We Tried Going to the Beach Again

JK and Mr. Wolf and I walked down to the beach again today. It was a really nice night, and I was excited to walk towards the park, because there is always lots of tasty food on the ground.

We sat on a bench between the grass (which I like) and the sand (which I don't like).

A nice night to look at the lake. From the bench.

Mr. Wolf is silly and likes to pretend to eat my ear.

Even though I thought we were having a perfectly lovely time sitting on the bench, JK and Mr. Wolf wanted to go closer to the lake part of the beach. 

At the end of the sand, there is a lot of water.

I do not like water. Anywhere, any time. I especially do not like water coming near me, like when the lake jumps closer and closer, or when people have water spraying around on their grass and I'm not sure if it is going to hit me.

Um. That is too close.

I like many things about our neighborhood, but I do not like the big lake. Don't they know that the lake is wet? And that you will get wet when you touch it?

This way to go home! Follow me!

After JK took her pictures, we turned to go. I was very happy to head home.

Recovering.

Even though I had so much fun on Auggiversary, it turns out that all that excitement, tasty food, warm sunshine and treats were too much for me. I had the Bad Shakes yesterday when Mr. Wolf was at home, only this time I got very sick and had to go to the vet.

I do not like to go to the vet, and I was scared. But JK and Mr. Wolf were with me and that made me feel a little better. Mr. Wolf said that I was "dehydrated" and they had to help get more water into me. I didn't like getting the extra water because they had to put it in with a needle, but I did feel much better after I got it.

We all went home to rest last night after the vet. She gave me some special food to help me feel better, and some other medicine too.

Recuperating on JK's lap.

Today I feel much better, and JK and I had a nice long walk this morning before she left for work. I felt like my old self again. And ready for some more treats and sunshine.

My Happy Auggiversary!

Today JK and Mr. Wolf and I celebrated my one year Auggiversary! I came home to live with JK and Mr. Wolf one year ago today! It has been a great year.

They threw me a little party, and we did other fun things today to celebrate.

This morning, JK hung this banner in the apartment and Mr. Wolf came to hold me up so we could get an Auggiversary picture.

JK also surprised me with a small cake made out of round slices of cheese! I got to eat it all myself! It even had a festive flag on top.

Cheese! My favorite thing! How did they know?

 The Cheese Cake was so delicious. And so was the lickable writing on the plate!

After I had eaten my plate of cheese and licked my name off the platter, JK and Mr. Wolf gave me my Auggiversary present - a brand new bed! With a big soft neck rest all the way around it! They even gave me a matching sheet so I can burrow. I went right away to get Pig and Lion so they could try it out with me.

My soft friends like the new bed very much!

And I decided to try it out while JK and Mr. Wolf got their other bags together to set off for our Auggiversary adventure.

Now I can rest my head all the time! Joy.

 We got in the car and drove to another house where some friends of JK and Mr. Wolf live. They have a big back yard, with a garden and flowers. They also have two small people who live in their house and like to chase after me. But I liked them, so we played together in the yard.

It was hot out, and I ran a lot.

Today was a great Auggiversary! JK and Mr. Wolf love me a lot.

Tasty Summer Fruit

JK and Mr. Wolf shared some pup-friendly fruits with me this weekend! The fruit was so delicious, JK couldn't even take pictures fast enough to get a picture of the fruit itself. It was already in my mouth by the time the picture clicked.

Strawberries! Yum!



Cool, crispy apples! My favorite!

I have to chomp big chomps to eat apple chunks, so I always look funny when I eat it. JK and Mr. Wolf think that this is hilarious, but I don't mind that they laugh at me as long as they give me MORE apples to eat! Oh, I love them so. (My people AND my apples).

Foods: Strawberries and apples
Rating: 4 out of 5 Cheesy Treats
Highlights: Crunchy, sweet, healthy, and delicious
Problems: No cheese with the fruit

A busy day in the country

Everyone at our house woke up pretty early this morning, even though it was Saturday, and usually we do not get up early on Saturdays. I was not very happy when the alarm went off. I didn't know what we were going to do today.

JK always says "Auggie is in the right family". She said it again when I wanted to stay in bed this morning.

Then after a lot of busy packing and talking, we set off in the car. I like car rides. I like them even better when I can see where we are going.

Me on Mr. Wolf's lap.

When we got out of the car, we were at a very big house where lots of people were moving big boxes from one place to another. JK was afraid that I might get stepped on, so she put me in the Pup Bag.

I was pretty comfy to ride around most of the day.

Jackie was there too, and sometimes she took a turn carrying me in the Pup Bag. I was glad to see her. There were lots of strangers there, so it was nice to see a familiar face.

I also found out that the Dog In Charge at the country house is named Angus, and he lived at this house for a long time before it became an empty house with no one living in it.

Now he lives with a new family, and they brought him with them when they came to help move the boxes. It was a very long day, and when there were fewer people and fewer piles on the floor, JK let me run around and explore. I even got a real Hot Dog! Cooked on a grill! Oh, that was very delicious. JK's brother made it for me, and I ate it very happily.  I am ready for a long nap now, but I can see why they are sad to leave the country house behind. It is very beautiful there.

Food: Hot Dog cooked on the grill

Highlights: warm tasty meat! what's not to like?
Problems: A little difficult to chew, and I really wanted to try it with the bread part like everyone else was eating it.

Out of Food

JK and Mr. Wolf ran out of dog food this week. This is how I look when I heard:

Boo. No AugFood.

Even though I was sad about running out of dog food, it turned out to be a surprise bonus - JK cooked for me! Yay! My own bowl of baked potato and cheese!

Hooray for running out of dog food!

So everything turned out OK. JK went out the next night and bought me some new food. Do you think I could convince her to melt cheese over all my food from now on?

Food: Baked Potato with Cheese sprinkles
Rating: 4 out of 5 Cheesy Treats
Highlights: Warm potato-y goodness with little bits of The Good Cheese melted on top
Problems: Even though I like the taste of the brown part of the potato, it can be hard for me to chew. Mr. Wolf had to cut it up for me so I wouldn't have to gnaw on it.
