I am sad to report that the season of summer is ending. I've had a fairly wonderful, mostly rainy, summer. Now that school has started, we've been getting warm, sunny weather (The seasons are always mixed up in B.C.!). Even with the warm weather though, the leaves on the trees are starting to turn many colors, and the air is feeling a little crisper in the mornings. We got low, thick fog on Thursday morning for the first time in quite a while.
I must say, I actually rather enjoy Fall! The giant maple tree in the front yard, and the two smaller ones in the back, start dropping down wonderful, bright yellow leaf piles at this time of year. I'm looking forward to eating my once-a-year crunchy yellow and orange maple salad (Yes, maple tree leaves do taste wonderful to us dogs, you guys should try 'em!). Speaking of salad, I have some pictures to share of one of my last summer salads... The grass at the pond has been very green this summer (Thanks to all the rain!), and it tasted so good and juicy! These pictures are from just a few days ago, but now the grass is already turning golden-brown.
Mmmm! Can you see my teeth crunching down on this green goodness?
Need to swallow, lick my my lips...
...And then start eating some more! Notice how my eyes close with pleasure as I devour the juicy salad (Along with all the bugs that like to crawl on the grass).
In this shot, I just discovered that Lizzy was taking pictures of me. I gave her a little evil glare, while slowly slurping up a strand of grass.
Any more green goodness down here?
Gotta eat this all up fast, before the Autumn weather takes it away!
Alright, enough pictures of me eating. I feel like a pig when everyone's watching me.
Now, I'd better leave so that my human can get to bed. I need her to get up early tomorrow morning so that she can catch up on everyone's blogs! I hope you all have a grrrrEAT weekend, and remember to eat your greens!

Yay! Sparky is back! I've missed reading about your adventures! As always, those pictures of you were awesome. Thanks for sharing all your salad tips. I might have to go investigate in my own yard to see what goodies lie right outside my doorstep.

Sparky......dude....welcome back! I missed you and Lizzy! Try not to be so tough on your mom because my kids say school is hard! Not only that but strange people want lots of papers from you. I am not sure why they can't just go buy one at the store....it would make their lives easier. Oh well glad to see ya back.
Smooches,

Hi Sparky
When school starts my mom is busy too. Don't worry. That grass looks yummy. I'll have to taste the maple leaves.

I've never tried leaves but I do love a good bunch of grass on occasion. I'll have to try this soon since we do have maple trees in our yard.

Hi Sparky-so glad your back!! My human gets busy too and sometimes isn't around to type for me...so I know how you feel! Don't our moms know how important it is to us that we stay in touch with our blog friends!!!

Sparky! You're back! That's so great! I have missed you.
I never tried eating grass except when I have a tummy ache. Besides, your grass is much greener than mine and looks much yummier. I could go for bugs in a big way, though.

Hi, Sparky...
I missed you...
I love fall, too...I don't eat the leaves, but I rearrange them in the yard...They don't always fall where they should, so I just pick them up & take them where they belong...My Mom thinks it's funny...
Abby xxxooo

Big Sloppy Kisses

So happy to hear from you again, Sparky! Sounds like you might need a new typist soon if Lizzy's too busy to type for you.
Looks like you enjoyed your juicy salad there!

How have you been, Sparky?
I don't know if I like grass, though cats are supposed to. I think it makes me throw up.

I love Fall too - the mud is pawesome! I'm not sure why Mommy gets all bent out of shape?!
I missed you Sparky!! I love the new look of your blog... My mom messed up my blog when she 'renovated' it.. *sheesh*, I think I need to send her to you for some training.
Woofy, Sparky!
Here's a tail wag for a bunch of grass. Really cool. I eat most of the grass in Keeper's garden which makes her blue in the face.
Lesson: Eating Green Makes Somebody Blue!
I'll remind my hoomans to feed me some greens tonite. :)

Meanwhile, I love your new fall layout! I have way more energy in the fall, so I'm usually not too sad to see summer go!
Keep up the blogging--we're still reading!
Hi Sparky! You enjoy those last tastes of summer. :) I am kind of glad it is fall too. I can stay outside and play longer!!
