My name is Max and and I’m a Doberman Pinscher.
Welcome to my site. This is my first post.
It’s a hot April day and the sun has been cooking the pavement – too hot for a walk. I can’t find a single shade tree in this tiny yard to lounge under, so I’m stuck inside. Wait, let me back up a little…
I love to get into the car. Getting in the car typically means, I am going somewhere exciting. Sometimes I don’t get out of the car when we stop, which is kind of boring, but it is still fun to get in a few new smells in along the way.
Recently, I got in the car and we didn’t get out for a really long time. This means I’m going on barkcation!
On barkcations we would pull off at these random parking lots along the highway, where sometimes other people would be sleeping and I’d have to wake them. Other times, we would see folks walking their furry friends. We always took a walk around the perimeter to do a security check and, on occasion, I’d eat my food along the side of the car. This was like a long journey. By the end of the ride my boney little butt was stiff as beef cheeks.
I live in Seattle, Washington. It is rains where I live. While on my barkation, I could see myself at home, eagerly awaiting at the window for a break in the down-pour to go outside. I could also see those pesky bunnies hopping all through my yard, teasing me with their fuzzy little tails and munching on my grass.
It seemed, from the signs we were passing, that we were Los Angeles, California. I was here once before, for a week or two. I was not accustomed to those southern Cali smells, busy city sounds, or the pulse on my body of the heat.
I was able to find time to enjoy a hike through a local park, a few neighborhood strolls, and a visit to a dog friendly off leash beach in California. Of course, I wasn’t allowed off leash.
