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

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
