She’s baaaaaaaaack…..

Hey there blogaroos. Squirmy here on a sunny, super Saturday. AND it’s a special day – it’s Earth Day! A day to think about the planet where we live – and look at ways to make sure that our place in the universe is well cared for. I’m not moving to the moon – no trees to pee on.

Here’s an article about what you and your dog can do on this protect-the-planet day:

I agree with all of the suggestions and I can add another one. No baths for dogs today. It’s important to save water. Besides, we’ll just be dirty tomorrow- so skip that futile waste of water. Was that convincing?

So in other news – GUESS who turned up at my regular Friday afternoon obedience class?! DOROTHY!!! Yup – she was a distraction for several exercises- including the stand for exam- when she was planted about 8 feet away. I must confess, I did give her a good look – but I never moved my feet. Most the dogs just looked at her – and nobody was overly freaked out by her. Even when we had to do a recall past her- nobody went to check her out. Here’s my buddy Ranger, ignoring the scary kid.

The Warden says Dorothy has “friends” so we’ll see who comes out next.

Last night she tried to tire me out and she did a reasonable job. I wasn’t TOTALLY tired – but my tongue was a dragging.

First the Boss and I did bumper fetches. We did around 20 each. The Warden figured that was enough for the old fella, so she put him in the house – where he proceeded to shout out that he wasn’t tired.

Next she got out the Chuck-It and I went racing across the yard to catch the bouncing orb at least half a dozen times. When I started returning with it and dropped to roll, she figured I might have had enough.

But she wasn’t finished with me yet. Out of nowhere- our stuffed Lambie appeared. She sat me at the front door and then hid Lambie in various places around the outside of the house. In some bushes, behind a garden box, behind a tree…I had to use my nose to find the rather ragged Lambie. And guess what? I found him every time! But boy was my brain tired after all that. I needed a break. For like 15 minutes and then I was ready to go again. It takes a LOT to REALLY tire out yours truly.

Well I hope you have a great Earth Day. Take care of it – and one another!

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe.
