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
Rating: 4 out of 5 cheesy treats
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.

I Like People The Best

I did meet some nice dogs last week at the Red Door walk, but generally I like people better than dogs. This week I had to show my angry teeth and bark at several big dogs who tried to scare me and get too close to me, or to JK, on our walks.

Two different big dogs tried to get me from behind a fence this week, and JK pulled me away from them even though I wanted to show them that I was not afraid. And then today, JK and Mr. Wolf and I were walking in the park near the beach, and this dog who was not attached to any people ran very fast straight for us. I was so angry at her for getting too close to JK and Mr. Wolf, and for trying to run at me and scare me, that I got into a fight with her. Mr. Wolf and the other dog's person yelled angry words at each other, and JK pulled me very hard away from the other dog. JK picked me up away from the other dog and said happy words to me to help me calm down, and we walked away from the dog and her person.

I didn't get hurt, and neither did the other dog. But JK and Mr. Wolf said that the other dog should not have been allowed to run around without her person. It was all very exhausting. I was glad to rest for the rest of the day.

There are some nice dogs out there, but I really prefer people. Especially my people.

Nothing to Report

It has been so long since I posted on the AugBlog!
Well, friends, that's because there has been relatively little to report. It is still cold outside. I still hate wearing the coat. No treats have fallen all over the ground lately, and I haven't destroyed any new toys in a while. There's really nothing to tell.  JK tried to take a funny video of me chomping on a big bite of apple, but for some reason it would not work on the blog.

So, instead, I'll share a photo of JK and Mr. Wolf and JK's family dog, named Angus.

Angus has loved JK a long time.

Angus got to be a guest at JK and Mr. Wolf's wedding. I am jealous that he got to be there for their big party, because I'm sure there was a lot of food to eat! Angus lives with a new family now, because JK and her sister and brother have to sell the family house. But now Angus has a dog best friend named Lindy, and JK says he is enjoying his retirement as an indoor dog after years on the open farm.

I hope I get to meet Angus someday! He looks like a nice dog, even though he is big. JK loves him very much, just like she loves me. I'm glad he has a dog BFF and a nice new home and family.

I don't like Big Dogs.

I was so excited when JK came home today, because she was very happy and that makes me very happy. Mr. Wolf sent JK flowers at the building where she works, and JK loves to look at and smell flowers so she was very happy.  She told me all about it when she came home.

Flowers that Mr. Wolf sent to JK

We were both very happy to go out for a walk today.  I walked fast and JK let me walk where ever I wanted.  We walked a different way today, and JK took me over to a big grassy yard with a high fence around it.  There were lots of big dogs in the yard, and JK and I went into the yard with them.  

This was not a good idea.

The big dogs wanted to meet me and sniff me, and I did not want them to do that.  I tried to stand behind JK's legs so the big dogs could not get to me.  I growled at them, and showed them that I have sharp teeth.  JK helped me walk away from them, but then more and more big dogs came to us.  They were running around, chasing balls and big circles that their people friends were throwing in the air, and sometimes they didn't look where they were going and ran into us.  I really did not like this, because they could have knocked JK down.  I got very angry and barked and growled. 

When they had run away again, I asked JK to pick me up by jumping up and putting my paws on her knees.  She scooped me up and carried me right back out the gate.  That was a big relief.  She put me back down on the ground and that made me very happy.  We walked away from the dog yard and walked around our neighborhood before walking home.  It ended up being a good walk, but I do not want to go back to the dog yard with those big dogs again. 

Me, happy to be home away from the big dogs
