Stroke Camp

Whew! I'm tired. Friday we went to this place on Lake Huron. It was a trip for people that survived a stroke and their families. Mommy takes care of people who have had a stroke--so she was allowed to come. There was lots of wilderness and good animal smells. There were over 100 people there and I got a little over stimulated on occasion. I know when my vest in on I have to behave. There were so many nice people that just wanted to snuggle & kiss them. I had a little trouble staying focused. The people thought I was just perfect but Mom knows what I'm capable of. She's so strict. I wanted to chase the kittens and there was a remote control truck that scared me and I barked. I guess that is not acceptable. Then I had quiet time in my crate in the cabin. That was nice.We had normal camp things like sing-a-longs, smores, arts & crafts,
hay ride and a beach party.
My friend Cisco and my brother Karson came to camp for the day. We had to tell the people about PAWS and how they could benefit from a service dog. Then we got to walk by the water and chase the waves. Karson & I don't really care to get too deep in the water. Cisco on the other hand, was on a long leash and he swam and got the stick. Good for him. I didn't want to go that far. I like my baby pool at home.
I found another John Deere to ride.

On the road again

Mommy's packing the car again. This time we're going to a place called Camp. I was trying to help and carried Snickers food bowl around so we didn't forget it.
He is not allowed to go so I had to put it back were I found it. Next time I'll share the pictures from my trip.
I'm also getting ready to go to college. I got my admission papers in the mail. We're filling them out so College will know what I've already learned. It just seems like I came to live here and it's almost time to move again. I hope when I get a little older I'll be able to find my forever family & a job like Owen & Tank.

Zoo Time

My buddy Cooley likes the zoo. As soon as I was 1 year old I had to check it out. He's right- it is very fun. I saw & smelled lots of strange animals. Of course I was most interested in the birds flying around. I am a bird dog you know! Mommy said those were not toys to play with and I had to leave it. NO FUN!

It was a hot day so I had lots of ice cookies. The best. We went into the ground into this long tube to see polar bears. Looked like they were having fun in the pool. I wish I could have splashed around a little in the heat of the day.

Then we went to the Outback. Everyone said I don't look like an Aussie. Don't they know what an Aussie looks like?

The kangaroos didn't want to play so I settled for a stuffed one. I would have liked to take that fine lookin' sheila home with me. we could snuggle.

Birthday Girl

Today I'm a big girl. 1 year old! We had a party at Grandma & Grandpa's house. We had special cookies and I got some nice presents. Of course I shared my toys but I made sure they came home with me.

Here's a few pictures of my party guests in our hats

Swimming in Lake Michigan

Today I went to this place called Pointe Betsie. There was this warm stuff called sand that my feet slid in. What I really loved was this big pool that had waves and lots of rocks to chase. Everytime I tried to pick up the rock the water would pull it away. I tried to dig a hole but it kept filling back up. So I dug faster. I was covered in sand. It was fun!

I liked to chase the waves but I'm not quite sure about this swimming thing. Maybe next time I'll be brave.

Cherry Festival Time

Today we went to a big party outside and there were lots of people. There were all these good smelling things called cherries. They put those things in pies and jelly & salsa too. Mom sampled most of them. I got yelled at for trying my own sample from the ground.

We saw these people called the Blue Angels. They flew through the air. They were very loud but I wasn't bothered. They flew very close to the ground too. I didn't seem to care about that either. You can see the planes behind me if you look close
