like the coolest thingie evarrr!
For their Driving Dogs campaign, SPCA Auckland, along with MINI New Zealand, had animal trainer Mark Vette and his team teach rescue dogs Monty, Porter, and Ginny how to drive. The campaign’s aim was to change some common misconceptions about the intelligence of rescue dogs. In this series of videos, you can see how the dogs learned to drive and, in this video, you can watch Porter drive a MINI Countryman around a track. The specially modified was customized for the dog’s use by Ikon Engineering. (via Laughing Squid)porter, monty, and miss ginny are the three lucky ducky doggies who got to go drivin'! aren't they all kinds of crazy cuteness? i hope they find their forevarrr homes in like 2 seconds. they can even drive themselves there! teeheehee.

autumn's arrival
greetings, dear friends! it is i, asa. with sheer delight, i wish to inform you that autumn most graciously agreed to make its presence known here in south carolina! there are few things i anticipate with as much joy as autumn's arrival. it is my most cherished season of the year. the slight chill in the air, the mosaic of leaf colors on trees, attiring one's self in cozy sweaters and sweatshirts -- these are but a few of the myriad of pleasures autumn has to offer.
you can imagine my glee when i perceived the sufficiently chilled air temperature and came to the realization that i could at last wear my prized magenta hoodie sweatshirt! among its numerous useful features, my hoodie sweatshirt affords me the opportunity to enjoy a quick power nap whilst sitting up, without the risk of catching a chill.
 |
| a lovely power nap whilst sitting |
alas, my mother finds this amusing and brought it upon herself to procure pictures of said event. may i express to you the annoyance of being disturbed in the middle of a power nap?
 |
| why, no, mother, i am NOT amused by your disturbance. |
if by some fortuitous event i ever acquire opposable thumbs, you can rest assured that i shall return the favor!

full of the embarrassments!!!!!
hihi everybuddy!! it's me, the booker man! i hope you haven't forgotten who in the bananas i am since it's been like 50 gazillion years since you've heard from me. i wish i had a crazy go nuts awesome sauce excuse like...alien kitties abducted me and took me to mars to drive that rover thingie...or maybe that me 'n asa had been picked to be on a new reality teevee show about snausage makin' (and eatin'!)...but all i can woof is that it's my mama's fault. seriously.
way back last july, she kinda decided that she needed a break from helpin' me with my bloggie. she and daddy were gonna tile the laundry room floor and kitchen floor. well, we all know how long it takes the hoomans to do their home improvement thingies! next, mama 'n daddy had to do some mega travelin'...washington, d.c. and chicago and germany and california...whew! finally, mama decided that she was gonna go back to school, and she got all busy researchin' schools and fillin' out applications and stuff. she started takin' classes a couple months ago in june.
i finally reached the tippy top of my ability to be patient like a few days ago, and i did what any doggie would do in a code red situation like this. i cornered my mama in the bathroom while she was dryin' her furs one morning, and i gave her the biggest, most totally boohoo googley eyes evarrr followed by some super duper gooey nose kisses. then i begged her to help me with my bloggie. of course she immediately melted into a puddle of cheeses. teehee, just kiddin', but she agreed to get on the interwebz with me and help me paw a bloggie post! well, i logged on to my bloggie and also checked my bark mail, and i had messages from ya'll askin' if i was okie dokie. that made me sad and all full of the embarrassments. i am so way sorry like that we were MIA for so long and didn't woof anythingie!! we are all doin' grrreat. mama is way busy, though, so i gotta make sure to woof that we aren't gonna be regulars in bloggie world anymore, but we will be around from time to time.
so to recap our absence:

it's not really campin' if there aren't swimmies involved!!
okie dokie...to recap my totally awesome sauce campin' trip up to this point, me and asa and mama and daddy had already made it through a mega gusty thunderstorm and been on a grrreat hike through the woods and along lake hartwell. but it's just not campin' for reals unless you get your paws wet, so of course we headed down to the lake for some epic water funsies!!
even my big sis asa, who is not a really big fan of the waters, decided to go in the lake for a dip! she even went for a mini swimmie! watch 'n see!
after me 'n asa got super pooped from splashin' around in the lake, we went back to camp and spread out in the sunshineys so we could dry off and work on our tans before supper.
we even had a little inchworm friend come 'n join us! neato!
too bad i couldn't bring him home with me. my mama said N-O. we'll see you next time, though, mr. inchworm!
THE END!

the campin' extravaganza continues!
so in case you need a mind refreshification, me and asa and mama and daddy were campin' and had just made it through a mega storm that lasted all night! daddy got our camp fire blazin' again, and we had a way delish breakfast of bacon 'n eggs! nommy!
the storm had passed and left a most beautimous 'n sunshiney day, so we decided to go on a big hike. we picked a trail called the nature walk that would take us through the woods and by the shores of lake hartwell.
we set off with asa leadin' the way cuz she is the bestest navigator!
at first, i was a smidge full of the nervosity since there were all these super skinny wooden bridges to cross. even way brave asa wasn't too sure about them.
but there were seriously like 50 gazillion of these bridge thingies, so we had to get used to them really quick like!
asa was feelin' uber spunky. she's gonna be 9 years old in october, but look at her jump this log! 9 is the new 4! teehee.
we came out of the woods right up on the shore of lake hartwell. mama was too slow with the camera, but right when we approached, a hooge 'n handsome grrreat blue heron stared us down and then took off into the sky!!
asa went crazy go nuts over the heron, and dragged mama to the water. asa sniffed 'n sniffed everywhere. i did, too. we were really interested cuz we had nevarrr evarrr seen a grrreat blue heron before!
after our heron sighting, we were all gettin' the rumblies in our tummies, so we headed back to camp to make lunch. i overheard mama say somethingie to daddy about goin' back to the lake for swimmies after lunch!!!

but there were seriously like 50 gazillion of these bridge thingies, so we had to get used to them really quick like!

once upon a time, i went campin'!
do ya'll remember me postin' this pic awhile back?
it is from a totally awesome sauce campin' trip that me and asa and mama and daddy went on like 50 gazillion years ago! okie dokie, it wasn't really that long ago...we went in april, but mama just now got around to gettin' all the pics off of her flashy camera.
anywho, are ya'll ready to hear a campin' adventure story?? i'll woof about everythingie, includin' why my mama has such a big smiley on her face in the tent pic! teehee.
so way back in april, mama 'n daddy loaded me and asa and all of our campin' gear into the car, and we drove and drove and drove to a far away place called lake hartwell. mr. google let me attach a map, so you can see where lake hartwell is if you want!
when we finally got to lake hartwell, we found the state recreation area, which is where we had reserved our camp site. there was a super secret CAMPERS ONLY entrance just for us!
mama tried to get me 'n asa to pose by the sign by ourselves, but we didn't feel like lookin' at the flashy camera. this is our best "snooty" look. heeheehee.
we got to our camp site, which was totally spiffy and right on the lake! check out our view!
daddy 'n mama got our tent, green tarp, and pop-up canopy set up while me 'n asa enjoyed bully sticks. yummy yummers! then i gave mama my bestest googley eyes cuz i wanted to go explorin'!
since it was gettin' close to supper time, we did a quick walkie around our camp site area. we found this nifty mega flowerin' bush that was growin' around a hooge tree!
we got back to camp about an hour later, and daddy got the fire goin' so we could roast some hot dogs (tube steaks for mr. frankie!!). as the sun was settin', we started makin' s'mores. this is when thingies started gettin' a smidge excitin'. mama was in the middle of toastin' her 52,891 marshmallow when she felt somethingie hit her face. that somethingie was wet. then another wet somethingie hit her face, and before you could woof "where's the umbrella?", the sky let loose with buckets of waters! the wind started blowin' all crazy go nuts, and the sky was lightin' up with boomers!
the rain and wind and boomers lasted all night long. none of us snoozed very much, and mama was totally worried that we were gonna get washed and/or blown away in our little tent. thankfully, the storm stopped around sunrise, and we all fell into a deep snooze for a few hours. when we woke up, the sun was shinin' all bright like, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky! can you believe that?!
daddy took the pic of mama and me and asa in the tent right after we woke up in the morning. now you know why mama was so very much happy (cuz normally she's kinda cranky pants about gettin' up in the morning)!
thank goodnesses for our special green tarp! it totally saved the day! the only problem was that daddy's fire got way soaked, so he had to work really really hard to get it goin' again. i totally knew he could do it, though, cuz he was a grrreat boy scout growin' up! heehee.
