Rain Frisbee

Here's what you do on a rainy, chilly Fall Sunday. Play some rain Frisbee!!

Watch as I progress from a newb to a pro!

Went out in the BIG truck!

Started the day with a bath and beauty treatment. I like TBG's shower, it's a nice walk-in. After I was dry, we headed out for the day.
Dr. No had my car today, so TBG and I went out in Big Red (F250, 4WD, monster engine)!

It was pretty cramped in the floor board, but I managed. We went to the grocery store, the Mall and then to TBG's favorite hangout...the lumber yard. I met a lot of people and worked on some commands.

How's this for practicing walking on grates?

It was a fun afternoon and then I got to run around the back yard when I got home!

Out on the Town

We ran out to the Mall so I could stretch my brain...err legs.

First thing, we ran into a very nice man who wanted to know all about me. I thought I'd give him some personal attention! I'm pretty sure he liked me.

Then, I auditioned for the Victoria's Secret Mascot. That dotted dog can't hold my vest strap!

I saw a little person in need of my awesomeness. I think I brightened her day! I was showing her how soft my ears are!

Here I am trying out for another bit part at JCPenney.

Hey good look'n wanna play?

I don't know what their problem was, they would not pet me!

After the mall, we went to Lowe's and bought a tree for the pool room. No pics, but I talked to a lady named...PJ! We had a good time.

When we got home, TBG had to wake me up.

But he made it up to me by taking me out back and burning off some stress!

                                       and then.........the inevitable crash!

Call Me a Campus Canine

As you, my dear readers, are undoubtedly aware, I have been shackled in my activities due to a recent, although assuredly, routine surgery. Stitches come out next Wednesday, but my road to recovery has been such that TBG and Dr. No felt that I could benefit from a little R&R. As the scenery on campus, with the brick buildings, artwork, and in the fall, the turning of the leaves, are some of the reasons Iowa State University has been named one of the 25 most beautiful college campuses, I felt it was time to go see where Dr. No is spending so much of her time.

Here's an example of the turning of the leaves.

Aren't we cute together?

Hey....are those college coeds?

I don't know, either!

Here, kitty, kitty!

Now we really are cute together!

Who knew there were so many fun games to play on campus?  
My turn! Roll the dice!

Where's PJ?

Well, after all that excitement, we headed to where TBG spends most of his time: a certain hardware store! I am learning my public manners.

What do you mean I have to wait until I get home to take a nap? I'm only 6 months old you know--I'm exhausted!

Time to fall asleep to some college football on my comfy bed, in the sunshine, with Dr. No and TBG looking over me. Until next time, dear friends!

TBG said I was going to the Vet to "play"

So, I wake up Wednesday morning and start my day. First thing that's weird is that TBG forgets to feed me. I kept giving him the "look", but nothing...he's just not getting it.

Then, he grabs my gear and I thought he said "we're going to the vet so you can play" Come to find out "PLAY" was NOT what happened!

All I can say is he dropped me off, I did meet Comet, but no play happened.They took me into a bright room and then I woke up with a shaved belly and stitches...along with a little pain. Oh well, must not have been too bad cause everyone was happy to see me wake up. I was a little stiff the rest of the day and yesterday, but I'm feeling pretty good today! TBG says no running or rough housing for a few days so I'm getting some crate time while he works on the house. It's been relaxing and nice having a beckencallboy to take care of my needs.

I did get to say goodbye to Comet when TBG came to pick me up.

Hy-Vee and Petco

We went out for my first "real" trips into stores yesterday. Our 1st stop was the grocery.

                            Hey...anyone....I need some assistance using this device!

Here we are looking for toys.

Hey Deb, you want natural or sugar free applesauce?

Then we went to the grand opening of Petco! I was showing TBG how "springy" my rear is!

I got to meet Cy from ISU

Not sure about these little guys, the look a lot like my toys!

TBG said if I see these guys in the house, it's OK to eat them.

JACKPOT Baby!!

I find cats very strange.

How's this selfie?

Pretty pleaseeeee, can I have a new toy?

I have this "car" thing down!

and after a very exciting morning, I took a little Siesta. I love my bed! Notice I still have my ear to the ground in case I need to check on anyone.

Had a fun day today

My brackwinkles are almost gone, I'm 5 1/2 months old and my big dog cape arrived, so off we went to visit Ames.

Our first stop was the Farmer's Market.

Then we went INTO the Mall! I was very excited to finally strut my stuff around people.

Hey Deb, can I buy a nightie?

I wonder if this stuff works on brackwinkles?

After the Mall, we drove to a nearby Pumpkin Farm!

Talked to a lot of folks and got to show off my skills!

Hey TBG, I told you I was getting big.

It wouldn't be a trip to a Pumpkin Farm without the PUMPKINS!!

Once we arrived back home, I took a siesta...for about 3 hours!
