The Vacation Chronicles Part 1

Hi Friends, Mom has lots of pictures of our summer adventures, so she is going to break them up over a couple of days. Our human cousin from Kansas came to visit in early June and then we took her home when we went to watch some boat races. While she was here, we started our vacation time. We went to confluence park in Denver to float in the rapids. They are a Class 5 sport course that is built for the kyakers to play in. They are fun to ride down in a tube also. I mostly liked staying on the grass, but did put my paws in once in a while. Next time a view of our dash up into the mountains for FIB Ark and a couple of nights camping!!! Until Next Time,

A fun place to play in downtown denver This is the view from the top of the course....it looks tame huh! This is were they control the flow of the course, they were letting lots of water out

A little family of geese swimming all around the rapids

I am going to work on my tan, go ahead and tube without me.

This was a Thursday afternoon but lots of people on the river

Mom won't make me go on a ride, will she dad?

Here is where mom made me get in the water to cool off. Thank goodness there

was not a tube involved.

There were lots of doggies and a couple of small ones that I could play with

Here I am guarding my dad...he might be falling asleep

My human sister and our Kansas cousin heading up to the rapids

My cousin is smiling...what is wrong with her...she just came blasting down the rapids.

There was lots of swimming and splashing around...

Personally, I like doing this the best.

Here is a little video of the rapids!

Mom let her camera get a little wonky at the end.

Still on Vacation....

Hi friends,
We are all still on vacation...lots of fun adventure to share with everyone when we get back sometime next week. I went Swimming for the first time and I must tell you, I don't know what all you water dogs see in it at all. We have been camping, boat racing, and visiting relatives in Kansas, and Oklahoma. Mom will have lots of pictures and stories of me and all my fur relatives big and small.
Until next time

Chalk Art and Festival

Hi all my friends,
Last weekend we went downtown to have fun and see all the sidewalk art. It is an annual thing that artists do. On Saturday and Sunday they draw all kinds of things on the STREET and make pretty pictures. It is a lot of hard work and the art is very temporary...Mom and Dad just can't get over how beautiful some of the pictures are. There was a peoples fair going on the same day so we took the shuttle bus to the other side of town and browsed some of the booths. I got a new tag shaped like a bone with my name on it. Mom has to put it on my tag ring though. It was a hot day, and on the way there, I got to walk in the river with my mom and she also made sure I had lots of water to drink. It was hard work herding my humans all around the town, so I went right to sleep when we got back to the car after our adventure.
Until Next Time,
Draco

Healthy as a Horse (Almost)

Hi friends,

My VET visit went pretty good. I got a new picture on my record because I am a dog now and not a puppy. All the nurses just goo and gah all over me. I weigh almost 8 pounds but the doctor
said I was just right for my bones. He was very happy with everything about me except maybe my pesky knees...I have that chihuahua thing "luxating patella" that is why I now stand and ask to be picked up to the chair, when I used to just leap up. Doctor said I was not being stubborn like my mom thought, just wise, because I knew it might hurt. They are not so bad that I need surgery though (as long as the mom keeps me exercised and trim). My teefs and gums are excellent, cause of my raw food diet I am sure. I did have to have a blood test for those heart worm things but mom always gives me the pill so I was negative, and a rabies shot...I need a distemper shot and rattlesnake vaccine but the doctor is letting me get them a week apart. I was brave and didn't even whimper when I got the needles. I am glad that day is over. Until next time,

Draco

V.E.T.

Hi furiends, Today I heard my mom telling dad that I have to go to the vet and get a wellness check...she also said something about SHOTS....dad told her that I really don't worry about shots and that she was projecting her fear on me. Dad, I don't like shots, just for the record. We will find out how much I weigh and how my teefs are doing. I am sure that vet will say I am in super good condition. Until next time,
Draco

Are you sure I need to go to that place mom?

Rodeo

Hi friends,


More days in the sunshine. It has been windy here but we have still been able to get outside and play. Sunday, we went to a kind of rodeo. Mostly the cowboys were chasing cows...they had to do it really fast. I don't think the cows liked it very much. I know they didn't like me. Mom said this was not a big rodeo, with bucking broncos and such but it was still fun. I am a good boy and did not bark at the cows. Go out and have adventures my friends. Until next time

Mom liked this bridle.

It is good to have a human to hold you up so you can see.
This horse had fancy leg protectors to save him from the cows stepping on

him

These two guys turned around and stared at me

don't they know I am descended from WOLF'S

Thats right boys, keep on moving!

Hey you, turn around and get going, don't make me come in there.
