Happy Halloween!

Auntie’s been working on my Halloween costume. It all started when we saw all these cute Halloween costumes for dogs on the Martha Stewart Show. I particularly liked the one that looked like a dinosaur so Auntie picked up the supplies at Wal-Mart and we went to work. Now I’m a purple dinosaur, too.

Trick or treat?? I hope I get lots of Halloween treats! Who said Halloween was just for kids?

The Importance of Exercise

I know you boys get lots of exercise—after all, you’re young pups. But now is the time to learn good habits for the future. I try to get in some exercise every day beginning with my morning stretches. I’m very good with basic yoga moves, too; I especially like the downward dog and cat stretch! Along with walking and jogging, I find that jumps and rolls are a fun way to get some aerobic activity.

Katy Trail and Union Covered Bridge

I wish I could drive! I like lying around the house, but road trips are fun, too. The other day we headed for the Katy Trail. We had lunch in Rocheport at the Trail Café then Auntie rented a bike and was off down the trail. The bike didn’t have a basket so I had to stay behind. When she got back we took a walk so I could see the big wide Missouri River. It was a little scary looking over the edge of the trail and seeing the river below and then I saw a big turtle sitting on a sandbar. Even with all the distractions I did a pretty good job of staying out of the way of the bikers. The Katy Trail was a pretty cool place for a walk.

After we all got loaded in the car, we were off to see another covered bridge. After a quick stop in Columbia for ice cream we were back on the road. The Union Covered Bridge, a little north of Columbia, was built in 1871 and provided a way for people to cross Union Creek. I was almost afraid to walk across the bridge—you could see the water when you looked down between the old boards.

It was a long day so I curled up in the back seat and slept all the way home.

Pumpkin Patch Picnic

It was a pefect fall day for a picnic.  There were all kinds of activities going on--a fishing contest, hay rides to the pumpkin patch, a weiner roast and train rides.
My favorite activity was waiting for people to come by and scratch my head!
