A Long Weekend Lucy-Style!

I always get super-woofy excited for long weekends...it means an extra day with Dad and Mom home! They know that a tired doggie is a happy doggie, so they spend lots of weekend time attempting to tire me out :) I pretend that they have somtimes, just to make them feel good! Actually, they did a pretty good job of keeping me busy this weekend...

Friday: Pack the car; head off for canoe shopping and camping. Turns out they found the canoe of their dreams in Toronto and nixed the camping in Huntsville as they didn't need to go up there to canoe shop anyway. Road trips always make me sleepy, especially when we get back home late...

Saturday: Early morning frisbee session! Ran into my buddy Goliath at the school and chased the spinny thing around the field for 45 minutes. Yay! Breakfast followed by a morning nap. Just a day "off" today, so I could catch up on my beauty rest for the next couple days. A visit from Rosie (Mike and Andrea's 12 week old chocolate lab...all the humans keep saying how cute she is, but she always jumps on my head and tries to steal all my toys...) in the afternoon. Country walk in the evening. Not tired yet....come on people!

Sunday: Okay, getting a bit more tired :) 23.5 km run with Mom and Dad in the morning, including a mid-run swim. Sent the humans off to church while I had a dance party with Pumpkin and Gooberette (the stuffed bear comes alive when no one is home!). The humans thought I was sleeping the whole time they were away...yeah, right! Off to try out the new canoe in the afternoon, followed by more swimming. I look like such a dork in my life jacket...

Mom and Dad had another 8.5 km of running to do in the evening...I really wanted to go, but my fur coat doesn't work so well in the heat. Maybe if I had an ice vest? Dragged the humans around the neighborhood for a walk later in the evening.

Monday: A bit of long-run tiredness, but still up for frisbee at 7:15 am! 45 minutes of frisbee to take the edge off, then sent the humans for a 3.5 hour bike ride. Dance party #2 of the weekend while they were away :) Then...oh boy oh boy...a walk up to the apple orchard to pick the first apples of the fall! A 2 hour round trip...with something REALLY yummy to roll in at the orchard!



Another hour walk in the country with Rosie to end the day....officially tired doggle :) Life is sooo tough...
