Fun Fall Hike

Kozmo enjoyed some off leash fun and a wonderful sunny weekend at his favorite place on earth. It was our last weekend at the lake until next season and we couldn't have asked for better weather or company. 

Birthday Love

My two favorite birthday greetings were sent by some of my favorite dogs. I'm so lucky to have so many humans and dogs in my life. It was a great birthday. Thanks to everyone who made it special.

Kozzy Finally Killed his Couch

It's been a long time coming....Kozmo finally destroyed his couch beyond any repair. As you can see in the photo he is very sorry. It was an accident. The stuffing was taunting him. RIP free couch you served me well for many years pre-Kozmo. 

Kozmo is full of remorse

The old ugly couch was finally hauled away by the trash man and Kozmo now has no furniture in his room. Someday, he can try another free couch.....

Saturday Evening Stroll

It was such a beautiful spring evening Kozmo and I hiked our favorite trail.

Traipsing Through the Woods

Saturday morning Kozzy and I met up with some of our dog park pals for a nice walk in the woods. Since it was spring gobbler season we were lucky enough to have a human who got us permission to walk on this private land. We had 4 humans, 8 dogs, lots of sunshine and smiles.

Kozmo and Sunny love to play together. Lexy's human got the best capture. She clicked the shutter at the exact instant where Kozmo is both smiling and looking crazy.

Luke and Kozmo finally meet

Since Kozmo came into my life my good friend has been enjoying Kozmo stories and can't believe that my first dog ended up being so full of energy. A very sweet coonhound named Luke has come into her life and before I had Kozzy's DNA tested my friend would often comment on the similarities of energy, intelligence and quirkiness between Luke and Kozmo. 

Our schedules are so busy and different that it took a while for these two dogs to meet. We finally had a sunny spring Sunday and decided to take the dogs for a long walk through the state game lands. It should be no surprise that as soon as both Kozmo and Luke were allowed off leash they found the grossest, smelliest water and jumped right in.

Gross dogs

Luke's human was a little worried to leave him off leash so Luke kept his leash on and before long had gathered up a large stick in his leash. We decided to leave it, figuring that the extra weight would help burn off some excess energy. Remember, a tired dog is a good dog. It didn't take long for Kozmo to see this stick as a toy and a very funny game of tug began.

After a several mile walk we returned to my friends deck for the humans to sit down and enjoy some beverages and snacks. As you can see from the video below, Luke and Kozmo were not even close to being tired and are perfectly matched in terms of size, energy, and playfulness. It was a good day.

Indestructible Toy - NOT!

I'm not sure how dog toy manufacturers test dog toys, but I am certain they don't have dogs like Kozmo on staff. Koz could have a very successful career testing toys. Because of his strong chewing tendencies I'm always skeptical when dog toys claim to be indestructible. I found this canvas and rope toy on sale and decided to give it a try. 

In less than 3 minutes the so called "indestructible" toy was destroyed and Kozmo was quite proud of himself. We are back to frozen Kong's and nylabones....

In a few short minutes he chewed through the indestructible toy

It's still fun to chew while the squeaker still works

Kozmo is so proud of his "kill"
