Slumber Party

My mom and dad had a work trip and skipped out on us last weekend.  Ashley and I were not pleased about this, until we realized that my aunt and uncle were coming over to stay with us.  Archie came too.  Archie is my brother in case you are new to my blog.

I should pause here to tell you that Archie is a bad dog like me.  It is harder for him because he is my aunt and uncle’s only dog.  In my life I have a Calming Influence, which is my sister Ashley.  But Archie does not have this.  So I guess he kind of has an excuse for being bad.  I do not have an excuse.  I am just bad because I like it.

Anyway, my aunt and uncle came over for a slumber party and it was pretty wild.  Here is me dancing like a maniac:

You can only dance so long though because it is kind of exhausting.  So then we set up the futon.  Normally this would be a person’s job, not a dog’s job.  But I wanted my aunt and uncle to feel welcome so I helped out.  Here I am making the bed:

When my mom and dad got home I showed them my videos and then they realized how much better my weekend was than theirs.  I have to admit I felt a little bad for them after that, but sometimes you have to show some tough love to help your people learn their lessons.

Sorry it has taken me so long to make my next post.  Learning all this technology is kind of hard for a dumb dog like me.

Last weekend I went sailing.  My brother Archie visited me and my sister, so we decided sailing would be a fun way to show him how awesome our lives are.  We decided to take our people too.  Here is a picture of me and Archie:

Now, Archie and Ashley look a lot alike so don’t get confused.  But Archie is bigger.  He lives with my uncle and aunt so we get to hang out a lot.  So on the boat we had three dogs and four people.  That seems like a lot.

This is me on the boat with my dad’s beer.

Me and my sister always wear our Float Coats when we go on boats.  This is because I fall in the water a lot (Ashley does not do that).  Archie doesn’t have a Float Coat but he also doesn’t fall in the water.  Ruffwear makes the best Float Coats.  They don’t pay me anything to say that but maybe they should.

When we first got out of the harbor there was no wind, but that didn’t bother us.  Later it got windy and that was when I got seasick.  I puked four times on my dad.

Ashley did not get seasick.  Ashley is a pro adventurer.  This is one of the ways that Ashley and I are very different.  She is smart and athletic and, like, coordinated.  Here she is looking like a badass.  Oh and that’s my mom.

So it was a pretty amazing day.  I made a video with my GoPro.  You guys should subscribe to my Youtube channel, by the way.

Hello World!

Hello!  My name is Dingleberry.  I am a dog.  I am not smart.  I am starting a blog, see?

I live on the coast of California with my sister, Ashley.  We were born in 2007.  I got the looks, but she got the brains.  Look, here is a pic:

Okay, here is some more about me:  I am really bad.  I bark a lot.  At home I am really sweet but in public I am shameful.  I don’t like other dogs and sometimes I bite small children.  But I am pretty lucky because my mom and dad still take me out.  I get to do cool things.  I will blog about them, you’ll see.

Part of the reason I am starting this blog is because I just got this GoPro.  Look here:

Now, before you give me a lot of flack about my cinematography, please remember:

  1. I am a dumb dog.
  2. My custom-fit GoPro harness doesn’t fit so well.  My GoPro is usually not straight.
  3. My back legs and my front legs don’t always coordinate.  This can make my movies a little bumpy.

Yesterday we went hiking in Refugio State Park.  The trail was pretty steep so Ashley and I spent a lot of time waiting for my mom and dad to haul themselves up the mountain.  They are really slow.

We found a little cave.  The floor of the cave was steep and covered in sand.  I tried to climb to the top of the cave but I slipped and slid all the way back down to the bottom.  My mom laughed at me.

There was a great view at the top of the mountain but I did not care.  My mom had to lift me up to get a good shot.  You can see it in the end of my movie:
