Happy Birthday Teenager!

Good morning and happy birthday!


Birthday greetings from near and far...

It's great to be 13!

Lucky 13

Birthday greetings for my person and everyone who celebrates their birthday in April!

They Call It Puppy Love

He's a Cutie

My person went to a doggie training session for people only but there were doggies there who were not in my training class. In particular, one named Jack, a 10 week old yellow labbie who I was told (many times) is a real cutie. Judge for yourself.

Family Ties

Dundee is his name and winning is his game...!

That's me to the left and my sister Fie to the right

Dundee, Fie and Me

A few of the doggies in my training class are related. Fie is my sister and Dundee, Fie and I have the same mother, whose name is Wonder. Dundee is only 15 months old and has already won many awards for best puppy! Fie and I are still working at it...

Winging It

You don't really expect me to touch that thing, do you?

A dummy before its make-over.

A dummy with wings...

And a dummy dressed like a bunny!

Brilliant Disguise

I learned at my recent doggie training class that in the retrieving doggie world, it's not about playing the game, it's about finding the game. Doggies like me are supposed to help their person/hunter by sniffing out the birds, ducks, bunnies and hares that the hunter has killed - and bring them back to the hunter's hand in one piece.

Readers please remember that I am just a young doggie - barely two years old - and a new-beginner in the Beginner Retriever Course. And, up until a few days ago, the only birdies I had ever paid any attention to were the magpies in my backyard. But at doggie training, instead of retrieving a dummy I was supposed to bring back a dead duck. It was the wierdest thing I'd ever poked my nose in - those feathers and everything - no way, no how.

But my trainers are very clever - they have devised a way to dress the dummy like a bird - with wings and everything. That way I can get used to these feathered friends gradually. I even have a big furry dummy that's dressed like a bunny. What will they think of next?

Happy Easter

In search of the Easter Bunny...


Did someone say Easter Bunny?


Easter bunny eggs but no Easter bunny...


Here's another Easter bunny egg. I wonder what's inside...


Doggie treats but no Easter Bunny...


Gotcha!
