Doggles

Dear world,

I always see humans wearing sunglasses. I was told it is to protect their eyes and make it easier to see in the sun. I asked my mom if I could wear sunglasses. So she went into the closet and pulled out doggles for me and BunnyBell. I have no idea why they were in the closet! Anyway, BunnyBell and I went outside with our doggles and we agreed it helped with the glare. However, we also agreed we did not like them. She pawed them off. I kept them on since I was getting a lot of attention. And don't you think I look cool?

Love always,

North beach photo shoot

Dear world,

Since the south side of the beach has a lot of Springbreakers, we decided to do the north side yesterday. And it was fairly empty. We hadn't been there in awhile. My mom forgot how beautiful it was. So of course, that meant photo shoot. She even made me model in the ocean! Next, she will probably want to take underwater pictues, but she needs underwater equipment. Actually, she can probably use the camera that fell in the toilet bowl. It is obviously waterproof. It took these pictures!

Love always,

Spring Break

Dear world,

We usually don't see too many people on the beach except in the summer. But this past week, it has been Spring Break. So there are lots of extra people taking up lots of space which makes it hard to peacefully take our beach walks. So while my mom gets annoyed, I like it. Even more people come over and pet me and tell me how handsome and wonderful I am. And anyway, isn't my life at the beach just like one big Spring Break?

Love always,

A Blackberry for me?

Dear world,

A few weeks ago, when my mom's phone fell in the ocean, she went to get a new phone. She got a Black Blackberry. (that is a bit redundant.) But there were 2 phone boxes in the bag. She did not take the other one out but I saw it. Do you think it is a surprise for me? My birthday is not coming up until September. I wonder what I would do with a Blackberry. My paws are way too big. Maybe I could sell it on eBay.

Love always,

Life Before Chuckits!

Dear world,
Tourists often ask my mom about our chuckit!. I can't believe not everyone knows about these things. My mom picks up the ball with it, and then throws it out real far. It is particularly important at the beach. If she didn't have it I wouldn't have very far to go for the ball because she throws like a girlie girl. (My dad doesn't really need to use one). Anyway, I am glad I was born after chuckits were invented.

Love always,

Happy Birthday Drew

Dear world,

Today is my human nephew Drew's birthday. He is now two years old. When he visited last summer he liked throwing the ball to me. So I suggested to my mom that we get him a case of tennis balls for his birthday. My mom didnt think that was a good idea. She said that would be a present for me. So I thought, yeah, so?

Well, Mom ended up getting him a scooter. Maybe he will bring it with him when he visits and let me ride it. I can't wait to see him!

Love always,

Junior Lifeguard

Dear world,
I had an idea yesterday that maybe I could stay longer in California. As I was passing lifeguard headquarters at the beach I thought, what if I applied to be a lifeguard? There are always more lifeguards in the Spring and Summer, so I think they may have at least one opening. I have excellent swimming skills, even in the highest waves, so no problem there. I am a big strong dog so a person can just hold on to me and I can swim them in to shore. I could bark at people that are not obeying regulations. Yes, I think I would make a good lifeguard. Ok, maybe Junior Lifeguard. Oh yeah. And aren't lifeguards chic magnets?

Reward Training

Dear world,

Mom puts things in her jacket pockets and they fall out. Up until last week, it would be poop bags. But last week, her cellphone fell in the ocean. Then a few days ago, her camera fell in the toilet bowl. Her pockets are very small and she always worries that things will fall out. So I don''t understand why she continues to put things in those pockets. Maybe she needs reward training. If I offer her a treat, do you think she will stop putting things in her pockets?

Love always,

Mountain top

Dear world,

The other day we went to a place called Elfin Forest. My mom thought it would be a pretty hike to do with me and Bunnybell. As we started the hike a man coming down asked if the little black dog (Bunnybell) was going. He said it was pretty steep. Did that give Mom a clue? Of course not. We kept on hiking up and up and up to what seemed like forever. Bunny and I were EXHAUSTED. Along the way people kept telling us we were almost at the top...but we kept climbing. So finally we got there. Mom made Bunny and me pose on top of picnic tables to get the pretty scenery. And after a few minutes, she said, ok , lets go back down. We hiked up 1.5 miles to 1200 ft just to go back down 1.5 miles? Help me here, what exactly is the point?

Love always,

Dancing with the Dogs

Dear world,

Dancing with the Stars is on tonight. It looks like fun to do all those different dances. When my mom dances, I follow her around. Sometimes she holds my paws and dances with me. It must be great to have cool costumes and get applause. I wonder when they are going to do Dancing with the Dogs. I would love to be a contestant and dance with Cheryl Burke!

Love always,

Pee Mail

Dear world,

My mom got a bit annoyed with me yesterday on our walk. She didn't have much time and I kept on stopping. Well it was Saturday, a big day for pee-mail. Humans say we are marking our territory. Pulease. It is pee-mail. Why can't they understand, it is quite simple. We sniff to "read" our new mail and we pee to "write" our new mail. That is how we keep in contact with our friends. Sorry Mom, I cant help it if I am so popular.

Love always,

Happy Birthday Sis!

Dear world,

Today is my human sister Sydne's birthday. She is a pretty, smart and stylish as is her dog BunnyBell. And Sydne is so in the know about all the trends. She even has her own popular fashion blog http://www.thinkthrufashion.com/. So I guess we have that blogging gene in common . Even though we are siblings, I did not get her love of shoes gene and she did not get my love of pizza gene. (Our mom loves both!) So that means no pizza party. Bummer. Maybe we can have pizza for BunnyBell's birthday next month?

Love always,

Bear
