Car Rides, I Love ‘Em

Bark bark bark! Woof woof woof. Woof woof woof. Bark bark! Woof bark! Woof woof woof. Woof woof woof. Yip!

Translated from Dog:

Oh boy, we’re going on another car ride! I know Mommy and Daddy love it that I don’t get carsick or scares of the car like other dogs so. I totally don’t. I love car rides! They are so much fun! Especially when I can stick my head out the window. That’s total car ride bliss. Yeah!

Over a Cliff and Into a Ditch

We’ve been taking Mocha on off-leash hikes lately for family exercise. He absolutely loves them. He loves them so much that he’ll run run run at top speed all over the place.

Unfortunately one day, he got so excited that he ran ran ran – right over a cliff and into this ditch.

We panicked and ran over as quickly as we could, calling out his name frantically. The worst possible scenarios came into our heads. Seconds later, he emerged, unscathed and still smiling like a happy clown. He looked at us as if to say, “What? Chill out guys, I’m okay.” Then he took off and ran ran ran up a hill.

We’re so glad he’s okay. I wish I had a picture or video of him sailing through the air and into the ditch. All we could see was him leap over a mound of grass, then disappear. It was terrifying. So damn terrifying that we just had to laugh.

That’s our little boy. Indestructible (at least, in his own mind) and full of energy.

Come, Boy, Come!

Mocha’s loving these hikes. And I gotta give him props, despite being off-leash and running all over the place, he always comes running when called with a great big smile on his face.

There’s nothing like a happy dog running to you, lemme tell ya.

Standing Majestic

Here is a magnificent specimen of mixed breeding. A true masterpiece of Labrador Retriever and Jack Russell Terrier intermingling. Exercised, athletic, and well-toned. He stands tall on the hills of California, poised to leap at a moment’s notice. He is loyal. He is playful. He is Mocha. Majestic Mocha.

Oh Boy, We’re Going for a Ride

Bark bark bark! Woof woof woof. Woof woof woof. Woof woof woof. Yip yip yip!

Translated from Dog:

Oh boy, I love going for rides in the car! Whenever I see Mommy or Daddy open the car door, I jump in happily. It’s always fun to ride in the car with them. Everywhere we go is such an adventure. Oh boy what fun!

Thankful for Mocha

Yesterday’s post made me a little sad. Mocha has been frustrating. He scares our friends and neighbors. His 2AM barks disrupt our sleep. Exercise doesn’t seem to be helping. It has definitely been frustrating.

But for all that we are frustrated with him, we are also very thankful for him. I’ve seen other dogs that are a handful and a half. Mocha has lots of great points. So here is a list of why we are thankful for Mocha:

Relaxing Under a Chair at the Cafe

Today, Mocha joined us at the cafe again and took his usual spot under a chair. Note his collapsible red Ruff Wear Quencher Dog Bowl, which comes in real handy on trips like this. Fortunately, all cafes are nice enough to give you some nice cool water for your dog.
