Swimming Lessons

Another action packed weekend for me, hoomans! I'm still lethargic today. I need a catnap. ::GASP:: NO! I didn't mean it! Cats are vile creatures! I need a dognap! Ok sorry.

Ok so Alpha met up with Ben, Aaron, another doggie who's name escapes me, (I think it was really a fish...) and Lizard ::Lilo, her name is Liz:: But you called her::Nevermind what I called her! Her name is Liz!!:: FINE. Ben, Aaron, doggie, and LIIIIIIIZ (:P at Alpha) ::put that tongue back in your mouth, missy::
SOOO Alpha met up with them to kaak at a lake. The other dog just wanted to swim (a FISH I tell you!) so the only way I could play was to brave the waterstuff. I decided to hitch a ride on Alpha's kaak, and then when we were a fair distance away he said it was time for me to learn and PUSHED me in! Being the super brilliant learner that I am i figured out how to stay afloat ::I think you still need some work on technique, you looked like a cat trying to swim :) ha:: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!! I AM NOT A CAT!

Here I am learning:

 

Note the pure concentration on my face. Here's one of me doing the Shakity Shake Dance:

Before long I'll be a sailor! Alpha says I get my own PFD when I get bigger. I don't know what that is but it's supposed to make me "legit" when we go paddle!
As my friend Dori says, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."

I'm BAAAAACK

Helloooo Hoomans!!

I apowogize for not updating my blog in so long. We had SUCH a busy weekend and I was worn out. ::Adam intervention, she was too tired to update her blog, but not too tired to run around my coffee table in circles for a solid 15 minutes going as fast as possible:: Saturday Alpha was going kaaking ::Lilo, it's kayaking, you can make the 'yak' sound, you yap all the time:: with one of his litter mates Ben and another hooman Aaron. Ashley didn't want me to go because last time he took my to the river I thought the paddlers needed rescuing so I barked my "danger" bark and tried to jump in most of the time. Ashley was afraid I would try and save Alpha and sink in the rapids trying. Luckily for me, Master's matriarch and her mate Steve were coming to play with me while they kaaked!!!

I was not worried about their safety this time. I knew my pack leader could save them if they were in danger. But just in case I stood careful watch.



Shortly thereafter I became bored and decided to practice my biting. Here I am chewing tiny sticks. Or grass. I don't remember.



And here I found my heaven: a pile of sticks to chew!!



After awhile, Alpha decided to show smaller hoomans how kaaking is really done, but there was no one to rescue him if he ran into danger! I had to be ready to spring in to action!



He was fine, but just to be sure I had to check him out when he kaaked back over to me.



Boy, I can't wait until I get my own lifejacket so I can kaak with them!! I rode with him everytime he came over to the side. It was very exciting.
Well, I gotta go tinkle really bad.. my bladder is still pretty small.. But here is a picture Alpha says the hoomans may like of the kaaking.



Comment on my blog! I'm trying to learn hooman talk!
