During Visiting Night Mommy got a phone call from our friend Lynn. She called to tell us that we finally are going to have a new yard! Our new yard has a new house in it AND a sign to water.

Soon Mommy took me to see my new yard. I was a little bit scared but Daddy was there too and helped me check out my new...

back yard and my new...

front yard! I can't wait to see what everything smells like and who I will get to meet in my new yard, but I know I'm going to miss my old yard and my friends like Buddy and Precious.

After we visited the dog park Mommy told me my friends came to visit while I was out for a walk. I don't know why but she said she didn't even recognize some of them! First she said a green friend, a red friend and a friend with a hat came to visit.

Next Miss Fay and Precious came to visit.

Then my friend Shasta came by and Mommy wasn't sure what she was wearing!

Soon I got home from my walk and Daddy came to visit. He was wearing his motorcycle clothes but didn't ride a motorcycle and I was a rocket!

When it was almost bedtime my green friend, my red friend and my not wearing a hat anymore friend came to visit again since I wasn't here the first time. I was really happy to see them because they like to play and eat pumpkin bread as much as I do!

If you live in Alabama don't forget to watch me tomorrow on Valley Happenings on Charter channel 80/21/51, Alabama Cable Network early in the morning!
Mommy and I went to the dog park and I looked and looked and didn't see any friends.

Then I turned around and suddenly I saw little friends, big friends, hairy friends and fast friends!

We played and played. We even played through the fence.

Then it was time for the big dogs to go home so we played one last game of chase. That's me flying through the air!

After we finished playing I hung out with my little friends. That's when I realized many of them were wearing funny things.

Then this lady dropped some treats but I couldn't find one.

So I asked for one but she was all out and I was sad.

I found a ball to play with but it wasn't a treat. Then Mommy told me it was time to go home and I would get a treat tonight! I wonder what it will be???!!!


I will be signing both my new book "I'm Not Sick!" and my first book "I've Been Picked!" at the Learning Tree in Gateway Shopping Center on 6th Avenue in Decatur tomorrow after school at 3:30. Hope to see you there!
Thursday morning Mommy and I have to wake up REALLY early because we're going to be on TV! The show is called Valley Happenings and it's on Alabama Cable Network (ACN) on Charter Cable around 7 a.m.
If you live near Athens, Alabama, come see me at the Athens-Limestone Public Library on E. South Street April 11 from 10:15-11:00 am!
After Dogtoberfest Mommy and I worked really hard on my new book. It's called "I'm Not Sick! Chopper's "Tails" of the Doctor". You can get your copy here:

When we took a break from writing Mommy made something that smelled REALLY good and she even gave me a lick of it! It was orange and gooey and SOO yummy I saved some in my beard.

Soon we took my book to see Dr. Raymond to make sure she liked it since she's the doctor! First Miss Paula read it.

Then Dr. Raymond read it and it made her smile so I wagged my tail. I like when my books make people smile!

After Dr. Raymond finished reading my book we went home and I found a surprise in my backyard. Can you see my surprise?

They had ears just as long as mine but theirs stuck straight up!

Mommy said we can't keep them because they are my neighbors' rabbits and they snuck out but Bella and Sofie would be really unhappy if I kept them so we called their Mommy and she came to get them. Now they get to live on a farm!
After my photoshoot Mommy and I put up my table so everyone at Dogtoberfest could see my books. I like sharing my books with people, but I REALLY like making new friends and Dogtoberfest was full of all kinds of friends!

I made a cuddly friend ...

an even hairier than me friend...

a four-wheeled friend ...

and a shy friend.

When I ran out of friends I took a break in the shade under the table before it was time to go home. Dogtoberfest was filled with friends AND we all helped out Carmichael Canine Corral! (The next Dogtoberfest is 20 October 2013)

After I got home and sniffed my backyard and took a nap in my living room Mommy told me I will have a new livingroom and backyard soon! We went shopping but not at a store...we went to a house, but we didn't buy it.

Then we went shopping at a store because I didn't have enough paper to finish my new book.

And we went to visit my friend Carol to take her and my friend John their cookbook from my dog park. (You can find out more about it here:
http://www.carmichaelcaninecorralassn.org/Default.aspx?pageId=1485076 )
John and Carol were on a stage singing with groovethangband.com/
I like to hear them play!

Then it was time for a photoshoot for a calendar and to get ready for Dogtoberfest. I've never been to a Dogtoberfest before but it sounds like lots of fun!

I'm Back!!!!
In the next few weeks I will let you know what I've been up to and about my new book. It's called "I'm Not Sick! Chopper's "Tails" of the Doctor" and it's all about my trips to the doctor for a check-up, shots, an x-ray and to help a scared friend. You can purchase it here for a special limited time price:

And now back to my blog...
After my friend Christine left to visit her other friend in Illinois I went to watch more motorcycles! They would be really loud when I first saw them looking this way...

then they would lean over when I turn this way...

and then they disappear when I turn this way!

I really like my front row seat on Grandpa's lap. It's a great place to watch motorcycles!

When all the bikes took a nap I hung out with Grandpa, Mommy, Veronica and Mike. They all like to watch motorcycles (and ride them) just like me!

Soon the motorcycles were racing around the track once more. This time when I looked one went KABOOM!

Then the air was all full of smoke.

Soon after the bike went KABOOM it was time to head home.

I said goodbye to my friend at the racetrack...

and all the motorcycles went to sleep.

Just like I did in Grandpa's truck on the way back to the hotel.

REALLY early the next morning it was time to go on the giant airplane again. I sat in Mommy's seat when she put her bag away...

and even tried to play with the big toys in the airport in a place called Las Vegas while we waited for our other airplane to pick us up.

I've had so much fun seeing lots and lots of motorcycles, friends and flying, but I'm ready to see my living room again and my backyard so I'm glad we're going home now.
