Where's Waldo? Clues!

Last night I snuck onto Mamas phone when she was sound asleep and found some pictures Daddy sent! There were lots of words but I didn't have a lot of time to read them. I managed to swipe the pictures for my blog thankfully before Mama woke up.

It looks like Daddy went somewhere deep in the woods? A vacation - I hope not. He promised me I get to go on the next one! Hopefully I can piece this together tonight.


Hmmm... Daddy in some woods... He's looking very scruffy?


Hmmm... Some beautiful mountains... I wonder?


Now that's a funny piece of paper? What do those words say?
Something fishy is going on!

One Year Forever Home

Exactly one year ago today my life changed forever...

I don't remember much about being a baby or being with my DogMama, but what I do know is that mother nature had chosen me, and I was extremely lucky.

When I was only six weeks old some amazing humans took me from my shelter home in South Carolina and brought me to the Big Apple. Unlike so many unlucky fellow canines I had escaped a terrible fate. I was fostered and loved by the volunteers at Last Chance Animal Rescue until I was old enough to find a forever home.



That's when I met Mama and Daddy. They had both lost their big dog loves in at battle against canine cancer and were looking to fill a deep void in their hearts and homes. I was the perfect fit (although no one knew just yet).

After a few hours of filing paperwork, answering questions, and fighting off many other interested (and not polite) humans... I went home... Forever.



We quickly grew into a small loving family with an unbreakable bond. Everyday has been an adventure with my human family and I thank DOG and mother nature for choosing me. I thank Last Chance for giving me the love and care I needed to be ready to find my forever home. And I will be forever grateful for being given the two most perfect humans to share my life with in my Forever Home.

Where's Waldo?

Wednesday morning Daddy got up extra early for work and left with a bag of clothes (usually this only happens on laundry day... it's not laundry day) and he hasn't come home!!!

Me and Mama have been staying at GG & Pop Pop's house with cousins Pedro, Marley & Kitty Kitty (A.K.A. Killer Kitty).... And Mama keeps asking me Where's Waldo? Who cares about Waldo, I want my Daddy to come home!!!

Where could he be? It's too cold for fishing! I hope he didn't get kidnapped! Hopefully I will gather some clues and solve this mystery...



Yeah he looks sweet right? WRONG! This little furball won't give me a moments peace! He stalks me, growls at me, spits at me, flashes his deadly claws, and hisses at me! I just want to be friends! The nerve of some cats...

Training; BANG Goes The Gun & Mama's Balloons

Two weekends ago Mama and Daddy went on a vacation to a place called Pennsylvania. I was not invited... But I guess they had felt so bad for leaving me behind because they brought me presents!

I got a new bird (Daddy calls it a mallard) and a new perfect fitting vest with flotation! So now I can go swimming even longer! Mama got some gear too so now she can come in the water to play.



Mama and Daddy took me out on the boat to try out my new gear. It works great except for one thing. Every so often just before I get the bird I hear a big BANG!!! I don't pay any attention and for some reason it makes Mama and Daddy really happy.

After a little while Daddy told me the big BANG is a noise that comes from his magic stick called a gun. When Daddy points his gun it makes the big BANG and then he says the bird will fall and I will have to bring it back. I could care less!



I also learned how to hold my breath and jump off of the boat into the water to get my bird. This is so much fun and again for some reason it makes Mama and Daddy really happy. People are confusing sometimes...






Then this weekend everyone was making a big fuss about Mama. Grandma, Daddy, and Grandpa bought mama presents and made some very good smelling food. I didn't get any presents but Mama shared the yummy food with me.

Then... These big floating colorful things were all over the house! Daddy would put them to his mouth and they would grow and grow, and then quicker than a rabbit they would make a loud noise and fly all over! I did not like them one bit. I chased as fast as I could and when I finally got one BANG!!! It disappeared. The nerve of these things....

Daddy told me later they were Mama's birthday balloons and I felt bad for killing them. But Mama was all smiles and full of laughter so I guess she forgave me.
