Bonnie, the Yellow Lab


I got a nice message from a new friend – Bonnie. She left a comment (below) about Mailman Ken.

She is only five and a half months old but is already going to school. She is in training to become a Guide Dog for a blind person. What a great thing to do.

Good for you Bonnie.

I see that she likes to lay in the snow like I do. She made a nice snow bed in this picture she sent. Looks cozy!

Keep us posted on how school goes and have fun in the snow.
Your new friend, Hogan

Mailman Ken


Woof

I know, I know.

I’m not supposed to like the mailman. I’m supposed to bark at him and try to bite him.

But I’ve known Mailman Ken since my humans brought me home and he’s a very nice human.

He talks to me and pets me and even gives me a treat sometime. What’s not to like?

But don’t get me started on those squirrels. Grrrr.

PS So far I've heard from Chestnut, Roxie, Hub, Luke and a secret admirer. This blogging is fun! Woof!

Snip Snip - What were my people thinking?



One of my good friends had to get an operation last week. I had the same operation when I was younger – it’s something that male dogs get. Ouch!

But when I had my operation, I had to wear a funny collar for a couple days. I looked really stupid and the squirrels were laughing at me when I was in the yard. My friend didn’t have to wear the collar – he sure was lucky.

I don’t know what my humans were thinking. If they asked me nicely not to bite at my incision I am sure I would have listened. But no, they had to out that ridiculous collar on me.

It’s bad enough I was snipped. Oh well, they did give me a nice soup bone when I felt better.





I love the snow!!!

Woof!


We have about 5” of new snow. Yippee! My boy took me out this morning and we had lots of fun in it. I tried to tell him that I wanted to stay out longer but he didn’t understand (he’s not always the brightest, you know). But the time we did have in the snow was a blast!

I hope I can visit my friends Roger or Hub and Luke to play in their fenced-in yards today. If not, maybe the boy will take me to the doggie park when he gets back from wherever he goes every day.

I better rest up now so I will be ready to go.
