Coryelle called us !!!!!

Well.... actually, Coryelle called Maisie, because Maisie is having a hard time at agility because every time she hears the teeter-totter bang, she about looses her mind, so mom wanted her to talk to Coryelle, and see if Maisie could tell her anything about what the problem is.
Now, Maisie did not even really want to talk about this and I think if she could of found the tin foil hats and shields mom made us for the G-20 summit, she would of had them on.

She was making this face as soon as Coryelle said teeter-totter,


and she was doing all kinds of calming signals. She must of yawned about fifty-million times, and she was laying in her quiet place the whole time they were chatting about it. She is a trooper, though. She agreed to give some Bach Flower remedies a whirl, and see if she could get a grip on herself to give this teeter thing another chance,so long as the Bach Flower drops didn't make her water taste funny, Do you believe she asked that? Geez.
She said she likes agility, and wondered if she could still do it, but not the teeter, and mom said sure, but other dogs are going to be doing the teeter, and you will still hear the noise, so when Coryelle said that to her, she said she would try the drops and see if they helped, cause school is fun, except for that noise.
You know how I know all this? I know all this cause I was listening in! BOL! AND, I couldn't shut up, cause I had something I really, really wanted to say, so finally Coryelle and mom said "what the heck do you want Morgan?" And I told Coryelle about how I had hurt something while running awhile ago, and I wanted mom to know that it was all better now, and I was feeling good again and ready to do "for real" agility, not the baby classes she put me in while I was getting better. So tomorrow, we are going to a competition agility class YIPPEE!

Coryelle asked Maisie is she wanted to go tomorrow, and Maisie said "NO" so mom said she didn't have to go, and Maisie made this face.

So, then they started chatting about all the easy-walk harnesses Maisie has chewed off herself,


and how she has to wear a limited slip collar, which mom hates,


but we have to wear one or the other, cause both of us has figured out how to back out of regular collars, and Maisie started telling about how the harness bothers her hairs, and feels funny and told Coryelle to tell mom the limited slip isn't as bad as it looks, and she wants to wear that if she has to wear something.
Then, I had to chime in again, but by now, Coryelle was listening to both of us. I wanted to say I really liked Maisie, and Coryelle told Maisie if she ever had any questions about stuff that she could ask me cause I am older & Maisie said OK, so, that was pretty cool, and I went over and laid down beside Maisie, cause she had finally come out from half under the bed cause the teeter talk had stopped. And Coryelle said she would call again, and Maisie was saying she knew it was stupid to be afraid of that sound, but she couldn't help herself, and Coryelle said that's OK, cause she would help her, and then Maisie seemed to get perkier and sent Coryelle a kiss.
So, that's what I, I mean we, did today. Everybody, send Maisie, some good teeter-totter vibes, K?

Halloween Parties !!!

I just have to tell you about these three Halloween parties mom took us to. They were sooo much fun. Two of them were hosted by Animal Friends shelter. Those people really know how to throw a good party! The first one by Animal Friends was just up the street in the park by our house. Cousin Rocky came to be our "escort". We wore our hula skirts, and Rocky got himself a shirt to match our outfits.

Here we are at the official picture taking place.

Cousin Rocky. Look at his cool "shades".

It was pretty crowded, and there was lots of stuff to look at.

There was this witch, but she was a nice witch, and she helped us bob for weenies.


It was a fun day.

The next party was at the nursing home that our therapy dog group goes to. Maisie and I had just been to the beauty shop, so we had these pretty candy corn bandanas to wear.


We did a little agility show, and stupid pet tricks, and then we visited.


The third party was on Halloween night, so it was much spookier than the other ones. This one was held at the Animal Friends shelter. It was nice. there was a table of food for the peoples, and a table of home made cookies for us doggies.


This is us waiting for everything to get started...

After snacks, we went outside to trick-or-treat. And oh, my, doG, guess what was there??? Another tub-o-weenies!! I had two and a half, because mom pulled the third one out of my mouth. Something about "not being allowed" to eat three whole weenies, because "nobody should eat three whole weenies".

Maisie got herself all involved in the giant hay stack that had dehydrated chicken strips buried in it. Mom says she makes better food choices than I do. BOL! Look at her - her eyes are all glazed over!

We had to go around and find these people and do whatever trick they told us to do, and if we did the trick, we got a treat to put in our trick-or-treat bags they gave us. we had to sit in the hoop, and do a sit, and a down, and jump over a broom, I forget what all, but we did good.



Then, we went back inside and played games, and the last 20 minutes was an off leash doggie social.




We made out pretty good with the trick-or-treating! here are our bags,


and here is all the loot!


We had a really, really good time,
but I still really, really, really miss this....

Canoe Creek State Park

HOWDY DOODY DOOODLE DOOO!!!!! HEY! IT'S ME!!! MAISIE!!! HOW YA BEEN???
Morgan says I can tell you about our two trips to this swell park near Cousin Rocky's place. It's called Maisieland. what? oh, alright. It's called Canoe Creek State Park. Anyways, I get to tell about it 'cause I saw more of it than Morgan did. The first time we went her leg got gimpy, and mom took her back to the car and me and Rocky and Aunt Lu kept on hiking.
We knew the place would smell good, because as soon as we got out of the car, we saw this.

We took a walk on the Limestone Trail

and saw what's left of these old limestone kilns.


They are even older than mom!

Here is Rocky & Aunt Lu standing in one of them. It's sort of a spooky place.

After Morgan got gimpy, me and Rocky & Aunt Lu walked around some more and Morgan & mom went back to the car. Then we drove closer to the lake, so we could check that out.




Morgan & mom sat at this bench

and Aunt Lu took me and Rocky down to see the far end of the lake.



A couple of weeks later, we had to go back to Rocky's place for family business. This time we got Sunday dinner and took it to the park and had a picnic!


While we were in town, we hit that Rails to Trails place again. You can be off leash there. It's fun.







Now, it's Halloween and I'm supposed to say "don't eat any chocolate". We already went to one Halloween party, and tonight, we are going to another one. Morgan says she will tell you about them in the next post.
Happy Halloween! Your pal, Maisie
