we took Leo on a road trip out to the Fremont dog park.


he found a friend to play with for a wail.


they had fun running a wrestling.


to our surprise he actually wanted to go check out the lake.


and he watched some duck and he saw his first squirrel sighting.


then he did one more round at the dog park for a bit before we headed home.


the next day: he did really good job at finding the eggs we hid.


he eventually stated getting good at finding them.


but he did need help opening the carrot.


that carrot had some really good treats inside.


he also got "hoppie" his Easter bunny.


he was not thrilled about the rain that we got on Monday.


Leo practicing his "sit, stay".


then we hung out at the local dog park wail my brother was at the DMV.

Leo is giving you that look again in his "practicing to sit and stay" pic, LOLOL. Too cute. Pic with Hoppie is adorable! His playmate looks just like him! In a less fluffy sort of way, haha, great pics of the two of them! Kinda gives you an idea of how Leo would look with a little brother or sister, huh

its his "i don't wanna do this" face , he usually dose it when were running late to drop off the kids at school. but he humors me and dose it anyway .

this will be the last river hike we do cause the heat is on its way. i'm hoping we can go to the redwood forest out in Oakland before it gets to hot .


sorry of the shakiness, our first road trip in a wail and some one had so much fun   .



our yearly Easter egg hunt.

a nice walk to school with his pack, due to warmer then normal weather we had to take a short walk.


some more gopher madness, i think our yard is finally looking like Swiss cheese   .


but i'm glade some one is having fun, but i still have a lot of holes to fill hehe.


some morning sunbathing well kind of.


he was not happy about having to wear his extra harness wail i washed and dried his favorite one.


we did see some people at the park but with "disk dog lady" yelling at here dogs to not do things it ruined the hole atmosphere. she also said that Leo was being dominate but i'm not sure why. all he did was his let play noise that he usually dose.  after all that we left as Leo didn't want to be there so we went out to look at the water.


he was tired after all the commotion at the park and a nice hike on the levee.


we too the short cut to get the news paper. not sure if he saw a cat or something.

some one was getting muddy in the morning.


then he saw a pigeon on the roof.  


we finally had a nice day without rain and not to cold. so i decided to vacuum the van and Leo did some supervising.


we went out to practice mushing commands and he stopped to check out this redwood tree.


this is what happens when i put on my yellow and blue shorts   i didn't even say "its time to take bath" yet.


we tried the peanut butter idea    it worked for most of the bath. then he need to go pee, so i had to hurry .


then he was so white and clean. i figured he would sstay that way for too long since he has gopher madness fever.


then he let me do some brushing and combing out of all the lose fluff  that he had which wasn't much. since he seems to be shedding really slow .


we had a few days of warmer then normal temperatures so we had to get up extra early. then after our very early morning walk i found him looking down the gopher hole   .


he finally decided to lay on the lounger, he look like he was going to fall off


Leo turn 3 years old today. made him some cake and a special dinner: salmon and veggies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO!!!!!! I never realized he was a Cinco de Mayo puppy

I missed a whole bunch of pics! Really pretty pics Ronin, I was gonna say how beautiful Leo looks with green around him, really sets off his coat...but that pic where he's looking out at the water I just love all the colors. Ronin, there is a "disk dog lady" at every park, unfortunately, don't pay attention to her, you know Leo better than anyone. New pics are really cute, the lounger pic made me smile video is really cute, Leo had a great day

thanks, i get reminded every year on TV   , he stole the lounger spot when my niece came inside to get the camera for my brother.

got him to play with me for a few minutes before he...


got distracted by gopher madness. he also manage to catch 4 baby gophers that were about 1inch in size, not sure if i should be worried about gopher   cuties. he didn't eat any of them or brake the skin.


he had fun at the park with coco and getting muddy. it was a bit warm for him so we headed home and his foot was bothering him. on the count he wiped his feed on the grass or the "peeling out" at the fire hydrant     .


we ran some errand with grandma and got some stuff to make his weekly rations. and some stuff for making dinner.


very early   morning walk it was nice and warm.


waiting in the car with my mom wail i when to bank.


we also stopped at the local hardware store to see if they had a rain barrel. he likes to check out all the plants in the garden area .


then the weather got cooler and he was very happy about that but he kept waking me up at 5:30am just so he can lay in his hole   .


early morning mud facial .


the neighbor dogs where out so he went to check them out.


we got some stuff to make musubi and some dehydrated cherries for him and he decide to looking for them.

First, and last pic are too cute, Ronin

thanks, that last one was too funny. i was laughing so much i almost didn't take the picture. i though it was going to be blurry.

we got ready to head out to the dog park.


wail we warmed up the van, he checked out the neighbors moving their boat.


it was a very warm morning so we did see a few dogs but since i didn't know them i didn't take any pictures.


then he too a nice break in the shade then headed home before it got to hot.


he decided to take a nap in the front yard after a long early morning walk. so we hung out in the front yard for a wail.


then later in the week we took the van for an oil change and we waited for a wail, Leo deiced to take a nap.


then we did an early morning walk around the park, it was very nice an cool to start but it got warm very quickly.


then we water all the plants and he napped in the garden in the shade.


after a long walk and running some errands i did some brushing.


and he just fell asleep.

That napping in the shade pic is so beautiful Ronin, I love how peaceful it looks.

That's a beautiful park! It's big too

I've been brushing Kohdi and getting out piles like that, lol

thanks, it was nice an peaceful with all the birds sing and a nice breeze . he is defiantly shedding a bit faster this year vs last year.

apologizes in advance this post is pic heavy.

we got ready to head out to our fist husky meetup of the year.


it was a long drive, and it was very hot out for San Jose, ca. i think it was in the 90's.


so they had a pool party.


he was very curious about the pool.


he found a nice wet husky to chase and wrestle with   .


he did look uncomfortable in it with other dogs but he eventually got into it with another dog .


we also saw his friend Sky. she is the tall one next to the black and white little one.


he also jumped on his first table,  WOW.


when we got home, he ate dinner and just slept like a rock.

short video of our day out.



the next day he was so tired he just watched the gophers pop their head out of their holes and he just napped .


we finally found a big enough pool of him at the walmart . they are usually sold out of these ones.


some one got really muddy feet in the morning.


i couldn't get him to look at me 


grandma rinsed him off before we head off on our walk.


he was really enjoying his pool the last few days and playing with my niece.


then he got pool zoomies and he stated jumping in and out of the pool.


he was also putting all his toys in the water.


love that    face.


we did our last trip to drop off the kids at school this week and their summer vacation has started.

Leo is enjoying his new pool .


some enjoyed our morning walk to get the newspaper.


he woke me up early so he could lay in his hole.


we got the big pool up and Leo was checking it out. it was hard cause some one with muddy feets was sabotaging us       but we did it.


we went on an early morning walk. one happy guy even though it was very hot.


gave him a cow ear and found him by the pool pump, he loves his "crunchies".


we went to pick some raspberries from the garden.


Leo wanted to play this morning...


first we played with toys in the pool...


then he did zoomies around the big pool.


then we gave him a balloon to play with in his little pool.


we took a long walk and ran errands to make 3 milks cake for my mom's birthday.


Leo was all tuckered out from running errands.


found him sunbathing in 90ish degrees   . he usually bakes for 20 mins and comes in then dose it one more time.


today we did a short walk due warm morning weather and some light trotting. he turns 3 years and 1 month today.

i found him sunbathing it was in the upper 80s.


out on our morning walk, he still wants to take me to the kids school even though they are on vacation   .


he was still energetic after our walk...


he did some zoomies around the big pool.


he was very happy after some morning zoomies.


his new favorite spot to eat his cow ear in the summer time.


we also got some spring rain, well it was more of sprinkle of rain.


he made it home with his pack on for the first time and we walked for about a mile and a quarter .


i got a good pic of him playing fetch with "little Shaun" his sheep. he would bring him back an toss him into the pool .


he loves to splash in the pool.


nesting on the coat in the front room .


we also walked on the levee, until some playmates arrived.


he was so happy he got to play with his friend Coco.


then we stop at the pet store looking for some assassin snails for our fish tank, and Leo enjoyed the view of the fish.

Awww, you got some really good pics, Ronin. Something about the one where Leo is standing outside the door, looking in, that I just love. And I love his sheep!!! Hahaha. Good investment on the pool, I have a feeling this is gonna be a hot, dry summer for us in California. And Leo loves it! I may have to get Kohdi and Mishka one, haha, they have the backyard pool, but they won't use it, and I really don't want them exposed to the chlorine and stuff, so seeing how much Leo enjoys his pool, makes me want to get one for my two. Great pics Ronin.

he loves to toss his toys in there and make the water all muddy. thanks, he looked so cute standing outside looking in.

for some reason he finds this spot interesting .


after an early morning walk he took a nice nap next to the garden.


we also enjoyed lounging in the shade of the tree in our front yard for a few days.


we walked threw the grass at the park and someone always checks out the sewer drain ,


he took a brake on the way home since it was starting to get hot now, well have to take shorter walks and get up extra early.


then playtime in the backyard although...


we played a game of fetch and tug a war...


zoomies around the pools.


i moved this pool under our gazebo, since the temperature has been in the 100s for the last couple of days.


we have to stop and take water brakes during our morning walks. the humidity is very bad at night we had to skip the night walks for the last few days. that and fire works at night have kept us inside since the big loud ones scare him.


he has also been sunbathing in 95-100 degrees   .


i went out to see if he wanted to come in after baking away.

he was enjoying some grass from the garden.


we took a sort walk around the park since it was a very warm morning.


when we shared some coconut ice cream.


checking out the big pool.


some more sunbathing wail the weather was nice in the morning.


he was so itchy form all the humidity and dirt in his fluffy coat we gave him a bath. he refused to get in the shower upstairs  i tried a few attempts to get him in to the bath but he wouldn't budge and threw a tantrum . so option two: take a bath outside thank goodness it was 103 degrees out there. it took the hole family to get him clean but we did it   .


he thought we were going to give him a second bath they way he is looking at me .


we did finally get some cooler weather by the weekend. and there were no playmates so we walked on the levee wail we waited for some to arrive.


he found himself a nice stick to chew wail we waited for my mom.

Ronin, for some reason I couldn't, and still can't, see the pics in your last posting. Your new pics from today I can see, so it's weird. I only get a little blue box with a question mark in it.

I like the pic where he thinks he's getting a second bath, lol.

The coconut ice cream bars...my two LOVE THEM!!!

that is strange not sure why that's happening, i see them not sure if i reload them they will pop up.
yeah he looks like hes going to run for the hills hahaha. he mooches ice cream every time i open one even if its not coconut flavored hehe so i get one just for him and some times we share.

I was going to say " no, don't go thru the trouble of re-uploading in case it's only me that can't see them," but now I can see them and see your reason for editing was to upload again. It's weird because I posted pics to my gardening thread, and I think it was Mishka's scrapbook, from my iPad...and they were fine on my iPad, but then others here started telling me they were upside down, lol. They weren't upside down on my iPad or my iPhone! But when I went on my laptop, they were indeed upside down. In my gardening thread, I think I just left them...in Mishka's scrapbook I just deleted the upside down ones cuz I didn't want to deal with uploading them again. Anyways, thank you for going thru the trouble Ronin! They are great pics, as usual first one reminds me of Mishka. She will be interested in one spot like that cuz I think she hears little animals scurrying around underneath the plants
