Bebop & the 4th of July

Today is the 4th of July and, 

that means it's going to be really noisy.

Here I am after hearing a loud noise.

Loud noises scare me!

Be safe everyone,

hugs,

Life in the Times of Bebop

Me, hanging out in a tree!

Hi everyone!

I've been very busy, and so has OM,
so she hasn't kept my blog up to date.
But, we're back now!
Since there is so much
to tell you about,
I'm going to tell it
in stages:
A spring of Bebop
A summer of Bebop
A fall of Bebop
and,
A Winter of Bebop
Meanwhile,
I'm happy, hanging out
in trees!

Hugs!

It's cool to go to school!

Me, learning important stuff at Circus Class

When I moved to San Francisco, OM started
taking me to the school where Jagger goes,
Circus Class at Saint Roch's in Oakland.

My teacher is Francis Metcalf and he
is the coolest teacher ever!
He school is called Friends Of The Family.
And boy, Jagger was a real Circus Star!

In Circus Class, Francis is our ringleader
and we do all sorts of crazy and fun things.

Here I am getting ready to enter Saint Roch's for class!

All of us dogs get our own wooden box to work on. Francis gives directions so we all have to pay
very close attention to follow what he tells us to do.
Jagger's very good, but I find it hard to stay attentive sometimes, so I work very hard.
I like Circus Class because I get to eat a lot of hotdogs.

Me, in a down stay on my box.

We show off our commands like, sit, stay, come  and also do really fun tricks like balancing a ball on our nose!  Jagger can already balance a ball on his nose, I'm still working on that trick.

OM says the classes teach us all to "think outside the box".  I just know all the dogs and people have a lot of fun learning and working together.

While we're all working, Francis' best friend, Norma, walks around and takes pictures and films us.  Francis makes very special movies of our classes and you can watch them on YouTube.  Here's a video of Circus Classes, I'm the very last dog to be dismissed,
at the end of the movie!

hugs everyone!

I'm on the radio!

Here I am happy to hear my name on KFOG!

Every Monday - Friday in the afternoon 

Big D and my dinner party friend KFOG Renee 

are on the radio.  They are deejays on KFOG 

and their job is to play cool music 

and talk to people.  

And Big D talks about me and Jagger!

Big D talks about a pet store called, Pet Food Express, where people can go and get treats, toys, food and supplies for their pets.  And, you can express your love for pets and adopt 

a new friend!

Me and Jagger helping Big D pick us out treats and toys at Pet Food Express.

I love when OM and Big D express their love for me by getting me treats 

and toys, and  

I really love when I get to go shopping with them!

You can hear Big D and Renee between 3 - 7pm on KFOG

hugs everyone,

Where sleeping Bebop lies ...

When I lived in Portland with my Mom and Dad,
I slept with my bff Enoch.
I liked that a lot because I'm very cuddly
and like to be next to someone warm.

My Mom and Dad liked it too because 

they had a "no dog" bed.

When I moved to San Francisco to live with OM and Big D,

I had to get used to different sleeping arrangements.

Jagger DOES NOT like to be disturbed when he's sleeping,

so I couldn't cuddle with him.

Me, in a ginormous bed.

OM bought me a really nice bed, but it was way too big for me.
I only slept in it a few times.

Me, trying to get comfortable on the couch.

And, I liked the couch better.
But only a little better.

So, OM took that big bed back to the store, and bought me another bed.

Here I am in my new, better sized bed.

But, I still was not happy because it's better to cuddle next to someone warm.

Me, in the right bed.

Then, I found the perfect bed.
OM & Big D had plenty of room
for me in their big bed!
So, that's where I sleep.
Right between them,
under the covers,
where I stay nice and toasty warm.




OM and Big D tried to make me sleep in my bed on the floor next to them.
But, I convinced them I need to be sleeping with them in their bed.
And that is where sleeping Bebop lies.

Hugs everyone!

Hi everybody, I'm still Bebopping around.

Hi everyone!  I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything and a lot of stuff has happened!  OM has been busy so she hasn't put my updates together, 

but she has been taking pictures of me that we'll share soon.

Me, sitting in a tree.

Meanwhile, I'll just keep on doing what I do best: Bebopping around.

hugs,
Bebop

Pet Pride Day

San Francisco takes its Pride seriously.
 There are big pride celebrations and parades in this city, 

including this pride day that's for the dogs!

I mentioned a few posts back that my neighbors took me to a parade when my family went someplace with Jagger and I wasn't invited.  I think I was lucky though, because I had a lot of fun at Pet Pride Day!

There were lots of activities:

the parade, trick contests and costume contests.

And, lots of booths with treats!

Me and Bridget, checking out all the good smells !

I got to spend the afternoon with my favorite neighbor, Bridget!

Me and Bridget, with Bridget's Mom, LaPriel.

Bridget's family is super nice, and they said they really liked me!  I really like them too!

Me, getting hugs from Lauren.

Me and Bridget had a lot of fun,

we were really happy and smiling the whole afternoon.

After the Pride Day festivities, we went to Bridget's house where Bridget and I played, explored and took naps until my family came home to get me.

Me, saying Thank You!

I'm so glad the Rossi family took me to Pet Pride Day!

Now, whenever I can, I run over to Bridget's house to see if she is home. Only OM yells at me, and makes me go home.  OM says it's rude to barge over to Bridget's house by myself, I have to be invited first.  Rules sure are hard to keep up with!



hugs everyone,
Bebop
