K9 Musings

From Kenzi’s perspective –

Today we went an adventure. I wanted to go off and do my own thing (chase squirrels, roll in poop) but the person said I had to stay near her. She didn’t want me to get muddy. Sigh. Doesn’t she understand that it’s a dog thing to get good and muddy? I was a bit upset that it was so warm. When there’s snow on the ground she doesn’t worry about me getting muddy….

We stopped by the river first. It was high and fast. I knew better than to go in so I stood on the bank and watched.

But Kolt? He’s not as wise as I am. He wanted to go swimming! He stood on the bank and asked. The person said no. He wasn’t too happy about that.

So you know what he did? He ran to the other side of the hill and waded right in – without asking that time!!  He was just asking to get in trouble.

But I was good. I followed the rules and stayed out of the water.

The person told Kolt to get out of the water and we ventured on. I kept a lookout for squirrels even though I couldn’t chase them.

Kolt stopped to sniff stuff. Boys want to sniff EVERYTHING.

We continued on through the field. I kept checking in with the person to make sure that she was around to keep Kolt in line.

We saw squirrels – but didn’t chase them! (because, well, the person was watching…)

I found a tree to explore. I’m pretty sure that LOTS of squirrels live in that tree.

Kolt found a rock to stand on. He’s SUCH a showoff!

Kolt found more water. He jumped right in. Without asking. Again. That was kinda crazy since there was still ICE in the water.

But the person said we could play in this water.

So I went and got a drink.

Kolt kept looking for something.

And he found a ball!!!

But did he share that ball with me? No! He tried to keep it all to himself. He though he was big stuff since his legs are longer and he can run faster.

I was VERY frustrated and told the person. She wasn’t any help so I took matters into my own paws.

I kept watch and was finally able to snag the ball.  Yup. Busted mister. His legs might be longer. But those legs are nothing compared to my look.

Sadly, that was right before the person was ready to go back inside. So she took the ball and made us pose together. We humored her today and sat nicely for a picture. We thought that just maybe she’d give the ball back to us then. But alas, it didn’t happen.

Next time I’m hoping to sneak off quick for my own adventure before she tells us that we need to stick together.

Then I will play in the mud. And chase squirrels!!
