"Summer loving.....had me a blast.....summer lovin' happened so faaaaassssst! I met a pup....crazy for me! Met a pup...almost as cute as me!"
Last month, we had gone to Port Jefferson to visit our friend Jaret, who owns Enchanted Indigo. Grandmom had met up with us because we had some car trouble, and we wound up lunching at this great restaurant called TOMMY'S PLACE. There is a courtyard, and as long as you behave yourself; kids of the 4-legged kind are allowed to eat with their families! Isn't that great? I was actually treated like royalty. Our waitress brought me my own glass of ice water, and a roll...on a real plate and in a real glass!
I also snacked on mommy's foods too. Because, you know....how can you say 'no' to a face like mine? I had also drank so much water, that before we left, I accidentally did a wee on the stone floor. But hey, I'm sure that courtyard has seen much worse. The family has promised to take me back there. :o)
This dog, in the photo to the right is someone I met yesterday at the Hounds On The Sound walk. He is a Weimaraner, and I forget what his name is. As you can see, he was trying to get to know me at an accelerated rate, but I gave him a good sniff too. Him and his parents were very nice, and walked in our group as well. The walk was 3km which is the same as 1.8 miles. It was very hot, and thankfully mommy thought to bring my bowl and a bottle of water as we walked. Although we rested, they did not have water stations set up a long the way, and a lot of the parents of pets were not too happy. I was able to walk all the way from the start point to the half-way point. But by that point I was real hot, and really tired. Our group rested in the shade a bit, and we all drank water...that some of our folks had brought themselves.
As our group headed for the finish point, my little legs just couldn't carry me. I gave mommy the 'I'm pooped' look, and she carried me back for about 10 minutes. But I don't feel too bad, because there was a pug who was older than me, and HE needed to be carried too! So I didn't wuss out. After a bit, I was able to walk on my own, and made it on my own 4 feet across the finish mark. Grandmom and Aunt Ida were there cheering me on (and mom) on. To cool me down, mommy put me in the community pool (see 1st photo). There was still a lot to do though. The Hounds On The Sound event had foods, for pets as well as humans, vendors for every ones liking, music and contests.
Mommy entered me in the 'Best Dressed' contest, and we should have won, hands and paws down! I had on my sparkly pink tank top, and my denim funky mini-skirt. People even gasped when they saw me on stage. Instead some other dog dressed in a fireman costume won. How unoriginal! OK, maybe I sound like a sore loser...but I was dressed sporty, and summery, and my outfit didn't look contrived.
I do have to admit I had a bit of the stage fright my first time up there. But mom was a real trooper, and stage mom and made sure I got the lime light, AND felt comfortable up there. My second time up I responded much better. Also, note how mom and I were color coordinated? We should have won for that alone! Fixed results we all say! Anyway mommy and I raised $140.00 for Save-A-Pet, and plan to participate next year, and hope to raise MORE money. Thank you to all of those who sponsored us.
Oh! Hi there! You caught me singing. I've been practicing with the Hollywood showtunes station. Cro`i says that Olivia Newton-John has nothing on me. But Pooka just covers his ears with his paws and says he 'goes to his happy place' when I sing. A lot, and I DO mean a lot has been going on since my last real post. Did you all wish my mom a happy birthday? Or do I need to nip you if I see you?
The above photo of me, swimming in my birthday suit was taken on June 8th, at the Hounds On The Sound Walk, to raise funds for Save-A-Pet, of Port Jefferson NY. That's the place mommy got Pooka and Cro`i from so we try to help them out. But I'll get to that later. Port Jefferson is 'my town'...people paws to look at me and pay me compliments. (Get it? Paws? I crack myself up.)

When he does escape, I have been given the task to track his scent, and BRING POOKA HOME. I always get rewards when I bring him in, and he always gets a bubble bath. Grandmom and Aunt Ida don't think he wants to run away from home...but just wants to investigate because I'm allowed in and out. And that's how I've been spending my summer thus far. Next month I get to go on vacation to Salem, MA with mommy and Aunt Ida!
