Rocky the St. Bernard

Thor and Maia made a new friend during their walk today.  A reeeaaaallllyy BIG friend!!

Rocky the St. Bernard

Rocky the St. Bernard is only 11 months!! I think his cool owner, Louis, said he weighs around 160 lbs.  However, despite his size, he is the friendliest dog ever!  Maia was a little intimidated but still curious.  While Thor could not get enough of the big guy!  He and Rocky bonded instantly and played for around twenty minutes in the grass.  Err...well..Thor got tossed around a lot (which he loved!) and so kept jumping on top or Rocky as if he was his own personal bouncy castle.

Maia observed from a distance but soon warmed to the lovable dog.  Good times!

Here is a bit of iphoneography by Javier Perez-Gomez:

Thor lovin' the shade!

Always sticking his tongue out at the camera

Roll and roll and roll some more!

Back home we chill

Maia keeps itching so she has to wear her cone, shirt, and boots

Till next time! :D

Pupfury vs. The Hot Spot Menace

Maia was attacked by an evil villain: a hot spot under her armpit!! (dun! dun! DUNNN!!)
There was a terrible burning and itching sensation day and night!!! "AAAH!! make it stop!!" she cried.

So she went into the pup-kennel and transformed...

Maia transforming into Pupfury. Notice her purple invisibility cloak!

...into PUPFURY!!! And this time she had a secret weapon:
Le Cone de Resistance and her power boots!!

Nothing would stop Pupfury now!!

Wearing her power boots and cone

 She could leap from the tallest building!!...err...ramp!

The cone doubles her super-hearing, ultra-bark,and mega-nose!

Chase every bird and squirrel in town!!

No tree, fence, or post would stand a chance against her mega sensitive nose!!

Pupfury rules the world again!

 This menace would be defeated in no time.

In other news... Thor is 29.4 lbs today!!! Woah!!

 

Thor learns to go down the stairs!

We're so happy that he did because the superdog's getting too heavy to carry.

The best tool for long summer walks!

A collapsible bowl is, in my opinion, probably the greatest thing since sliced bread for long summer walks. There are plenty of water sources around and for days at the park I simply carry a ziplock bag of dog food. Presto!

I bought this bowl at Petco. But I've seen plenty of different brands at other pet supply stores.

Who has the longest tongue?

I think Thor wins this contest hands down.  But Maia can go sideways!
