Dog Lovers Walk!!!

This past Saturday my family and I participated in the Humane Society Dog Lover's Walk! It was so much fun and we helped raise money for orphaned puppies. Thanks to all who gave so generously! My parents came down from Atlanta and brought their dogs, Bailey and Luke, to walk in the event as well. Bailey did especially well considering we left her muzzle at home. She normally doesn't take well to other dogs, but we had no problems Saturday morning! Good job, Bailey! Luke was a little overwhelmed with the whole situation. He never really barks but let out a few deep woofs due to nerves. Emma just wanted to go! She zig-zagged back and forth and really didn't like her gentle leader. 

There were three lengths we could walk and we chose to do the shortest of the three. This was in part due to the fact that the gnats were awful and biting a lot. I wore shorts and really itchy legs are very uncomfortable! 

Bailey got to ride in the middle with my mom and me... she likes to look out the windshield.

Some of the adoptable dogs who participated. I wanted to bring them ALL home!

This is the church where we all met to start the race. I thought it was just so beautiful!

Loads of people participated! Yay! That means lots of money was raised!

I love this picture because it shows how fast the brown puppy's tail is wagging. 

My dad and Bailey.

The Landings, where the walk was held, is so beautiful!

Happy dogs!

Oh Lord. This dog had gotten a new dress and her nails done for the walk. 

Savannah is so pretty! And the weather was perfect!

My mom and Luke and Emma and me. 

After the walk finished we stopped by the agility course to try and teach Emma some new tricks! We got some information about a place here in the city where Emma can learn to do agility courses. She is very smart and quick so I think she could do really well at them. Teaching her to do this would also give us an activity to do, which gets me excited since much of my days are filled with nothing to do. 

The agility course.

Good girl, Emma! 

Emma didn't like the seesaw. Apparently it is the hardest to learn because it scares the dogs. 

This viszla new how to do it!

We had a great walk and rest of the weekend. New post to come soon about my parent's visit!

It's been a while...

Here's a little catch up of what I've been up to the past few weeks.

My mom and I went to visit my grandma a few weeks ago to help her out with her eye surgery. I was a very big helper. I was always willing to sit on and offer up my cuteness to make grandma feel better. Nothing is better than a puppy letting you know how cute they are. 

I was also very helpful as a guard dog. My grandparents have this evil, little bulldog in their basement. No worries. I immediately let it know I was in charge. However, the bulldog posed no threat to myself or my family so I quickly engaged it with a play bow.  I don't know what it is about bulldogs... but I just don't like them. Mom says I get that from my daddy's side of the family. 

While we were in Atlanta we decided to address another issue. Too many people call me a boy. I know a lot of people generally assume if you're a dog, you're a boy. Obviously this is not true. So my mom decided I needed a makeover to help people out. 

First, my grandma bought me a very cute, pink collar.

However, Dad likes my Georgia Tech collar very much so mom picked up a little something to dress it up. She found a clip-in hair bow for little girls, but when added to my collar it's the perfect accessory to show off my feminine side. 

Something else very big happened when I visited my grandparents! Remember my Aunt Bailey? She had to wear a muzzle whenever I was around?

Well now we're friends! No more muzzle. We actually L.O.V.E playing together! Yay! This makes my mom and grandma very happy. But confuses my Uncle Luke. He'd rather play with toy playing keep-away rather than wrestle like Bailey and me. 

My grandparents from my dad's side came down to visit a few weekends ago too! I was so excited because they brought my Uncle Scottie! I love playing with him!

 However, the only downside  (according to my mom and dad) to playing with my Uncle Scottie and Aunt Bailey is that I've become a little more vocal recently. So my parents bought this thing that supposedly makes a high pitched noise that only I can hear when I bark. The jury is still out on whether or not it's helping. 

Also, because I do a lot of this:

the white couch often looks like this:

 So mom and dad bought this thing. It's advertised to sweep up pet hair from furniture... ha! Joke is on them! My hair seems to be too short for this tool to be effective.

My Grandmador brought this down with her a couple of weeks ago. 

It's a brush thing that is really effective on my Uncle Scottie. For me, it's more effective as a toy. 

Let's see... what else has been going on?

Remember when I did this?

Well mom replaced it with this...

More appropriate since I spend most of my time out on the porch. It's been out there for a while now and I haven't chewed it up! Snaps for me!

Mom also bought this cute leash-hook thing for my growing collection of harnesses and collars. The sign is very true by the way. It reads "Home is where the dog is"... well duh. 

I still very, very much like to be "on" and "with"... or behind. However I can just be close.

Mom also wants to show you some pictures of some "cute" puppies (obviously not as cute as me) that she and her friend Erin ran into at a pet adoption day in Atlanta this weekend. Mom said she really wanted to bring one home for me to have a little sister or brother, but I like being the only child and am glad it's still just our family of three.
