Jon Jon Celebrates Earth Day

It was a great day to be outside yesterday! I spent the whole day with my mom and dad.

I got to go to lunch with them at St. Louis Bread Company. While they were eating on the patio I stayed in the shade under the table waiting for one of them to feed me some of their lunch or at least drop something. Mom can be stingy so I try to stay near dad because he will drop something eventually. Sometimes I think he does it on purpose. As long as I get to eat, I don't care how or why I get fed!

Later we went to Wydown Park in Clayton. I dressed up as the Easter Bunny so my mom could make some Easter cards to send to her friends. I dress up for all of the holidays.

After finishing the photo shoot, we went to Forest Park. Earth Day was going on, so there were a lot of people to mingle with and get attention from. There were also a lot of other dogs there. It was a little hot, but there were water bowls for us around the park so we could cool off.

Here's a photo of me stopping to smell the flowers:

We walked around basin for awhile after seeing the sights at Earth Day and I made a new little friend. She couldn't talk yet and was hesitant to pet me, but came back to see me 3 or 4 times and kept smiling at me before her mom took her away.

The day ended at C.J. Muggs in Clayton. Mom and dad ate while I waited impatiently - it was past my dinner time! Luckily those two were a little more generous than they were at lunch and they gave me some bread and a few fries to hold me over - they were delicious!

The waiter was friendly to all of us and made my day by saying "Have a good day Jon Jon!" as we left. It looks like I've made another new friend!

Playing in Pontiac Park

I got to stay a my dad's place in Soulard this week. He lives across from Pontiac Park on South 10th St., so I always get to play there when I visit. On Wednesday, we went for a walk and then played fetch in the park.

We walked by Joanie's Pizza and my sniffer was really working smelling pizza cooking. There were a lot of people sitting outside on the sidewalk who wanted to pet me. They love me there! I always get a lot of attention - but what I really wanted was some pizza.

In the park, there were a lot of kids playing and a few dogs too. Playing fetch was fun until two boxers, who were off there leashes, got up in my grill and tried to take it from me. I had to bark at them and defend my territory until their master took them away. Those city dogs could learn some manners.

I had a good time at Pontiac Park. There was plenty of room to romp around, a lot of plants and flowers to sniff, other dogs to play with, and little traffic so it was safe when I crossed streets.

Overall, I give Pontiac Park 3 out of 4 paws.

Welcome to Jon Jon's blog!

This is Jon Jon – thanks for visiting my blog!

I’m a three year old cocker spaniel. I was adopted by my mom in November 2009 from the humane society. I now live in the lap of luxury in Clayton where I have the run of the house.

I get bored while my mom is away at work so I decided to write this blog – you can only sleep, groom yourself and wait at the door for so long.

This is the story of my adventures in St. Louis! - JJ
