Dorie (Volando Olvera): 5/26/22 - Picnic Fun!

 Oh. My. Gosh. I did something so much fun this past weekend? I just have to tell you about it!

I went to the Reunion Picnic for Greyt Expectations!

First? I laid down on my blankie under the shade tent. And I napped. Then? I went down to the water by the river (all fenced in) and crashed in the water for a while to cool off and enjoy the water. Then, I went back to my blankie and napped some more. There were other dogs running all over the place like crazy pups (all fenced). I got up and ran like 50 feet - then - you guessed it - went and napped some more.

This is me napping on my blankie in the shade!

Picnics tire this puppy out!

We all had a great time - you should have seen all the doggies having a great time running around! Thanks to absolutely everyone who made it such a fun day 😀

Oh, you didn't believe me about all the napping I did?

Snoozing away, thank you very much!

Do not disturb!

I hear we're going to meet soon! I'll see you then...

Love and Houndie Kisses,
Dorie






Dorie (Volando Olvera): 5/4/22 - Let's talk Skills!

 Hi Everyone! It's me, Dorie, here again with more to talk about.

Everyone is good at something or things, right? Like basketball, for instance! Let me just woof, I'm not good at basketball - but I do have other talents!

First - LOVE. I'm really good at both getting and giving love. You can rub my tummy, my ears, or whatever.

Second? CUDDLING or NAPPING. See below for evidence...


Lying on Auntie Kate's feet with her blankie.

Next - OFFICE MATE. Oh boy am I good at this one! I sleep most of the day in Auntie Kate's office while she's on video meetings. The big poofy bed in her office is super!

ZZZzzzzzZZZzzz...

Next - OBEDIENCE. You betcha! I know SIT and DOWN, and I'm good at STAY, too. 

Lastly - The only thing I'm not good at? Small dogs and cats - they're just a nope for me. And basketball 😀

How about you? What cool skills do you have?


Love and Nose Bumps,

Dorie
