Tuesdays With Tag - Um...Not Really...

Hi, Everybody! 

This week I'm stayin' behind the scenes. I've been awful busy tryin' to train

this Labrador and I'm a bit of a frousy mess, so I asked Mom not to take my picture.

Anyway...Remember when I wrote about my collar charm? Well, Bella outgrew

her baby collar real fast, so Mom loaned one of my little collars to Bella to use.

The one with my "Good Dog" charm on it!

I guess it was loose enough that she was able to get it in her mouth to chew on it.

I'm a little upset about this unfortunate result.

It didn't seem to bother her one, little bit.

As a matter of fact...She looks downright proud of herself!

(See the empty link on my collar? Mom took the charm off so she didn't make it worse.)

Awwww. She gets me every time she goes into "Corgi Sploot" pose.

All is forgiven, Bella.

I wonder what she'll come up with next!

I'll see you again in seven! 'til then...

Tuesdays With Tag - Bella (No) Flops...

Hi, Everybody!

I'm a little busy with swimmin' lessons this week, so 

I'm gonna talk while I teach if ya don't mind too much.

Bella's doin' pretty good in my pool. She's jumpin' right in and

comin' along on her dog paddles. She doesn't bella belly flop, either!
You'd think she's part duck.

When you're a little dog, the whole pool is the deep end.

She's not afraid to swim the length of the pool at all!

Sometimes I swim out to meet her...

but I like to keep my distance. Once in a while, she wants to ride on my back.

I don't like that at all, so I bark at her. Guess what? She barks right back at me!

I think she's pretty sassy.

Most of the time, she stays away from me now. (I think she got the message.)

You can't see it very well, but in this picture, Bella decided she wanted to fetch
the pool thermometer. It's a floaty shark and it's not easy to catch at all.

I know better than to mess with the pool stuff like that, but she's just a puppy...

and a retriever at that. Fetchin' is in her blood, so she doesn't even understand 

what makes her chase after stuff like this. It's better if I just stay back and watch.

Yay, Bella!

(Her first water retrieve!)

Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I got more lessons to teach Bella. ("Not grabbin' my neck ruff" bein' top of the list!) I'll see if I can get Mom to record one of our swimmin' sessions in the next week so you can see us both in the pool. I'm pretty proud of how fast Bella's pickin' up on my techniques!  

I'll see you again in seven! 'til then...

Tuesdays With Tag - Guess What Day It Is...

Hey, Everybody!!!

Guess what day it is. Do you give up yet?

No. It's not Hump Day!

It's DAD'S Birthday!!!

Was the cake a giveaway?

Just look at it. Won't Dad be surprised?

I really wanna lick it!

I love cake, too.

Do ya think Mom is gonna give me a taste after Dad gets his cake?

(I won't tell, Mom. I promise.)

Mom and I will be busy makin' Dad feel special today. (She decided not to go spend this evenin' with the girls at Paneras.) She's gonna make a special dinner and then we'll eat cake. I'll even get to run around makin' a commotion while she sings "Happy Birthday" to him!

If you wanna leave Birthday wishes for Dad, it's okay. Mom will make sure he sees them, and I won't feel bad if you don't leave a note for me. Today is Dad's day, after all. We'll all be celebratin', so I'll see you next week. 'til then...

Merry Christmas...

Tuesdays With Tag - A Guy's Gotta Eat...

Hi, Everybody!

 Road Trip!!!!

 

Mom's been so busy in the studio that I had to tug on her leg, keel over like I

was dyin' and grab my collar to tell her we needed more dog food. We were

almost out, and you know, a Corgi can't be worryin' about runnin' out of food!

We got in the car and headed over to our new supplier of delicious

dinners and treats. The name of our new store is "Cats n Dogs".

I'm not crazy about the "cats" part, but they sure know how to treat me!

The lady behind the counter was really nice. She gave me two

  treats after I gave her my paw. She was really impressed by

my politeness...and my cute face, and my ears! (I'm not sure

exactly what she meant about that!) I was on my best behavior.

She even gave me a Christmas gift! It's a bag-full of goodies! Now,

let's see...biscuits, a sample of canned dog food, and a bunch more!

I've gotta run, guys! I lookin' forward to tuckin' into my treats. I've

got a real surprise for you next week, and you won't want to miss it!

'til then...
