On Saturday Libby and I got to go play and prance around at Paws at the Park, an annual fundraiser for the shelter where we were both rescued by our humans. It's a really special day for us because we get to see so many other four-leggeds and show off our spunk. Our humans thought that I, Katie, needed to be exercised (really they said, "worn out") before going to the party, so I got to go play in the Dog Park while Libby went on the walk with our daddy. Here's some video of me playing catch with a nice little boy who has a really strong throwing arm, unlike my weak momma who can't throw a ball more than about ten feet.
Here we are with our nice bandannas on riding in the car, so excited to get there.
and me in the Dog Park with that nice boy playing catch
I thought this guy was gonna take my ball, so I ran really fast!
then the boy thought it was time for a drink
but I just wanted the ball!
then we went to the party and met up with daddy and Libby (oh that's my two-legged sister's legs and feet. Doesn't she look great after losing almost 60 pounds?!?! WOOF!!!)
and finally, the two princesses in the carriage with our momma and daddy.
Tonight our humomma emptied a big peanut butter jar (plastic of course) and after Charlie got a taste and left it alone Miss Libby snuck over for a lick. She used her paws really well for holding it down, but it kept sliding away anyway and she soon grew tire of it. Then.....
I, Katie, got it! But you see, I'm a pretty smart cookie and quickly grabbed it by the neck and carried it away to my secret hiding spot on the futon! As RR would say.... YUM-O!!!!
ps. just to prove that Libby and I are friends, here's a picture of us dog-spooning.
You've got to see this funny video taken at the Helping Hands Humane Society where Libby and I came from. They are promoting Paws in the Park which is held as a fund raiser each year. Libby and I get to go!!! It's not until September so we have lots of time to get all prettied up. Ya never know who we might meet when we're there!
If you click on the title link it will take you to my brother's blog and you'll get to watch a really long video of me learning how to herd him. You see, he's blind from cataracts and he can't hear too well either, so my human momma has been trying to teach me how to herd him. This is my first real effort, only my sis Libby kept getting in the way. Seems that Golden Retrievers don't like barking or seeing dogs pushing other dogs along. Hrmmmph!
