Labor Day Weekend

I dont know why it's called Labor Day, cuz all I did this weekend was chillax.

It was another gorgeous day here in Sandy eggo, so Mom took me to the beach to meet up with some of my favorite doggie friends. I know I'm completely spoiled livin here...its a quick 10 minute drive to several great dog beaches and luckily Mom likes em as much as I do.

Kona was there (aka Kone-man)...his first time at doggie beach. Bella the bulldog, Cooper & Lucy, and Molly even made her debut at the doggie beach. Her humans just got her from the Humane Society a few weeks ago. She was picked up as a stray and no one ever came to claim her. Poor girl...how could anyone lose something as cute as her and not go searching high and low?

Anyway, here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the day.

Bella...hangin with the big dogs (check out my smile!)

Kona liked chasin me, and being chased is one of my most favoritest things to do!

Miss Molly...sittin pretty

Bella, rescuing a drowning piece of seaweed. Brave girl!

Mom put together some photo movies for you so you could see me in action in the water. Hope you like em! Check out how far out into the water I go. I think I was actually swimmin at one point! Thank goodness the wave washed back out quickly and I was able to put my feet back on the bottom.

NeighborDog Dageaux

Tonight, NeighborDog Dageaux stopped by to say "Hi". Mom and I were just gettin ready to head to dog park, so instead we invited him in for a little playin and rompin.

Dageaux is a super handsome Brindle dane who lives around the corner with his super nice human, Duncan. He's about 13 months old and all legs!

I think you can really see the Greyhound bloodlines in Dageaux. Mom thinks he came from a BYB like me, cuz his daddy was a fawn dane and his mommy was a blue dane. She says that's not a good color match, at least according to the Great Dane Club of America. That means that while Dageaux is a super great fellow to hang around with, he really shouldn't be bred. Luckily his human is planning on gettin him fixed pretty soon. He doesn't really seem broken to me though, so I'm a little confused.

As you can see from these pictures, he's quite a bit taller than me. I'm a bit stockier when compared to Dageaux, which is funny cuz Mom was just tellin me this morning that I must be havin a growth spurt in the vertical direction this week cuz she was startin to see a few ribs again.

This isn't a very good picture of me, but Mom wanted me to post it anyway cuz she said you can really see the difference in height here.

We had a really great time foolin around tonight! Dageaux likes to play chase but Mom's yard is not quite big enough for two of us big doggies to be runnin around full speed in, so instead we wrestled around and played bitey face for a lil while.

I got him pinned real good here!

Then it was Dageaux's turn. He thought he was bitin me, but all he was really doin was chewin on his own leg! What a dork!

I smooshed him real good a little later on!

It was pretty hot out though, so our play din't last very long. We shared a drink of water and both our humans were laughing at us cuz our tongues were so long!

We played for a little bit longer, and then when we were both pooped out and restin Dageaux's human said they had to get going. Din't they know we were just gettin our 2nd wind?

Hopefully he'll come back soon for another playdate! That was fun!

6 little things that make me HAPPY!

Oh boy! I've been tagged by Mr. Darcy...all the way from Australia! He's a beautiful Mantle dane who also blogs like me. I'm tellin ya, us Danes are smart cookies!

Anyway, the game is called "6 little things that make me happy", so here you go!

#1. Off Leash Dog Beaches. Definitely, most probably, my favoritest thing to do is running and playing in the surf at dog beach here in Sandy eggo.

#2. Stealin other doggies toyz when they aint lookin. I'm gettin real good at it! (check out how stealth I am to do it while the other doggies are arguing with each other)

#3. NOT, sittin on the couch. Which I know better (according to Mom). But, see...my feet are on the floor and that's all dat matters. I dont care what she says.

#4. Lately, one of my favoritest things that makes me happy is my cool coat. I know...it sounds silly to put a coat on when its 100 degrees outside, but you should try it before you say much more!

Its been super duper hot here in Sandy eggo. Hot and humid, which is not normal for this area, which also means we dont have a special machine that conditions the air. I'm not sure how it works, but I've felt that air (the one that's been conditioned) when we walk by stores. It feels nice and cool and I always wish we could go inside.

Instead, Mom got me this jacket. She says its made of some sort of super duper special fabricky stuff that allows the air to cool me more efficiently on hot days. It can be used dry or wet, I personally like it when its wet cuz then it feels really good.

#5. My super camouflaged rope toy. Its my uber favorite, since its camo...just like me! ( I bet you can hardly see it against my handsome camo coat!)

Unfortunately, I liked this toy SO much that it fell apart. Ok, I admit it...I chewed it apart. Again, couldnt help myself!

#6. Lastly, dis is something that I just learned about, but it sure makes me happy!

Mom usually gives me the mad face and for some reason I keep havin to do "time-outs" when she sees me doin this to other doggies. She says its rude behavior and not somethin I should be doin. I really cant help myself. I just get excited and then my body seems to have a mind of its own! Mom says not to worry though...end of the month she says I have an appointment with the bestest Great Dane Betterinarian in Sandy eggo.

She said I am going to get tutored...hmmm, that doesnt sound right. Scootered? no...that's not right either. Computered? noooo, dont think that's it either...

Oh yeah! Neutered! Does any doggie know what that means??

Now, for more fun! I get to tag 6 of my doggie friends to play this game. Boy...its gonna be tuff to decide, but here goes.

1) Konadog...my favoritest dog buddy in all of Merry-etta.

2) Truck...another handsome Great Dane with a great name!

3) Africa...a beautiful Boerboel. What a great breed that is!

4) Jasmine...a Boer goat (no, not a Boerboel...silly!)

5) Nala...a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback

6) Princess...a diva of a pit bull.

can't wait to see the things that make you happy! Once you've listed out your happy-things, make sure to tag 6 of YOUR friends to pass on the fun!

30 Week Measurements

G'maws & G'paws house

As some of you might know, I'm on a vacation. Well, not really...but Mom went up to some place called San Hose-eh to visit her sister and my new human cousin. Sophie KitTON stayed at home with our favoritest pet sitter Elissa, and I got to go to G'maws and G'paws house for the week.

Mom's called a few times to see how I am doing, and I think I overheard G'maw and G'paw tellin her I'd been naughty. I might have to agree with them. Its hard here though...there are LOTS of fun things to get into! Can I help it if all the bark around the yard tastes so yummy? I'm not swallowin it, I swear! Just chewin on it a bit...it seems a bit oversized to me and I think it would look much better if it were in smaller pieces.

Oh, and that zipper pull on the dog bed? It was loose. I swear. I was just tryin to put in back on correctly when it fell off in my mouth. I swear.

And can I help it if I was standing here minding my own business when the couch snuck up behind me and knocked my back legs down? Sheesh, I get blamed for everything.

p.s. Mom said there will be no weekly measurements this week, cuz she is too busy playin with my new human cousin. Stay tuned for next weeks growth!
