Last weekend I made a great new friend.
His name is Wyatt and he’s a 10 Year Old Golden Retriever – He lives with some very good friends of Mum and Dads. He had Doggie siblings, but sadly they passed away and now he’s an only Dog, just like me.
I’m a wise old Dog – not sure I still want to play like a pup anymore?
His Mum thought he’d forgotten how to play with other Dogs as he was getting really grumpy when he met another Dog out on a walk.
Wyatt’s parents and my parents arranged for him to come over and have a play date with me, cos if anyone can teach a Dog how to play again, I figured it would be me 
Wyatt brought me a super cool gift of a Red Ball and in no time we were playing in the garden – Yay!!
How cool is this Ball?
Hey Snoop, have you seen just how fluffy your tail is?! Wow Dude!! Can’t look right now Wyatt cos the ball might roll away!!
I even demonstrated to him how to catch chase a Squirrel. He doesn’t get Squirrels in his garden, so he didn’t really understand, but I think it’s a good skill to have!
I’m really not getting why you want to chase after the Squirrel, let’s just play with the ball?!
By the end of our play date Wyatt was showing me how mischievous he is, he was barking and he was getting me to chase him around the garden whilst he had the ball in his mouth, every time I nearly got it he body swerved me and I missed!! Doh!! He sure is a Wise Old Dog!!
I even sleep with my new ball
Thanks for my new ball Wyatt – you sure have good taste in toys – this is my new favorite toy – I hope you’re free to play again soon!
I wonder what everyone else has been up to?

As always, Snoopy, I wish you could come over and play with us too. We could have great fun with that ball.
Hey Alfie,
Oh we sure could, I so wish it was easy for me to come and play with you – The airlines need to sort out this ‘No Big Dogs in the Cabin Nonsense’ – doh!!

Hey Alfie,
I had a feeling I’d seen you with one of these balls!! Mum was worried that I’d chew it to bits – huh? So far so good, it’s intact and that’s after playing with it for a week!!
Wyatt sure is cool – I really like him

I’ve seen balls like that, but Elka doesn’t have one yet). It looks like a lot of fun!
Jen recently posted..Friday fun! If Dogs Had Credit Cards Infographic
Hi Jen,
Ooooh – I think Elka would really like one too!! Maybe for Christmas?!
Have fun,

Rita has a green ball like that and I keep trying to convince her it’s the best toy ever, but she doesn’t agree with me. (She prefers stuffed toys.)
Looks like you had a great time with your handsome friend. They sure knew where to bring a pup in need of some mischief lessons!

Hey Jackie,
Yep, I’m thinking of starting a Doggie Mischief Daycare?! Have a feeling the Dogs will love it more than the humans? Tee Hee

Thanks Julie,
Wyatt is super clever to bring me such a great gift – we had so much fun together!
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Snoops
That ball looks like great fun. I might have to put one of those on my Christmas list. And it looks like you had great fun with Wyatt too – although I’m sure he’ll never be the same again. He must know lots more ways to get into mischief after playing with you.
Bongo recently posted..Sibling Rivalry
Hi Bongo,
I think you definitely should put one on your Christmas list buddy!!
Guess what, Wyatt even should me how to open the door with your nose, though his nose is longer than mine, I may well give it a try?! Tee Hee
Have a fun day,
Snoops
While we would never expect that, we decided to do some basic disaster preparedness, since Sandy seems to be coming all the way up here
We’re not in much danger of flooding where we are, but the whole house runs on hydro; so making sure we’ll have heat, water, food and light in case the hydro does go out. Weather mischief. Somebody ought to put a stop to that.

Hey Snoopy, Jet here.
What a great recreational therapist you are in addition to your usual therapy activities!
Mom asked me to share that Wyatt is a handsome golden boy… perhaps another candidate for JJ???

You could be right, him and JJ may get on really well?

Oh yeah, you would have loved to have joined in our game of chase with the ball, there sure was lots of barking!!
Wags to all,

Snoopy, I just think it was so nice of you to remind Wyatt how much fun it is to play. He just needed someone like you to pick up his spirits and show him how it’s done again. That’s a pretty nice ball he brought you even if he was kind of trying to hoard it at the end of your play date! LOL! I hope you two have lots more play dates together!

Hi Dogs N Pawz,
My Mum was worried that I might destroy this ball too, but I’ve had it a week now and I’m being really good with it!

Snoopy! My red ball like that went missing recently … I can’t believe you have one the same in your mouth … *stares at ball for way too long*
I think you did a great job teaching Wyatt how to play again, it looks like really tiring work *wag wag wag*

I promise it’s not your ball – it even had a wrapper on it

You guys are too cute! Maybe Wyatt does not feel 100% and meeting strange dogs on walks feels threatening to him. My sister always loved other dogs and then she started not being nice but since she is on her new arthritis meds she loves other dogs again…just a thought
How’s the book coming along by the way? I am saving my allowance to get myself a copy and maybe some as gifts for Christmas if I can save enough…hmmm…dog treats or Christmas gifts…budgeting is a tough job!
Emma recently posted..A Happy Sad Day | GBGV
Hi Emma,
Thanks for your thoughts on Wyatt – I sure hope he is feeling ok
And thanks for asking about the book –
I’mMum is super busy with it – we’re just finalizing the cover with the designer and working on the main text at the same time. There’s way more to do than I ever imagined, so most of the time I just go and play (to keep out of the way!) Tee HeeWe’re really hoping to have it out by Christmas – Yay!! We’re planning another update post soon
I hope you’re having a fun day,
Snoops
Snoopy, what a fun day you must have had. I bet Wyatt appreciated the reminder of how wonderful it is to have and play with a pal. You are so lucky he gave you such a great new toy!
