Cottage Time Again!

We went up to the cottage this week for the first time this year! I had such fun! Although it was scary too :(
Mommy was a bit upset when we got there. She was unloading the van and she realized she left my food on the kitchen counter at home! Imagine, how could she forget my food! But I discovered there are advantages to not having my own food, I got leftovers. Look, steak, potatoes, carrots, asparagus , a meal fit for a king!



We went to the pond the first day we got there. Mommy threw sticks in and I brought them back out for her. I got a little stuck in the algae, but I made it out and so did my stick.



Shake, shake, shake! Gettin rid of the extra water.



We have a terrible problem beavers building dams and flooding out the rest of the property. This is not supposed to be wet here, and it is causing all the trees to die!



So we have to go around and break up the dams. Look at me helping Daddy. I'm getting the branches out and throwing them away! (or at least tossing them around and playing with them :)



We stopped at the bridge while we were out at the river. It's a way scary place! I didn't want to get on, but Mommy and Daddy were both on the bridge so I crawled up the stairs,



I made it! Now I just have to get over to Mommy and Daddy. Slow but sure, I'll get there :)



We can see the whole river from here!



We walked up the river some more and look what we found, rainbow trout! I did even notice them until they started splashing around. I was more interested in sticks.



I bet you'll never guess what this is. It's a fridge! Daddy and his friend dug a hole in the ground (they didn't ask me to help :( I could have done a really good job, too) Then they lined it and they put drinks in it to keep them cold. I don't know why they don't just drink from the river. It's yummy! And you get to swim at the same time :)



Look a porcupine! We have to stay very far away from them. That's why the picture is so blurry, we were way far away!



And here's a salt block. Daddy says it's for the deer. Why one earth would anyone want a salt block?



After our walk, we went for a ride on the quad to find some trees to plant by our cottage. Mommy and I got to ride in the trailer behind the quad. It was scary at first, but since Mommy was in the trailer already, I figured I should get in and protect her. It was fun having the wind blowing in my hair :)



We saw this weird looking skeleton when we were looking for rocks for our new trees.



It looks like a bat, but its really just a fish head!

We got two trees to plant by our cottage, and I helped plant them. I am being so helpful!



I had lots of fun adventures again, but now that I've told you all about them, I'm going to have a great big nap!

Fun with the Kids!

The kids came over to play today. It's such fun when they are around. I like to follow them everywhere, because I know they'll play with me. The boy, Tyler, was trying to teach me some tricks with the clicker! Time for a break. I just love snuggling on his lap :)



Then we all went for a adventure in the woods. Jewels came too, she doesn't like the kids though, they are too noisy and scare her :( Are they coming?



The girl, Rory, and I were playing ball, or maybe frisbee. Actually, she threw the ball for me, then while I was chasing the ball, she threw the frisbee for herself!



We went for a walk through a field, and I found some nice turkey poo to roll in. Mommy wasn't too happy, I just had a bath 2 days ago. Oops!
Jewels found some too! See how much fun it is. Look at her big smile :)



Look Tyler, I brought the ball back! Throw it again!



Come on guys, catch up. Everyone is going this way.



Finally, lunch. I'll just hide here under the table and catch any treats that fall my way. Unfortunately, silly me decided it would be a good idea to sneak up on the table and steal a piece of cheese. I had to go over and sit by the truck then. I wasn't allowed anywhere near the table or the food :(



What a great day! I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep for a week!

Look I'm a Dog Walker Now

One of my jobs is to help Mommy walk clients for her pet sitting business, A Pet Nanny Plus. I always have a great time and I decided I should share it with you guys :) So I told Mommy to take some pictures of our walk with Lulu the other day. Lulu is a tiny, little boston terrier, just like Jewels. I'm the big strong guy, so I have to make sure to take care of the little girls.

I'm all set, and ready to get started.



Look Jewels, this is a great spot to sniff. Lulu, over here!



Is that someone coming over there, do they have treats for me, will they pet me, is it a dog? Nope, just a squirrel :)



See, Lulu and Jewels look alot alike! They are both black and white and little.



Jewels doesn't really like other dogs. In fact, she will snap and snarl when she sees a dog on the street. I think it's great fun, cause when she can't get to the other dog, she'll chase me instead! I run and dodge and jump, it's soooo much fun. Unfortunately, Jewels Mommy doesn't want her to do it. So when she sees another dog coming, she sometimes picks Jewels up and hides so Jewels doesn't know there is a dog around :(



Mommy makes us all sit at the corner, before we cross the street because she says its safer. This way we can look for cars and not get hit! I don't want to be hit, that's for sure!
Lulu, you have to sit first!



We are all sitting now. Is it ok to go yet?



A really nice doggie left his chewy bone on his front lawn. I'm sure he did it so Lulu and I could have it. Mommy says no, it's not ours, but if we sneak up and get it, she'll never know, right?



That's it for today's walk time to get back in the van :( Luckily we come and walk Lulu twice a week, so we'll be back soon!

Another Adventure!

We got to go on another adventure yesterday. We went to this big, huge park with lost of tails and mud and sticks! Mommy said it was called the Darlington Provincial Park. We saw lots of neat stuff there. Look at this ... Daddy said its a duck blind. People hide in it and look at ducks. Why on earth would they do that? People can be so strange, I'd rather run out and play with the ducks!



Look at the big bite out of this tree! I can chew sticks into little bitty peices, but I've never chewed a tree before. Daddy says a beaver did this! They must have really big teeth!



This tree is almost all chewed up!



Daddy and me went out on the dock to check out the ice. Mommy was worried I would go on the ice and fall through, but I stayed with Daddy like a good boy.



Time for a little break and a chew on a stick. My teeth aren't as big as the beaver's, so I'll pick a little stick not a tree!



Then we ended up at the lake. No more ice. Yeah, I can go in the water. Daddy threw a stick but it went out too far, so I didn't want to go get it. The waves were really big!



Brrr, its cold still:(



That's ok, I'll just run like crazy and warm myself up :)



Me and Daddy sitting on a log. Mommy tried to set the timer so she could get in the picture too, but she never made it.



It's time to head back to the van, bummer :(
Ahhh, some ice to roll and scratch on. Wiggle, this way, wiggle that way. Nice!



Look, Mommy is going to wiggle on the ground with me :) What fun!



Mommy made me sit for one last picture before we got back into the van to go home. I hope you all liked to hear about my great adventure!

A Bit About Me

I figured its time I wrote a bit about myself! You can tell by my pictures that I'm a handsome fella, but I sure you'd like to know more about me then that :) (although that is very important too!) I arrived in this world on July 4, 2008 along with my 5 brothers and 5 sisters. It was a bit of a struggle getting my spot on the food chain, but I was able to manage most of the time. Then on September 11, 2008 I met my Mommy. Me and my sister were running around the backyard having a great time, when this strange lady came up to us. She scooped me up and I licked her face, I think that's why she decided to take me home. (that and cause I was sooo cute!)
The ride home was very long and a bit scary, but we made it, and I only peed and pood once in the van :)
My new home was a bit scary too. There was a bunch of strange men and alot of banging. Mommy said it was ok, as soon as the strange men got the new windows in, they would be gone. Here's me hiding behind Mommy's chair. She'll protect me.



Then there was the big scary dog. Look at her! I don't think she liked me too much :(



I had this great bed to sleep in though ...



And lots of toys to play with ...



And when I got big enough, Mommy took me to the park for walks!



And over to the daycare to play with my new friends :)



Am I ever glad Mommy came to get me and bring me home with her!
