It's My Birf-Day!

Happy Birfday to me! Happy Birfday to me! Happy Birfday to mmmmmmeeeeeee! Happy Birfday to me! Today, September 28, is all about ME! What a great day! Well, at least after the people worked, it was a great day!

I had Mom email my friends and invite them to the dog park. SO fun! Even though it was super duper hot, we all had a great time!

First, we had to hear about the game plan!

(a group of dogs, including golden Montego, yellow lab Gertie and Dagan, with several others all looking up at something)

Then, I waited and waited and waited for someone to throw the stinkin' ball!

(Dagan, tongue out, watching the ball thrower)

FINALLY! We are off! Look at that star out front! Great form! All other dogs eat my dust!

(Dagan being trailed by 3 dogs after the ball. Dagan is mid-leap, full stretch)

Beau and Wally weren't interested in all us ball chasers! Pugs! Yeesh!

(Pug Beau in the back ground and Pug Wally up from, tongue hanging out several inches)

We ended the day with a little pal-ing around. I don't know this guy's name, but he is super beefy and totally fun!

(Dagan follows a brindle pitty mix around the park)

All that park-ness certainly puts a big fat smile on my 2 year old face! (And just a bit of drool!)

(Dagan, smiling and looking up at the camera, tongue hanging out, along with a little drool)

Here's to another year!

Why me???

I did NOT sign up for this!! Who invited this guy??

Calgon! Take me away!

Mmmmm

When you have sore feet so you can go out and run around (I cut my pads!) if you look super sad, maybe you will get something super yummy too! Who knew that this existed?!?! SO good!



(Dagan with his nose in a peanut butter jar - licking out the ends)

Mmmmm... Peanut butter!



(Dagan looking into the camer with peanut butter and drool spread across his face)

What Mom?? Why are you laughing at me? Not nice! I will just go back to my jar.



(Dagan holding the jar with his foot and his tongue as far in as it will go)

Smack*smack*lick*slobber,
Dagan

Please?

Can you hit the snooze button?! Just 5 more minutes, please!



Wagzzzzz,
Dagan

Wordless Wednesday

(Foley and Dagan lying in the sunny spot)

Beware of Day Care!

Doggy Day Care leads to this face:



Beware of doggy day care hang over!

Woof,
Dagan

Back to Class!

I am super excited to be starting Nosework III today!! My sniffer just about turned rusty without class the last couple weeks! I get to wear my new duds this round too.



(Dagan sitting on the porch with his royal blue mesh harness on)

These are my working clothes! All I do in this is work. Harness on = nose on! Can't wait! So far, I have learned to search out yummy treats in hidden places, high and low, over and under, behind and hidden. Class II was all about birch. I am rockstar at finding birch! I wonder what's next! I can't wait!

Gotta rest up, chew on my new antler and continue to work on freeing my stick treats from my Planet Dog world ball. That is hard work!

Great day ahead!
Wags,
Dagan
