Kafka, Chapek, and Me!

 Hello Friend's of Dharma!

This past week I went on a
ROAD TRIP!

WHAT ABSOLUTE FUN THIS WAS!!

I have met quite a few
FANS OVER THE PAST 8 MONTHS!
And even if I meet other dogs.
I don't really get to do
REAL DOGGIE THINGS.
LIKE
BARK, AND SNIFF, AND BARK,
AND SNIFF.
YOU KNOW, LIKE TO MY HEARTS DELIGHT.

---

Here is Chapek. He is a mixed Chiwa.
We are not sure of what kind.

Another thing dogs

JUST LOVE TO DO
IS SNIFF EVERYTHING!!
AND I MEAN EVERYTHING.

Much to the chagrin of many owners
ACROSS THE WHOLE OF THE WORLD.
Ha ha, you know who you are.

And so when I got to meet two dogs,

LOW TO THE GROUND LIKE ME,

SNIFFERS OF THE BEST KIND,

SQUIRMY,

HAPPY,

WELL I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I WAS IN

PUPPY DOG HEAVEN!

Did you know that the olfactory canal of dogs
has 200 plus million receptors?

THAT IS A LOT OF SMELLING POTENTIAL.

Here is Kafka. He is a
Chihuahua
and every
time Mama turned the lens onto him, he would run over to Liz who was making deviled eggs at the counter and sit next to her. It was funny.

---

Here is Chapek who after about a half of an hour of smiling, and squirming and barking and sniffing, well he finally JUST NEEDED SOME SPACE!

Anyway we went to a new home and I met
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME
Auntie Liz,
cousin Chapek and cousin Kafka.

Now once auntie Liz's big dogs
all went to
DOGGIE HEAVEN
living without a dog,
well
IS HARD.

LIKE I ALWAYS SAY,
WHEN IS THAT EVER RIGHT?

And so
OFF SHE WENT
OVER THE MOUNTAIN
AND THROUGH THE VALLEY
AND
INTO THE LOCAL SHELTER.

There they were
in a crate
together
squirrley
wiggly,
THOSE HAPPY SMILING FACES
SAYING

TAKE ME! TAKE ME!

Of course,

IT'S LIKE A GREAT POTATO CHIP
YOU JUST CAN'T HAVE ONE!!

And happy she was
that both of them came home
with her on that day.

Auntie Liz knows all about dogs and she told Mama right away
that she did not have to worry about the barking, or any thing else,
like little doggie accidents,
sh sh sh
NOT THAT WE EVER WOULD,
hush hush.
She said

THAT IS WAS JUST NORMAL DOGGIE BEHAVIOR AND THAT IT WAS JUST OK.

Mama was a little nervous for me because
when I meet new dogs
I always
get nervous,
and then I bay like a basset hound,
HAROOO!!!.

And so Mama puts me on the floor and these two guys,
there was so much

BARKING

AND SNIFFING

AND BARKING

AND SNIFFING,

that for a brief moment I was nervous,
but after we

GOT IT ALL DONE,

we were all good.

And I didn't even bay once.

---

Just having fun with
THE BOYS.

A really good picture of Mama and Kafka
don't ya think?
THANK YOU PAPA FOR ALL YOUR GREAT PICTURES TODAY!

---

 Now Kafka is a chihuahua, and he was named
after a writer from Prague
which is in Europe.

MY GOODNESS!!

And Chapek was named after a
Czech writer, also from Europe.

I think their Mama Liz likes writers
or something.

Anyway we hung out and had a
VERY GOOD TIME!

Auntie Liz,
WHAT A GOOD SPORT,
said sure you can take pictures
and so
I hope you enjoyed my story and pictures.

ALL OF US TOGETHER!
THANK YOU LIZ FOR HAVING US!
Dharma Hugs!
