IT'S HOWL-o-WEEN & Time to get into Toil & Trouble!!


TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT

Tonight is the night
when dead leaves fly
like witches on switches
across the sky.
When elf and sprite flit
through the night on a moony sheen.

Tonight is the night
when leaves make a sound
like a gnome in his home under the ground.
When spooks and trolls
creep out of the holes,
all mossy and green.

Tonight is the night
when pumpkins stare
through sheaves and leaves everywhere.
When ghoul and ghost and goblin
host dance round their Queen.

My Day,.....& Then some






My Day...woke up and would not eat my breakfast without mom sitting by me, played with my toy dug through my toy basket, got on my zoomies, went on a walk down by the Boulevard, got confronted by a brown and white dog pulled so hard at the leash to see the dog!

Got FURminated, got PediPawed, got to get my teeth brushed and ears cleaned, chewed more on my bone, watched mom make digital scraps of me, watched mom drink hot chocolate while I begged and begged, and just for a change of pace I begged some more. Gonna do Tricks for Treats tomorrow,Ran through the house and messed up the couch, helped mom decorate pumpkins, literally....! Played with a GIANT stick that was bigger than my body, and now I am ZZZZzzzzz.........

ANd me and the pup, Piglet!

Then we went and practiced some and a German Shepherd and it's owner watched us, but I did perfect and did all my commands even off leash, Mom was proud! Then we headed down to The Art Park, here are pictures of me jumping and playing at The Art Park!

The Halloween Costumer Incident.....

OH NO OH NO!!! Mom caught me in the act...she found me chewing on my new Halloween costume!!! OMD....was I in deep doggie doo doo! "She said Buck no that's your Halloween Costume!" Then she snatched from me.....Can't a dog get a good chew too....I mean this was not your regular toy,....it was a lot better! BOL!!

But luckily it was not totally destroyed and I can still where it.

StarBuck The Chocolate Version of Marley!

FOR THE LOVE OF KONG!!


Arf, Arf! It's your Pup Pal StarBuck here! I have I guess you would say a love for a thing....something red, chewy, and has stuff stuffed in it.....you guessed it...The KONG! AROOH! Most dogs have trouble getting the treats out,,....But I have a theory....

1. Start Rolling the Kong as hard as you can, (to make the treat fall out! BOL!!)

2.Start Licking, Licking,Licking....(to make the treat softer and easier to get BOL!!)

3. Last but certainly not least,...start chewing on it and squeezing it to make the treats fall out!

It is the quintessential dog toy!! What dog does not love the KONG? Mom is gonna bake a fresh batch of doggie treats, I am gonna go supervise ;) ;)

Bark at Ya' Soon,
StarBuck The Pup!

StarBuck The Tracking Dog....? Hmmmm


Howdy it's Buckaroo! I went Tracking! Arooh!! Being a Sporting dog it was quite easy to learn we got some information at www.akc.org here is what they said:

Getting started in tracking is easy, and you
won’t find a more willing participant! A
puppy instinctively uses his nose – training
your dog to track simply hones his natural
ability. And since all dogs have a natural
ability to follow a scent, any breed is capable
of learning to track.

Tracking requires very little equipment.You
just need a harness, a 20-to-40 foot lead, a
few flags to mark your track and an open
grassy area free of obstacles such as roads,
ditches or woods.

That is from te AKC's website. Mom had me track a "duck" "decoy" Qualarification: Fake Duck BOL!! Anyway she sented it with a liver smell and our park had a HUGE field away from all the playsets..and she hid it. And I was on a harness & long leash and she said "Find It" And I took of "Sniff,Sniff,Sniff."

And Guess What...I found it!! Arooh!..Boy were we happy..I LOVE Tracking..(it's my natural instinct!) BOL!! maybe I should go tracking by these flowers over here??

Well off to go track some ducks..decoy ducks...Arf,Arf,
Happy Tracking
StarBuck AKA Buck

StarBuck The Home run Hitter!

WoofWoof! Well us dogs have a fascination or obsession with something, whether it be a toy, or whatever it is! My fascination is.....MY Baseball! AROOH! And me being a retriever I just love to retrieve it! aaah! And yesterday mommy took me to the park and I also got to play in a baseball field,..that's every baseball loving dog's dream right (or atleast mine!)

Why I Love My BaseBall:

It's Genuine Leather...(yumo to chew on!)

It's fun to retrieve

It's fun to go get it then get on my "Zoomies" And run with it in my mouth BOL!!

If you listen closely and just sit with me only if for 15 minutes, I may tell you about the fun of chasing a baseball!

A Lab Livin' The Good Life







I had the best day, a day, any Lab would love! First, we went to the park!! We walked a long trail that the Rotary Club built and I was I guess what you could call the Canine Ambassador for the trail, for the club took my picture on it and put it in the presentation! Then I stopped to admire the beautiful lake or what I like to call harbor which has a beautiful fountain in it!

Then after the walk the park has several baseball fields in it...one empty, so we went in it and I got on, what I call the "Zoomies" in the field! Great place it's like my own personal dog park BOL!! After the field, & the park we headed to town and we passes several places until' mom pulled into a shopping/cafe type pavilion, she went into a Creamery and we sat at a little cafe type thing and ate our Blueberry ice cream YUMO!! What a day! Everyone was going goo goo over me too haha! BOL!

We got home and practiced Agility & Conformation, then played some Frisbee :) ;) Now it is time to relax & Zzzzz, Zzzz...oh I must have fallen asleep, I think I will go chew on my KONG toy in my bed!

Your Pal,
StarBuck The Pup!

Not So Gaurd Dog StarBuck

OMD.....a crazy peculiar day it was. We were going on our evening walk as always, but my ears perked up as I heard a weird BUZZ, EEK! OMD!! There was something brownish on the ground making an awfully weird noise, I coked my head, backed up...but did not make a sound...I did not want that thing to hurt me! Mom kept saying "What is it StarBuck?" "What is it?"

Did anyone know what this strange, yet oddly fascinating thing was? Then mom turned it over on it's back...I thought mom, mom don't, you could get hurt. Then mom told me it was just a locust bug. I felt like hiding in a dog house....I felt embarrassed, OK, & Safe, but embarrassed! So much for a guard dog...but mom did not care...she loved that I was a snuggle bug not a guard dog..."Good mom, cause that is all your gonna get!)

Not So Guard dog StarBuck

Mr. G Q


WoofWoof! OMD,....I just had a puppy playdate with the neighbor dog, Camo. Her owner called on behalf of her,...to see if she could come over & play, and so they headed over and we went on a nice stroll through the Boulevard, then headed back to my house, and me being the lover boy that I am had to show off, I took a leap on our big pool and Camo, I think she had a BIG crush on me after that, though she had a crush on me before, this time she really thought me leaping into the pool was pawsome!! ;) ;)

We hit it off and hope to see more of Camo...she is a goof furfriend! & that was a big day for me...oh what a day!

Mr. G Q,

My Day At The Creek



I went to Arkansas to a creek this past August,and met up with three cute Corgis! And normally I am a calm, mellow, happy go lucky, and I was but I got out there,and being a boy doggie,I had to mark my spot, my mom says “How embarrassing!” Anyway the boy dog, Shorty and I hit it off, we were like PB & J! He kept trying to jump up and lick my snout,pretty far up for a doggie of that size! BOL!! We made our way down to the creek, and me being a 100% water-loving Lab,I dove right in! SPLASH! Mom looked over and saw me with my snout in the water!! I swam and swam!!

Then, mom grabbed a stick, and said “StarBuck, fetch” I plunged into the water put my snout in ran out of the creek, stick in my mouth and got on what I like to call ‘Zoomies’ I ran all over that field!! The little Corgi dogs trying to chase me! BOL!! Then the baby of the Corgi bunch, was scared of water,but wanted to follow me SOOO bad, she barked at the water,ran through so fast,(well, as fast as her little legs could go!) But I helped her overcome her fears! Like mom always says “He is one Caliber Canine!”

After a long day at play I went over to a sand dune by the edge of the creek,and I dug myself a hole and plopped right down to catch some sun rays & Zzzz’s, and of course, my side kick Shorty came over to me and snuggled beside me! I trecked through the woods,and played with the other Corgi, Molly,but she loves to chase things and every time I would get the Zoomies, she would run after me!! Even the oddest of kind can make the Cutest Pair, because even though The Corgis & I had a size difference, we became the Best of Pals!!

Labbie Licks,
StarBuck The Pup!

HAPPY HOWL-O-WEEN!


BOO! It's Just me,...StarBuck The Pup! I have heard mommy talking to me about this thing called Halloween....And she got me this frilly collar for it...(I was a bit embarrassed!) Anyway...I was getting into the decorating, while mommy planted new fall flowers,...I rolled in the grass, BOL!! And then she put scare crows out and put a wreath on the door, Then she took out the Camera. She says it's a must that she takes my picture for it is my first Halloween. AROOH! SO after that I could smell a sweet aroma of something, and I saw the big silver thing (as mom calls it, the cookie sheet) go into the big white thing....then she took the pumpkin shaped cookies out and she called me over...and I got one,,,...she had made me treats for the holidays YUMO!! It was getting cool out, the leaves changing...oh I just love Fall! (and there is a lot of cooking going on for the Holidays, maybe someone will sneak me food under the table,I got my paws crossed!)

And today we get to go to the park! A beautiful crisp fall day....perfect for walks! What a day,..well I am gonna go help mom put the finishing touches on the decorating...(for I am the brains behind the operation,OK, the encourager, BOL!)

Have a Happy & Safe Howl-o-Ween,
