Howl-o-Ween


Hi! Ola! It's me, Daniel. Here we go on another adventure.

Once upon a time last Saturday, I got to be a football player. I like football. We see it on television.  Go Aggies! Go Texans!  Mamae got to be a cheerleader, and Papai got to be a referee.




Mostly I don't like to stand still for pictures.
We went to a place called Bridgeland for a party called Howl-o-Ween Fest. What that means is there were lots of people and lots of puppies and almost all of them dressed up fancy.


Here's Papai with
a funny little cheerleader pup-pup.
And Mamae's pompoms.
And my two footballs.


She likes to play football too.


Her friend is a football player.

 I got to jump and jump on this bouncy thing.

See my big shoulders?
My GiGi made some shoulder pads
so I could be a real football player.


I got to jump and Mamae got to watch.
She cheered for me like a cheerleader
is supposed to.


Mamae says I have good balance.
I don't know what that means,
but I had fun running up and down this bridge.


Gigi held me so we could see
a big duck and a giant pinecone.
Reeeally big.


I told you they were giant!
 


Mamae looks pretty.


This little boy was riding a chicken.
What's that all about?!



Mamae and I had fun talking about
the giant duck and the boy on the chicken.



Here's Mamae and GiGi
waiting with me for a show with puppy dogs.


Did you see how pretty Mamae is?!

Papai blew his whistle sometimes,
just like referees are supposed to.
The show was about to start. It was called Mutts Gone Nuts!
 
Here's the stage.

Here's a man.
On the stage.
 The man said that all his dogs were 'rescue dogs.'  I'm pretty sure that means they were all really smart and lucky to play with the man. Each puppy did funny things.

This dog never let go of his Frisbee.

Not until he jumped on the man's back
and looked like Captain America.

My GiGi thought the dogs were so funny.
Sometimes they made me laugh too.
This little girl witch came up on stage
to help the man.

She held a ring real still.

Another dog jumped right through the ring
lots of times.

That dog jumped up on this round thing
and walked on it all the way across the stage.

He stood up and smiled.
Does this mean he has good balance like me? 

GiGi and I sat next to Mamae for the show.
Next was a dog that sang a song.

He also pushed the barrel
with his friend on top,

and then he said his prayers.

for a long, long time.

Then he jumped through that ring for the lady.

The man tried to get someone to jump for him.

But no one would listen to him.

This puppy just laid down.
It was so funny!

I guess this is where the Mutts Go Nuts.
The brown dog
started dancing around the black and white dog.

This dog talked!

This dog played jump rope.
 And then, a really great trick.
The man said Charlie would walk across the wire
if we would all say his name.

So all of us started, "Char-lie, Char-lie, Char-lie!"

Charlie!  Charlie!

He walked while we chanted his name.

Then he went zoom down the slide,
and we all clapped and said, "Hooray for Charlie!"

Hooray for Charlie!
This puppy liked to dance with the man.

He jumped so high to catch the Frisbees.

See the man hug his friend?

Hooray for Mutts Gone Nuts!
 I'm happy that we had this adventure. It was fun to be a football player. It was fun to see people and their dogs all dressed up. I met a giant duck and a pinecone that was really big. Papai blew his whistle and Mamae cheered. GiGi laughed a lot, like she always does.  Dogs are fun.

Happy Howl-o-Ween!
