4th Dog Park
Today Joan and I went to the 4th new dog park in Austin. It was a long wait, though. Usually we go on a walk around 5pm ... and that means I start reminding Joan about our walk oh about at 3:30. Reminding usually comes in the form of ... if Joan is at the computer, bumping her arm or licking her leg or arm ... if she is just around... then it is licking any free part of her, making Chewbacca sounds and doing body contortions, getting really excited anytime she/I am near the door or my leash.
Anyway, tonight I really wanted to go out but first she brushed me outside on the grass. Then she tried to cut my toenails. Uh no. She did cut about 3 but I had enough of that. Finally, finally we got to go after this new friend of Joan's - her name is Melissa - and she likes me, arrived at our house. I guess we were waiting for her. We drove only a short way and then we got out and walked along Shoal Creek, and it was really cool! In places, it reminds me of my beloved Mississippi River trails (the water, as you might imagine is obviously not equivalent!!!). There is no swimming out into a huge river to fetch sticks! But I did get to wade around in the creek anytime I wanted as we walked. It is not all leash-free but a good enough part is. And we walked along these limestone cliffs - it was really cool.
I also saw my favorite kind of squirrel - a DEAD ONE. It was in the gutter and smelled DEAD. Too bad.
I was really thirsty when we got home but otherwise, very well-exercised.

Howdy Bosco,
My Mom found your blog, and she said I could send you a big ol' Texas Howdy. She lived in Bastrop not too long ago. I didn't live there with her, but her other dog Ace did.
You will like Austin. I promise. Mom says.
Come see me at my blog, and say congratulations to your people on the triathlon! Sounds like a lot of work to me!

Hi Bosco!
This is Torpedo talking to you again. I saw your comment over on my blog and it made me happy to see it. I've been trying to get Mom's friends to read my blog by looking when they look at me, and I guess that's pretty easy because Mom says I'm cute. I think I look like a dog personally. Anyhoo, I don't like getting my nails trimmed either, but cause I had it done lots as a puppy when I lived with my raiser Tifany, I'm quiet and good when it happens, well... most of the time. I wish you lived up here again so we could play. I'd make sure you weren't afraid of me. I'm sorry bad things happened to you when you weren't living with Jone, but that's why Jone is so great, cause she won't let anything happen to you again. Anyway, thanks for reading about my adventures, and I'll try to write more. I'll also keep you updated about how the river is doing. Mom won't let me go to the dog park though... pfft! She says other dogs might not have their shots... have you heard of anything so weird? I just wanna play with the other dogs you know? Anyway, give Jone lots of labby kisses from me and a hi from Mom.
