I took my master to the dock last night and showed him all the sailboats.  I knew that he would enjoy watching the sailboat race, because he loves boats.  I know a lot of things about my master because he is my best friend.  He knows all about what I like, too, like swimming and chasing rabbits.  I especially love sticks, though!  Molly is another one of my good friends.  We go on walks together sometimes and today, on our walk, I found the most wonderful stick!  I brought it all the way home and left it outside of the gate, just in case I need it later!

This week we had a very small pet guest!  His name was Cyrus and he only weighed 9 pounds!  One of my masters thought at first that he was a Chihuahua, but he was actually a Miniature Pinscher.  Molly told me that she knows somebody who used to have a Miniature Pinscher that knew a very special trick.  Whenever anybody would ask if he was a Chihuahua his owner would ask him, "Are you a Chihuahua, or would you rather be dead," and he played dead!  I thought that that was a pretty cool trick, so I thought that I would practice doing it myself!  I guess that I would rather be dead!

 

 

It's summer, and that means that every Friday there is a sailboat race here in West Sound Bay.  My master loves sailboats.  He has one and wants me to go out on it with him, but I am not so sure.  At first I love the idea and am excited to get out on the water, but then I start to get a little bit nervous!  I love swimming, but being on a boat is a bit scarier!  I do enjoy watching the sailboats go by from my home, the Blue Heron, though!  Maybe someday I will be a sailboat dog, but I think for now I will stay on the land!

Whale Watching

It's getting to be a great time of the year to go whale watching!  A lot of our guests like to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities to go out on the water and see these magnificent creatures.  They sometimes also see seals and bald eagles!  Personally, I think that I would be a little scared to see a whale, but I think that it would be fun to jump out into the water to chase the birds!  It is a fun outing to spend time with your loved ones and meet some new people, too!

Here are the whale watching websites.  Check them out if you think that you would like to go out on a tour!
