Hi Y'all,
I think I might be getting the hang of this southern thing finally.
Got a new haircut and a nice cold shower, so I am in much better spirits today. I have already had 2 boat rides, a golf cart ride, & a truck ride. I know it might have come as a shock to most about the Zebra dying, so I have posted a photo of my new ride. I don't know if people like it or not, but I think it might just make most of them dizzy when they look at it for too long. Our friend Jo Ann thinks it is the most protected golf cart ever. (She's Greek) & I guess it does look like allot of evil eyes. My hard work at the gallery continues and my speed bump impression practice is exhausting. I think I have to work all weekend, but there is going to be live music at Freeport and that always means more ice cubes than I can handle.
On that note, my bowl's empty.
Sniff ya on the flip side,
Bleu

I would like to send a 'BARK OUT' to all of my buds. I have been the design director for mom and dad's new gallery over here on Daufuskie Island. We had to figure something else out after the Zebra died. I can't tell you how hard I have been working! Summer is here and I am glad we got it done in time for the Freeport crowds. Now I have time to greet all of my fans and let them scratch my belly. We have so much stuff in there I prefer to stay on the porch most of the time with my new buddy Rochester the Horse. He is a bit camera shy, but I think I might be able to get a candid shot of him. There were some goats, but they went wild. It is a pretty easy thing to do over here. Although, most of the ones that go wild over here walk on 2 legs and not 4. Well I better get back to the coal mines so to speak. I am perfecting a new trick. I will send a photo of it when it is just right. I call it the speed bump.
Piqued your interest huh! I cannot give all of my secrets away at once. I have to keep all my fans tuned in.
Here's Bark'n at you!

Back to work!

I thought you all would like to see my other mode of transportation, yes that is a zebra golf cart.
My new job is the marketing manager for The Daufuakie Island Safari Company.

Rightious ride!

Just thought my pups would like to see my sweet mug in the pimped out camo truck! Boy am I glad I don't have to ride on the back of the bike anymore.

2009-08-08T07:54:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not writing, but I have been a very busy pup.
After my west coast tour, my humans decided to move me an Island in South Carolina.
I have to say, it ROCKS!!!
I have a yard!
I have a girlfriend! A blond!
And I have ferry rides almost every day!
SWEET!
I promise to a much more reliable bloggin-bleudog in the future.

Need nap NOW!!!

2008-07-25T10:21:00.000-07:00

I was way off with the water running thing. Dad was right about Uncle Clay, he's the COOOLEST. He paddled us down the Lower Taylor river on this floaty thing called a raft over rocks and rapids. Then he put me in charge of protecting the BEER. AWSOME! He is a single pup like me, so I am going to see if he wants to go into town later and chase some tails.

Like I said I need a nap before yappy hour with Uncle Clay,

soooooooo

Later!

Over the pass and through the woods to uncle Clays house we go

2008-07-25T10:14:00.000-07:00

Over the divide again! I have been told of the legend of Clay. Dad says the power is strong within him. Nice star wars reference Dad. (Lame) It did peak my interest though. We arrived in a new land called Crested Butte. I am very exited, because we brought my life jacket, and I hear talk of running the water. I like both of those things, running and water, so it has to be good. i can't wait.

Don't eat the yellow snow!

2008-07-25T10:04:00.001-07:00

After marking my way across the country, and introducing my self to many-a-fire hydrant, you all know perfectly well what i mean by yellow snow!

They were NOT lying to me!

2008-07-25T09:53:00.000-07:00

I am HOME!!!! We have reached the motherland! Dad says its the Continental divide, but I know its the motherland. I don't know if you can tell by my eyes, but I am a little lightheaded, really thirsty, and having trouble typing. So sniff ya later!

Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas

2008-07-25T09:32:00.000-07:00

Yep, I am back in the car! I have been promised mountains though. Everything is a bit of a blur. We stopped in Ohio, lots of kids, lots of dogs. Mom has 3 new nieces and nephews, Colin, Audrey, and Camila that I got to sniff along with Uncle Cal's famous Hamburgers. Then it was off to Illinois to meet dad's niece, Sidney and see grandma Geyston. Sidney made me some bling for my collar, and played with me until i could not stand straight. Then it was back in the car, and I had no idea how many cows live in Kansas. I am still horse from barking at all of those COWS!

We had a bit of bunny spotting at a rest stop, and then it was back on the road. They are still promising me Mountains, but after 11 hours, I am starting to think they are lying to me.

PS ATTN. COWS, you walking meat pies, I will be back and louder than ever!

Mov'n on!

2008-07-25T09:23:00.000-07:00

Up at dawn again? Got to sleep in the tent though. In the car again? Glad I have my stuffed boar to keep me company, but neither of us have any idea what we are doing. Mom put me on this rock overlooking Bluestone lake for a photo op I guess. I think I look pretty noble though, and it is my good side! The lake looked pretty sweet as well, but there was no time to swim, just time for the pic. Dad says we will go back some day though. We have been following several Hilton Head license plates. You spell Hilton Head O-H-I-O don't you? Dad keeps mumbling about wind shield time, whatever that means. I will keep you posted.

Are you kidding?

2008-07-25T09:13:00.000-07:00

How embarrassing!!! Leash law my fluffy butt! How am I supposed to supervise tent erection and dictate proper fire-building technique while tied to a bumper? Despite this insanity, everything went smoothly after the sun went down and I figured out dad only used a half hitch knot. Those prosthetic thumbs are worth their weight in beggin strips! Therefore I could grill the steaks uninhibited. Take that Mountain Mommas!!

Sorry, I'm a slacker

2008-07-25T08:58:00.000-07:00

I had no idea how hard liv'n on the road could be. I'm glad my barber shop trio, Bleu and The Barkers, never took off. We left at dawn, or so they tell me, and headed north, or so the digital dashboard tells me. After an 8 hour power nap, I heard banjo music. The lab down the street in HHI told me to paddle faster when this occurs, but I had no idea what he was barking about until we crossed the border into West Virginia. We asked the guy at the gun counter in Super K-Mart where to camp and he said the safest place was a place called Pipestem.

My First Doggy Blog!

2008-06-17T09:55:00.000-07:00

Well,

This is my first blog. I know I am a bit behind the times, but the prosthetic thumbs finally came in. They make typing and kitty wrangling so much easier. I would like to introduce myself to those who do not already know me. I am a dog of many names but most just call me Bleu, and I am currently a resident of Hilton Head, Sc. It has been a good place to chase some tails, but i am getting ready for a return to my home land, Colorado with my two parents. I might occasionally write about them, because they are the ones driving the kibble train. They are also going on the excursion so I might as well introduce them. Torrey & Tony. I traveled here with Mom, Torrey, after bumming around the ski towns of Bozeman and Big Sky, Mt. Mom started a Photography Studio there that eventually led us here to the Southland. I had been staying at grandma's house in Breckenridge, Co before that chasing moose and raccoons. Dad, Tony, came into the picture in Hilton Head. I must say, I was not happy about sleeping on the couch at first, but I apparently snore. He now works with mom taking pictures, as well as making fine furniture. I get to go to work with both of them every day. Love the air hose! You might get to see a video of that later. I am still trying to figure all of the buttons on this thing. When i do, you will be the first to know. I have a meeting with my graphic designer to discuss my business cards, so i must sign off.

Untill then,

Here's barking at you Kid,

Bleu
