Something new!

Boy, it's getting hot here. Luckily, Dave and Pat don't keep me out too long in the afternoon. But boy the mornings and evenings are great! First of all I still try to wake Dave up about two hours before he usually gets up. Then he has all he can do to keep me from waking Pat up. But once I get him up we might set on the couch for a little while then we head out. I love the morning thing we do. Dave plops my harness on the floor and I walk in circles around it until he picks me up and places my paws into the holes and wraps it around me. Then, I begin turning around and it drives him crazy while he tries to clip the leash on me. I've got to cool that a little, I think he's getting upset with me when I do that.

The mornings are the best! We now walk to this place where they have all the camping people and I get to chase squirrels, birds and lizards. Although, those lizards are everywhere it seems. Lately, after he takes me for a long walk there's something new and really fun we just started doing. He takes me on this two wheel thing in a brightly colored basket. I wouldn't mind but he ties me in the thing, but I can sit up and see things much better. Plus I get lots of wind in my face.

I got to show you this thing.

You may not be able to make them out but there are four really big birds that caught my eye.

 

It's really comfortable and I can look all around.

 

Then we headed into this (I think its called a) camping place. That's when I noticed this thing walking right toward us. Yikes, what a strange looking thing. I just had to take a closer look at it.

 

 Dave put me on the ground and I got to get as close as I wanted to. I barked at it and all it did was make its head and paws (I think) go away. As soon as we rode away he stuck his paws and head out and began to walk away... not very fast either! This thing was no fun to chase. Dave called it a turtle, whatever that is.

 Take that you funny looking thing!

 

Ahhhh, this is the coolest thing. Dave calls it "Lilly's bucket seat!"

 

I hear some of you go for bike rides now and then, well now we can get these baskets for all of your doggie friends and we can go with you guys! That would be awesome!

I'm One Year Old! Or is it seven years old, I'm confused!

My very first Birthday! Wow, I can't believe it. Where did seven years go! At least that's what Dave keeps saying... "Now that your seven Lilly, you're no longer a baby," he says!
But I really liked the party Dave and Pat gave me. They held me up to the table put this funny hat on my head and then put this big really good looking (and smelling) dog bone right in front of me. I couldn't keep away from it. Hmmmm, now I know why I had more "lap" time with Dave and Pat today.

 

Wow, nice layout! 

 

I got to check the table setting out while Dave was getting the camera. But, here's all I could see.....

 

After I caught my breath I could focus.

I tell you I was "star struck!"

 

We had to take so many pictures, my hat didn't stay on.

 I tried in vain to grab that bone... they took sooooo many pictures!

 There, hat's on straight. I took my eyes off the bone long enough...."click," I think you're going to like this photo!

 

Now, time for a group photo...

...take 1... no good, hat fell.

 

Take 2.... darn hat fell! What do you expect, Dave was holding my chin!

 

Ahhhhhh! Happy Birthday to me, happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me!

Why won't this darn thing light so I can blow it out!

 

Even the local tree frog wished me a Happy Birthday! This little guy hung out by the front door and man he squawked so much and so loud we thought a house alarm was going off.

 

 

Now its time to get down to business.....eating my Birthday bone!
