Thanks Auntie Claudia

Ray was in Hawaii a bit ago and Auntie Claudia sent home a fancy bandana for Hilde! Here are some pictures of Hilde in her Hawaii bandana.

The way of the Hilde

Hilde in a nutshell. Why walk on dry pavement when there is a river in the gutter? Because. That's why.

entertaining Hilde

Ray is out of town for a while. I am trying to wear Hilde out and it is really wearing me out. Usually Ray and I tag team. I am morning and day time person. Ray is evening and night person. Here are some pictures of our escapades.



We found a sand pile at the park. Hilde pounced on it. Raced up and down it. She also was Queen of the Hill(de).

Here she is with her prancy paws.

Executing a perfect down dog.

Frozen dog....

Tired Dog

Here is Hilde after the day of Hilde. She opened her eyes because she heard the camera. Otherwise she was passed out.

The day of Hilde

Today is the one year anniversary of the day we lost Hilde's sister Anu. We wanted to make it a happy puppy day to honor Anu. So today is the day of Hilde! We got up this morning and went to the Caribou drive through. Hilde got a lovely cookie. Then we went to St. Paul to walk down river road. We spent about an hour walking. Then we came home and Hilde got a Greenie. Now Hilde is sitting on the couch with us eating a giant tendon chew. After nap time Hilde is going to Chuck and Don's. We are also hoping her friends will come out, so she can have some puppy play time.




Here is Hilde waiting for Ray to find his cell phone so we can get going.



Here is Hilde sniffing-- city sniffs!!!

Hilde spent much of the walk sniffing. So many new smells.

Here is Hilde cruising along. Look at her fancy walk with her paw up.

This is one happy dog.

Hilde's weekend

Hilde did some of her usual things this weekend. We went to Chuck and Don's for cat food and dog Greenies. We weigh Hilde when we go as we are trying to keep her weight managed. She weighed 78 pounds. She looks leaner, but her weight is going up. We probably are going to see the vet for some ideas.

Here is Hilde sniffing out the goods. She picked a goose toy.

Here is Hilde and her goose toy. She has already ripped a hole in it! I wonder if they make titanium dog toys.
