Awesome Weather!

I love to run. It may be my favorite thing. Well a close second to a peanut butter filed Kong. But anyway, this summer has been rough (ruff). It's been really hot. While I don't really mind, and I still go, I really wears me out. I prefer the cool weather. But today was great! Maybe 80 degrees, maybe even a little cooler. I hung out in the nice weather most of the day. Never really expected to do much else.

Daddy decided to take me out for a run around 5:00. It was a huge surprise. Hanging out all day on the deck, I never even saw him put his shoes on! That was close call, he could have left without me!

We took our normal route. Saw a few friends along the way. A couple of them got in trouble from their parents for barking at me real loud from the back yard. But it was nice to see them.

Got home and just relaxed. Took up a nice spot on the couch. Until I got caught. Then back to the floor. So not fair.

I'm back!

I've been away for a while. Its mommy and daddy's fault. They caught me up really late one night on chatting on MySpace with my friends. They didn't even know I had a MySpace page! So they were pretty upset. Grounded from the computer since March! So unfair!

Back to my running. Daddy was home for a while this afternoon. He and mommy are leaving for New York tomorrow. Daddy said he would take me for a run before he took me to daycare. I was totally pumped! A run followed by daycare (for 4 days), life is great!

So we ran. It was hot. I panted a lot. But it was fun. I saw this other dog running. I wasn't impressed - he pulled on his leash. I'm not usually stuck up, but I strutted by anyway. I think he thought I was pretty cute.

Well, off to daycare I go. I'll post back next week.

So...Tired....

I got to go to day care today. It was awesome. I ran around all day with other dogs. How cool is that?

I got home and my people were getting ready to go run without me. Somehow I forgot that I was exhausted and asked to go with them (OK, I forced myself on them). The obliged.

After a couple miles, I was wiped. By mile 5, I could barely keep up. It was awesome.

I'm going to sleep now.

Late night run

Tonight mommy and daddy took me for a 4 mile run. I was kinda crazy tonight. I kept barking for them to play with me and to wear me out. They sucked, so I was bad (that sometimes works in my favor, so I was willing to take the gamble). Sure enough, they took me for a run.

Bunny season

Its spring! Which means the bunnies are out. We have bunnies all around our house. I chase them. I usually don't catch them (I did once, but that is a story for another day), but I have fun anyway.

So today, the bunnies were all around our deck. They were even under it. I scraped at the deck trying to get at them. I'd bark. I'd run inside and outside. I was just going crazy thinking of all those bunnies! This made mommy and daddy mad.

So finally, at about 5:00, after daddy finished watching the basketball game, mommy convinced daddy to take me on a run. We ran 5 miles. It was awesome. I saw our bunnies when I left, and even more bunnies along the way. It was so cool.

Running with new people!

So my mommy took me to this place called the vet. It was kinda cool when everyone was giving me attention at first, but then this guy in a white coat came in. He was scary. I didn't like him, even though he kept giving me treats.

After we were done, mommy took me running. About a half-mile in, we met up with daddy and some other people running. We ran with them for like another mile. It was AWESOME! I lead the entire way. But then Mommy and I turned around and daddy and the other runners went on.

We finished with 3 miles. It was cold.

A 4 mile run with mommy and daddy

So I was all comfortable tonight and getting ready for bed and then I saw daddy and mommy getting dressed to go running. I had a suspicion that they weren't going to take me. And even though I was ready for bed, I wanted to go. So I cried. That always works. It was great. I love to run.

My first Blog Entry.

My name is Pavlov. My dad calls me Bell. I am a 2 year-old Chocolate Lab. I am a runner. This blog will be about my runs.

Today my dad took me for a 5 mile run. Here is a picture of us. I was a little mad at him earlier this morning, as he left running with one of his friends at about 7:30 this morning. Momma left at about 9:00, and they came running home about about 11:30 or so. Dad then took me for my run. Apparently he ran something called a "marathon" today. I want to do one of those some day.
