Canada Day excursion to MacDonald Beach
Hiya Doggers!
The Duke, my monkey and I hit the beach on Canada Day, it was a warm sunny day and we could ask for nothing more!
Here are some pics of our day.
The rubber chicken hunter stalks his prey...
As handsome as ever...
Okay, rubber chicken, blue rubber bowling pin, same difference
It's a otter, it's a beaver, its super JJ!
Where's Duke?
I wonder where this goes...
Hup!
A short walk...
End of the log...
Home free, no muddier than before!
Later doggers!

WTF?
Hiya Doggers!
Okay, what's up with Chinese Astrology? A wise and ancient culture my doggy butt...
How, HOW I ask you can a dog be a Monkey? I already have a monkey, why confuse things with another? And you know what's even weirder?
Duke is also a monkey.
i barfed this morning
And my monkey is also a Monkey. A double monkey...
i think i barfed on the monkey's pillow when the alarm clock went off this morning. i like pillows, so soft
That's like, either three, or four, monkeys in one house! No wonder I need to hide under my blanket to get some peace and quiet!
have i barfed on you jj?
Sheesh... See what I have to deal with?
Why can't I just be a Dog?

Run JJ, run!
Hiya Doggers,
One of the blogger doggers out there, Captain was asking about learning to run but I can't figure out how to get my comments to stick.
Sort of like peeing off a cliff, no evidence to sniff at...
My monkey started me on a walk run program when I was 6 months old. We walked for five minutes then ran for one minute and did this for 30 minutes. We did this 3 x week for a month. Then, we added one minute of running, so five minutes walking and two minutes running. I could run for way longer but my monkey was looking pretty tired, so I thought it best we walk. After all that is the hand that feeds me- I had venison from breakfast this morning and I even ate some of Duke's breakfast too. He eats slowly and stands up tall to chew- that's when I sneak in without him knowing ;-)
i know now jj. i thought i had less for breaky today and was wondering what was up
Ahem. So back to walk running. We kept adding on one minute of running until we got to five minutes of walking and fifteen minutes of running. At the same time we increased the distance we ran by 5% or five minutes each week, with one walk run being 50% longer than the other two after the first four weeks. Just like my monkey does with my triathlon group! I'm an athlete too ~: ~: ~:
I only run on soft ground, dirt roads or trails mostly. Apparently sidewalks are very bad for osteo arthritis- osteo; that's something with bones. I like bones, I wish I had one right now to munch on...
mmmmm bone
Where was I... Ok, every fourth week is an easy week where we do a lot less. And in the winters when it is dark and cold and raining a lot we run less too. But snowshoe more! I love snowshoeing and playing in the snow. I even went cross-countru skiing once and loved it. My monkey was way fast going down hills, but way slow going up hills so I could keep up no problems.
After we go to five min walk and fifteen min run, we then started taking off one minute of walking; four minute walk and fifteen minute run, then three, two and one. So by the time I was just over 2 years old I was running and running and running. I can easily run for up to two hours on any give day, except if I ran two hours the day before...
I even do faster running on a stupid round thing called a "track". Its so easy to keep up and go faster, but the monkeys always run the long way and don't cut across the middle...
I still went to the park pretty much every day to play with other doggers, its not like I am Forrest Gump or anything.

My hero...
Hiya Doggers,
As you may already know, I fancy myself as a bit of a rabbit hunter. What I didn't know was there was a role model for me out there...
I wonder if I can start a Canine Church of Elmer? All services can be held in the blackberry patch behind Jericho Sailing Centre at dawn and dusk when the wabbits are fwiskiest.

Remember that last post?
Um, like I was saying I so did not do it!
I was snoozing on the sofa when the mug fell off the counter and a dog who will remain anonymous fell from the kitchen counter and into the water bowl...
I was sure the crash of mug, dog and stainless steel water bowl was loud enough to alert the authorities, but it wasn't until a good while (of dog time) later until my monkey and his Mom got back. My monkey knew I was innocent as soon as he saw the rubber chicken in the sink...
my chicken! where?
In the sink Duke, where you dropped it after jumping up on the counter... ring any bells?
i don't wear a bell jj. you do
It's a figure of speech Duke. Its like saying "remember".
really? that's kind of funny when i don't wear a bell but you do. do bells help you remember stuff?
[sigh]
Night Doggers!

Tug-O-war
Hiya Doggers,
Chalk up another milestone for Duke and I! Yesterday we played tug-of-war with a stick.
Being a loving and caring big brother, I brought the stick to Duke while holding one end and poked him in the muzzle with the other end. Duke got the idea and chomped on and we had a great tug-O-war!
My monkey praised me lots for that so I was strutting around all proud of myself.
i won the stick pull
More like I let you win! I was being a good sport.
is that when you fall over before your head gets twisted off?
Sheesh, some folk can't take their wins graciously!
All for now doggers,
