worked on the humans.

Fireworks & new friends

Thank you for all your concerns and support on Independence Day, I got through it and humans said I was very brave - in fact, I was calmer than Guinness my foster brother sometimes.

Happy Independence Day, from my foster brother Guinness.

The festivities were a bit much for the party animal!

I did bark a lot but not everytime I heard fireworks, by the end of the night, I even slept through some of them. I was happy to be with many humans and not at the animal shelter like before.

Foster humans introduced me to their families and we had barbeque. I showed everyone my tricks and they were very impressed with me. I gave out many kisses.

"Are we there yet?!?" We were on our way to the family 4th of July barbeque. 

I also met Squeaky, one of the smallest dogs I have ever seen. She's older than me and a bit grumpy. Well she loves people but not members of her own kind, especially Guinness, whom she refuses to associate with. But I was a good girl and she accepted me - Guinness remains to be her least favorite in the family.

This is Squeaky. She doesn't bark, but squeaks!

As far as people go, I like everyone I met and I think they like me back, except maybe one person who's a bit scared of me because I'm part Pitbull. He's never really met one before. Jennifer said not to worry and that I'm so sweet I would help change another misinformed mind in no time.

Doggy wash, mud play, AWESOME weekend

Happy Monday! Chilly here, hoping you had a fantastic weekend, as I did.
On Saturday my foster brother Guinness and I went to a dog wash, organized by Jennifer's friends at Dusty Paws Rescue to raise funds to help homeless dogs, like I used to be (well, I'm still looking for my forever home).

Many dirty dogs were in line waiting to be bathed and pampered by volunteers when we arrived. Everyone was so nice and I enjoyed all the attention and treats they gave me. I also loved every second of the full-service wash, 5 humans including Dusty Paws founder Diane scrubbed, rinsed, brushed, and dried me. They even dressed us in cool Dusty Paws Rescue orange bandanas.

But we didn't stay clean for long, less than 24 hours later, Guinness and I went to the park to play and got dirty wrestling in the muddy grass. We were having so much fun that the humans didn't even stop us! We were two dirty, happy dogs!
We also each got new collars because our old ones got muddy, like us :)

I can box like a champ! Maybe I'm part Boxer?

I got your neck- whatcha gonna do now Guinness?!?

Woahhh Guinness you mad Doberman!

When we're not playing, Guinness likes to "hold" my paw. He's a big goofball and I love him!
