Saturday's Pup Having Fun

Fiction Friday ... by Ray!

Write Anything - Fiction Friday: Pick your favorite movie monster (vampire, werewolf, etc) and give it a makeover. (write for 5 minutes.)

Lincoln, knew what was expected: run around during full moons, howling and biting humans. She was a werewolf. She was born a werewolf ... unlike some werewolves who were bitten by werewolves during a full moon.... and became werewolves at the summer solstice. (She was so tired of dodging the myths surrounding her.) But that is a story for another day. Lincoln had a more pressing problem ... she was a werewolf who did not like eating meat. Lincoln liked broccoli, apples, cheese... ...CHOCOLATE and rich BUTTERCREAM FROSTING! YUM!! Just thinking about it, started a longing .... a craving, you could say! But werewolves were not a welcome sight at the local bakery. Bakers and their customers, were too afraid of being bitten. If only! For years Lincoln had endured peer pressure, family pressure: You Are a Werewolf! You Must Eat Meat! Shooed out the door as a young werewolf, with the admonition - GO - Bite Someone! EAT!

Lincoln's best friend Thunder, while a definite fan of meat -- was the only one who never pressured Lincoln to eat anything she did not like. Even meat! Live and let live, was Thunder's motto. (Not a motto usually ascribed most people, let alone werewolves.) From time-to-time, Thunder even managed to procure for Lincoln, delicious pieces of pilfered dark chocolates and slices of devil's food cake smothered in buttercream frosting.

Thunder understood that her friend was not made from the same mold as other werewolves. What caused the difference, did not matter .... all that mattered was Lincoln was her friend. If she did not like eating meat... no big deal. Just meant more meat for Thunder when Lincoln was around! All good!

Remembering the early days .... just beginning as a Puppy-Assistance-Dog-In-Training

This is my paw .... just waving good night! Yawn..... ZZZzzzzzzzzzz.........
Time for a quick nap! Mom took lots of pics of me when I was just a little kid! Wonder who ate the face off my tiger? Sure wasn't me!!!
Yep, this is it! A clicker! I just KNOW this gadget means good things are coming my way!!

Early in my life in Maryland.... coming out of an appointment Mom had .... I hung out, looked cute, learning about the sound a clicker makes, when I do something, like "sit" or "lay down" or even "look" at Mom ..... Mom "clicks" and gives me a treat.
This is Erin, she's the puppy coordinator at Fidos For Freedom, Inc., I'm the puppy she's holding upside down. Guess what, she's also "testing" me ... yep, I pass! Flying Colors!! :-)
Me, my first week here, exploring the puppy training room, (also called the agility room at Fidos For Freedom). I'm just 8 weeks old here.

Early days ... reminiscing ... big word for a pup! (means I'm remembering how it all started...)
Here are some pics of my first outings, and some of the first people I met as I was out and about in Maryland... Laurel, College Park, Silver Spring ..... I meet adults, children, other animals....
I saw the movie !UP! I've gone to Seibel's .... YUM! (altho, what am I saying? I don't eat there! But mom and her friends do!) She says they have yummy ice cream ... her fav flavors are chocolate chip and peppermint. My favorite flavor is ....hmmm.... BISON! ha-ha! Mom saw some bison a couple of weeks ago... but that's another story ... hang on ... we will get to it ... but first... some of the earliest pics of my life in Maryland...

Vacation Home!

Just little ol' me, vacationing with Joanne and Rick, while Mom goes to see WOLVES. ArrroooOOO! That's how wolves sound when they howl. Can you hear them? Mom says she heard them, and even howled along. Way to go Mom! AaaaRRrrrooOOOOO~ I can howl too!

I had a blast at Joanne's and Rick's house! Pretty yard ... lots of room to run, flowers to smell.
I loved zooming around the yard, zoom-zooming around the house! Played like I was a racehorse, galloping FAST! I heard somebody say, when I run, that sometimes I run just like a bunny rabbit! Hmmmm..... Bunny Rabbit? I CHASE bunny rabbit if I see it first!

Whadda ya think? I think purple looks good on me! That's why I've got a purple collar!



This is one terrific place to be on vacation!

A yard, flowers, tree, what more could a puppy want?!?
