To Boca Chica!

Mom has been wanting to take me to the beach but it is not easy getting anywhere when she does not have a car and the stupid guaguas do not permit dogs. Don’t they know I am a very special dog!?

Anyhow, my friend Juan Carlos who has a taxi business called JC Taxi, said he would take us in his taxi. We picked up Mamita, my moms great friend, and we were off. I have not been in a car for a long time and I was a little afraid to get in but once we started on our way I was enjoying it.

When we got to the beach I was so enjoying the sand on my toes. I think I come from beach dogs because it just felt so right to be there. I am a Caribbean dog.

I went to the water and bounced around there for a few minutes with mom but I need to work my way into getting used to it. It was fun and I can’t wait to really get into some swimming sometime soon.

We checked things out and I got to take in all the beach smells. There were a few local dogs trying to check me out but the man that takes care of the chairs liked me and he made those doggies go away. I felt very special.

Then we decided to eat. Mom and Mamita got fish. It smelt so good. Mom shared some of hers with me.

Then she had to play with the ugly fish head. She can be so silly at times. She told me I had to kiss the fish head. I did it just to get her and that nasty fish head out of my face. Moms…..whats a Teli to do with them…? hehe..

After we ate we decided to rest a bit. I had to be on the lounge chair. Me and mom were fighting for the top of the chair. We decided that i would get it some of the time and she would. We had to be fair.

There was this family in front of us. The one lady just could not stop looking at me. I had an admirer. She was really nice and she even came over and patted me on the head.

The sun started going down. We were getting tired and it was time to go home. Mamita was checking out the area. I like Mamita. She is a little afraid of me but I went over and laid beside her and she pet me. I think she likes me too.

When we left there was all this noise. The quad people were revving their engines. I do not understand why humans like all that noise. I will never understand noisy humans. But mom had to hold me for a little bit because I started shaking. I tried to be brave but it was just too much. But then Juan Carlos brought the car around and I felt safe when we got inside.

I had a great day. I really like the beach. I was amazed when I peed in the sand and it disappeared right away. I liked that. I also liked the fish. I enjoyed the attention I got when people saw me laying on moms lounge chair, especially when I was hiding under the towel, and they did not expect to see me on the chair. Everyone treated me really nice. But, it sure was nice getting back home where I know I am safe. I do want to go to the beach again soon.

Spinner Cover Joke

I pulled a funny on my mom today.

She was doing laundry and when she was not looking I stole the plastic cover for the spinner. I took it to the bed and waited to see how long it took her to ask me where it was.

I could hear her out there moving the machine to see underneath. I heard her looking all around. She was even asking herself (yes, she sometimes talks to herself which took me a little getting used to – don’t tell her I shared that bit of information please)where it could have gone.

I was laying in the bed holding the cover waiting. I was really enjoying this.

Finally she came into the bedroom to get more clothes and there I was. Thank goodness she laughed and did not get angry with me. My joke worked! I’ll have to think of more jokes to pull on her now and just hope she thinks they are equally as funny.

My Birthday – I Am 2

My birthday is on April 1. Mom told me it is April Fools Day and I think that is pretty funny that I was born on a day when so many humans have fun. I am just glad to be two years old.

I can even say how old I am, barking of course. I am not that good that I can talk like a human at least not yet. Mom took the video to prove it to my family and friends.

Mom greeted me in the morning, after our morning walk with a big cow foot bone. She also had to put some paper hat on my head. I took it off the first time but mom put it back on. She said it was just for a few pictures so I decided to endure it for her and her pictures.

I stuck my tongue out at mom because she made me endure the hat. I did not think she saw it but it showed up on this picture. I was caught!

We went out for our Sunday Walk-About but I really did not feel like walking too much. I just was not in the mood this week.

We ended up running into my friend Chino and he was so happy tat it was my birthday he wanted a picture taken with me. He also gave me some ham.

Then we walked a little more. I kept turning toward home but mom was heading the opposite direction. She told me we would go to one more park then home. It was OK because I have some friends there and I was thinking they would probably give me a birthday present.

Two of the girls were there. They wished me Feliz CumpliaƱos by giving me a big red flower to wear. The picture did not show the flower stuck in my collar.

After visiting with them we came home. Mom wanted to take me out to a restaurant to eat but I did not feel like it. Mom did as I wished and we came home. I wanted to eat my bone and relax near the fan. I had a great birthday.

Walk-About March 25, 2012

I love my Sunday Walk-Abouts. Mom gets her stuff done in the house early and we hit the streets around 11 or 12. She always tells me I can pick the direction. I always head down the same roads and go to the same places. I am a doggie of habit. So she has to take control and we set off.

This time we headed up the hill to China Town.

The big statues frightened me at first but I got used to them. Maybe because they were giant cats. Cats do not make me nervous but if I saw a cat this size I would run away…
China Town Santo Domingo
I am getting very brave.

We were walking near the Mercado Modelo. On Sunday there are not hardly any cars or people on this street so I am feel relaxed and calm. The only problem was that some big dog fell in love with me and was following me around. Every time we looked at him he turned his head pretending he was not following us.

Then we went past the Fire Station. The Bomberos were outside and they were not very friendly but I did get my picture taken near the old firetruck sitting outside.

We went to Parque Independencia so I could see where the founding fathers of Dominican Republic are honored.

Then we walked to the Door of the Count or Puerta del Conde.

The guard was nervous because I was standing too close. He was afraid of me, The Dominican Dog. Imaging that. But he finally let me have a picture taken with him and he even patted my head when he realized I was nice.

Then we went to a Colmado. I got some ice and mom got a beer. We also got a little cheese cheese to munch on. I like Colmados as much as my mom does.

Then we headed toward home stopping in moms park, Parque San Jose to visit her old neighbors for a little bit. I just jumped up on the bench next to mom, laid down and relaxed. I was just watching the pigeons and the people passing by because I was tired out after our long walk.

Now next Sunday April 1st is my birthday. Wonder where we will go walking to then…
