Flat Brutus At The Rodie-Odie-O!!







Can you believe that Mommy took Flat Brutus to the Kootenai River Rodeo and left US at home?! Oh well, he told us all about it when they got home. He got to ride with the beautiful Rodeo Queen. And when it was almost over our mama roped 2 cowpokes into holding him!! (She didn't really rope them!) Don't they look excited to be holding him? BOL!! We get to have Flat Brutus for a few more days so our daddy can meet him too. Maybe we'll get some shots of him in Coeur d'Alene,Idaho and Spokane, Washington too.

Ciao for now,

Baby Rocket Dog & Hootie

PS-Thank you friends for your concern about Hootie being stung by those 8 nasty bees. He was a canine statue after it first happened...really strange...apparently he was in shock. The Benadryl helped, as he was his normal, bouncy self the next day and we canceled his vet appt.

Sunday morning FUN!

A morning road trip! I am always wagging my tail when I get to jump into the Sammiemobile...ya know what I mean :)
Fingers of fog kept us cool as we headed south to somewhere super fantastic!
It's a good time when mom brings the ball! And....she's got our name tag on... We were at a SF Bay Golden Retrievers Meetup Event! Our first time, and so much fun!
Ready? Throw the ball please!
My first meet up pal.....Buddy! Actually, mom met him first, as this 18mo cuttie pal gave her a nice slobber!
Buddy liked my ball too, so we ran for it!
Come on pal!
Sammie!!?? Where are you? " I'm here...just helping my peeps, I'll come play in a minute :)"
Some of the goldens we met.
If I couldn't find my ball...I would check in with Buddy, below...giving the ball a bath and drinky.
Lots of smiling faces :)
And, my waggy tongue...it was a HOT day!
We were all gathered at the Seal Point Dog Park in San Mateo County. This parkie has a lot of space to run!!
Gathering under the shade area. Got my eyes on you mom.
Sammie soon joined in with her kong...she's in the middle...NOT with the kong..
And, yea...this time it was ME with Sammie's kong. I'm sorry super pal, you have the bestest of toys!!! Sammie' in the back there, with a wink wink to her pa, his arm out to snag back HER kong!
As you know I like water...any size dish will do! And, must share :)
Let me help you with that!
Here's the group. We met a lot of nice goldens and hoomans!
Guess who made her appearance :) Miss A puppy! She wasn't allowed to come in, for good reason, but gosh does she steal the show and bring big smiles! Such a cooperative little pal on this golden adventure. You'll get to play soon enough sweet Avalon! Picture time! Everyone stand still and look at the camera. Ok...that didn't last long... Below, Sammie and I are back under the shade! What a nice time! Thank you Ashley for organizing! We hope to do more with the meet up group. ...As we meandered our way home, we made a stop in the town of Pacifica..
Although it was a beautiful day, we didn't venture down to visit these crashing waves...
In fact, my face below shows what I thought of not getting to go to the beach! Barky face in the window! (btw - the car was still going with air on, and Sammie's dad hanging with us in the back seat)
Our mom's got out for a quick view check and photo op!
At this point, we were all pretty tuckered out..ready to head home!
Hope you had a nice weekend. See you again soon pals!

The Good Ole Summer Time


Growing the garden in tubs this year....One good thing no weeding!


Hot and Humid with a lil' bit of welcome clouds.

Sloan's chiggers aka chickens are growing!










Hello Mom and Dad can I stay the night with MoMo????

Went with Jenn and a friend yesterday to see Toy Story 3....my kind of movie! Think I might have to see if Sloan will set through it this week and go see it again.


After church this morning we went up to the big town as Sloan calls it and went to his favorite store Toys R Us....He does enjoy getting a piggy back ride from his PaPa! Ahh the days of being a Toys R Us kid!

Happy Trails....Ginger

Flat Brutus Has Arrived ~ Yippee!!

Flat Brutus was so sleepy when he arrived in farr N. Idaho.
It stays light here until so late that Mama had to make Brutus a sleep mask.
He then made himself comfortable on one of Baby's beds!
Baby Rocket Dog was a bit suspicious of Flat Brutus after he took over her bed.



I, Hootie, let Flat Brutus lay down next to me. We have become great friends!
These are some photos of Flat Brutus at The Taste of Sandpoint Festival
Here is Flat Brutus at Maps & More in Sandpoint.
Flat Brutus went to visit the Litehouse Blue Cheese Factory
& look what Miss Bonnie recommended he try!!
BWhahahaha!


Here is Mommy with Flat Brutus next to an Emergency Snow Route sign...
AND below it they are selling Hawaiian shirts!!

We are so excited to have Flat Brutus visiting us from Ohio. Mommy said he must accompany her where ever she goes for the next week. We sure hope we get to go with him too. To get to 3D Brutus's bloggie just click on the World Tour photo on our sidebar. His mommy, Michelle, is donating to French Bulldog Rescue for each stop Flat Brutus makes. More info later.
Lots of Welshie Love,
Hootie
