Winter's almost over

Maybe I'll get to go to Kohler-Andrae State Park soon. It's been a long time. Sometimes, I think we are driving there, but we are just going to Walmart or Wendy's. Darn it. I miss walking on the beach.

Last night it snowed a little bit. The sidewalks and driveways were all clear of snow and I was even getting some grass back, but now all I see is snow. Mom says we only got about an inch, though, so it probably won't last too long. Mom says she is ready for flowers. Do I tell her it's only February?

I"m ready for spring. That's enough with the snow for now. I do like rolling in it, though, and getting my snout all full of snow. Mom always laughs at me. Also, I'd like the snow to melt around the mugho pine, because I know that rabbits hide under there and it's fun to flush them out. They run so fast to the neighbor's yard. I don't usually chase them, though.

Maybe with warmer weather, someone will get me to the park. I needs me a park fix. Bad.

Walk at Kohler Andrae State Park

We went to the beach yesterday, at Kohler-Andrae State Parkdf, where we've been taking Jasmine, since the fireworks trauma, of the beginning of the month! It's her fireworks-free zone and she has really appreciated that! We've enjoyed lots of sunset light, since we usually go in the evening. This time, we wanted to shake things up a bit, so we went around 11am, yesterday. The sun is sure a lot brighter! LOL! Jasmine loved wading in the water and rolling in the sand. We even met up with another family that had an Australian cattle dog, named Tina. They even recognized Jasmine, from a picture on Google Images, of a previous visit to the park!

On the boardwalk, over the sand dunes, there was so much grass. It was like being on a prarie. You'd never know we were so close to the beach. Jasmine appears to be enjoying this, also. She was standing there, just sniffing the breeze. Doesn't she look happy?


This was Jasmine, after our walk. For some odd reason, my car wouldn't start, and we had to wait for Gary to come. We really should bring our cellphones along, but we'd forgotten. When Gary got there, my car fired right up. Go figure.

We were sitting in the shade with Jasmine. She was panting so hard, but it did ease up a little, as she cooled off.

Our little princess, goes crazy, when we prepare to go to the park. She knows that the Flexi leash is the special "park" leash. I like it, because it gives her more freedom, than a regular leash. She ends up getting twice the walk, since she walks out to the end and then comes back again. I'm so glad we have such a special place, so close to our house! It's definitely worth the price of the park stickers!

Healing nicely

My little owie is all healed up now and the fur is growing back nicely. You would have to look closely now, to see that I'd had anything done. I should have mom take an update picture. The other night I got to take a walk at Kohler Andrae State Park. That was so fun. Although, I didn't get to go in the water. Mom said there were yellow signs around, so she didn't think the water was safe. Once I tried to pull mommy down by the water, though. Otherwise, there were too many other smells to attract my attention, especially poop that other people chose not to pick up. Mom sure didn't like that. She brought along a plastic bag to pick up mine!

The Beach

I got to go to my favorite place last night, Kohler Andrae State Park. I love walking on the beach and Sarah always takes really cute pictures of me! There are always many different smells to inspect, too. From the amount of footprints on the beach, it looked like it had been a busy day for humans and pets, alike!

Here's what it looks like, when I first get to the park. Just let me get to the water and don't get in my way! LOL!

Mom was glad that I didn't roll in anything stinky last night, since she just gave me a bath on Tuesday, July 10th! She said my face was stinky. I thought I was just being a dog! I was a good dog, too, because I hopped into the tub, without having to be bribed with a treat!
