My travels to California

In late 2024, I took my third trip from Washington to California with my dad. We stopped at many interesting places on the long drive that seemed it would take forever.

While in town I had fun taking walks and posing for pictures around the neighborhood. I put on my shark outfit and we walked around to show people how I am really a well behaved shark. I believe I have even had my first crush on a another doggie. She looks so fluffy, but was very shy and wouldn’t talk to me. Maybe I can muster up the courage to go smell her and get her digits next time.

I have really enjoyed my adventures so far. We saw some classic cars that made me droll and wish I were old enough to drive. We stopped along the way and took in a few breath taking views and of course some potty breaks.

I have posted some videos of my adventures on my YouTube channel @itsamaxworld

Fun in the sun

I’ve had a lot of fun in the sun this summer. I have been able to go out on walks here and there and found some great smells along the way. I discovered my first four leaf clover, what a wonderful surprise. All the beautiful flowers were great to see and smell.

We discovered some new adventure paths around our neighborhood, that I keep wanting to explore. On one of my walks I found a reflective thing where I could see myself. I can see I’m getting bigger.

We’ve been changing our routine frequently to cover more ground on our neighborhood security checks. We established a few checkpoints here and there, which we revisit and review carefully and regularly.

I even got into some new interests like; frisbee, thanks to my Uncle Blake – he gave me some nice treats to eat too. We usually play in the backyard, sometimes I like to fetch the frisbee and other times, well check out my video to find out.

Water Escapades at Angle Lake

My parents recently purchased a small three person inflatable boat, along with life jackets for all three of us (safety first). I was a little nervous about trying out my sea legs, but mommy reassured me that my little life jacket would keep me safe. We searched online for fun places to go and float around.

Daddy came across Angle Lake, a beautiful lake in a cute little park just south of the SeaTac airport. There was a little beach and even a boat launch for us to get safely in the water. The park was packed with picnic people and bbqs giving off tempting smells that kept distracting me. The beach was crowded with little people running around playing and having fun in the sun. I think they were swimming and playing some game together called Marco Polo, whatever that is. I even saw a couple of people with fishing poles fishing from the pier and from the lake banks.

Mommy and daddy took our little inflatable boat down the boat launch to the water and we all climbed in. The breeze was gentle and created small ripples in the water. We paddled out into the water and began to move around the lake. The sun was shining down on us, but I was not complaining because mommy brought nice treats.

There were houses around the lake and the fur people living there were barking at us. I think they could smell my yummy treats and wanted to try them. Maybe they wanted to ride in our boat? We were having so much fun, despite my daddy having a bad hair day. He tried to blame it on something, but I wasn’t convinced. Daddy wouldn’t let me paddle, so I would just switch back and forth between him and mommy when I wanted another treat.

I got so excited about the adventure that when we reached the middle of the lake I suddenly realized I had to poop. I stood up in the boat. There was no where to go. I walked over to daddy. Sat down. I still had to poop. I walked over to mommy. Sat down. I still had to poop. I stood up again and did my poopie dance of going back and forth between mommy and daddy. My tail went up and my legs started shaking. I think they might have figured it out because daddy started rowing to shore as fast as he could. Mommy was so great (as always) while she soothed and comforted me, daddy frantically tried to paddle to shore.

We were all relieved we were able to make it back to the boat launch and get things taken care of before there were any accidents or issues. I can’t wait until we have another opportunity to get back out on the water in our little boat again.

If you have a small boat and a fur person that likes the water, Angle Lake is a perfect place to relax, have a little picnic and enjoy some sunshine.

So much fun!!
