Half Moon Bay Dogventure

My Mom has been hogging the computer. She said she is working on "Texas" which is about a lot of paperwork and giving money away. But, today my Mom is not feeling well so I told her I was gonna write a post about my dogventure!

My dogventure started with a car ride 2 weekend agos. Where we go is always a surprise to me until we get there, but she told me we were going to a place called Half Moon Bay where the weather is always unpredictable, but more often than not it will be
WINDY AND COLD.

Here is our first stop in Half Moon Bay. Mom said the colors of this dog house matched the colors on my ribbon necklace.

Here is where you can see the purple stairs, pink flowers in the flower bed along the window sill (sorry, the pink flowers don't come out too well in the photo), and of course the yellow house. My ribbon necklace has all those colors in it!

We walked all around the town and saw a pretty purple house with a white cat in the yard and ornaments hanging in the trees. Mom wanted to take a photo of it, but there was a lady gardening in the front yard, so she didn't snap a photo of it.

But, we did snap a photo of Sam's Chowder House. I got to eat at the Chowder House. Before our trip, Mom called up the Chowder House to make sure doggie were allowed. We sat in the outdoor area where there is a view. I couldn't see the view from the restaurant because I am too short, but I did see it later.

Here I am at the Chowder House. My dad is about to give me some treats.
Mom! The sun is in my eyes!

Here is the view that I was not able to see. But, my Mom made it up to me by sharing her French Fries that came with her fish-n-chips meal, which by the way, she said the Fish just melted in her mouth... Yum! The fries were really good too because they had some kind of spice on it.

After lunch, we went for a stroll.


You can't see it in this photo, but it sure as heck was windy!!!! I wanted to get back into the car as soon as possible!!!! That was harsh weather! Windy blowing in my face, in my fur. That's not for me. I like the luxuries of being indoors!

And that was my day trip! Not too exciting, but boy oh boy, I sure was dog tired when we got back to my dog house!

Barkday Party!!!!

Whoo hoo! What a fun afternoon we had last Sunday celebrating Casper D Dog's 6th Barkday! There were 6 eskies there and 1 shih tsu (and "visiting" dachsies Copper and Mona). Loki is my hero. He is an eskie and he's got magical powers because he was able to snag a chip from his Mom's hands, then later a chip flew off my Mom's plate and right to Loki. Tortilla chips from heaven! At one point Casper was off leash for a little teenie weenie bit, and then later we saw the Police van coming towards us. We all held our breath, and fortunately the police passed by us. Whew, close call! Ice and Miko were a bit weird though. When we were served barkday cake, Ice and Miko didn't even touch theirs!!! My mom says that 2 of the humans there were brave to tell people who stopped by "Yep, we're celebrating Casper D Dog's barkday. He turned 6, and see, there he is! We all met online and there are a bunch more people like us around...." My Mom said she was a bit embarrassed to talk to people about it.

Here is the Barkday Boy, Casper! He is six years old now.

This is the Barkday Cake his Mom made out of peanut butter. Do you see that it says "6" on it? That is because Casper turned six years old.


My Mom made some backup desserts for us. These are pupcakes.
Luna is in a pickle with her leash.

Miko and Ice wrestle each other.

"Go Ice Go! We're rooting for ya!"

Yummy liver treats made by Malou.

Casper, where are you going? The party is THIS way!

Loki is waiting for cake to fall from heaven.


Abby says "Who's that in my plate?"

Ice and Miko didn't even touch their plates? What's wrong with them? The barkday cake is untouched!

Do ya need a napkin?

"This is really yummy!"

I got Casper a singing Barkday Cake, similar to what Isis got me for my Barkday. I really like my singing Barkday Cake, so I figured Casper would like one too.

Lookie at his presents!

Ice really wanted to help open presents.


Here is an overview.

Loki wanted to play with Casper's new toys, so his Mom was trying to take them away from Loki because they belong to Casper.


While his Mom was taking them away from him, Loki grabbed a bag! He is my hero. Did I already tell you that?


Casper and Loki played shrimp sushi tug-o-war. Loki doesn't even look like he's trying, but Casper is giving it his ALL.

Casper poses with all his new toys!

Casper's Mom made each of us a treat bag to take home. She is so sweet.

Here is our group photo. Left to right are: Casper, Hana, little Mona, Luna, Loki, Abby, little Copper, Miko and Ice.


Here are the VIDEOS!
