Tempie's New Tag

BOL, we bought one for her sister Jerica as well. Now everyone wants one, I think we started something.

Dog Daze of Summer

Last Friday night Westerville, OH holds a Dog Daze of Summer event. They close down some of the roads and the dogs take over! It is a nice event and there are people there selling jewelry, crafts, food, all kinds of things. It was SO crowded this year that momster wasn't able to stop and taking many pictures because she would have held up people. BOL

Our friends that are part of the Golden Retriever Club of Columbus were there. Tempie got sniffed up and down by the Goldens. BOL

There were lots of cute doggies there like this one

We got to watch the Otterbein College band

We also picked up some goodies along the way

We had fun this night.

Wag! Fest

This last weekend they had a HUGE event here in Columbus called WAG! Fest. It is held at the metro park and is always VERY crowded. Last year they had over 12,000 people and 4,000 pups attend the event. Momster was asked to help our friends over at Brilliant K9 with their booth. Momster was SO busy helping at the booth she didn't even get to walk around Wag!

Guess who made the trip from Zanesville to attend Wag! It was my great friends Ernie and Frankie. Momster got to say hit them but only for like 87 seconds then she had to return to work. Frankie and Ernie had a great time and got a TON of freebies. You can read more about their adventure on their blog.

Tempest and dadster did disc shows with the Southern Ohio Flying K9's club. Here is Tempie showing people how to teach playing disc. Tempie is a great demo dog.

This is Bokeh's cousin, her name is Bazooka doing DAREDEVIL BAZOOKA at the Wag! demo. Isn't she pawsome? Dadster gave each kid that participated one of the Dogs Rule disc that has Bokeh and Bazooka's names on it.

These were the freebies that dad picked up when walking around.

Worms?

What mom? We have to go to the vet to be tested for Heart worms? Bokeh and I don't want to go. Why doesn't Tempie and Starr have to go? This is no fair... no fair...no fair. What mom? We get to go to the store after and pick out some treats? Hmm....okay I guess we will go.

The vet called back today Bokeh and I don't have any icky worms and can continue on with our heart worm medications.

Tempest Tuesday

Tempie visting Lake Erie, she is turning into such a beautiful girl mom says.

Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3....

Is this thing on? I was helping dadster play his online video games.

Sea Lion show at the fair

Dad said hey look, there is a sea lion over there. Mom thought he was joking

Nope, he wasn't joking. They had a Sea Lion show that was really neat to watch and learn about the Sea Lions. They had one Sea Lion that was retired and sleeping in the back that was 32 years old. That is almost as old as momster.

Moms loves dolphins and such and was super excited to see a swimming wildlife at the fair

These sea lions are super smart

Here is a little video of part of the show. This made mom's day

Ohio State Fair

While mom and dad were on vacation they decided to go to the Ohio State Fair. Normally Bokeh and I get to go because our training club puts on shows 2 days at the fair. This year they decided to give Bokeh and I a break and go to the fair by themselves so selfish of them

Here they are at the entrance of the fair

They saw cool displays by children. This was a train track made of legos

Lambs were there, BHHHHAAAAAA

This is mom's favorite Golden Retriever ever. She belongs to our training club and was there doing demos

They found a mini Bokeh while shopping

Our club members are troopers doing demos in the rain (mom was happy she decided not to take us)

Cows that are made of butter

This was all made of butter! Said it took them 240 hours to make this

Dadster had to try some of the home made ice cream

Sand sculptures

Then they headed to the nature area and there were people showing how to teach dogs to retrieve ducks and stuff.

and of course dad had to have his "fair food" this was a hamburger that had donuts instead of a bun

It rained pretty much all day but they said they would go in the rain again because it was not crowded at all. :)

Someone was in the Paper

Can you spot who was in the paper?

ME! See me in my pirate costume? BOL

The lady who rescued me from the shelter (Lesley) sent mom a message on Facebook asking if that was me. Momster didn't even know I was in the paper. Lesley was nice enough to bring us the article over so we can keep it.

I'm famous, anyone want my pawtograph?

Tempest Tuesday

Picture of Tempest from our visit to Lake Erie. She kept turning around to watch the boats and the waves, BOL

Paws in the Plaza Part 2

It is so pretty at Creekside, always places to take photos

My turn, this how you do it Tempie!

Momster loves me

Dadster loves Tempie

Pretty water falls

This is how you do it ladies :)

and of course we found this HUGE frog. I just had to take a picture for my dude, Norwood

Another doggy have his photo taken as well

Paws in The Plaza

Every first Thursday of the month (when it is nice out) they have something called Paws in the Plaza. They have different groups and vendors set up in the plaza along Creekside. The Thursday when we were on vacation Tempie and I got to attend. Tempie wished she would have stayed home because these people grabbed her and tore off her toenails, BOL. Tempest hates having her nails cut or dremmelled so when they were doing it for a donation momster was super happy to drop some green papers in the jar to have someone else do the dirty work.

After that tragedy was over for Tempest we could enjoy ourselves and watch all the views

Are we having fun yet?

They had a pretty fountain

Tempest was obsessed with the fountains

Lighthouse Part 2

When we were having our photos taken as a group people were kind of crowding around and watching us have our photo shoot. This one family asked if their kids could jump in the photo so they could use it for the cover of their vacation book, BOL. Of course we said yes, but dadster didn't even think to take a photo of them with us on OUR camera, DUH! It was nice to hear from strangers how well behaved we are. We had them fooled, BOL

But here is the result of our photo shoot

The 3 Amigos

Tempest was being a stinker and kept wanting to watch the boats go past behind her

Lighthouse

Here are the rest of our Lighthouse pictures.

Me in my new harness

Bokeh, he always looks cute
