I went to the romping palace and it was fun!

Remember last time, when I went to Miss Sheri's romping palace and all the dogs tried to sniff me at the same time and I got cranky and snappy and had to leave the party?

Well, today I went back and guess what? I was a good boy and I had lots of fun!!

I would show you pictures but Mommy forgot her camera and her phone because she had to sneak out of the house while Bailey wasn't looking. At least she remembered to change out of her pajamas! So you will just have to take my word that it was some good dog times.

I went to the first medium sized dog romping party of the day and those dogs are a lot calmer than the medium sized dogs in the second romping party of the day.

I got there early and said hi to a dog named Susie and then a barking German Shepherd puppy and some other dogs. Then we all played and romped and sniffed all the other dogs as they got there. Susie's family included a boy named Hunter and he played ball with me. That was fun.

I like the first romping party on Saturday and I think I will go back for more. The sad part is that Michelle who works there is moving back to Alabama. Boo on that, Michelle. I will miss you! But Danielle is still there, which is good.

So if you want to have some fun romping with other dogs, you should go to Miss Sheri's romping palace for dogs. You can also go to school there but it is more fun to romp!

My first Rally Obedience class!

I am not the teacher's pet. I am Mommy's pet. But I am the teacher's helper!



Today I went to Miss Sherri's romping palace for school. It was a class called Rally Obedience.

So far Rally Obedience class is pretty much walking in a giant circle being a good boy and getting hot dogs popped into your mouth when you do stuff your Mommy tells you to do. Sit. Hot dog. Walk. Hot dog. Lie down. Hot dog. Walk. Hot dog. Sit. Hot dog. Stop jumping on the table trying to get cheese, Bandit. Hot dog. It was super great!

Mommy says I  need to learn how to Stop and Stand without doing a Sit. I will do anything she wants as long as she keeps the hot dogs coming! Miss Michelle the teacher even used me in a demonstration. That's because one upon a time Mommy used to have weave poles in the back yard so Scout could play Circus Dog and I learned how to weave. 

I also made some new friends - Potter and Sawyer and Maeby and Snowball. We are the smartest dogs in the whole world on Saturday at 11 AM, just in case you didn't know that.

When you are super good at your obedience, you get to play after class. I played flying dog. This is me and my pal Sawyer. He is blurry in all of the pictures. You know what that means - we're having fun!

Then Mommy and me went to Mr. Tim Horton's. They did not have any plain Tim Bits and they did not have Mommy's favorite donut. (I think Mrs. Tim Horton had the day off.) So we got a glazed donut. And it is DEEEE-LISH! I have a new favorite!

So that is Rally Obedience class. Hot dogs and playtime and new friends and donuts! Who wouldn't love that?


Love
BANDIT!!

PS Today is Sunday, and guess what? I found out that after class Maeby got to have PIE!! I think I would have liked to have pie. AND a donut!

Uh oh. Me and Bailey are really, really bad.

Me and Bailey had a big fight last night and when Mommy and Daddy tried to break us up, Bailey accidentally bit Daddy and ouched his finger so bad he had to go to the hospital and have the doctor sew it up.

This is what happened: Mommy and Daddy went to the airport to get Grandma home from her adventure in Alaska, and when they got back from the airport we were so happy to see them that we got very excited and then got into a fight. Me and Bailey have big fights. It is scary. I don't know why we fight like that. We don't hate each other that much.

But sometimes we just lose our minds and when our minds come back we are all sweaty and one of us is bleeding. Last night, though, poor Daddy got hurt. There was blood everywhere. Blech. And I got a big bunch of fur yanked out and it hurts. And Bailey ouched her paw.

So now we have to get some super emergency help from Miss Sherri on how to manage our behavior. And Dr. Hawkins said that we can call her anytime if we need help, too. Dr. Hall is having Bailey take medicine to help her ouchy hips and make her not so "hot". She's a hot devil dog.

It's a very good thing that we have Miss Sherri and Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Hall to help us out. Otherwise Bailey would be on a bus to the pound and probably end up having to take a long sleep. You know what that means.

Except Mommy and Daddy think that Bailey is not bad. She just has a hard time understanding what to do when she gets mad. Plus she has ouchy hips, so if you touch her sometimes she gets growly. Most families would not put up with a naughty dog like that. But our family has a lot of time to help a dog like Bailey, even if it costs fortyleventeen million dollars and makes us broke and tired.

Bailey told me she is very worried that Mommy is going to leave her again, like she did when me and  Mommy went to BlogPaws. And that makes her very stressed all the time. Bailey said she doesn't want to be bad but something happens in her noggin and she can't help it.

So we are going to try and help Bailey not be a devil dog and me not to fight back when Bailey gets so mad at me. And we also have to wait on poor Daddy with his hurt paw. Plus, Bailey will probably get a visit from the dog police and have to be under house arrest for a seventyleven days.

There has been a lot of crying and ouching and bleeding going on over here this week and it's only Monday.

Your pal

Tails of Success and other fantastic treats

Bailey had to go see her friends from Pitty Love Rescue today because she needed a shot. So Mommy said I could come along.

Yay! Adventure day!

Me, Mommy and Bailey went to see Lindsay and Darcy at Tails of Success. This is not the same Lindsay that I am in love with at Camp Bow Wow. This is a different Lindsay. And Tails of Success is a different romping place for dog. Remember? Me and Scout went there for their "Hey, we're opening up!" party. We sniffed some dogs and ate some stuff and had some good times.

I love romping. Scout does not like romping parties. That's why today he stayed home with Murphy.

Anyway, today me and Bailey had one whole hour of mad fantastic romps! The first thing you do when you have a romping party is sniff everyone's butts.


Your butt end is your last name.



And your front end is your first name!

Then you just start running! Running and running and running! And wrestling, and sometimes even barking.



Lily, me and Fiona

You know that if you are blurry in the romping party pictures you are having a great time.

 

Bailey stopped to say hi to Darcy so she didn't feel left out


You run and run and run until your tongue hangs out, and then you all go and drink up all the water in the dog bowls, and then you run some more until your mommy says it is time to go home.

Then we went to see Amanda at Country Max to buy a dog crate but it was about fortyleven thousand hundred cents so Mommy said we would wait. And then we went home.

And then guess what happened? Mommy gave us puppies a super surprise: bones from the fridge! They are real bones and they are the greatest treats in the whole world. We can thank Darcy for talking Mommy into that treat.

So today was a great day. A better great day that I have had in a long time.

You should go to Tails of Success for your next romping party. They are really nice there and they don't care if you pee on the floor. Mommy says we can alternate between Camp Bow Wow and Tails so we can have even more friends!

It's great to be a dog.

Scout and Bandit go to a party

Today was a romping party at Tails of Success.

Me and Scout got to go to a party today for Tails of Success. They are celebrating their new big, giant dog school, so Mommy went so she can write about it on the BarkAroundTown.com blog. But dogs can also go there to romp with their friends!

Today was a romping party. There was a table with lots of treats, but you should know that it was not a buffet. You were supposed to wait til your mommy gave you a treat. Even if you already had your head in the biscuit basket and picked out a few for yourself, you couldn't eat them til your mommy said it was OK.

Scout doesn't like romping parties too much. He sniffed a few butts but it was too noisy and busy. He doesn't like it at our regular romping place either. I sniffed some butts today, too, but I was more interested in all of the food. It's a good place to go romp with your friends. They have lots of room to run and happy people who work there.

Mommy needs to learn how to take pictures faster.

We didn't stay for a long time because Scout wanted to GO! RIGHT! NOW! and I was messing up all of the tables, but I had lots of fun. And we got to take home some tasty cupcake treats from A Barker's Dozen. We ate them in the car.

Then me and Scout went home and wrestled for a while, and then I barked for a while for no reason. It was a good day.

Love,
Bandit
