No Monsters Day!

Yippee!  It's No Monsters Day!  I know because Mom and Dad are sleeping too long and it's nice and quiet, just the way I like it.  I love No Monsters Day!  I have to try and wake up Mom.  I'll go over and wuffle her face.   wuffle, snuffle, wuffle   Oh, no!  She just rolled over....  Ok, I'll go whimper over on Dad's side.  hmmmmmmph.  hmmmmmmpph.  Oh, boy!  It worked!  They're getting up.  Yay!  I can't wait to go outside!

Ahhhh, today I can take a BIG walk.  No monsters!  I can sniff and sniff.  I can stop and smell the roses.  I can walk by the stream and chase some squirrels.  I can stick my nose in a bush and -!!! Hey!  Hey, Bird!  You startled me!  

Let's go all around the BIG block today!  I can hear the little dogs barking at me from inside.  Yep, this is my favorite day!  No Monsters Day!  Tail up and wagging!

Whatever happened to Harry before he was rescued left him forever afraid of large vehicles, especially noisy ones, like garbage trucks or ambulances.  To him, they are monsters and can do nothing but frighten and harm.  Sunday mornings are, by contrast to other days, very quiet.  There are no recycle or garbage trucks, no large delivery trucks, no mail trucks.  It is the one day a week that he loves to go for a long morning walk through the neighborhood.

Oh, Boy! Giant Dog Park!

Where we goin'?  Where?  Where?  OH, I smell it, I smell it!! The dog park?  No, it's the GIANT dog park!!!  I love this place!   Oh, boy!  I get to sniff around, and sniff around and even rub noses with the dogs.  They are the biggest dogs I've ever seen!

There is a regular dog park where I go inside the fence and run around and play with other dogs like me.  These are the GIANT dogs.  They seem very gentle and nice, but I can't go inside the fence with them.  We just rub noses.  They like carrots.  I like carrots, too!

We walk ALL around the giant dog park.  There's other things in there too, like this funny looking guy.  He looks angry, I think I'll stay away from him....

Oh, look!  Puppies!

 

 

Wow! That was a big walk.  Back to the car, time to go home.  Fun!

 

 

 

 

Harry does love the park, whether it is the dog park or the enclosed area where there are deer, goats, geese and a peacock.  The deer are allowed to have carrots, which is one of Harry's favorite treats.  They are used to people and come right up.  They like Harry, perhaps because he is also gentle and sweet.   It was a beautiful day to take a walk in the park!



Harry is camera shy.....

Oh, boy!  I have a blog!   This is great!   I have a book, too!   Who would've thought?  What a lucky dog I am!   Let me show you around......

This is my couch.  I love my couch, I can rest my head on the sides or stretch out or snuggle up!  That's me on my couch!

 

 

That's my bowls for breakfast and suppertime!  There I am getting some water.  I LOVE suppertime!  After suppertime I go on a walk and if I'm lucky I'll see Daisy, my friend.

 

That's me in my bed, that's where I sleep at night until the sun comes up and then I jump up in bed with Mom and Dad until it's time for a walk and breakfast.

 

Here I am in the living room.  Don't take my picture, Mom, pleeeeaaaaassseeee.

 

What?  There's no dog in the picutres?  Yes there is, or was.  Although Harry was having his picture taken, he managed to run away quickly enough so that only the tip of his tail appears in the picture of his bed.  Harry is afraid of having his picture taken and cannot stand flashing lights in a camera, on a police car or even in a TV commercial.  They frighten him terribly.  That is why his book is illustrated (by Alyx Weaver).  Sometimes, on a bright, sunny day or if he is deeply, sound asleep, though, it is possible to see the REAL Harry Spotter!
