Some news

A little bit of sad news.  Mi amigo Snickers has left us.  He was very very ill one evening, and the next day he was no longer here.  I do not know what happened, but I still go to look for him, and there is no fresh pee at his house, and he does not pee in my yard, so I believe what Mama says, that he is gone.

I have, however, found some new friends.  These are Maddy and Coco, who I see on the beach in some mornings, and we play circles and hunting for treasure and other Chi games.  It is bueno to have some friends who are also of my people.  Here is a picture of us three being together.

Coco is a boy, the darker color one. He likes queso. Maddy is a girl, a little zoftig, as I like them.  Their Papa brings them to the beach when he comes to swim or do what they call "surf," which seems to involve throwing an ironing board into the water.  I do not understand it, but they do not partake of this "surf" thing, they stay on the beach. 

I have noticed that we who are not very large do not go into this water.  I see larger dogs go in, and they seem to like it, but I do not care to be wet, so it seems like something to avoid.  Though I have seen mi amigo Wyatt go into the small part of the water.  I do not understand that at all.  He is like me, but longer, and not so tall, so why he likes to be wet is a mystery.

I have also had Mama make what she calls a "head shot" of me.  We were climbing on the rocks the other morning, and I think it is good.

 People here have called me a "rock star."  I do not know what that means, but I hear I may have a "fan club."  This is all very confusing for me.  But people take a lot of pictures of me, especially when I go with Abuela to the market.  Perhaps I can find a way to sign my autograph for these fans.  I have been told that this is what rock stars do.

And I have been getting Mama up earlier so she can see the colors outside before they go away.  She likes colors.  I know it is cooler at that time, and I like to walk on the beach and the rocks when it is cooler, so this is pleasing for me as well.  Here are some of the colors she saw today.

 Mama also does not like to be wet, so we agree.  Now it is time for my second walk this morning.  See you later!

Taking care of business

This afternoon, mi amigo Wyatt y yo were checking out how the beach is doing.

It's still not warm enough to be out there for all day.  The wind gets sand in mis ojos, and ouch!

on the beach this morning

We went for a walk on the beach this morning, to make sure we could do it because they are saying we will have snow again, and I do not do snow.  So, there are many piecez of wood there, and it es my duty to pee on them all, so everyone will know they are really mine.  I did my best to mark evey important one.

Mama letz me go without the leash, but then she tellz me to slow down and wait for her.  She doez not walk so fast on the sand.  I think because I have more pawz, I can go faster.  It is an odd thing about humanz.

She also took this picture of New York, it es a place where I lived once.  I have been there for a couple of days also, and really do not like it, it es very loud and haz too many humanz and smellz bad.  And you know, if a dog sayz something smellz bad, it must be very bad, no?

You almost can not see New York in the picture, which I think es a good thing, no?  I do not like to go there, and my Mama also doez not like to go there, but some dayz she haz to.  Something about getting food?  I do not understand, but that es maybe a humanz thing too.

So now we listen to some music, and have a nice dinner and sleep.  I'm tired, and it'z warm here, and good.

working on coming back here, too

Being more than a bit crazy, and Pablo having more of a social life than I ever will....Just thought I'd post a shot of him enjoying some downtime the other day.

I have a new cousin!

Her name es Yuki, and she lives in California.  So maybe now I will have an excuse to ride in an airplane....

She es a Sheep-doodle, and es already much bigger than me.  But I love big women....so.  I am excited!

A visit this weekend from my niece

Es Kaylee my niece?  I am thinking it es so, pero the relationships in this familia can be mucho complicated.  It es also mucho dificil to get these pictures to load correctly.  HOWever, here they are.  We were having a nap time together.  This es hokay, up to a point.  You can see the progress of our nap time:

 

 

 

 

That es Anna who es helping us to nap, and also sneaking pictures of us to get evidence against us, pienso.  I can take only so much togetherness, you know?  Then I am getting testy with Kaylee.  She es kind of heavy, and when she leans on me, I feel like I will soon be flat instead of nicely shaped as I am normally.

And then on the beach today, she knocked me over so I could not get up.  Everyone laughed at me, and said I was like a turtle, whatever that es.  I was very much embarrassed and annoyed by that.  Here I am attempting to regain my dignity, but I have so much sand on my coat it es muy dificil.

 

So while I enjoy company, it es also bueno when they go home again.  It es really nap time now, and I can go under my own covers in my own bed and finally relax, and know that someone bigger than me will not be smushing me.

un dia mas bueno

It es much nicer outside today, and Mama took me for a walk on the beach.  The stairs are fixed, so it es easier for her to go down and then get back up.  I don't have any troubles anyhow, as I am un perro muy atletico.  Pero, I am out of practice, it has been so icy for so long here, and I don't do icy.

So, here are some pictures of me in action on the beach:

There es mucho stuff on the beach to sniff and it all needs to have my message on it.  This es hard work.  But you notice I am going without the leash, Mama is becoming mas comodo with me being loose, which I like very much.  I have to listen for her, she cannot keep up with me, I am so fast, but if I take my time sniffing and marking, she can catch up hokay.

So we had a nice time.  Then later I am going to take Abuelita for a walk, and go to her casita to see what she has to eat.   This es my favorite kind of dia.
