Proud To Be An American

...by way of Canada, that is! Being a melting pot nation is one of the many things that make this country great.


Did you know that only a handful of dog breeds can claim to be all-American, among them:















the Boston Terrier


















the Alaskan Malamute

and the Chesapeake Bay Retriever?

My human's parents are visiting us for the holiday weekend and her mom made me some new bandanas.

Here is my patriotic one in honor of today.

Today, we're having lots of friends over for a cookout around the pool. Swimming and eating, possibly my two most favorite things in the world! Hope your holiday plans include something fun, too!

Happy Independence Day, everyone!

Dog Vs. Bandana

The Family has decided that I'm sufficiently beyond the puppy phase to try to clothe me. I'm a little too big to be sportin' any of those fabulous outfits that my pal Lorenza has (and she has a gazillion of them!). But I can definitely do bandanas. Or so they think. Hah! Silly humans!

Step One: Bite corner of the offending garment.

Step Two: Proceed to fall on the ground.

Step Three: Paw at the darn thing. Hands with opposable thumbs would be very useful right now.

Step Four: If all else fails, thrash about like a Tasmanian Devil. Extra points for rolling on your human's foot.

Fight's over. Bandana won. Actually, I got distracted by lots of yummy treats and forgot the thing was there.

Tomorrow's another day! I'll get it off yet.
