Jumping Fences

Murphy  jumping over a fence

Stanley jumping over a fence

Last night me and Murphy went walking with the BIG DOGS.  When we came to the fence line, the big guys jumped over the fence.  Me and Murphy thought to each other, "We can do that."  So we tried and made it on our first attempt.  It was too late to submit for the Olympics, but we are happy that we made it on our first try.  We started on the short fence, but next week we will try the higher fence until we can jump alongside the big guys.

Ready!

OK, we're all ready now . . . thanks to Oskar for the cool looking neckerchief!  We have all the entries for the Marathon Chewing event that will be held on August 3rd.  We're pretty excited about it!

Answers & Deadline Looms!

I don't have much time today.  Mom pulled a groin muscle and it is hard for her to walk so I need to help her.  I sort of feel guilty because it was something I did that made her pull the muscle.  I won't go into any details as to what happened but suffice it to say that it did mark the end of an 11 day No-Accident streak (and mom learned that when she runs 13 miles in the morning, in the afternoon she cannot suddenly sprint around a corner and down the hallway without a muscular consequence).  But enough about that.  I just wanted to answer a couple questions that a few of you have asked and I tossed in a few unrelated pics so you have something to look at while I'm talking . . . 

I like how I blend into the couch.  Sometimes Dad can't even see me!

Some people want to know if me and Stanley are done with school.  Actually, we are going to take the next class but it doesn't start until September.

Stanley likes it when I bite his ears, see he is giggling!

Also, we're not sure why Marley wasn't in the last class.  No one mentioned it and the teacher didn't say anything either.  But since she has been a bit rowdy it was probably best for me that she wasn't.  She taught me a lot about crazy girl pups!

I like how this picture makes Stanley's front legs look so long.

The other thing I wanted to do was remind everybody that ALL Olympic events will close their registrations at midnight tonight!!!!  So if you have not entered, you MUST do it quickly.  The Olympic Committee has said that there will be no exceptions to this rule so PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get your registrations in to the respective hosts (list on sidebar).

Stanley is demonstrating our favorite position for sleeping.  

I have to go now.  Mom needs me to run the vacuum for her.  We already helped her mop the floor last night.  Me and Stanley try to help out with chores.

Hike to the Cross

We went camping over the week end and on Saturday we hiked to the cross on top of a peak across the road from camp.

 Me and Murphy are impatiently waiting for the group to start the hike.

 I wanted to make sure no one got lost.

We stopped for a break and to drink some water.

Almost there.

Finally we made it to the cross.  It was a lotta fun going on the hike.

Stanley

P.S.  If you haven't sent in your Blogville Olympic Event entries, be sure to do it before midnight, July 18, when ALL events close!!

Back From Camp!

Camping was so much fun!  We hiked, played in the water, met new friends, got dirty, ate cow poop, ate horse poop, and picked up a part of something mom called "road kill".  I saw 173 chipmunks and squirrels and a whole bunch of birds too! It was the best!

When we were in the trailer I kept up a watch for birds and chipmunks.

This is my friend Stitch.  He is one cool dude!

I was coaching the ball game from the sidelines.  I was hoping they would ask me to help chase the ball but they didn't.

Me and Stanley played in Chalk Creek.

We did a lot of exploring.

Dad and Stanley lost us and had to sniff us out.  Luckily Stan has a big nose and found us.

That is our trailer.

The camera didn't catch it but Stanley's face was really dirty.  It was great!

It was nice to relax in the trailer.

Stanley helped me yell at those dang chipmunks.

There were 2 people baptized in the creek.  I used the photo where their face didn't show for their privacy.

Stitch

Boy George, he was nice too.

Sometimes I had to rest on the couch in the trailer.

Me, Stan and Dad

See, I told you Stitch was cool!  He's smart too.

The scenery was great.

It's hard to see but there is a cross on the top of this ridge.  We hiked to it.

Lots of peeps and dogs went on the hike.

The camp seen from our trailer.

Boy George and his sister.  There is another foster brother called Stan Lee and another one whose name I do not remember.

This is my friend "M".  She was so nice to me and petted me all the time!

Me investigating . . . 

Our hike to the cross.

View from cross.

Taking a break.

We made it!

Camping was just as much fun as I hoped. We got so dirty that we smelled really bad! Mom said all that poop we were eating probably contributed to our stink. She didn't want us to eat poop, we just did it. The bad part was that when we got home we had to take a bath so we could go to church in the evening. We heard Goose's mom preach about Seeing Beautiful. I See Beautiful all the time and keep pointing it out to mom because she keeps missing it. I hope everybody Sees Beautiful today!
