Life in the Big City through the eyes of a Little Dog

Super doggies

We went to watch an agility competition and the doggies there were so cool.  Mommy met some friendly corgi parents and we all played together.

When I grow up, I want to do agility. I want to jump and run!

Meet my friend Katy

Hi everyone, Mommy and Daddy said that I’m big enough to have play dates now.  We went on a bunch of “speed dates” with doggies from Dogvacay.com and some of them were nice, some of them growled at me, and some of them didn’t want to play with me. Some of their parents were too weird for my Mommy and Daddy too.

My favorite is Katy and I’m so happy that Mommy and Daddy liked her and her parents too.  I can’t wait to go play with her tomorrow. Here are some pics from last week.

Katy is so nice

Shopaholic

Shhhhh…I like shopping in stores.  Some stores don’t let me in because they say I’m a dog?!?!?!  But Mommy and Daddy take me everywhere anyway.

Lots of fun at Big Lots. Too bad they asked us to leave.

My Favorite Things

Besides eating, sleeping and playing, drinking water is my next favorite thing. It’s so yummy and refreshing.

Hike Review: Eaton Canyon Waterfall

Pretty waterfall

Pretty waterfall

I got to go hiking with my favorite people and my new corgi buddies.  It was so much fun to see so many of us.  People who walked by our group called us the “Corgi Convention.”

We hiked from the parking lot to the waterfall and it was farther than I expected.

It was a lot of fun to cross many little rivers. I want to go again.

There was one doggy that said he’s a corgi but I don’t believe him.  He had a tail!

Oh, I also met Zoey, who is also from Bakersfield. Too bad her mommy made her swim. She looked scared and the water was so cold.

Zoey is from the same place in Bakersfield!

4 months!

Today I am 4 months old and 11.8lbs. Daddy is taking me to get my last puppy shot, the rabies shot. I hope it doesn’t hurt. Maybe he’ll buy me a new toy after we’re done.

Hike Review: Sycamore Canyon Park

I like the playground at this park.  I can run up and down the playground equipment and chase kids all day.

Oh yea, this is a hike review. There’s a hiking trail at the back of the park.  It’s very short, perfect for my legs.  There was some water (to look at) and some grown up playgrounds at the top.

Graduation Ceremony

Mommy wanted to go to Banana Republic (is that a country?) for a sale.  Daddy and I tried to stroll around The Grove while waiting for Mommy.  There were so many people and they all kept stopping to pet and talk to me that we barely got to walk anywhere.

I have some exciting news to share. Today I graduated from puppy kindergarten. I even passed a STAR puppy test, even though “down” is a bit confusing for me. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me.   After school, Mommy and Daddy took me to the park to meet new friends. It was a fun day.

Hike Review: Griffith Park

When Daddy went to a party in Vancouver, Mommy and I went on a long hike. It was uphill and I was so tired. Maybe if I had longer legs I would have liked it more. There were lots of people and they stopped to say hi to me.

We went from the Greek Theater to the Observatory and back.

My photo shoot

I’ve been looking out at the Hollywood sign for the past few weeks and I told mommy that I want to be a star.  She said that I need a few headshots and a portfolio to get started.  Here is a preview from our photo shoot. It was fun but tiring too. It’s not easy being so glamorous.
