Plaza Art Fair and Three Dog Bakery

.

Yesterday was busy--we went to the Kansas City. First, we stopped by the City Market. I couldn't go in so Popo and I sat on a bench and and we did a little people watching. Then it was off the the Plaza Art Fair. If you were a dog (like me), this was definitely the place to be and be seen. The art, music and food were pretty good, too. I got to stop by the Three Dog Bakery--now this place was created just for me! Later we stopped by Watkins Mill State Park. It was about closing time so we'll have to go back another day.

I tried out my new peanut butter chew stick from the Three Dog Bakery--I don't usually chew on things, but I ate half of the stick before supper. I don't know why they call them chew sticks.

Cookie Monster

OK, I did it. I got into the cookies. I went looking for my travel bag with treats in the back of the car and stumbled upon the box of cookies. The lid came off so easily, I just couldn’t help myself.
I feel bad now—everyone was watching me from the restaurant window, talking about what a good dog I am, so well behaved, not like other dogs—always getting into trouble. I was patiently sitting on the console waiting for them to finish lunch. They didn’t know what I’d just done.
I guess the overturned box and crumbs all over the floor were the tip off I’d been up to something. Now they call me the cookie monster.
At least I didn’t get sick. I know I shouldn't eat junk. If I eat junk I don't get my good treats. What if I get fat and won't fit into my new coat? Will I ever learn?

Squirrel Chaser


I may be ten years old, but when I spot a squirrel I’ve got the speed of a young pup! If only I could climb a tree—I’ve tried running up the slanted trunk and jumping straight up to reach the limbs—so far nothing has worked. TW can climb a tree, maybe he'll give me some tips. Twice I’ve been close enough to make this crafty squirrel squeal—I'll catch him!

Locust Creek Covered Bridge



Saturday we went on a roadtrip to see the Locust Creek Covered Bridge. It was built in 1868 and is one of only four remaining covered bridges in Missouri. We had to walk a 1/4 of a mile back to the bridge--I pulled Nanny along so she could keep up. The creek was diverted years ago so now the bridge is just sits over a patch of grass :)





After we looked the bridge over we had a picnic at Pershing State Park. I love picnics!



Picnic In the Park

Cats??

Tiddly Wink slaps me on the butt every time I walk by—I really don’t get cats.

Wonder what “the boys” are up to today. I’ve swept the floors. Now we’re getting ready to go mow—I try to help out when I can.

Yesterday was the big family reunion—who knew I had so many cousins. There were some good head scratchers in this bunch! 


It was the perfect day for a picnic. On our walk around the park I spotted a squirrel—tried to make a break for it, but Auntie held on tight.
It was a good day except for that big black dog. He was ten times bigger than me and not on a leash! I tried not to look scared but I was shaking all over. Auntie grabbed me up and then I got out a growl and he took off.


At the end of the day I was exhausted—slept all the way home.
Note to the boys: Picnics are a great place to find tasty morsels of food just lying on the ground. It’s better than sweeping the kitchen floor for crumbs!
