Hoppin' at the Dog Park

Happy Sat. Blog Hop...I got to do some hoppin' at my favorite Dog Park "Connor's Lake". I didn't even go to the lake but made many more new doggy friends including an Aussie named Bella that was born 50 miles north of Anchorage in Palmer.

Bella is a standard size Red Merle and sweet as can be.  Can you believe that the people who got her as a puppy returned her to the breeder 9 months later?  Well, at least they returned her instead of some other awful things they could have done.  A very nice lady then bought her and they are forever friends.  Bella is very sweet and loves to chase me.

see me hoppin'

                                   Then another Aussie came to say hello, a nice older gentleman. 

                                                We Aussies are taking over the Dog Park!!

                           Uh Oh, we got some heady competition coming in....check out this dude!

What a bunch of Bull!

Can't end this with out my traditional stick picture.  I even tripped my mom with it and she fell down, bruised her knee, and said a bunch of bad words.  Then she took my stick away.  Ahhh, man, she's no fun. She said at least I didn't bust her camera.

                                                          Happy Hoppin' Everyone!

Passing it on for folks near West Virginia...she is a cutie!

WV, Princeton: "Missy", Blind Heeler Puppy

Age: ~10-12 weeks old
She came into our shelter about a week and a half ago, a man found her sitting in the middle of the road one night. I took her to the vet because she was having seizures and he said she was running into walls. The vet thinks maybe she had some head trauma from being in the road, and she hasn't had a seizure since. She is adapting well to being blind, being very playful and starting to use her other senses. She is VERY healthy, has already grown like a weed! She has had her first vaccination and has been wormed. I am fostering her, but I have 7 other fosters, so I'm a little overloaded right now. Our shelter is Mercer County Animal Shelter and we are located in Princeton, WV.

My neighbor dogs and a tortoise named Bogie

I love the dogs that live across the street from me.  I cry and carry on when I see them out in the yard. Finnegan and I have so much fun playing together and little Tally is always trying to kick my butt, or bite it.

Finnegan

    Finny is a Wheaten Terrier and a little bit younger than me.  He is very sweet and loves to play.

                                                    Before Fin it was just Tally and Bogie....

 Yup, Bogie is a tortoise and they have had him since he was a baby and he is 26 years old!  Pretty cool huh?
He must be a very tolerant tortoise to put up with feisty little Tally.  She's a rescued terrier mix and looks almost like a mini Finny!

               Love thy Neighbor... no problem here.  Who couldn't love a sweet fur face like Fin!

A runnin' and a sniffin'

Mom and her friend K started out their day with breakfast at a wonderful little dive called Judy's. Home cookin' and always a line to get a seat.

They are gonna need some energy to keep up with us as we head to the South Anchorage Sports Park.  It is about 40 acres of ball fields, soccer fields, paint ball area, woodlands and trails. It has warmed up to 36 degrees and the snow is wet and sloppy...at least we'll have good traction.

                       Hummm, some dog has been here before me.  Better read this Pee-mail!

                                                                 More Pee-mail....don't ya hate spammers!

                                                              And the chase is on...

                                      It's the bigger the better when it comes to sticks!

                                                                    Shall we dance?

                                      You must bow to your elders, you frisky pup!

              I don't think so Baxter, I am an Aussie and I bow to no one!     *except maybe mom*







                                Gotta leave you with this silly one...moms favorite of the day!

More photos that haven't been posted yet...

Mom has been taking me out at night for walks lately...not good for photo taking.  Mom says she has been meaning to post these photos so here they are. Maybe we will take a day excursion tomorrow.

Snow Covered Alaska

                                 Yup, we got some snow alright, and I couldn't be happier!

                                                     Now all I need is a stick for mom to throw.

                                                         This one will do in a pinch.

                                                 Oh Man, it is really pretty up here today.

                                Where did that stick go?  I think it's under here somewhere...

                                                        Hah, I found ya!    Gotta come up for air.

                                                       Hey, gotta run now.  Catch ya later!




        These pictures were taken up near Flattop Mt.  A 10 minute drive up hill from our house.
