Wiggle Your Ears

I'm sorry I still don't feel so good but here is a video of my newest friend for your enjoyment. Farmor found him when she got her hair cut this weekend and brought it home just for me. He put a smile on my face so maybe his antics will lighten up your day too...... Little "G"

A Different Week

As you may have noticed this is my first post of the week. I have been busy helping Farmor and Farfar who are helping Oma after her operation. The operation went well and she is now at home resting comfortably.
We visited her every day and brought food and entertainment to brighten her day. I brought by Like-a-Bike to show her how proficient I have come at riding it. I discovered that Oma has a neat exercise bike that I got to try out.
Yes Bogey was there too and it is funny how he runs and jumps up on the bed when I come racing through the house. I guess self preservation runs strongly through the veins of Sheltie Dogs. I also got to go on my walks and the rain we encountered was refreshing. A real change from the warm dry weather of the previous week. Here is a picture video featuring some of the events from the week........ Little "G"

Another Slide Show

The weather is warm and spring like a wonderful day to go for a nice long walk. We explore the trails around the Sequoias and Windy Hill Open Space. I try out new exercise equipment and climb up and down hills. There was plenty of old tree stumps to play on along the Windy Hill Trail. I have pictures of course enjoy....... Little "G"

Yesterday

Here are some pictures from yesterdays adventure...... Little "G"

What a Day

More fun and adventure for Little "G". It started with backyard high jinks with me and the dogs. I rode them down with my trike and Like-a-Bike. Yes I love the chase and so do the dogs first I chase them and then they chase me its almost like in those old silent movies.
I then proceeded to wear Farmor and Farfar out on our walk. We where headed for the soccer field today and I had lots of stops to run and play along the way. First at Indian Crossing where the dogs and I played in the grass and I climbed up and over fallen trees. Then on Alpine Trail and over at the tennis club. More exploring with bridges to cross and leaves to be thrown off the bridge and into the water.
The horses were next and to our surprise their owners were there with their two dogs. I fed the dogs cookies and the horse carrots. You see there are three horse that live there and two were being saddled to go for a ride. So only the one lucky horse got all my carrots. She is very gentle with soft lips that grasp the carrots oh so gently.
I haven't forgotten we where headed for the soccer field next only to find that the gate was locked. I played in the parking lot and then headed down the trail that goes around the soccer field. What did I find? A unlocked gate to the rear of the field right next to the big orange tractor. I just had to go in and give it a try. What fun climbing and exploring the tractor.
Then it was off to home with one more stop to play on Nathhorst before eating lunch. You see it really was "What a Day".... Little "G"

Inside Play

Here are two pictures one taken by Farfar of me and one taken of me by Farfar. I'm getting better at getting the subject completely into the picture. I have a disadvantage because it seems I'm always shooting up while Farfar is shooting down.
Right now I make a better model but I will continue to work on my photographic skills.... Little "G"

Getting Better

Farmor said that it seems like I'm finally feeling better. Now you ask how would she be able to tell? Well it seems Farmor is good at reading my body language. She noted that today was the first day that I was ready to go. I hit the door running I haven't looked back since.
I was ready for our walk and hardly could wait to get out the door. Speaking of our walk well we are doing things a little different. We start like before but I'm out of the stroller as soon as we hit the trails. I get to do more exploring checking out dead trees and climbing all over them.
Today I got to climb up this hill to where a horse was out enjoying the sun. I scrambled up the hill with Farmor in hot pursuit while Farfar took care of the dogs. I beat her to the horse who was really happy to see me. You see I had my bag of carrots with me and the horse could hardly wait until I offered her one. She was so gentle as she took the carrots from my hand as my normal procedure I had to taste test each carrot before offering them to her.
Well I also got to feed Crystal and Snowball the miniature horse that live just up the trail. As we continued on the trail we ran into Dolly a Schnauzer dog who had a dog cookie and a carrot with us. Then it was off to Skittles to check on her and for me to see if she still had those big pumpkins on the porch. She did and that made me happy as I don't see many these days.
Home for lunch even thou I didn't eat much today I was full from all the carrots I sampled on our walk. Of course I did have a little room for some ice cream. I'm off to take a nap or so Farmor hopes she has her fingers crossed, but I'm not sure I will be accommodating her... Little "G"

First Picture

Yes today I took my first picture with Farfars camera. How do you like it? I know that my composition is of a very strange object but I must admit it is a interesting view. Farmor said that I had caught Farfar in his very best dress and really loved that lovely view of his socks.
Here is a video for your amusement......... Little "G"

More

More water, more food, more everything. The theme of the day is more! I wonder what is happening for the second day in a row I'm eating like there is no tomorrow . Hamburger, noodles, banana and salami I can't seem to get enough all washed down with a big glass of water. Farmor laughs because I keep going to the refrigerator and saying more - more.
Oh yes I can't forget my new favorite treat the Eskimo Pie ice cream mini bars....... Little "G"

New Year Changes

Well as you might notice there are a few cosmetic changes to my blog. The colors and general look of the blog are the same. The changes are in the side bar which allows you to follow Farfars posts on his blogs. Also the subscription option has changed to allow you to follow all my posts and comments from visitors automatically. If you subscribed to my old feed please update to the new one of your choice.
I have eliminated some links and the Flickr Photo view as I will be posting all my pictures to SmugMug from now on. I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year in 2009..... Little "G"
