Outing to Bol Park

Mummy and Daddy are trying to bring me to different dog-friendly parks around the Bay Area. One of them is called Bol Park. Funny name right? Look at where one of the entrances to the park is! There's someone's home on the right (the garage) and there's also a fence to someone's home on the left! So mysterious looking!



Excuse me while I poop (as usual). =P



First thing Daddy brought to our attention were the DONKEYS! Can you see them?



Seriously! There's 2 donkeys there...in the background just behind my left ear. I've never seen donkeys before.



We went down a loooooong path. Excuse Mummy, she was in a funny mood. She gave me rabbit ears.



Anyway, further down I found something else new to me! Its a giant baseball park. I wanted to go and run around in it but I couldn't. Cos (1) it belongs to Gunn High School and (2) there was a "No Pets" sign there. Ah well...



We walked through Gunn High School...walked past the gym and look, there's tennis courts.



Back onto the trail of Bol Park, we met 2 doggies. One tiny little fiesty lion-mane looking pomernarian and a big black lab. Mummy couldn't help herself. She just HAD to say hi!

Here I am giving my greetings to the pommie. He was a nervous fella around me but he loved mummy and daddy.



Look at his hair cut! Oh, and he has a short mohawk on his back too! (Hey Hammer! A mohawk fan too!)



This dude was trying to steal MY treats from mummy's bag. So shameless! tsktsk.
Fortunately he found a nice stick to chew on.



Well, it was a nice day out for early spring. Mummy gave a "I'm tired" face and so did I.



Until the next trip and thanks to Daddy for his nice photos!

The HOOF Treat

Mummy bought me a different kind of chew toy today. It smelled very strong and I wanted to gnaw on it the moment I saw it!

Here's what it looks like. Its the Hoof of a cow? Wow...



Ok, quick take the pic. Can I have it?



Lie down? Ok, now can i have it?



Look straight? NOW CAN I HAVE IT????
(Mummy: I was trying to capture the droooooool, but decided I was being too cruel so I let him have it.)



Yay! Quick start chewing!!!!



Oh boy, oh boy, daddy has it! what? He is gnawing on it???? NO!!!!!!! Please can i have it Daddy? PLEASE????
(Mummy: No, Daddy wasn't really chewing. He was pretending. Benny just saw there patiently drooling and waiting. He knew that it was his. Such a good boy eh?)



Alrighty! back to gnawing...left side...



Switch over. right side....



Whew, tired. I think left side better.



Arrgh, maybe right side will break the hoof.



30mins in...I'm tired, super salivated and the place smells of cow. =P Think I'll get another??? =P



Mummy: The treat lasted FOREVER. Unfortunately, the smell also lingered and was very strong. So while its worth its price in terms of duration, unless you want your home and dog's breath to smell like a barn of cows...i'd suggest to not give this treat too often and to do it outside. =P

out of 5 (mainly cos of the smell =P )

A Sable Corgi and Spring Time!

A few weeks ago Mummy and Daddy brought me out to the dog park. It was a lucky break for me cos it was raining and raining and it wouldn't stop raining! Thank God it stopped raining on a weekend so we went to the park! Yippie!

First thing we saw was THIS DUDE. He reminds Mummy & Daddy of Ode who is a Singapore Corgi that has almost the exact same colour and look! For this entry, I'll call him Edo (Ode in reverse). =)



Edo was just as interested in me as I was in him! Mummy tried to say Hi too.



Edo started following me around. Probably was wondering about my tail. =P



Garrrghhh! Some good ol' corgi fighting fun!



I'm taller than Edo so I usually had the upper paw.



Aim for the ear flap! (old habits die hard...hee....)



These 2 bigger dogs came to check on what the fuss was. I wanted to say hi to them, but...



...Edo snuck in a secret attack on me...AH! See my eyes are closed?!?!?!?!



Grr....bark bark, "bite bite"! I seriously think the 2 bigger dogs thought this was some sort of strange spectator sport.



Whew! Getting tired. Gotta get some time to myself...and I need a drink.



The watering hole is crowded. As usual.



Last bit of fun running and chasing other dogs around...



Ok. Mummy! Daddy! Where are you? I'm leaving...



Well, we finally went home. Back at the apartment complex, Daddy took this nice nice picture of the flowering tree! Its wasn't even spring when this picture was taken but the tree sure decided to look pretty nice and early.



That's me in the front and the tree in the back. (Update: Its in full bloom now and starting to shed the flowers and baby leaves are sprouting.)



Well friends, until next time! Sooner than you think (i hope!).

Remember this photo?



Hee....Mummy simply loves this superb followup post by Aunty L. I'm 001!
Do check it out: http://dogfather-samsengkia.blogspot.com/2010/02/007-and-beyond.html

Will be posting a personal blog entry in the next couple days.... its about me meeting another fellow corgi (after SOOOOOOOOOOO long) at the dog park! Watch for it!

I destroyed a mini Tennis Ball!

After my previous entry about the neighbour's tennis ball...I figured this is a good time to talk about a smaller tennis ball that I was playing with recently. It has since vanished a few days after the photos below were taken. I'm not sure why...and i miss it. =(

As usual, mummy is teasing me with Mr mini tennis ball.
(Mummy: Take a GOOD look at the ball! Benny managed to disassemble the ball into the 4 individual components. The inner rubber ball, the 2 felt pieces and the white strip of rubber.)



Eyeballing it with my left eye....



Eyeballing it with my right eye....



Just simply eyeballing it! Gimme Gimme! Throw Throw!!!!!!



Yah...she did let me play with it for a few more minutes but she kept saying something about killing the ball?



Ah well...until the next wee tennis ball eh? I'm sure mummy has a few more hiding somewhere in the house! =P

I found a Tennis Ball!

Yah hooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently found a really nice cool cute coloured tennis ball. I was running around the house and throwing it at Daddy and Mummy trying to get them to see my treasure.

Unfortunately, the first thing I heard from Mummy was "Benny, that's not yours! Yah, see my shocked face?



I mean, why wouldn't it be mine right? Finders keepers right?
Then Daddy said something, "Benny, where did you get that ball?"



Well, I pondered. Its from the yard. I thought the good Lord dropped it from above. Alas, it was not meant to be. Mummy made me hand it over and she rolled it under the fence back to the neighbour's place. Luna, the lab next door, seemed happy. Goodbye sweet multicoloured tennis ball.



Well, I forgive my humans. They did compensate me a new tennis ball!



Cheese! Back to playing fetch!
