Hellooooooo!

Boy, mom goes on vacation and my cyber-friends are left in the lurch. And did I get to go with her? Nooooooooo. She left me behind - can you believe it? She figured I'd be just fine and even happy spending a week at Central Bark, but just to be sure she had them give me an awesome bone every other day.

Okay, so she was right. I had plenty of snooze time, the full doggy day care schedule (playing twice a day, with swimming pools, and different dogs every day), plus visits in the evening by different doggy day care pals. They know me very well, so nobody was upset when I didn't chase tennis balls or play tug or rough-house with the rowdy pups. When I was hot I got into one of the pools. When I was tired, I snoozed. Life was good, but I really missed mom. And my yard. And our walks. And all of my park and walk friends. And the good scratches mom and my friends give me. I'm really glad to be home....with mom.

They got me!

How'd they do this? I dodge cameras very well, but the other day at doggy daycare I came around one of the playground buildings, and SNAP, they got me! I know mom was VERY excited, cuz I'm never in the action videos Central Bark takes, and only rarely in the background of pictures of some other mugging pooch. What can I say? I like doggy day care, but I'm not your average plays-well-with-others pup. You want play? Get a lab.

Doggy Day Care RULES!!!

My mom sings this song once in a while "Sometimes you gotta go where everybody knows your name..." and today I got it! It's doggy day care! (Mom says it's really Central Bark, but I couldn't say.) I always know it's doggy day care day because mom puts on my yellow collar instead of my harness. (And she cheats and hits the snooze alarm a few more times so we don't go for a walk.)

ANYWAY ... we walk in, and no matter how many other dogs or people are around, more than one person calls out "Hi Moxie!" They LOVE me there! So much that I don't have to go into a crate to 'calm down' before I go out to the playground. Sue (the alpha of doggy day care) always says I get to go to the playground right away!

So I had a great day while mom went to work. And get this - mom even took me for a walk tonite! She usually poops out on doggy day care day, but I guess she really wanted to be out and about. We went all the way to the park, where people were playing basketball, softball, and the BEST part was the two boys who wanted to meet me! Mom gave them treats to give me, so I did a few tricks for them. Mostly they wanted to ask questions about me and pet me. Works for me! I do love the attention I get at the park.

*sigh* I sure wish more of my real life friends would sign up here on my blog. It's no fun barking if no one pays any attention.
