Life Support

Even though it turned cold yesterday Mom still took us for a walk  (she says Denny Dumpling needs lots of exercise) By time we reached the 'Life Support' sign Dweeb thought for sure it was snack station cause he was dying of hunger and needed some life support :)  Mom says don't worry - he is getting plenty to eat - she has just cut out all treats.

As you can see MY park is finally greening up which is making the Mom soooo happy - she kept mumbling about how fresh it all smells and how the dogwoods smell so pretty. Trust me Mom - dog pee is what is all about when we come to the park! And check me out - Mom thought I looked so funny when I spotted a squirrel and jumped on this stump to watch it. Can you believe she told ME I couldn't chase it - but two seconds later I did  and I nearly caught the little bugger too! I told Mom she has to get me some climbing boots - the kind with spikes on the bottom so I can follow the tree rats up a tree !

  8. Climbing boots would be uber cool Reilly!

    I saw an albino squirrel today! Never seen one before. I only got a quick glimpse of its body and tail though....I wonder if it could be a cowspot squirrel?

  12. Climbing boots! That would be fantastic. You'd really shock those squirrels!

    Now, Reilly, you be careful...no treats for Denny might mean no treats for you!

  15. You may not be getting as many treats but at least you're getting lots of long walkies and we all know you love long walkies!

    Feel sorry for you that you are getting the cold! We're so lucky over here in England, we've been getting lots of lovely weather the past few days which is really weird (with us living in England and all!). Fingers&paws crossed that the weather stays this way for us and becomes warmer for you guys!

    Lots of hugs, woofs and wags!

  18. Howdy Mates. Hey Reilly, we love your boots. HOw come you have to wear them mate? We're a bit behind and didn't know Denny is being starved by your mum! No treats?? It's just not fair. He looks perfect to us. You gave us a laugh imagining you climbing up a tree to get the squirrel hehe. Take care mates.
    No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

  19. It was cold here yesterday too, and super duper windy!!! But today was truly a glorious day! We got to go for a long walk with Mom, but we did't find any parks along the way. We need to get to your part of the world because you have such pretty ones.

  22. I'm only allowed to chase squirrels in my back yard, and they always jump up on the fence and get away. :( It's totally not fair.

  23. Life Support...What a good idea. So, no treats there?? Your dog park looks like it's preparing for Spring weather, but still a bit wet. Is it still cold? Have a great holiday.
    Smooches,
