A Real Green Dog

Hello every dog! Sorry I haven't been able to update or visit your blogs much for the last few days. We've been having internet troubles, but it's all fixed now!

Before I get on to the green dog story, I'll just tell you a little about the fun I had at the park the other day...

My humans threw my ball for me over and over again, so I had a blast chasing after it! You can tell how much I enjoyed running by the smile on my face, hee hee.

Once I get the ball, I come running back so my humans can throw it for me again.

The best way to cool off after playing a game of ball is to jump in the pond. Once I'm up to my belly in the water, all I have to do is open my mouth so the water will pour in. That way I don't have to do the work to lap up the water!

Now look at this goose I found at the pond... He is one weird goose! He thinks he's a dog, see? He's scratching himself just like us dogs do!

I decided to get a little closer to him... You know, just in case he is a dog, I just want to say hello, right? But this was the scary part... I realized he wasn't a dog, but he was a CAT! He hissed at me! And let me tell ya, that goose/dog/cat has a very scary hiss! I decided if he's gonna be that grumpy, I'd better leave him alone.

Meanwhile, Keda just sunbathed. She came to the park too, but she's wasn't allowed off the leash. She tends to get a little, um... what's the word...? "Vicious" is what the mailman says. She doesn't really like men and big dogs for some reason.

After I finished drinking up the pond, I hopped out and was ready for another game of ball!


Now, let me tell you what happened yesterday...

Keda and I were both in the backyard while my human Lizzy was experimenting with her camera, taking pictures of flowers. While she did that, Keda and I hopped into the garden and trampled all the beautiful plants as we grazed like cows. Mmmm, yummy flowers. My human Lizzy continued taking pictures of different flowers while we grazed.

Eventually, I noticed Keda wasn't grazing beside me anymore. I didn't think much of it at the time, I just thought she strolled into the next garden to start devouring the plants there, too. So I continued grazing in my own garden...

But then! There was this smell! Oh, it was a heavenly, glorious smell! Where was it? What did it come from? Man, let me tell ya, I have never smelled anything so good in my life!

My human Lizzy stopped fiddling with her camera, her nose scrunched up, and said, "Ooooh, what is that AWFUL smell?!"

Okay, so we dogs and humans think quite differently, but I think that smell was wonderful. Anyway, we both searched for that awful/wonderful smell, and then I saw it! In the corner of the yard, a very green head poked out of a pile of, well... I'm not sure if you want to know what the pile consisted of, but I'll tell you... It was grass, mold, and poop. And right away when I saw the green head poke out of the grass, mold, and poop, I knew it was Keda! Man, did she ever know where the best perfume was to roll in!

Right away Lizzy called her out, and she came trotting over looking very pleased with herself. She was a green dog. And she smelled wonderful. I don't think she could have had a prouder moment.

Though Lizzy was just about ready to put a clothes pin on her nose, she decided she might as well take some pictures to show Keda's humans when they come back.

Don't you think she looks lovely? The green flower pinned in her hair really matches her new green fur.

Unfortunately, this led to...

...this. Keda was not very happy.

Oh well. At least she got to be green for a few minutes! I don't think she thinks it was worth it now, though. She had the longest bath ever. Poor girl.
