Now *that* is much better than what I’m doing now … sitting at a desk … squinting at the bright screens of my laptop and tower pc … cooped up with people that are all high strung cuz of the holidays.
Man … I’d just rather be out in the yard throwing a stick for Toby.
Look at him – living in the now, loving EVERY second, YES I HAS DE STICK, running full out … giving all he’s got … and just bursting to the proverbial gills with utter joy and happiness.
THAT is life. THAT is living – or it’s what it *should* be.
Right now he’s curled up under my desk, paws twitching, little yips whispered every so often as he prances, dances, leaps, runs and doges whoever he is playing with in his dreams.
Giving it all he’s got I’ll bet too.
That’s my boy.
I promise you one thing … as soon as I can get my fat butt out of here, I’m going to go home and throw a stick or toy for my Tobster, you betchas!

Well, got a flat while doing some errands – and don’t get paid until Monday … so we do not get to go hang out at the dog show and cheer folks on this weekend. 
Which is a total bummer, we were looking forward to just getting out and experiencing a show without having to drag out all the heavy junk like the crate, the canopy, etc etc. wasa going to be nice to hang out at the show and just bring our seats and a couple of things to drink.
So just hanging out. It IS horribly hot though. Hope it is cooler at the show!
Did show Toby his pool – he took it all in stride, lol. However the real highlight is that his ball was delivered from no man’s land, and THAT he was super jazzed about.
We got a bunch of pictures, which I should have up on his Flickr soon.
Sat 18 Jul 2009
So popping around the net … wasting time as I sip on my morning coffee and blink the sleep from my eyes (woke up at the horridly late time of 10:15 am lol) and thinking of some new designs for our Zazzle shop. Fun fun!
We bought Toby a new pool last night – since we decided to NOT show him this weekend due to his spraining his paw last Sunday – we figured we’d do something nice for him. We would have taken him to the lake … so he could get his first experience with a LARGE body of water (we really want him to have it be a POSITIVE and GOOD experience, as we think he will ADORE dock jumping) but that seemed as dumb as showing him considering he just had a bad sprain.
Outside of his old kiddie pool, he’s not really had much experience with bodies of water really. His breeder has a pool, and she says every litter always has every puppy fall in lol, but Toby was the one that didn’t. Smart boy LOL. Anyway, I think he’d do best with his first adult swimming lesson if it isn’t a sharp drop off on the edges (like a pool) with only one easy way out (the stairs in the pool), but rather a slope, something that eases into the water gradually, like a lake or river.
Well the rivers around HERE – are cold vicious little killers with hidden and fast undertow currents – many adults, kids, and dogs die in our rivers every year … so yeah … it’s not going to be a river. So it will be the lake. But not this weekend. So anyway we’ve been meaning to replace his old pool that finally died the good death this year – but hadn’t had the money when we could find the pools and when we found the pools we either didn;’t have money or if we had the money and found a pool it wasn’t the right kind (the ones with a slide built in) or the right size (PetCo and PetSmart were selling some TINY pools this year what gives with that? lol).
But last night, driving to WalMart, I made the usual drive by past the garden area, looking to see if maybe finally they had some pools and they DID!! And for only TEN bucks too! WOOOO HOOOO!
And we also replaced his lost beloved soccerball! We gave him that last night – and man – he just LIT up. He kept checking on it to make sure it was still outside ALL NIGHT LONG. Gave me the giggles. Such an earnest boy! we’d have given him the pool too, but it was already dark and that really is a daytime toy lol.
So later this afternoon we will surprise him lol – put it out and fill it up and then let him play. Should have the camera too as I bet he will be so cute!
Fun fun!
Oh and while I was puttering about the net this morning, came across this video … and was complewtely charmed by it and thought I would share! Enjoy

I have started a group at gratefulness.org for us to light candles and speak out against BSL while remembering those dogs and families that have felt the direct effects.
The group initials are NoBSL.
I’ve also grabbed a customized URL from tinyurl for this group to make it easy to tweet or pass along to others:
http://tinyurl.com/NoBSL-Vigil
Please feel free to pass this to ANY dog lover and keep the vigil alive until BSL is no longer a gthreat to our beloved and gentle dogs.
