Pool party

My buddy jib and I had a fun lunch walk followed by a little pool party.

We've heard the pool was a happening scene this summer but not we moved in.

Jib decided to change that today.

Let the pool parties continue until the pool is closed. Ill host but don't get any thoughts about me swimming.

B-tches: come on by anytime and hang out w us guys!

A Little Short In The Rear

My blog post yesterdaymade me think back to when I was groomed at a place that rhymes with Metsmart.    On this particular Fall 2010 day, Edward Scissorhands was my groomer.  My owner instructed Edward to do the usual and just trim up around my "sanitary".  She learned this term from another one of my groomers.  Edward took the liberty to fully manscape me.  Yup fellas I was manscaped. No more feathers.  Edward trimmed my rear up pretty close and didn't leave any hair "you know where".  (See reference to my manhood in my first post.)

Let's just say my family and friends were shocked every time I rolled over.  It took months for it to grow back.  

Doggie Car Wash

Post bath en route home

In an effort to stay cute and cuddly, a Berners got to MANEtain.  I enjoy my salon visits for a nice bath, tooth brushing, little trim and of course the blowout.  I usually hit of the fancy salons like Paw Palace in Red Bank but yesterday my owner decided to take me to the Brielle Dog  Boutique to get the "stink out of me" if you will.

This place is pretty cool.  You owner gets to give you the bath with all the fixings of a doggie salon. I usually like to flirt with my stylists but I am a momma's boy so having her around was a-okay.

So I walk in and am immediately taken to the bathing area.    I take one look at the tub and I put on the brakes.  I have this little maneuver where no one can move me when I anchor down like a ton of bricks.  After a few minutes my owner takes me out and pulls a fast one on me. She quickly rushes me in through the other door and into the fancier tub on the floor.  I didnt have enough time to think about where I was going.

Since I was outsmarted, I decide just enjoy my bath.  The water was nice and warm and I was treated to the more expensive shampoo.  The salon has all the extras like good shampoo and some freebies like ear wipes, tear wipes, towels and more.   From there - it was time for a blowout.  This was a little more expensive but my owner knows I love the blowdryer.

My owner brought my furminator so she attempted to brush while drying.  Imagine my surprise when my hair was everywhere!  Little did she know that she's supposed to furminate before not after a bath.  Duh!

Everyone was super nice there! I'd definitely go back.

My Puppy Pic

So as you all already know I was adopted when I was 2 years old.  At 2, I was the same full grown adorable dog that I am now.  Unfortunately, my owners dont know how cute I was as a puppy.

My Pops decided to search to see if they were any pictures of me online.  He's convinced that this is my puppy pic down to narrow blaze and my "cindy crawford" marking on my nose.

Is it my pic?  I'll never tell.

I "dig" beach days

Today was another beautiful day on the beach in Manasquan.

I'm lucky to have nice owners who set up an umbrella for me so I watch people go by on the path.

Before laying down, I like to dig to find the cool sand.  My style is a bit different from most dogs. This is how it's done.

I like beach naps

Today is the day I've been waiting for! After a summer with my owners working on weekends and a kinda crappy September, today is the first day to just lay out on the beach.

Dogs aren't allowed yet on the beach but im fortunate to be renting a place on the beach. My afternoon activity has included hunting for shady spots and taking naps.

I highly recommend beach naps with waves crashing in the background. I don't however recommend sand in my little jowls. Back to sleep.

My Summer Buddies

I've been recently told that I haven't blogged in awhile.  I have no concept of time so I dont know if its been 5 minutes, days or months since I last posted.

I promised my summer buddies Tor, Missy, Alexa  and Ashley that I'd update my blog more frequently.  Thanks girls for keeping me on my paws. I'll do my best to keep up my blog with all my important activities.

Let's talk summer today...

My owners spend their summers in Ocean City, NJ.  My grandparents sold their place down there so we rented a dog friendly one.  I was told that there was a limited # of places available that would accept me but we found the best place ever!

My summer buddies lived downstairs from our place.  They were soooo nice to all of us.  I visited them about 5 times a day.  I'd run downstairs and b-line right to their porch to see what they were up to.  Usually Tor and Alexa would say "Hi Tubz" in unison.  I knew I was always welcome.

My summer buddies always had a treat for me. Sometimes they'd even buy a pound of cheese for my visits. I visited ALOT.

My summer buddies took me for lots of walks. They also knew that I was a big scare-d-cat.  If there was thunder and my owner wasnt home, they'd come upstairs and snuggle until the storm passed.

My summer buddies also have the cutest pets: Kai and Chester.

Kai, cute male yellow lab, visited for part of the summer.  He was so nice.  We'd just sit on the porch and watch the vacationers walk by.  He returned home mid summer to hang out with his grandmom. I was a bit sad but then I realized that I was the only dog to get all the attention and cheese!  

Chester, a hampster, is like the coolest pet I've ever seen.  He runs around his cage, hides out in the pipe in the cage and runs around in a wheel.  I could watch him for hours.  I still haven't decided if I want to snuggle him or make him an appetizer.  I've been telling my owners to get one... Maybe for Christmas.

How did I get so lucky? I miss you guys!
