#LostNDaPhone - More Chronicles From the Dog Park

Back in April I visited the Dog Park and here are the furiends I met:

First a pic with the sign.

Heading for the small dog area.

First there was a pack of rat terriers.  All different ages and all full of fun!

Then I played wif a German Shepherd in the big dog area.

Took a sploot break.






Then I found Big Boy!  He is an 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy.  He was half my age and four times my size.

We sniffed, we played and we ran!

Then this sweet girl was popped over the fence while her momma was playing wif her bigger siblings.  Her name is Chiquita.

I tried to play wif her....

...but she was a mature lady and didn't care for my puppy antics!

See she can't even keep her eyes on me I am so fast!



Then the Shih-Tzu brothers arrived!  One was a mature doggo and stayed wif his daddy but the other was a youngster like me and boy we had a time.

Sploot break.

A moment caught while we werent running.

Then the sun began to set and....

It was time to say good bye.  See you next time furiend!

When I got home I was so tired I had to rest my leg on mommas table.


Smooches,

#LostNDaPhone - Our First TX Tornado Watch

 A warm sunny May day that turned into a scary evening.  Here is a little throw back to our first TX Tornado Watch.

I set up shop on the couch to keep an eye to the sky.

Well before the skies turned grey the radar was a rainbow of yellows, reds and greens!  With cute little lightening bolts everywhere.

Once we took off the watches and warnings you can see the storm system headed our way.  We live under the blue dot in the center.

Here is our local news live cast from right down the road from mommas work.  SPOOKY!

Then the rain hit our house.

Rain poured, thunder rolled and lightning bolts filled the sky.

Momma attempted to get a picture of me in the rain, I protested and this was the best shot.  I wasn't about to risk getting wet!

Our porch was drenched and the sidewalk was a river.

Pictures don't do it justice it was a magical rain fall to see in the furs.

Thankfully no tornados hit in the WF area and we were all safe.  But it was just a bit scary hearing all the warnings seeing the live footage of the clouds near us.

Smooches,

We Got Swans!

Oh my dog!  Momma came home wif this bag the outside indicates we are getting a pet swan!  Comment below some name ideas!  Momma will we have to pay another pet fee at the complex office?


Let them swans out now!!!!  I am ready to play!

Time to get serious, how do you open this?

Chewing?

Digging?


Upon inspection I was disappointed.  There was just ice cream, chicken and pecan rolls.  Don't get me wrong I do love me some people foods but I wanted a swan....not Schwans!

Momma then explained that this is her prize for the the freezer bag frenzy contest at work.  I bartered with her that I gets 4 chicken bites so alls well that ends in chicken.....thats a sayin' right? anyhoo close enough.

Smooches,

Meeting a Facebook Furiend in the Fur - Daily Dose of Douglas

Not long after we moved here momma and I were pawing through facebook and saw a little ad saying "Pages you might like".  We swiped through hit like on a few puppy or pet-related pages.  One can never have too many adorable puppy pics in their FB feed.  Well one of those pages was called "Daily Dose of Douglas".  We followed his posts and one day noticed he lives in my city!!!! oH mY dOg!!!!  When both mommas realized it we made it our mission to have a meet up.  :)  In the mean time the mommas became fb friends and guess what they had mutual friends.  Small world!  Uncle Bobby and his sisters Robin and Missy.  They all grew up on the same street.  It blows my curly little mind!


It took some time but on May 26, 2018 we finally got to meet in da furs!  This is the first time getting to meet an internet pal! I packed the puppy bag with the essentials and a gift for Douglas.  When we arrived we did some sniffing and I checked his patio then we headed indoors to PLAY!


At first I sat close to momma. 



I stayed on the chair while Douglas and I kissed!


Even as I was getting pets from the guests....

We still kissed!



Then we got to play chase!  Momma says we did enough running to complete a marathon.  We did laps around the pool table, through the dinning room and around the couch.  We each took turns tricking the other by jumping on the couch.  Side note, the first time I hit the couch I slid half way across.  Their couch is leather and caught me off guard. BOL!




Through out the day more guests arrived and I greeted each one.  I got a great amount of belly rubs and in return gave lots of kisses!


Two of the guests were Mr. Sam and Ms Stefanie.  They came all the way from Switzerland.  They have a FB doggie to named GIGI! 

She brought toys for Douglas and we had fun playing fetch, keep away and making them squeak.

I  kept a watchful eye to all the food being brought inside.

And as the opportunity arose I got closer and closer to the kitchen.  Douglas' mom was furry generous wif treats and we snacked all day long.  (Side note: see the desk on the right side....Well I kinda used the desk chair as my access point to get on the desk and splore.  Yep I made myself right at home at Casa Douglas)

Douglas and I keeping watch in the kitchen and listening for the rattle of the true chew bag.


Through out the day Douglas and I both took power naps to ensure we had enough energy for more rounds of chase.






After a while I raided the toy box and found a fun pink toy.  I played tug tug wif momm and she made it run.  It had a great squeaker!


All too soon the day was winding down.  The moment I hit the car I was snoozin!


We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to Douglas, Cindy and Donnie for inviting us over! 


We had a fabulous time!  I can't wait for another play date!


Smooches,
