Renaissance Faire

Today we hiked around the Bonney Lake Renaissance Faire. I met lots of people and saw a number of dogs. One fair maiden gave me a water bowl with ice in it.

Canoeing

Sit in the boat, sit in the boat, sit in the boat.

Summer, oh summer

Sometimes I think Washington State is the land of endless winter and rain, but it got to be 90 degrees today. Stephen said it felt good to sweat. What is sweat? Anyway, we went to the Banker's Spit dog park twice today, that was fun.

30 days in the hole

I could see it coming. Stephen and Kathy were putting their removable fur in those big black bags. Then they took me to Petsmart and left me. At first I thought I was there for puppy play time, then I realized they weren't coming back.

It is a bit noisy sleeping with the other dogs in cages; was it something I said?

Summertime in Seattle

Today the temperature reached 92 degrees Fahrenheit or about 33 Celsius. What is a Rottweiler to do? We can't sweat so how can we handle the heat. Easy! Jump in the lake, so Kathy and I did. She had me practice retrieving my ball. I don't really like putting my head in the water, but I do like holding my ball in my mouth. Life is a tradeoff.

Later for Hound Around Town we went to the Al Lago patio. Tiare brought be a big bowl of water with ice cubes, yumm.

Wading in Lake Tapps

Friday, the pack decided to declare Pau Hana and we went to the Banker's Spit dog part. After we Played Ball, I cooled off in Lake Tapps, Kathy sat on the shore and Stephen played with his iBone.

Viking park and Hound Around Town

The weather was fantastic today and no self respecting dog would stay inside. So we loaded up the mobile crate and headed to Viking Park. I saw Kyle and Casy; Kyle and Kathy talked while Casy and I romped. She is a pretty skilled ball dog. I told her a little about the Wailua Homesteads Large Dog park and she told me what she has been up to; she likes to hike.

After a good round of ball we got back in the mobile crate and headed for a shopping center to work. We did Hound Around Town from Good Will, past Hungry Dawgs to the Safeway and back. We went into Pet Pro and Kathy and I walked up and down every aisle, (they have some really interesting stuff at dog level). Stephen bought me a Kong and Kong biscuits and when I got off work he gave it to me.
