I've got em trained


I've got dad totally trained...

now, he knows exactly where to pick me up, it works out like a charm.

Before we even leave mom and dad have my extra water, and food loaded up into the truck and we're off.

I start the run with mom, and 1.5 miles down the road, dad has the truck and my water waiting for me.

Then I ride for a bit, eat some of my food with dad while mom scoots down the road on her new bike... couple more miles down the road, we all re-connect, then a little more run for me, mom and dad switch driving and riding, dad goes down the single track WAY to fast for me, so I ride down the rest of the mountain with mom. By the time we get to the bottom dad is already there. Then we're off to our next destination, which I hope entails more FOOOOOOOD.

wow, that was a big day


Yesterday, mom got a new bike, so she was ALL KINDS OF EXCITED to go ride.


me, I just run behind.







after about 8-10 miles of running, I decided it was time to lay in the back of the truck and take a nap while mom and dad went riding off into the hills.


man, i'm getting in shape for sure.

more new places to see


I'm loving it,

as long as mom and dad remember to pack along extra food, water, and my water bowl.


I work up a thirst runnin after them all day...at least mom and dad are nice enough to tag team up on our excursions. Sometimes I run with Mom down the road, and after I get tired, dad picks me up in the truck and I get to rest, and re hydrate.

Yesterday, I fell out of the window,
I was so embarassed.

Dad was going really slow over a bumpy area up in the mountain, and wham, I just fell out, I was distracted by a chipmunk, swear...

there is so much going on outside, I can hardly stand being cooped up in the truck, So, I've decided to start riding in the back, with the bikes when we're cruising on mountain roads. Hopefully mom and dad are cool with it.

as long as I don't jump out and go running after things when the truck is moving is what they tell me, well, they just have to stop more often so I can chase things.... common, work with me here people...


Mom and dad dig however get me my own special doggie back pack.

yup, I think they are getting us all in shape for something big, I'm digging it. I can't wait to be able to carry my own stuff.

plus my bag looks really good on me,
i'll post a pic sooner or latter

ok, gotta go
woof.

a ride, and a run all in one day....

Ahhh, I'm pampered.

Dad let me run along side of Mom for miles and miles, until I got tired..











he was following mom and I behind and when I started to slow down, he would pick me up, give me some water and let me catch my breath.



















purdy soon, we'd catch back up to Mom, dad would let me jump out and run for a couple of more miles...



after 13 miles or so, on and off, I probably ran 8-9 of it, i'm poooped.

time for dinner and a nap


wooof.

cvo took me down 007, 6 miles of downhill.

ohhh my goodness, I made it, but man, am I worn out, he got to ride his bike downhill 6 miles, I had to run..

out and about on a saturday afternoon

first, we drove to town and back

that got me the reward of 3 hotdogs...
sweet.

I didn't realize dad was giving me those hot dogs so i'd have the energy to run all afternoon.







I saw him loading up his bike, so I jumped in the truck and we were off....


we stopped way up on this dirt road, and then up, and up, and up, we went.








the trail was sweet, and there were all kinds of animals to chase, squirrels, deer, bunnies, you name it.












good thing dad was paying attention, otherwise we would have gotten lost on the way down, we were flying, and I was having a hard time keeping up with the old man. I'm gonna need some more miles in these legs to get them up to par.







plus I want a doggie sleeping bag, and backpack for my birthday for the pack trips we're gonna do next season...

it doesn't look like it, but i'm working


making sure nobody is dumb enough to mess with the truck when mom and dad are away

wana see me bite something? stick your hand in the window and you can see what it's like to play the piano with 9 fingers fool.








and here, i'm making sure the step doesn't move, and watching for bears.

it's gonna be a ruff day

we sleep in a yurt, in a cabin


Mom is away, and while mom is away, dad lets me get away with everything...

last night he even let me sleep beside him and watch the new terminator movie in bed.


although i would much rather have watched lasie or something with dogs in it. common...
