A dog day afternoon...

Hi everyone, Elliot here, I'm Tim's K9 Companion during the day, we spend a lot of time together so I thought I'd tell you about the wonderful day we had yesterday.  First Tim got me a new walking harness and a 25 foot leash and we went to the park to try it out.  Tim looked at a couple of female humans and growled quietly to himself while I got to bark my ass off at a pit bull.  I told the pit bull his mother pulled dog sleds and then it was fight time.  Tim doesn't really let me fight, but he's ok with me barking and kicking grass in their faces.  Sometimes I pee on the grass, THEN I kick it in their faces.  

After the park, we went to the car wash.  That was a strange place.  Logan, Tim's Grandson says they have "dancing snakes" there that wash your car.  And they do!  I barked at them but they didn't seem to even notice me.  Then we went to another park with lots of bums.  Tim has taken me there before but when we left he seemed mad.  He said something about "freaking bums" and how if people wouldn't feed them they would go somewhere else.  But today we went back and he found what he had been looking for.  He called it a GeoCache and this time we were able to retrieve it, sign the logbook and went back to the car as happy as he is when one of the redheaded female humans smiles at him.

Then we went home and hung a new bird feeder in the backyard.  I really like to chase squirrels and every now and then I catch one too.  They don't really taste that good, but they are fun to chase.  After that, we went to what must be some sort of religious place with a God that goes by the name of "Coffee".  Funny name for a God.  Anyway, you probably didn't know that Tim is a deeply religious follower of Coffee, but he is, and he goes there frequently.  He get's his worship cup, bows repeatedly to it and then slowly brings it to his lips, sips, and then says "God, that is good"!  You humans are complicated.  Glad I'm a dog, all we want to do is eat, sleep and screw.  What a life eh?

After our Coffee moment, we picked up Tim's daughter and he forced her to go hunt down another GeoCache with us.  She whined like a Chihuahua at first, but after Tim let her try her hand at finding it, she started to enjoy it a little bit I think.  It didn't take us long to find it (Tim's really good at finding those weird little things), and off we went again.  We dropped Caitlin off at her place and she said she was going to go walking with us but she didn't.  I think she went to sleep.  But she might really just have been afraid of the pitbulls, maybe the redheads, I don't really know which.  But Tim isn't afraid of either, so we walked around the block a few times.  I smelled everything, pee'd on everything AND I pooped on a dandelion.  I'm a bad, bad doggy sometimes.  And I may be little, but I run with the BIG DOGS, just like Tim!

Anyway, that was about the day for us.  I really like my new harness and leash,  and Tim is a really cool guy.  Maybe if you play your cards right, he'll walk you and let you tag along and enjoy one of his adventurous days too.  If you'll excuse me now, I think I'll go lie in the corner and lick my butt.
