College Bound

I visited my second college campus last week. It was a beautiful fall day and I asked Mom and Dad to take me some place different for my afternoon walk. We ended up at University of Richmond campus. Only about a 5 min drive from our house. What a great campus. They have a lovely lake to go swimming in. It was a little chilly for me but I saw a golden retriever jumping in and getting the ball that his owner kept tossing into the lake. His coat must be thicker than mine because he didn't mind the cold water at all. Anyway, we just walked around and took a few pictures.

MomMom and the ladies at the library will enjoy these next few pictures. The library at UofR is very pretty. I wonder if they have any books about dogs in there?

Milestones

Mom, Dad and I travled to Philly this past weekend so that we could attend a wonderful event. The 90th Birthday bash for Mom's grandmother, Babci. She's a wonderful lady. She has three sons, 7 grandchilren, and 5 great-grandchildren. She still lives in her own home, has a boyfriend, a cute little canary and up until a year ago, still went out dancing once a week. I hope I have her kind of energy when I'm 90 (I thinkt that's like 15 in dog years). Anyway, here are some photos of the great event.

You might be wondering where I was during all these festivities. Well, let's just say that I love kielbasa and I ate a lot of it. This was the result.

New Game

We visited MomMom and PopPop this past weekend in the Philly area. A big tree in their backyard dropped it's leaves all over the backyard. It made this beautiful carpet of red, gold, orange and yellow. So pretty. We didn't get to see colors like this in Michigan. When summer was over (in early September), leaves would suddenly turn brown one day and then be on the ground the next. I much prefer the pretty colors of the trees on the east coast. Best of all, I discovered a new game! Leaf catching! The rules are simple. Have your human toss a bunch of leaves in the air and then jump up and try to catch as many as you can.

Another new game. Tug o' war with Mom on a swing.

Happy Halloween? Bah-humbug!

I really don't like Halloween. A couple years ago, a three foot tall Darth Vader appeared on our door step. He scared the bleep out of me so I barked at him. I guess I scared him back because he yelped, threw his arms up in the air and little bits of wrapped candy came flying out of his plastic bucket and rained down all over my head.

Well, I didn't get too scared last night. Mom and Dad played it smart and kept the storm door closed so that the little witches, monsters and Strawberry Shortcakes couldn't get to me. That barrier kept us safe so I didn't feel the need to bark but the goblins were still able to get their candy.


Here are some pictures of me playing with our glowing pumpkin. I decided to go diving in to retrieve the glowing light.

Got it
