Tour of California

I've been watching the AMGEN Tour of California for the last few days. I'm the only canine in the country that's intereseted in cycling. These guys are riding significantly faster than the owner typically rides, but that's a good thing because I'm usually running along-side.

Levi is currently leading the race. I'm not a huge fan, I think he often folds under pressure, but he's American, like me, and he rides for Team Discovery, like me.

Below is a picture of Ivan Basso, he rocks.

White stuff...again?!

As I look through my previous posts, I've come to realize that we have had more white stuff this winter than I have ever seen in one season in my entire life. I should know; I've been around for 5 years, you know. I'm officially older than my owners (in human years) now, but they're not very good at respecting their elders when it comes to me. Sure, they patronize me by telling me I'm a "good boy" now and then, but seriously...are these childish games really necessary? I try to look at them with my most esteemed look when they pet me, but all they do is laugh. What does a dog have to do to get some respect around here?!

The tall one hasn't been around much lately and it's kind of weirding me out, to tell you the truth. The short one seems to expect it, which is strange as well. She's not normally this easy going when he is at work this much. He came home a little earlier tonight and I found him messing around with the white stuff outside. It's nice to see him relax a bit every now and then. I think I'll take him around the block for a walk later on.

It's been a long time...

It's been a long time since my last post, but it seems if I have nothing to write about. Can dogs have writers block too? Well...I took the owners on a long, hilly hike on Saturday. We hiked past the place where the tall one sprained his ankle and I could smell his agony as I passed by. He didn't seem to notice it much though. It was nice to finally get out of the house, as it doesn't happen very often anymore since it has been so cold outside. (It is currently 16 degrees, but it feels like 2 degrees, I hear.)

The tall one spent the whole day outside on Sunday. I'm not really sure what he was doing, but he was making a lot of noise. I looked outside and was able to snap this picture. (Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch him in any of his "lumberjack garb".) My friends who live across the street, Budda and Mini, have piles that are just as big out in front of their houses as well. I don't understand why they are putting these tasty branches out there when they could be saving them for me to chew on later this spring. Don't they know that someone might steal them?! Humans are so careless sometimes.

God Bless America

I proudly display a flag in front of my home. It was frozen stiff here, dang frozen stuff storms.












The tall biped had to get up on the roof and cut this one down. He demonstrated excellent dexterity and chainsaw skill, it was a proud moment for me. The roof was still a little icy, so he had to be quite cautious. As he worked, limbs dangerously cracked and shattered to the ground around him, but he did not fail us.

Humans...I just don't understand them!

I have officially spent the past 24 hours in cold darkness. I don't really understand what my owners are doing or why it has to be so cold in the house, but they must have decided that they had enough because the lights are back on and it's finally starting to warm up. They wore hats on their heads to keep themselves warm, but I was left to let my poor ears freeze. Jerks.

Complete Betrayal & Stuff

I was appalled at the complete betrayal that I faced when the owners came home late last night. Not only did they smell of tasty goodness, but they also smelled of Norm. It's bad enough that they leave me at home, but to be with another dog...it just hurts. I think it probably has something to do with this thing they call "Lily". I'm not really sure what this "Lily" thing is all about, because I have not been properly introduced, but my short owner likes to talk about it being cute.


On another note, the white stuff from a month ago has not come, but boy is it shiny outside. The lights and tv keep turning off and on, and every time, the owners groan. I'm not really sure what it's all about, but they seem irritated by it. I don't know why it's a big deal...I sit in the dark all day!

Here's a picture that I snapped this morning of a limb hanging right outside the front door. If only I could chew on it somehow...tasty frozen treat!


These berries look good too...

Humans are Weak

The owner won't let me take him out for a walk, all he does is sit around on the couch watching some guys throw a pig's hide around. Disgusting... I snapped these for your viewing pleasure.
