Happy Trails

Arrrrrroooooooooooo.   We're off on another adventure!

I just love to ride in the Zoom-zoom car.  

Warning: dangerous animals in da park.

Dis time we're going to the new Nature Park.

Mom & Aunty D were a bit concerned when the 1st sign dat dey saw warned of snakes and gators.   Oh my.

After we parked da car we looked at the trail map and decided not to go on the Copperhead Trail or on the Gator Trail.

I wanted to go on the Dogwood Trail but Mom thought dat the Live Oak Trail was better (less dangerous).


So off we went.








I got right down to business and dropped some peemail on the 1st post dat I saw.

Peemail post.

We stopped at the Scenic Overlook to look at the river.

I don't see any gators.

Swampy riverbed.

Then we were off again.













We walked really fast on the trail cuz Mom was a bit anxious about the possibility of seeing snakes.

Thru the wood and down da hill we go...

I keep my ears up da whole way.

I only freaked out once (when Mom wanted to look at the boat ramp).   It was a metal ramp and I put my brakes on.   I was NOT going down dat metal ramp.  No way.

I had a grrrrrrrreat time checkin out all the new smells.Just don't make me go down a metal boat ramp and I'm a happy pup.  

Wags, 

          Ranger

Pees….. Mom says dat we not be going back to the new Nature Park.  She says dat walks on the beach are more to her liking.  No copperheads on the beach.

Moon Encounters

Sock Monkey and I successfully transported thru the Stargate to the Moon to meet up wiff all Sammy's crew.

  It was really cool going thru the Stargate.

Once we arrived on the Moon we were greeted by a beautiful Moon creature.   Hummmmm…. dar is somethin familiar about her.

Her name is Maxine.

Sock Monkey gave her a biggy kiss and then she escorted us to da Space Station so we could have lunch with the rest of Sammy's guest.   Hop on over to Sammy's bloggie to read all about our visit to da Moon.

 Wags, 

        Ranger

Too da Moon !!!

I'm off on my BIG trip to da Moon wiff Sammy and the crew.   I decided dat I'd just dial up da Moon on da Stargate and meet them there.   It's faster dan dat old spaceship.

Ok Sock Monkey!   You can come wiff me.

I gots my SG-1 vest on and the Stig let me borrow his helmet so I'm all ready to go.

Read all about our outer-space adventure at Sammy's bloggie.   AND VOTE FOR ME!

A Tulip for Daisy & Barkday Greetings

Mom says she is tired of winter, so when she was at Costco's (earlier dis week), she picked up some tulip bulbs in a water vase.   We've been makin sure dat we keep all da bulbs covered wiff water.

And…. look what I spied dis morning.

One of da Tulips actually bloomed!   Isn't dat amazing?

Daisy 
8 March 2003 - 21 February 2014
I will miss your sweet face.

 Dis week one of my Scottie girl friends (Down Under Daisy) crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
I think she helped make our tulip bloom.    I'm gonna name dis flower after Daisy.

Barkday Wishes!

Happy Barkday Greta!
I'd like a really BIG piece of cake please.

Looks who is turning 2 now!

Greta (from Idaho PugRanch).   Pop over and grab a piece of cake before it's all gone.  You know how dos pugs like to eat cake.

Dis is a really big year for two year olds.

I'm gonna turn 2 on March 15th and can't wait.   My Barkday Buddy Stuart is turning 8 on March 15th too.   Last year we had a Beach Party Bingo Barkday Pawty.   We'll have to figure out what our theme will be dis year.   Got any ideas?

Messy yards

I've been really busy since out BIG Queen of Hearts Dance.    I had a great time and I'd like to say AROOOOOOOoooooo to all the organizers (especially our beautiful Mayoress Madi).

So what has been keepin me so busy?  
Well, after dat 2nd ice storm, I headed out to inspect the damage in my hood.   Ya see… da freezing rain caused da tall southern pines branches to get really heavy and then crash down to da ground.    

Oh my…. look at all the branches dat crashed at my neighbors house.

OMD…. dis one is really biggy.

I think dey are gonna need some help movin dis one.

A few days later…. our weather heated up and I headed out to our back yard to help Mom and Aunty D pick up all da debris.  

Mom….. I need help moving dis one.
It's a bit too biggy for me to move by myself.

Mom… I got dis branch under control.
I'll just run and add it to the pile.

All done…. and you'll never believe dis….. our high temps today are gonna be in the 70s.   Crazy cool.

 Wags, 

         Ranger

Pees…. our new kitchen is all done.  Dey finished it yesterday (under my snoopervision). No more paws on the cardboard.  Mom is very happy.

Happy Valentine's Day

Arrrrrrrrrrrroooooo!  Today is the Queen of Hearts dance, hosted by our lovely Mayoress Madi.

As Deputy Top Cop of Blogville, I'm on duty today helpin out wiff crowd control.

Everything looks good here.   No major problems.

OMD…. dar is my valentine Mollie.   Be still my heart.

She is soooooooooooo beautiful.
I can't wait to snag a dance wiff here.
Hopefully I'll get a brake soon.

Being a Law Enforcement Officer can really cramp ones love life.


Wait, wait, wait a minute…. I think I spy a pawty crasher.

PT Crasher

I'd better radio dis into Officer Bites. 

It looks like we'll have to call in our 'Rodent Patrol Officers', Anna, Princeton and Ruby.

  

Rats….. I lost him in the crowd.  
This could be big trouble.  

Well… now dat I've alerted all the right Officers, I'm gonna see if I can find Mollie and snag a dance wiff her.
Dar she is……...

Hello Sweetie….. here is a flower for my 'Queen of Hearts'.
Wanta dance?

Wow…. dat was FUN (and I didn't even step on her paws).  My Mollie is a great dancer.   

There is so much going on today so don't miss anythingy.   Links to all the activities can be found at our esteem and beautiful Mayoress Madi's site.

Oh, oh, oh…. before I get busy again, here is a shout-out to my sweet girl Daisy who is turning One today.

It makes perfect sense to me dat someone as sweet and lovable as you, would be born on Valentine’s Day.

Pop on over and grab a cupcake…. dey are delish.

Feel da love today!

Sand Art & Guess Who is Turning 2 Now?

Da Icy Snow is all gone and dis weekend da temps were a high of 72 degrees.    Mom was so excited that I decided to take Her and Aunty D for a walk on da beach. 

Welcome to my Beach!

Isn't it beautiful?

Wrightsville Beach, NC

Dis is one of my favorite things to do at the beach.   And NO… I'm not simply diggin a hole.   

Y'all know dat my buddy Stuart creates StuArt… well, I like to create 'Sand Art'.

Don't bother me….. I'm creating!

Ta Da!   Look at my Masterpiece.
Do you see it?
Do you know what it is?
