Howl-a-Ween

Mom's work had a Howl-a-Ween party! Complete with demonstrations, vendors, photographers, & a costume contest. I got to help with parking.

I was a scare crow-----Lisa, isn't there something in my contract AGAINST this kind of abuse??!!?? If there isn't, there SHOULD BE----are you seeing this ridiculous HAT??!!

On the very bright side they did have bobbing for hot dogs---and it turns out I was quite good at that! Yumm Yumm Yummy Yum. And I should be glad that my mother had the good sense not to dress me up like a pink fairy like that guy's mom!! (although based on the poodle's nail polish & get-ups I had a right to be worried!)

Back at home our village has a MARVELOUS jack-o-lantern tradition! An entire block of carved pumpkins 124+ at last count!! We had a spook-tacular-ly safe & fun Halloween!

Parade!!!!

I got to go to the parade today!! My first parade! I didn't mind the big fire trucks & their horns. (Bird, bird, bird, bird)

I got parade beads!

The 4H kids threw dog cookies by the bucket @ me-----Yum-O

And I got a yummy frozen (people) treat---delicous.

The marching band was cool. Horrah for the fair parade!! The weather was practically perfect too!

My Lovely Kids

I love "my kids" NatNat grabs my hippo by the tail & we

P-L-A-Y, when I get my hippo I then I RACE to my pillow with it & then toss it back to her. Around & around we twirl "WooooWooooWoooo"

And then she rubs my ears & I just lllll-oooooo-vvvv-eeee that!! Isn't she grand!! THANKS ILLINOIS BIRDOG RESCUE!!!!

"...and the home of the brave!!!" PLAY BALL!

Last night I got to go to Bark @ the Park! The Lincoln Saltdogs have it every year---and my mom's work, Kenl Inn, had a booth. . . we got to meet all of the fans & their dogs, hand out flyers & free coupons & meet all kinds of cool people & puppies!! There were quite a few good 'ole boys who stopped to talk about huntin' with English Setters :)

I got to meet-n-greet Homer, the Saltdog mascot, boy was he a Big Dog!! (here I am trying not to make eye contact with his BIG EYES) And my poodle-brother got to be on the big screen!!

They had all kinds of neat "games" during the game---these boys got to run in giant hamster balls & knock down bowling pins! (Homer was chasing the balls!!) They had a border collie doing frisbee tricks & weiner races---a bunch of little daschunds got to race down on the field! (lucky for them I'm not a weinie b/c I would've smoked them all, my alter-ego's name is FireBall!!!)

And then Dad & I got to talk sports. OHHHHH!!!! You're supposed to keep your eye on the BALL not eye on the BIRD

Gotcha!

My new home sure is FUN!!!!

Thanks Illinois Birdog Rescue!!!

So I'm on my folks' bed watching out their window @ all the birds outside in the H-U-G-E tree in outside the house when all of a sudden---> What in the Sam Hill is going on across the street??!!

Why doz do bee da' s-t-r-a-n-g-e-s-t dawgs I ever dun seen!!!

Why doz do bee da' s-t-r-a-n-g-e-s-t- dawgs I ever dun heard!

My mom says that the big ones are "sheep" and the little ones are "goats" (you knew I really wasn't fooled) and that they get groomed kind of like brother-poodle for some kind of thing called 4H --- who would've ever thunk that I could find something more interesting than BIRDS to watch!!!! Not THAT's somethin'!!

Soaring To New Horizons

I have a new home, so now I get a new blog! With my permanent name :) (This is me w/ my girl Cora--looking back on "the old days"---I've got the red collar on) My family now calls me Hawk!! We're going to get a link so you can see back where I started----Thanks Illinois Birddog Rescue!!! Things are going GREAT in my new home---here's my Grouch-O Marx impression w/ my rawhide. And no, me & Mac aren't that fast of chew-ers---it has been found that I like to "collect" all the rawhides & hide them under my bed He! Hee! Hee!
