The Vet Adventure

I kind of get the feeling Mum tricked me today when she said it was time for an Adventure, because she wound up taking me to the vet for my check up. The vet is a bit like Mum's work because there are a lot of tasty treats, people to pat me, and dog and cat scents to sniff. Erica, my vet, is a pretty nice human, but she always seems to do things like give me nasal sprays and take my temperature, which isn't really much fun. She gave Mum a treat to take home for me though, so she remains pretty nice.

Mum, do I have to see the vet?

After I got a clean bill of health, Mum made up for my vet visit by taking me to a new park. It was a park that Mum used to visit a lot because she lived close by to it, and she took Zeke and the dog she had before me, Jayne. It must have been a very long time ago because I couldn't scent any Zeke-smells.

There were some interesting things to do at this park, (it was called Mountview Park but I couldn't see any mountains from it) like rock-climbing.

There was also walking on walls! Mum says this is great practice for when we do Agility.

We got home in time to do some gardening, then we cooked a roast chicken... I am very helpful with household chores.

See?

Adventure at Austin's Abode

Today Zeke and I got to go on an Adventure to Austin's place! There are lots of things to smell, half-eaten toys to chase, and of course there is Austin to play with! Zeke spent most of his time trying to get the attention of the kids next door, since his legs have mostly been too sore to play much, but even he had a short play with Austin. (Everybody likes Austin!)

Wrestle time!

Sometimes Austin knocks me over!

Pretzel time!

Adventures with Austin

Well, it's been a quiet week for Adventures. Mum has been sick - she even had time off work which she NEVER does, so we haven't been going very far. We even missed out on Agility which was a shame. But Mum is getting better so we went out today - I got a surprise when we got to the beach, because my very-best-friend-Austin was there, too!

Austin and I always have a heap of fun, especially when we have a  beach adventure. Just because he's little (oh, and NEVER tell Austin that I said he's little) doesn't slow him down - he can keep up with me no problem and he never gets tired.

We played at racing, then tag, which is one of Austin's favourites. We also did some swimming, and checked out all the little tide pools. The beach was BIG today with lots of rivers, channels and pools.

I also had time for my usual spa bath. Austin doesn't really get spa baths, because he doesn't like to stay still for that long.

There was just time for a few last wrestles before we went home.
