Flexi-bility

This morning, my Flexi leash broke.  For all of you humans out there, mama describes the breaking as such: When your doggie pulls the Flexi to it’s maximum and you hear a sickening crack that is NOT coming from inside of your hand but from the large black plastic thing in your hand – that’s…

Squirrel Patrol

Ah, a break in the clouds, no rain for a little while.  Midday walkie time! Ah, pretty leaves.  So many colors. They’re EVERYWHERE.  Soft on my tootsies. But wait… what’s that? Perhaps with your human eyes, you cannot see him.  But I could feel his presence, see him, smell him.  A squirrel is in this…

Going Aireborne

Hey, it’s Monday and mama is home – what’s up with that?  Oh… it appears that her schedule at work has changed, so now she will be off on Sundays and Mondays.  Works for me… where are we going? We always try to walk around different neighborhoods.  Today we took a swing through the Belmont…

I Had a Dream…

Early this morning.  I was trying to enter a Wal-mart-type store with a large black cat – and I was in a wheelchair.  This cat was Onyx, an all-black cat, one of the dearest animals I’ve ever had the pleasure of being owned by. (Onyx passed away a few years ago.  I keep Onyx’s ashes…

Local Flora

Sometimes mama gets an idea.  It usually involves me posing with something that has caught her eye.  Today it was these red bushes. Do you want me over here?  No? Ah, I’m supposed to come around this way?  No? How about if I just walk through them?  Sort of interesting and ok? Well then, how…

Farm-aire-s Market

Today we had a mission.  Mama had to go to the Hollywood Farmers Market to take some photos of a cooking demonstration, and as you can imagine there is no way she could do this alone… First we must fortify ourselves (after a considerable walk) with a chocolate croissant.  I get croissant, mama gets the…

No P-ing?

I saw this sign during my lunchtime walkie and had to investigate.  How can they legislate such a thing?  What dog in his or her right mind would obey such something as silly as a sign saying that there will be no P on this block?  Marking my territory is my birthright! Notice how I…

What a Week it Was

Mama has had a tough week.  She has definitely felt that the universe was kicking her repeatedly in the butt.   I of course try my best to make her happy and smile – most days it works like a charm – but this week was a challenge, even for this Dale. Walking around somewhat aimlessly…
