Bark in the Park 2010 (Part 3)

Moving on after the frisbee show we walked around to meet the dogs and see stuff.

Mummy thought these dudes were amazing...basset hounds. All up for adoption. They are long and low too. They sure have super long ears!



Plenty of rescue societies here too. This is just one for Bishons.



So many smells....sniff sniff...peee......



And just so you know, this is the park where they hold Bark in the Park. I love it!



This Canine Cancer Campaign helps to raise funds and awareness in the search for cancer cures and treatments.



We spotted this extra large dog (not too sure what breed though) just chilling and enjoying the outdoors. He has mobility issues but the awesome double harness he is wearing helps the owners bring him about when necessary so he's a happy dog!



And finally we meet Crystal! Frodo wasn't there...look at her eyes. She's just the sweetest thing! Very loving and she was nosing mummy's hands. Cute!



Just a few tents away, mummy spotted a halloween pumpkin costume for dogs. I didn't really like it. The thingy around my neck was fine but the pumpkin hat? That wouldn't stay on my head. Hee...



Then we bumped into more corgis!



This fella reminded me of my bestpal, Dexter! The resemblance is striking isn't it?



And for some embarassing reason, I tried to hump this dude. Hey, can't blame me...there were seriously too many doggie smells wafting through the air. =P



Well, it was a tiring day....i knocked out on the ride back. But it was GREAT!



Until next time folks! *Woof!*

Bark in the Park 2010 (Part 2)

So just as quickly we bump into a couple cute corgis! Hee... but then we heard an annoucement about a freestyle frisbee demo! Wow...sounds exciting. Wonder if corgis are well suited for this...



First up is a rescued collie. He was kinda in training so this smaller demo show was perfect for him to gain experience.



This guy is superdog! He has the cape and all!



Looks at that Mummy! He can FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Up off his handler's body and backflip!



This last dude looks so nice when he flies cos of his long coat.



Has great hang time too!



All focused...



Great flip! The other 2 do their part too but it so quick that Mummy couldn't capture it all.



Here's a video:



Yah, after all that excitement...I was so happy! Daddy and Mummy looked at me and told me my legs were too short and cos of my mild HD, I can't do the sport. Oh well, as long as i have them as my humans and they love me, i can't complain. =D



More to come!

Bark in the Park 2010 (Part 1)

A few weeks ago we went to the annual San Jose Bark in the Park. If you remember, last year, I went there too!

Here we are all prepped and on our way. Daddy's excited and I'm shaking off the dust from the pavement before going on my way.



Quick sniff at the fire hydrant...



Quick pee on the vines!



Here's the first dog we met. Chihuahua! And we haven't even entered the park yet!



Shaggy-doo. Nice eh? Apparantly his owner has to brush him out every single day else there'll be regrets.



2 Frenchies and 2 Pommies! Snort snort...yapyap!



Finally, made it to the bridge to the park!



Here we are! Its real hot out but the organisers again wisely put out pools and a misting tent!

Another sleepover visitor!

Last few days, Mummy's ex-collegue and friend came to stay over in my living room. His name is LC and I think he is a great doggy person. I immediately knew that he would be my pal for a few days!

This is how we dog's say hi - butt sniff!



Yep, pawfect arm cave! Nice.



He got all tired...i wanted to play but he knocked out.



*Yawn....* Maybe his little daughter does this to room alot which is why he slept just fine. Amazing.



And on the 3rd night over...he was still knocking out early in the evenings but he did entertain me by throwing the donut a while. And he did walk me once too!



Yepyep! I like having nice dog people visitors over. *bark!*

My failed attempt at the City Fair

A really strange day started a few weekends ago. There was a nice fair going on in Mountain View that I went to last year. Mummy and Daddy was excited and packed me into the car and off we went. I had a funny feeling about the fair....

First photo opp, the super well polished fire engine. Very nice. Mummy was oogling at it for a while.



Well, it was a nice warm day and we strolled towards the fair.



I started my sniffing while daddy tried to get me to appreciate art.



Okok, we'll go YOUR way. Some nice people said hi to me and found me "cute". =P



Big photo number 2. Mummy wanted me to pose in front of this mega red car. Do I REALLY HAVE TO? *pleading eyes*



This is her best photo. I basically smiled and posed in all the wrong directions. =P Like I said, i felt weird being there.



More walking along the pavement... and then....



We had to leave. =( Boohoo...apparantly, the fair this year was declared as "No Pets Allowed". So sad. I wish all the dog owners would make sure their pets behaved responsibly. It was possible that some of the animals spoiled artwork and stuff at the stores or felt a mess of poop or something last year that made them declare it "pet free" this year. We didn't really see any very obvious signs and they were apologetic when asking us to leave. Still...



Note: Mummy always makes me walk to poo and pee before going to any fair and she doesn't let me sniff stuff (like benches and definitely nothing in the stalls). Guess not everyone is like that with they doggies. Boohoo....

Yet another doggy day at the doggy park

I love going out to meet new friends! Like this fella, a pug. Mummy still finds them funny.



And there's 2 pugs in the small dog play area. Hee...they are healthy and lean too. Nice.



Well, first things first.



Erm...minor distractor. But I still have to pee. (and yes, i'm making a face)



With that done I shall proceed to take a look around.



Ooo! Interactive small dog!



Toy Poodle...



Terriers...



Think I scared them cos I'm bigger so I hopped on to the large dog play area and yes, i peed in front of the poop bag post.



Time to scout the area!



One big black dog.



Oops...i'm surrounded!



Whereever i went, I was followed. Whereever I peed, it was peed over. boohoo!



Ooo! Brave small dog in big dog area! BARK!!!



Great, i got his attention.



Think I can get his owners' attention too!





Success! Rub a dub dub!



Here's a good looking Golden!



I got his owner's attention too. Hee...



And of course, whilst quenching one's thirst, one should get as much human attention as one can get. =)



Yep, I love the dog park.



Who wouldn't? =)
