Today on Walking With Jack

The creek near our house

But I don't WANT to go home yet!!

The tall guy said he wanted

to buy me a GPS to put on my collar.  

I do not even know what 

no GPS is, but he said to ask any of you if you

use one and what kind you use.

He said he didn't want me to get lost

and not be able to find me.

I'm hoping it comes in peanut butter flavor!!

My New Pictures

Here is a picture of me out 

running in the grass:

Wait.

Here is a picture of me playing in the nice,

cool water:

No, wait.

Here is a picture of me

frollicking in the meadow:

AND I can cook bread too!

What?

You mean those AREN'T pictures

of me doing all that stuff?

You mean the tall guy has been looking

for appliances instead of taking care of me

24 hours a day?

I think I am outraged.

Well, maybe not outraged,

but I am something.

Just to remind you,

here is what I looked like

relaxing in the grass

before someone decided that

our new house needed a stove

and refrigerator:

Who knows?

He's talking about lighting fixtures now.

It may be years before I get to 

go back outside and play!

September 30, 2013

Oh my my!!!

Look where we went!

Isn't this some of the most beautifulest water

you have EVER seen?

It is so pretty I just couldn't stand it!

Of course, you may notice that I did NOT

get to go into the water,

but it was still fun!

We even saw a really cool boat.

The tall guy said that it was a replica of

one of Columbus' boats.

I think he said it was the Pinto Bean.

I hope we get to go back there

really soon!!

September 24, 2013

Ahhhhh...

I think the world looks better from this angle.

This is my new favorite position.  It's how I look when I'm not ready to go back into the house yet.  The tall guy has to come and pretend like he's going to step on my tail to get me up.

He refuses to drag me back into the house like a sack of potatoes.  

Speaking of the tall guy, he says to let everyone know that he is still visiting your blogs (yes, each and every one of them).  He's usually reading them in bed before he goes to sleep so he will have happy dreams.  He just wanted you to know.  Hopefully, we'll be in our new house soon, so he can get back to his regular schedule.

September 20, 2013

So...

while I'm off playing in the water,

the tall guy goes sneaking off to have a good time!

Here is where he stayed:

It was SO big, they even

had two houses INSIDE of the place:

He saw some man who got buried in the sand.

(The tall guy said he was ok, but I'm not so sure!)

He got to look at the boats and the water.

He might not let me get in there

because I might just try to swim to the other side.

He even saw purple Sprite!

He said they didn't have any purple Pepsi,

or he would have gotten that instead.

He said he can tell how good a 

restaurant is if they serve Pepsi

instead of Coke.

All the finest restaurants serve Pepsi!

He eventually decided he missed me,

so he came back home.

It's about time!

September 15, 2013

It has come to my attention...

that some people are putting up statues of children playing and not including a dog as part of the statue.

Well, needless to say, I was smacked in the gob when I heard this.

I will gladly come to your house and be a part of your statuary if you have something good to eat.

You may see a sample of my statue-ness above.

Actually, on second thought, it might look as if I have chased all those children up a tree.  

Perhaps we should discuss this with the sculptor.

I'll get back with you!

September 12, 2013

Please may I go play in the water?

Thank you very much!!

September 9, 2013

Hello?

You meet the most interesting characters when you are out on a walk.  I watched this guy for about 6 hours and he never barked.  He didn't look at me.

He never even moved!  He must have had 

some really good training!

(The tall guy did not buy any of the houses in this neighborhood

with the dogs who do not move.

He said something about them costing over 1/2 of one million dollars.

But we like to walk around there anyway and pretend!)

September 4, 2013

I think I'm gonna like it here!

This is called 'grass'.

Evidently, all my puppy eyes

finally got to the tall guy

and he said that we could stay here.

So we have been busy for the past week

trying to find a new place to live.

The tall guy promised me that it would have

1)  grass

2)  trees

and

(he said this was the MOST important thing)

3) my very own door that I can go 

in and out when I need to at 3AM.

He doesn't seem to like getting up

and taking me outside that early in the morning,

but when you gotta go,

you gotta go.

So that is why we haven't been around much lately,

just in case you were wondering,

but I know he reads your blogs in bed every night

before he goes to sleep.

He said he spent all day yesterday

dealing with something called

'more gauges'.

I asked him how many gauges he needed,

and that if we could stay here,

I would buy him some.

I'll let you know what happens!

August 29, 2013

Oh there you are!!

I'm so happy to see you I could just bark!

We are still on our vacation.

We have been taking a lot of walks

since it is a lot cooler here than back home.

I asked the tall guy if we could stay here,

and he actually said he would think about it.

I'll let you know what he decides!

August 24, 2013

So this is where we were going!

As some of you may know, yesterday was my birthday

and I finally found out where we were going.

Primarily because we got there.

We were going to see TREES!!

Yes.

Millions and millions of trees.

I have never seen so many trees in my whole born life!!

That was what the tall guy gave me for my birthday.

He gave me a whole forest.

We had to leave it there 

for everyone else to enjoy.

I think those are the best kind of presents.

So next time you're in the forest,

listen for me.  I might be hiding behind your 

favorite tree and jump out and surprise you!

August 20, 2013

Hotels!!

We have been doing a lot of driving.

I still don't know where we're going.

Actually, I don't think the tall guy

knows where we're going either.

But we do get to see some pretty interesting

things along the way!

Are we THERE yet?

Clouds.

The tall guy said they looked interesting.

We do get to sleep in a new bed

almost every night.

Believe it or not, this is like 5:30AM.

That means before anyone else is awake.

We were already on the road

headed to our next destination!

(The tall guy said it's hard to take

pictures when you're driving.)

August 14, 2013

FINALLY!!

Evidently we are going on a vacation.

(Which is not the same thing as a vaccination.

I learned that when I was a puppy!)

I do not have no idea where we are going,

but the tall guy said he was hot

and needed some coolness.

So I guess we are going 

to where the coolness is.

Maybe we will drive by your house.

Come outside and wag your tail 

if you see us driving by.

If I see you, I will tell the tall guy

to stop so that we can say hello.

I made sure that the tall guy packed

a lot of cookies, so I will have

plenty to share.

Hopefully we will have a lot of pictures

to share when we get back.

The tall guy said we will be gone for almost a whole week.

I think that's like 42000 times to eat,

but I'm not sure.

Please don't forget us while we're gone!!

August 10, 2013

I have never!!

I thought I had seen some big rabbits,

but then the tall guy shows me this:

There is even a saddle on it!

Someone must be doing some

genetic modification testing.

Hmmm,

I wonder if they can

genetically modify a cookie?

August 6, 2013

Do You See THIS?

This is NOT me.

This is me.

Do you see any water?

Do you see me swimming?

NO!

Evidently this is what the tall guy does

when he goes away on the airplanes!

He goes looking for other dogs

playing in the water.

Vengeance is mine,

sayeth the Jack!

(Well, he did bring me

back some cookies.

Maybe I'll overlook it

THIS time!)

August 1, 2013

Uh-oh!!

I knew something was happening when he got out 

that bag with the wheels on it again.

Don't you know it, the tall guy is leaving me here 

ALL ALONE* for 4 days.

What if I don't have any food?

What if I don't get to go on any walks?

What if I can't change the tv channel?

I am beginning not to like airplanes one bit!

(*Well, all alone except for the person 

who is staying here with me.)

July 30, 2013

Has the world gone CRAZY?!?

Can you see this?

It looked like a sideways rainbow!

The tall guy said he had never seen

anything like it before.

Of course, since it was so

exceedingly rare,

the picture he took is

not very good.

(I think the fact that I was pulling

on my string when he was trying

to take the picture didn't help.)

Have you seen a sideways rainbow before?

July 23, 2013

What a WONDERFUL picture!!

Especially the finger in the corner!!

BOL!!

July 18, 2013

Can you believe it?

Someone yelled at me today.

I won't mention any names.

Just because I was trying to pick up a dead bird

that I found on the sidewalk.

I was told in no uncertain terms

that I was NOT to pick up

dead birds on the sidewalk.

Like I was supposed to know that!

July 15, 2013

Do you see what I see?

It might be kinda hard to see,

but there is an actual rabbit in the picture.

We see about 4000 of them when we take

our afternoon walk.

But they never want 

to stick around and talk.

But wait!

Do you see this?

Yes, it's a big old mud poodle.

I don't know why they call it a mud poodle.

They should call it a swimming poodle.

It has been raining here almost everyday.

It makes it very nice when we take

our afternoon walks

because it cools it down and the tall guy

is not in such a hurry to get back home.

I hope it's cool for your walks

wherever you are!!

July 7, 2013

And the wieners are:

(BOL!!!)

The tall guy got on the computer and did some computer stuff and the computer picked some numbers, 

(something about ram dumb numbers)

and here are the winners

of the Frosty Paws prize packs:

1.  Tucker

2.  Benny and Lily

3.  Clyde S. Dale

4.  Kaija and Malakai

and

5.  Sam

So if you will have your peoples send an email 

with your home address to the tall guy

(jacksdad2011@gmail.com),

he will send you your prizes ASAP.

I'll make sure that the boxes are tight so that nothing 

can fall out on the way!

Thank you to everyone!!

July 3, 2013

Remember This?

Neither do I!

It's been like eleventy-million degrees here lately.

So to help everyone remember when it was NOT so hot,

the Frosty Paws people have given the tall guy

5 whole Frosty Paws gift packages to give away.

(Wyatt is giving some away too!)

Here's what you get:

A Frosty Paws themed summer travel pack, which includes an insulated backpack, a water bottle for your pup, a pop-up treat bowl, an insulated food container, and a plastic bone 

filled with doggy waste bags, as well as 

one Frosty Paws frozen snacks VIP coupon.

(The tall guy 'borrowed' those words from Wyatt's mom.

He said it is too hot to type!

If you want to see what all the loot looks like,

or enter Wyatt's contest, you can go here!)

We know how everyone loves Frosty Paws,

so here's all you have to do:

Leave a comment below and then we will have a drawing

to decide who wins the prizes.

It's that simple.

Please leave your comment by Saturday, July 6th.

We'll do the drawing on Sunday.

Unfortunately, the contest is only open to

US residents.

(Sorry Bob and Sophie :(

Maybe one day we can have a

Pieds de Chien Froid contest!)

Good luck

and may your paws always be frosty!
