Horses & Anniversaries

Sneaking up on a horse is quiet business. You must keep your nose down and your mouth closed... 

It helps if you keep your hind legs kind of stiff when you walk. If the horse sees you, he'll know you mean business. 

When you get next to the horse, bark REALLY loudly! 

I personally think this horse is deaf. No one could ignore a ferocious dog like me for very long otherwise! 

In other news, it's been one year since I came to live at my mom's house. It was a year ago today that I was dropped off on her front steps in my kennel. Wow. A lot has changed since then! I can sit, lie down, shake, high five and heel! I don't pee on furniture any more, I'm not scared of kennels or crates, and I don't chew up the house as much as I used to (with the exception of TimTams. Mmm.)

Then! 

Now!

Mom says I am the best early Christmas present she's ever gotten! :) 

On the Road Again!

I am a travelling dog. I like going on adventures. I just do. There's nothing like the feel of a comfy blanket and a window to look out of. 

Today we went to Norway House because my mama's cousin got off the plane there. She was supposed to get off the plane in Cross, but it couldn't land, so we made the drive to pick her up. 

It's been a long time since we've had a cable ferry in Cross. I like cable ferries. They are fun. On the way into Norway House it was just us on the ferry. On the way back there was two regular trucks and one big tanker truck. The tanker truck was WHITE. I am scared of white trucks so I barked at it to scare it off. My mom about jumped through the roof when I barked. It was kind of funny, though I'm glad she didn't drive into the lake. There's a lot of ice in there! 

This is me, sitting in the backseat of the cousin's van. She calls me her nephew. Before my mama had a vehicle she used to show up and take me on rides in her van because I love rides so much. I love her. She's very nice. She also makes me homemade dog cookies for Christmas. Last year Richard tried to eat my banana flavoured cookies, but my mama didn't let him. 

This week we're going to Thompson, but I think I might stay behind so mom can get shopping done. All I can say is that I hope she brings good treats!
