The sweet smell of Vacation!!

Did I say my life couldn't get any better??? Well I was wrong! Remember I went away to camp while my foster family went on vacation? Guess what?! This time I got to go on vacation too... we went to the beach! I saw my first sunrise - yep we still get up really early for our walks... some things never change.

It smells very different here and there is hardly any grass! Everyone has rocks in their yard - it feels so weird to walk on, but I'm already getting used to it. Who really cares because there is the softest playground ever! There's loud crashing water that startled me at first and there are lots of flying birds. Once I saw the birds, nothing else mattered. I think I like the bay better and I don't know what boats are, but they look like they'd be fun too.

One thing I know for sure is I LOVE vacation!

My Visit to Aqua Dog

I've got a very active life here with rescue. So active that all my posts aren't even showing! Make sure if you want to see what I've been update to here in rescue, you visit my Older Posts too!!

My foster mom and some of the other volunteers thought a visit to Aqua Dog, sort of like a gym for dogs, would help me to strengthen the muscles in my rear legs. I personally thought I looked rather lean, but I guess the "buff" look is in these days. I had an examine and my foster mom learned about some at home exercises and special walks we can do to help, and then I got to go into "the tank". I had no idea what "the tank" was, but boy did I enjoy myself. Walking in a bath of really warm water with a very nice lady who gave me tons of encouragement and a treat here and there.... I don't know if my life can get any better!!!

A few more visits and help and encouragement from my foster mom and I'm going to be one hot stud!

My Vacation

Camp has been fun and I even have visitors. I've met more people from the group that saved me and the people that work here really love me and give me extra special attention.

One of my visitors comes regularly and she does some "training" with me. Wait until my foster mom gets a load of me and finds out all she needs to do to keep up with what I've been learning. We are working on all kinds of things - sit (which I'm a master at), down, leave it, take it, stay, wait and off. We try these commands in different places around camp just to be sure I remember I'm supposed to know how to do them anytime I'm asked no matter where we are.

My foster mom, dad and doggie brother and sister came for a visit one day with the trainer to make sure everyone was on the same page. Then after we worked really hard, they took me for a walk. We found this pen of pigeons - my foster mom doesn't want me to say I have great hunting potential, but boy did I find it interesting. My foster brother saw it first, but I quickly found what he was staring at - they smelled really good! Who knows.... maybe I'll be a hunter too! Hey - just because I'm 9 doesn't mean I can't learn new stuff!
