Freedom! Kind Of...

Over the weekend Tom and Timber didn't take me anywhere cool per se, but they did start letting me off the leash at the end of my walks. I was so surprised when Tom first did it that I didn't know what to do. I just kind of stood there looking around wondering why there was suddenly no tension on the leash. After the initial shock wore off I bounced around the sidewalk and walked back to our house. I stayed close by and I think they were happy with what they saw. Now they let me off the leash near the end of my walks every day. I wonder when they will let me off for "cat patrol" (walks at night)?

Dog Park And Bath

This weekend while Timber was out of town Tom took me to the dog park where I got to run around and play with other dogs for about an hour. After that I was really dirty, wet, and slobbery, so he took me to Petco to get me washed. The water was kind of cold at times, but I cooperated and he was able to wash me without any problems. I heard that it cost $12, but I'm not really sure if that is expensive or not. Personally I trade in kibble. After he dried me with a towel he used a blow dryer on me, which I didn't like to have blowing on my head of feet. After we were all done we went back home where I got to rest and relax while Tom did stuff around the house.

Not Many Tibetan Terriers

I was checking Dogster today (that's right, I am literate), and I noticed that this week they are celebrating Tibetan Terriers. We celebrate TT's all the time at my house. :-) At any rate I saw that there were a total of 172 TT's (including me) on dogster. That got me thinking. What percentage of the dogster population is made up of TT's? How many dogs are registered on dogster? How do we compare with some of the more popular breeds like golden retreivers? Here is what I found. Here's a good stats page.
149506 dogs on dogster
172 TT's (.115 %) [including me]
100 purebread TT's (.068 %) [including me]

Konitchywa (bow)

Left At Spots

Tom and Timber went out town the weekend of February 25th and left me at Spots. Spots was OK, but I didn't eat too much and I didn't play with the other dogs as much as I expected. I was tired more of the time and ended up sleeping a lot. I was really happy when they came and picked me up. I wish I knew where they ran off to.

Playing In The Snow

Tom and Timber brought me to Tahoe with them the weekend of February 18th. I got to run around and play in the snow. It was so much fun! Hopefully they will bring me to Tahoe more often. I can't wait to go snow camping.
