Slacker Mom Is Off Her Butt, So Here Is The Rest of Birthday Week..

Which started August 29th, but the celebrating did last well into September so, I am not really complaining. A couple days after my birthday we took a vacation trip to Cousin Rocky's house. We went to the Rails to Trails,




and hung out in Rocky's yard.


and snooped around where we're not supposed to.

Mom owns this lot across the alley way and behind Aunt Lu's house. We think it would make an excellent dog park. All it needs is a fence and outdoor lighting for night time play, and an enclosure for when it rains, and somebody to be on guard to keep the skunks out. Oh, and some agility equipment, and a flyball course.



On Monday,the peoples had a big picnic for Labor Day, with plenty of good food.


check out the hamburgers and hot dogs!


I had a hot dog, Maisie had some hamburger, but then, mom comes out with this doggie birthday cake, that she baked herself! I never had that! Homemade birthday cake, WOW. She had doggie smoothies too, apple & peanut butter! Maisie, Rocky and my friends Max, and Raymond and Rudy
had a birthday party for me. It was fun.

Raymond, me, Maisie & Max


Raymond & Rudy and their mom Carol- they live next door to Rocky, and are his bestest friends.

Rudy says "Hey"


And you guys all know Rocky, and Aunt Lu.

Rocky has smoothie brain freeze. BOL!!

Ok, I am supposed to show a "nice" picture of Rocky...


The next day went to this place called Canoe Creek State Park. And,we went there again about 2 weeks later. Mom's Uncle Mearl crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and we went back to Rocky's place for a couple more days because mom wanted to go to his funeral. Mom says we will do another post about the park, so, later taters..


your pals, Morgan & Maisie

THIS WOMAN IS A SLACKER!!!!

Somebody better get my blog updated REALLY SOON.....
your pal, Morgan.

Bark in the Park.

The week-end before my birthday Cousin Rocky came to visit and we went to the Bark in the Park. It was hosted by Animal Friends,the shelter that my kitties Laura and Josie came from. This was the beginning of my birthday week kick-off.
Lots of dogs, people and vendors. I came home with a big ole bag-o-loot - toys and treats.

We got massages at the spa.


Here is Rocky getting his massage.


and me.

Maisie really, really got into hers. BOL!



There were games. We played this one where you step on those stars, and you get the prize that is written on the back. We got tennis balls and a tug-o-war toy.


Rocky was the only one of us still standing when it was time to go home. It was fun.


Mom says I have to show a picture of Josie and Laura, cause they are famous now that they are this weeks Cranimals of the week. And, somebody said they don't get enough time here, or on facebook, so, alright, here.
Go to the bottom of Cranimals web page to their facebook page for details. Oh, yeah, and I'm supposed to say "Congratulations, Josie and Laura"

It's my birthday!!

I looked like this 7 years ago - BOL!

We didn't do anything special today, which sort of ticks me off, but mom had to go to work. And, she remimded me that I had a big week-end last weekend, with cousin Rocky coming to visit, and going to the Bark in the Park ( pictures later, SOMEBODY needs to get them off the camera.)
Then, this week-end I went to that nursing home I like with my therapy dog friends, and we did an agility show for the residents, and I had an agility class on Saturday.
And,later on this week, we are going to take a trip and go see Rocky at his house, and have a picnic, and my doggie friends there will all come, so she assures me birthday week, which usually lasts 10 days, sometimes longer, will not be a bust. So, more later, I guess.
your pal, Morgan

Doin' the Hula!

I told you on our last post that we went to this doggie luau at our school, Splash and Dash K9 Sports. It was a blast, and we got to wear these way cool green grass skirts, and flowers around our necks.
This is me, right after I got out of the car trying to hurry up and get in there.

But mom said we better to go pee first.

We were supposed to remember to lift up our skirts before we peed, but later on in the day I forgot, and peed on mine.. BOL!!! But it was OK, turns out they rinse off nicely.
The first order of business was to say hi to our friend Jim, and have him take our official Luau picture over there under that sun umbrella.


We didn't get a copy of our official picture yet, so we will have to show it to you later...
Everything looked real nice inside, and all the people and doggies were wearing all their Hawaiian clothes.




There was an agility course all set up, I love the dog walk.


Maisie likes tunnels,

so do I.

There were good foodables. Jim cooked hamburgers and weenies in the grill. The people sat around and talked for awhile,


then we played games. The people tried the hula hoop. That was pretty funny. they found out they aren't as "agile" as us doggies!

We did the limbo. Both Maisie and I knocked the bar at 12 inches. Mom says we both tried to go under it with our hineys sticking up in the air. I am not positive, but I think this sheltie went under it at 8 inches - pretty nice!

It was a really nice day, but hot, so we went in the pool like our friends Tess and Jazz are doing here.

We had a really good time!
