Well, I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. Memorial Day weekend is only a couple days away! Here in Wisconsin, that means the official start of boating season. I didn't think the ice would ever melt this year! Fortunately, I have been swimming from shore for a few weeks and working on my stroke. But there is nothing like jumping off the boat and showing off my WAG Boarding Steps™. Everyone wants to call it a dog boat ladder or dog boat ramp, but there is a reason the boss calls it dog boat steps. |

Well, yesterday I turned 9 years old! My humans gave me some great gifts. The first was a chew bone. It was gone within an hour. They also renewed my membership in AARP. I think it stands for American Association of Retriever Pets. I hear ads all the time on TV for their Medicare supplement insurance, whatever that is. I think I qualify for a scooter chair, too. I hope I never need any of these things. However, my favorite gift was a share of stock. |

Well, it is that time of year, again. You know, the over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house thing. Unfortunately, the closest thing to woods I see is a forest of semi-trucks at the rest areas. Cooped up in our Jeep for 14 hours (longer if the weather is bad) is not my idea of a fun time, but the destination is worth it. Sadly, this year, there is only one grandmother's house to visit. MorMor, my Swedish grandmother in Connecticut, passed away this year. |

Normally, Thanksgiving is a day when I patrol the kitchen floor
and am thankful for stuff that falls off the dishes. But this year is different.
As WaterDog Adventure Gear™ nears the end of our first year
of sales, I am thankful for all of the humans who purchased our product so that
their dogs could have as much fun as me. And us dogs know that happy dogs make happy
humans. I am also thankful for our U.S.
suppliers for working with us as we grow.
U.S. manufacturing means jobs. |

Tomorrow is Election Day. Good thing because I am ready to chew the phone cord in half and blow the TV up.
I can't believe the number of phone calls the last few weeks. It is almost impossible to take a nap for longer than 10 minutes during the day. I'm not sure which is worse, the phone ringing or my humans cussing at it. They call them "Robo" calls. I'm not sure who Robo is, but he must have a lot of time on his hands. Since our home state of Wisconsin is considered a "battleground" state, Robo apparently likes to call us more. |

In case you haven't been keeping up with pop culture, the latest craze on the Internet is "dogshaming." This is where humans take our picture and position notes next to us. These notes say things like "I pooped on the carpet" or "I ate Grandma's cat's food." (Okay, guilty as charged.) You can see a bunch of these by entering "dogshaming" in your computer's browser.
Well, I think it is time we dogs strike back with "humanshaming. |

My human friends call these the "dog days" of summer. I'm not sure what that is suppsed to mean. I thought every day was a dog's day.
I do know it has been extremely hot and we haven't had much rain. As much as I love sunny days, I do hope we get rain for our farmers. I know our grass feels like I am walking on a pile of toothpicks or porcupine quills. Speaking of that, type "porcupine quills in dogs" in your search engine for some painful pictures. |

Today, my owner brought home a large bag of dog food. You know, that nasty dry crap that comes in a bag the size of a small sofa. The words "Best if Used by September 2013" were printed at the top.
Now this generated a number of thoughts in my head.
First, the word "best" is a stretch. Compared to steak or hot dogs, it certainly isn't. I've had cat food that tastes better.
I then wondered what happens in 18 months that makes it suddenly change. Does the ground up shoe leather they use as filler spoil? |

With MemorialDay fast approaching, I get excited about the thought of boating season kicking into gear. But the holiday is a time to reflect on the sacrifices our men and women in the armed forces, past and present, have made to make it possible for the rest of us to enjoy our freedom. And let's not forget my fellow K-9s who play a role in military service and serve as companion dogs to our vets.
With this in mind, I'd like to share a video I came across that shows how much we care: |

Okay, so I gave you some bad advice on how to fill out your March madness bracket. Yes, I know my picks for the Championship, the Huskies and the Bulldogs, didn't even make it past the first round! I won't waste your time with my stock picks.
Well, tomorrow is Easter and that means that boating season is right around the corner! I won't make the same mistake as last year when I had a Peeps® hangover. I didn't think snatching a bowl of yellow and pink chickies off the counter would make me feel so bad! |
