Had a Bad Day :(

Today was a bad, bad day.

This morning I went outside for my morning patrol.  When I came back in, one of my people was missing!  I looked everywhere.  My other person said, "Don't worry," but people don't know when they should worry and when they shouldn't.  Eventually, I figured out that my person went out without telling me.  I was no longer worried, but I was sad.

Then, after my other person said goodbye to me, it started raining.  Raining really, really, really, really hard.  Then, it got dark and all of the regular noises in the house stopped.  Instead, there were really loud noises outside.  I didn't like it one bit!

My day started getting better when one person came home very early.  I was so excited!  The excitement didn't last long.  He said hi to me, gave me a treat, and left again a few minutes later. :-(

Recovering from a bad dayFinally, the day seemed better.  Rain stopped and I went outside.  Yay!  I had fun until I tried to come back in.  My door did not open.  What?!?  It always opens when I want it to.  I tried and tried and tried and tried to open it, but it did not open.

I got scared and started yelling to anyone who could hear me.  I yelled and yelled and yelled.  Nobody could hear me.  I was so worried that I would never get back into the house.

Finally, my person came home earlier than usual.  I was the happiest to see him that I've ever been.  I jumped and jumped and jumped as high as I could so he'd know how happy I was.  He hugged me, played with me, gave me treats, and fixed my door.  I was so glad!

My bad day had a good ending, but now I'm very tired.  I hope not to have this kind of day for a long, long, long time.

A Hike!

Today, we did one of my favorite things.  We took a hike!

There are so many great smells on a hike.  It's impossible for me to smell them all.  My people don't seem to really appreciate all of the smells because they keep telling me to keep moving.  People can be pretty strange sometimes.

There were other people who were really strange and scary on the hike.  These people were moving very fast on wheels.  Most people were on 2 wheels, but there was one especially scary person on just one wheel.  He looked like he was out of control!  Luckily, none of these wheel-people hit me, but they always scare me a little.

On alert for danger!

I was surprised at how dry the trail was.  Even the river didn't have any water.  The only water was in a black bag carried by my people.  I was glad they had some water to share with me.  They may act strange at times, but my people always think ahead!

After the hike, my people went to a place that smelled really good!  They call the place "Tacodeli".  I like the smells, but my people always forget to give me food when we go there.  My people eat, but they don't share with me.  I think they're just distracted by all of the good smells, too.

Just out of reach!To make things worse, my people won't even let me reach all of the good food that's on the ground!  *Sigh*

Despite the issues with the food, today was a great, great day with great smells and a lot of activity.  Now, I'll have to rest up for the next great adventure.  I'm pretty tired!

Resting up for a new adventure

Puppy Catches bin Laden!

As head of security for my neighborhood, I know a lot about how to keep people safe.  However, my people showed me this amazing story about another pup who caught Bin Laden!  He did have help from some people, but I am sure that the pup was in charge of the plan.  (Pups are the best at security!) 

Accompanying the Navy Seals who completed the bin Laden mission was a faithful four-legged fighter. The trained military dog, either a German Shepherd or a Belgian Malinois, was attached to a human Seal and lowered from a helicopter into the compound. Wearing canine armor, he went along to sniff out hidden explosives or, if necessary, find a secret room of bin Laden's.
