Today we went for a long ride in the car, so we could see Momma Broady and Big Daddy Ern. After Mommy and Daddy took FOREVER to get things in the car, they finally let us come out. I ran out and jumped up in the back of the car, but couldn’t get to the front seat. 
Daddy had put a thing (mesh screen) up that we could see through but not go through. :( I love riding in the car, but sometimes I want to lie on Mommy’s lap. Why no more? Mommy and Daddy got food (yeah, we could still see and could smell it), but we didn’t get any. :( I couldn’t even show them my cute face that usually makes Mommy or Daddy give me food. I did lie down in the back when they got out for a little while, but I was not happy (I normally sit in Daddy’s seat when he leaves the car). :( I do not like new car thing.

I got a new toy today!!! I normally don’t like toys unless they squeak really, really loud or Ossian likes it. Even then, I just take it so he can’t play with it. But today, Daddy brought in a box, and when Mommy got home, she opened it. The last time this happened: treats! This time, there were no treats. There was a little thing, a big scary thing (rubber braided stick) and mine! New toy tastes and feels good in the middle (rubber), squeaks on the end, and has things that Ossian tries to grab but cannot get. Lots of fun! I think this toy’s a keeper!
Today, we went to a new place (agility practice by Best Friends, Nicholasville). When Ossian and I got out of the car, we noticed new smells. Then, Daddy took me and tried to make me do things for treats. I don’t mind going through tunnels, and I am an awesome climber, but I do not jump over bars. There is no duck flying over the bar, so why should I go over it? I did as much as I wanted, then got tired of doing things for treats. (Side note: Dad, please bring Viennas if you expect me to do things for treats!) Daddy kept me on a leash, but I noticed Ossian (not on a leash… unfair) barking at something. I finally got off leash, and it was on! There was a fence, but on the other side were things I had never seen before. Ossian and I barked, ran, and barked at these big things. They didn’t know what to do, so they walked away from us. I want one! I love playing with dogs bigger than me, so I would have a blast with these things! Daddy made me do a couple more things for treats, but all Ossian and wanted to do was bark at the big things.
Ok, maybe it was just two ducks. But Mommy and Daddy took us to the park today, which was fun I guess. There was one dog I played with for a few minutes who liked to run into me. I like playing rough, and I always win! After we walked to get some water, we left. Normally, we just go right home, but today Mommy drove and kept telling me to look for the bunnies. I looked and looked but there were none (because I would’ve seen them and gotten them), but then Mommy and Daddy showed me the ducks. Oh my gosh, I WANT DUCKS! Mommy stopped and we got out. She kept me on my leash (BOO!!!) but we got SO close to the ducks! I even got their tail a couple of times. We came back to the car because Ossian was whining, but them Daddy took me on a duck chase. I got to them again, and then again, then all of a sudden they were gone. What would I do with the ducks? The same thing I do with the red dot. I would catch them, release them, chase them, catch them, release them, repeat. I don’t want to eat duck, but they’re fun to chase. Oh, and I WILL catch duck.
This big thing (a box from Mr. Chewy) came today and sat outside until Daddy brought it in. When he opened the door with it, I smelled something GOOD. Mommy opened the box, and I was IN. Bones, bones, treats, and bones. Gimme, gimme, gimme! My favorite thing is to chew on bones (and my least favorite thing is when Koda steals them). The big bone had bacon in it and it was SO GOOD. The other bones were good too. A couple of them looked different (spirals) but I ate them anyway. Mommy also gave us the treats (I got more than Koda because she likes me better). This was the best day, and I didn’t even have to do much to get the treats and bones. I can’t wait until we get another big thing!
Mommy and Daddy took us to the park today. We’ve been a few times since the weather got warmer, and there have been lots of dogs there. I like when there’s little dogs that want me to chase them because I love running. (Don’t tell Mommy, but it’s also fun when I roll them.) Today, there were a bunch of dogs, and I saw two dogs starting to go at each other. Before long, I, Ossian, big dog, big dog, medium dog, little dog, medium dog, big dog, and little dog were all over in the same area (when we hear barking, Ossian and I have to see what’s going on). Mommy and Daddy must have noticed the bad dogs and the fight before anyone else, because as soon as brother and I started running towards it, they called us over. Being a good girl, I went and sat next to Daddy and Ossian sat with Mommy. There was barking, yelling, and running because of the fight. Some people were really mad at each other and their dogs, but Ossian and I were good and Mommy and Daddy were calm. We had to leave because the other dogs were trouble. We ended up going to the next park to run around and look in holes. Daddy said he was proud of us. Uh, yeah, I’M A GOOD GIRL!
Happy Birthday to my favorite dog friend, Koda. Koda has been with us for 2 years. I was not really happy when I first met her, but when we went out in the back yard, she wanted to play, and it was cool having someone to play with and chase. She may be mean to me sometimes (like when she steals my bone…ugh) but I love my sis! I know she had a good birthday today because she loves swimming, so that’s what we did (well, that’s what she did. I don’t remember how…) Anyway, Happy Birthday to my little or big sis.
Long day meant that we slept all night. I sleep so much better when I’m tired. We all finally got up (Mommy was last) and left the hotel. Mommy and Daddy got out of the car for a little while, but they knew everything would be okay because I was there. I protected the car and barked at EVERYBODY that walked by. Ossian just sat in the front seat and stared out the window, not doing anything to help me. Oh well, I handled it. They came back to the car and we went back to the park one more time. There was a new dog (an Airedale) that came in and I played with her. She was fun; bigger than me, though not as fast. She liked to wrestle like Ossian does, so we played for a while. Mommy and Daddy think I play too rough, but these dogs can handle it…Ossian does!
We left the park, rode in the car for a while, then were at a new park (Sawyer Park in Louisville). This place was very cool. It had lots of dogs and lots of trees. One of my favorite things is looking for bunnies/squirrels/ducks/geese/things that move. So, I sometimes take off in search of these. I’ve never caught anything, but don’t think that will make me stop. I WILL catch something, someday. Anyway, we played a little while, saw a couple of dogs get in trouble for fighting (not me, I’m a good girl), and left. We stopped at another park (Cochran Hill) and played a little bit, then another one (Vettiner). The last one was fun because there were more trees and I went and searched for things. Then, there was a man that had treats. He gave me one and thought that would be enough. Um, no. Thanks for letting me know you have treats and now give me more! I followed him around, but he wouldn’t share. Oh well, time to go. I like Viennas better anyway. We rode a long time until we were home. Another long, fun weekend!
Mommy and Daddy got up, fed us some food with yummy Vienna juice, then we left the hotel. We first went to a new park (Columbus Dog Park). This place was awesome! So many trees, so you can guess what I did to them… Koda and I played a little, then a new dog came in. She was pretty big, but she was mean. She went to Mommy and made Mommy pet her, then got mad when I came over. Um, she’s MY Mommy. Who do you think you are???
We got back in the car and drove for a while. When the car slowed down, Koda and I woke up. Daddy stopped the car and Mommy got out, but not us. Mommy came back and said we couldn’t go in the park, but we drove up the road and got out at a new big thing (a playground). We climbed up some stairs and posed for pictures. (Well, I posed for pictures, Koda doesn’t know how to…) Daddy sat down and started to slide down to the ground while Mommy and I watched, and he wanted Koda to slide next to him, but she went right behind him and slid into his back. Mommy sat down at the slide, but I didn’t wait for her; I slid down to Daddy. I’m so smart and knew what to do. It’s easy going down the slide, but I tried to climb back up and couldn’t make it. I jumped on the slide, climbed, climbed, climbed… then fell back down. Oh well… We went to a creek to drink some water (Koda wanted to swim but it was too cold) then got back in the car.
The next time we got out, we went to a new dog park (Indy Humane Society). We ran down a hill into a fenced area, sniffed a couple of dogs (one girl dog was mean), and ran and smelled. There was a big tunnel I went through, ramps I climbed, and things I jumped on when I was told to. Mommy and Daddy wanted me to go up these tiny steps, but I told them I didn’t want to. I had to keep telling them so they would get the message, but they kept going back and trying to get me to go up. “Look, Koda did it…” Yeah, but that’s because she doesn’t know any better. Steps = small. Me = not. Back legs = weak. So, it was not happening. We stayed a little longer so I could chew on some sticks, but when Koda got in trouble, it was time to go. So, we napped in the car on a long ride. We stopped back at the first park so we could bark at a couple of little dogs, then I was done. I passed out at the hotel. I think I ran too hard because my legs really hurt. Had to relax the rest of the night, but I will say the day was fun!
I can’t remember the last time we went somewhere! Well, I guess we go for a ride most days, but how long since we stayed in a hotel??? Mommy and Daddy got everything ready (we saw the bag that our stuff goes in…we know when they’re packing), and a LONG time later, we left. Why do they do this to us? When they get packed, we should go! We rode in the car and when we got out, we were at a hotel (Hotel Indigo in Columbus, IN). I was excited to be there! We went in to find a couple of little dogs. I barked at them, because I’m the boss, but Mommy made me keep walking. We got in a really small room, waited a bit, then were somewhere else, just like another hotel we stayed in. The room was big and had comfy beds! I love sleeping on the bed with Mommy and Daddy, but this room had two beds, so Koda and I had our own. I slept until I had to go potty and made sure Mommy and Daddy got up (at 4AM) so we could go outside. We came back in and I slept some more to get ready for the next day.
