About Me

My photo
I'm a dog. Dog is good! I was born in 2007 on the day after Christmas, which makes me a late present... I live in Marin, California with my human daddy, Dan and human mummy, Angela. They wanted to adopt a rescue puppy and although they were pre-approved, the organization declined them at the last minute because they work (while also telling them that dogs are expensive to keep). Mummy and daddy were very sad but it all turned out for the best - we all got to rescue each other and they get to spend their hard earned money on me! I'm a lovable chap and enjoy swimming, snow, tennis balls, cuddling and having my tummy rubbed. Not necessarily in that order.

Dog Days of Summer 2013 - The Right Start

WOW! WOW! WOW! It's the summer holidays and I get to come too!! Best of all, we are in Tahoe for ten days. This is one of my favourite places as there is hiking, water, tennis balls, water, sometimes snow, water, lakes, tennis balls, great smells, water and sniffs!!!
Today is our first full day and we are getting things off to the right start with a morning swim....in the LAKE!! Here's daddy showing perfect form in the lake. He swims a long way out!
Here's me. I swim close to shore to fetch the tennis balls that mummy throws out into the lake for me to fetch. I too exhibit perfect form like daddy.

Here are some dogs who are just plain showing off!! Paddle boarding canines indeed!
Here I am trying to teach daddy the basics of 'fetch'. He really isn't grasping the concept. I sat on the beach for a very long time, waiting for him to swim to the ball and bring it to me. 
In the end, it was easier to just swim out there and get it myself!!
No worries. We can practice again tomorrow!!
