Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
I am writing to report that I've decided that Cyrus is okay. I can do All The Walks with my person anymore, and while I very much want to, Cyrus is filling in for me. He's turning out to be a pretty good pack mate.
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
Last night we went on a Special Walk! This is a Special Place that I have been to many times, but it was the first time for Cyrus!
I will share some pictures!
Here is ME with my person!
And here we both are with Grandma!
We would like to do this Special Walk at this Special Place again soon!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
In celebration of my 13th Gotcha Day, which is coming up in a few weeks, my person asked something called A-Eye to make a picture of what I looked like as a puppy!
I don't remember what I looked like! Do you think this might be ME, friends?
My person doesn't know how old I was when I came home, but this is what I looked like way back then.
And this is ME now!
Pee Ess My person said that she used both Mr. ChatGPT and Mr. Gemini for my puppy picture!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
We had a very Very Happy Walk today!
So we did a Walk that our person and I remembered from a very long time ago!
I don't think we've done this Walk since Cobi was with us! And Cyrus has never done this Walk!
We walked through the fields with grass and flowers and critters! We walked through the forest with faerie rings and old trees!
I zoomed, friends! I zoomed like I haven't zoomed in many years!
And Cyrus zoomed like I used to when I was young!
We have decided. We would like to do this Walk again. Soon.
Thank-you-please!
(You can't say no to this face, can you?)
Do you have a zoomie Walk place, friends?
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
This is MY mat! Cyrus has his own spot! But for some reason, he likes to share MY spot!
Does anyone try to share your spot, friends?
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
This is us in Spring!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
We went on one my favourite Walks! To do this Walk, first we drive to Grandma's house, and then we start walking into Forest. There are trails! There are critters!
And Grandma came, too!
I found this patch of plants to lie in! (It was HOT, friends! And the plants were cool on my fur.) (But don't worry, I didn't squish any!)
Our person thought we looked very nice in the plants! She did pawtraits!
This is ME!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
Today Cyrus and I had a conversation. We talked about squirrels! And Dogs! And snacks from the humans!
And Walks and cats and leashes and comfy beds and small young humans!
And whether, when we find animal poop, it's best to roll in it, pee on it, or eat it! (I say all three are best!)
Cyrus asked me if his stick was the same as a tree. I said I wasn't sure. But does it matter?
Do you ever have conversations, friends?
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
Today was Beach Day!!!!
I haven't had Beach Day since before Cyrus came! And Cyrus has never had Beach Day! This was his First Beach Day Ever!
(Our person says that she was waiting for the following things: for the weather to be nicer, and for Cyrus to be a good enough listener that he will leave Dead Beach Things alone when asked!)
(And yes, we did find a few Dead Beach Things! Hurray for Dead Beach Things!)
We found seaweed! We found dead crabs! (Yum!) We found sticks!
By accident, Cyrus followed a Dog into the deep water! He got wet all over! He found this very strange!
For us Dogs, it was a day of lovely smells! For our person, it was a day of lovely sights
(If you look closely at the picture below friends, you can see Esquimalt and the City of Victoria on the horizon! And if you look very very closely, you can see Mount Baker behind the tall buildings!)
(But we weren't looking, we were smelling!)

This was the Best Walk Ever! Hurray for Beach Day!
Hurray for Beach Day!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
My person and Cyrus are playing a game! There is a toy tied to a rope! It flies around Yard! Cyrus catches it and tugs it!
He likes this game very much!
Me, I just try to stay out of the way!!
Do you like to tug, friends? Have you ever tried toy-on-a-rope?
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
It's springtime, friends!
We are spending lots of time outside. Here are some pictures of Cyrus that my person thinks are cute.
What about pictures of ME?
What's your weather doing, friends?
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
Cyrus really seems to like his crate-dens. Since Nature is making rain today, I thought I would try them. I tried the one in the office, and I tried the one in the bedroom, but I don't know what the big deal is. They seem kind of boring to me...
Do you like crate-dens, friends?
Pee Ess I used to sleep in a crate-den all the time. But now I sleep on the Bed in the spare room. I have earned this privilege because I am old, friends. But also because I behave very nicely at night!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
We took Cyrus to the Lagoon!
And then we spent a long time in a big field that had flowers in it! And mice! And bunnies!
Then we went home, and Cyrus turned himself into a Very Small Ball for the rest of the afternoon!
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
This was an accident.
I accidentally lay too close to Cyrus.
And then Cyrus rolled over and accidentally cuddled me.
This was purely an accident.
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
We live in a place where the weather is MUD for more than half of the year.
I am a Black Dog. My fur hides the mud.
Cobi was a Brown Dog. Her fur hid the mud. (Except for her paws, which were light and always told on her when she'd been wading in mud puddles.)
Pepper was a Black Dog. His fur hid the mud.
But Cyrus is a Mostly-White Dog.
What was our person thinking???
(Our person says that Cyrus has a coat like a silken windhound, which means that his coat is like something called teflon... whatever that is. When he dries, all the mud falls off!)
(Our person also says that this is why we have the weird-vacuum-robot-thing that goes around the house in circles, sucking up the dirt and mopping the floors!)
Hi hi hi! Ojo here!
He's touching ME? No, that can't be right. How did that happen?
Wait! It happened AGAIN?
And AGAIN?!?
How is this happening, friends!??
