The Recycle Bag Attacks

I went to check the recycle bag to see if perhaps there was a coffee cup for me and the thing attacked me....

It grabbed my head and would not let go!

I had to really struggle to finally get it off

Living Ruff in Silver Spring

I went to a great pet store today in Silver Spring called Living Ruff. AGPR had an adoption event in downtown Silver Spring and I went to see some of my friends that are looking for forever homes. Carol and the staff at Living Ruff were great and fed me treats and even sat on the floor with me and gave me lots of love and attention. It was a good day for the rescue with lots of people meeting my friends and filling out applications to adopt.

Kiss Your Feet

AP here:
CM has a little game she plays with Tonka called "Kiss your Feet". When Tonka is lying on his side she will kneel beside him and ask to kiss his feet. In true "Tonka Time" fashion it takes him a minute to register the request and then he will hold up his foot for her to kiss.

This escalates to him batting up towards her and he usually ends up hugging her.

This then becomes belly up for a belly rub and or a belly brushing with a slicker brush.

He is such a silly boy.

Reston Town Center Pet Fiesta

AP took me to the Pet Fiesta today and it was HOT but we at least had a breeze blowing.

We were there today to raise awareness for AGPR and see if there was a lucky human for my friend Maggie who is a really sweet dog. Maggie was there with Gina.

Nancy and Art worked really hard to get everything together for our booth and they had some really cool goodie bags and MILK BONES (I love milk bones). All the kids wanted to feed me milk bones and I was happy to keep eating them.

Andy was there and he is really happy at his new home. He and I were the spokesdogs for adoption today and were getting lots of love from the people and kids walking by. AP and I walked around collecting donations and since it was crowded and windy I had to wear my sunglasses which always gets people talking and asking questions. I must have had my picture taken 30 times. The best part is always getting petted and talked to by the kids -I LOVE KIDS!

I was getting really hot so we went into the pet friendly Apple store and AP played with the iPad while I spread out on the floor to get cool. They were very nice to let all the dogs come in today and the guy at the door was really cool.

Later in the afternoon Andy and I were napping at the booth he had been there since 10:00am so it was a really long day for him.

I was sound asleep but you couldn't tell because of my sunglasses. I have some other pictures coming and will post them as they come in.

Spring and My Favorite Things

Next to Chicken Strips and Belly Rubs spring brings my favorite thing in the whole world - Kids! In the spring they all come out to play games and sports. They ride bikes and scooters and are just everywhere. I love kids- they are so much fun. I have 3 that live on my street that run to meet me when they see me and they laugh and pet me while I try to give them all big kisses. They also ring the doorbell when I am in the foyer sleeping to wake me up and then I get to go outside and play with them. Last night AP and I were walking through Nala's neighborhood and a group of kids were playing a game and one little girl saw me and yelled- TIME-OUT TO PET THE BIG WHITE DOG! They had to stop the game while she came over to pet me. I love kids!

6 Weeks

Today was my 6 week checkup since they fixed my eye. I had to get up early to get my walk in since my appointment was in the morning. When we got there I got to say hi to everyone and they put some stain in my eyes and Dr.Weigt looked in them with a couple different instruments. I don't like the one with the bright light in my right eye much. She said my zombie eye is looking good and my good eye is clearing up. I still have to keep putting medication in my good eye and probably always will but that is OK.

AP had a bunch of questions about my zombie eye and Dr.Weigt is such the expert and made her feel much better about everything plus she gave me a Pup peroni so I love her! I still have a stitch that has not dissolved but she is not concerned about it and she said I can go back to playing and doing my normal Tonka activities.
