Breakfast Time!

Recently after I posted
a few peeps and pups inquired 
as to what I have for breakfast each day.

I am on a Raw Food Menu 
starting with some grains 
from oatmeal to any fiber feeling alternative,
plus veggies like the carrot and apple above
to spinach, left over sweet potato and banana.
Whatever is in the fridge goes into the mix,
I like everything...really I do!

Yummy yogourt just adds that flavour and 
the mixture is much easier to munch and slurp on.

An egg sometimes works its way into the pan.

The guys are conscientious about vitamins, minerals and the like
just like they are for themselves.
The oils are varied as well from olive to fish to grapeseed.

The main ingredient is the meat component
from beef to chicken to pork to organ blends with
bones included twice a week.
I weigh approximately 65 lbs and
with this figure 1-1.25ls of protein
is all I require for a well-rounded meal.



You see me devouring one of my meals,
but before this meal is prepared
I have to help the guys bring
the ingredients into the house.
Got to make myself useful
and get the best reward ever...

~~~My Breakfast~~~

The guys tell me all the time
that I have a great smell
no offensive "you know what" smell
since I've been on this menu.
I tried kibble in my first year or so
and "peeuuuu"
I was always shoed out of the room.
Not now...so this is a major plus for
the Raw Food Menu
and I do feel very healthy.

Ball Catching Techniques!

Ron and I went to the beach again...!
much later in the day though, 
unlike the 6:30 am visit recently.


It so happened that I managed to practice 
my "ball catching" techniques
pretty much all of them
and 
you'll notice that practice does make perfect!

These are my basic moves in order 
as you view the video...Enjoy!

~~~front paws into the sand dive~~~

~~~1 Bounce Catch ~~~
(a couple times)

~~~"Up Up" Catch~~~

~~~Quick Stop Block Ball Snag~~~

~~~1 Bounce into H2O~~~

~~~Full Kick Down the Beach Catch~~~

~~~2 Bounce Catch~~~

~~~Low Throw Catch in H2O~~~

~~~2 Bounce Catch into H2O~~~

(phew...and all of these manouvres you'll see in the 1st half of the video)

The rest of the video is calming wave action and sniffing
some large grey rocks. 

 For those of you who miss my long hair,
here's a sweet reminder
and 
you'll notice that having my haircut
has not effected my agility or ball catching prowess.

Early Morning "Wake Up" Walk!

 Yes, it's 6:30 a.m.

 and before I knew it 

 Ron and I were out the door 
 taking advantage of early morning sun on the boardwalk.

 We decided to take a gander at the beach,

 just to see if there was any room to walk on the sand.

 Now I see grass and rocks on this side!

 and mucho, mondo, many rocks on this side...

 A thin line of sand skirts the edge of the waterline,

 but not enough to entice us to take that route back to the car.

 With an about turn we headed back to the car, 

 up over the staircase viewing the lake on the other side  of the roadway.

 One last doodle sniff on this step and

Guess What?
Guess who worked up
a major breakfast appetite!

Park Run!

Before I got my locks sheared off last week,
we headed to the park for a run.
The weather was bright, sunny and windy.


On one field,
I met a whippet
who ran like lightning
and then some!

After that we went for a swim in the Northwest Arm
and I caught Mr. Orangie
many times in the wave action.

  The jaunt was topped off
with a short if non-existent drink of water
in the grotto.

Have a look-see 
and enjoy!



The quality of the video was sort of strange,
sorry for that...
at least you can see where I ran, swam and sipped
my H2O!

New "Summer Do" Jaunt!

"Listen closely!"
I heard,
as I stood beside Ron 
near the entrance to the park.

A lady needs to show off her new, stylish tresses,
after spending 3 hours at the Doggy Salon!

 Sniffing is intensified when more doggies
show up at the park
especially on a Sunday morning!

See what I mean!
Everywhere "calling cards"
them's is the best, 
you know!

 Exuberance personified
with Jim trying his dangdest to catch me....hah ha ha!

After so much fun and a friendly scratch
from Ron we headed for home.

....where I snagged my favourite spot on the deck
in the sun to catch some Zzzzzz's.....
many Zzzzzzz's!

New Doggy?

 Toenails are neat and tidy!

Ears look pretty much like mine!

Blond eyebrows!
There's only one with those I thought!

 Beautiful chocolatey velvety hair!

Offset by a limey/applegreen/olive collar!

 Oh Oh! 
...it's me again...
sporting my summer cut
as Sandra the Salon Keeper told me!

Give me 6 months and 
I'll be back to my "oh so" shaggy look!

But for now 
I'm feeling clean and tidied up
and raring to go...
full of vim and vigour!
