"All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

Poor Carter - she's doing much better today and it's back to her old self minus the 5 teeth removed during her dental on Monday.

Carter is enjoying her first meal after her dental. 5 teeth were removed. She is not happy with me.

Listening to William Shatner talk about space travel while at the same time he is wondering where the sushi he is eating on stage came from and whose fingers have touched his food.

Carter and Starbuck approve of the new discs we got from Ella Hansen last week! 🥏🐾

Can’t wait to add them to the bag—pretty sure the pups think they’re for fetch. 😆

Carter, Starbuck, and I tried a new course out this week. Played Lincoln Park South. Started off rough on the first two holes, but then did much better. Nice course... Would definitely play again. 18 holes with 2 baskets and 2-3 tees pads per hole. Some only had 1 tee pad.

Carter knows I’m heading out for a disc golf round without her, and she is not happy about it. Those eyes say it all. I might have to make it up to her with extra treats later!

A black and white dog, Carter, is curled up on a cozy pile of fleece blankets, one with a dog pattern and another with tropical trees. She rests her head on the blanket, gazing sadly at the camera. A small green plush toy peeks out from the blankets beside her.

Carter takes her caddying duties seriously—watching every throw, judging every shot. Not sure if she approves of my buddies form, though!

#DiscGolf #CarterTheCaddy #DogApprovedThrows #FrankGrimesDiscGolfCourse
A black and white dog, Carter, stands attentively on a grassy disc golf course, watching a person in a black t-shirt and brown pants throw a disc. The person is mid-throw on a dirt and rubber tee pad, while Carter, wearing a green harness and leash, observes closely. The background features trees and an open grassy field.

Back at The Canyons with my adventure pup, Carter!

She’s always ready to hit the course (or at least supervise). Nothing beats a round at this beautiful park!

#DiscGolf #TheCanyons #DellwoodDiscGolf #DiscGolfDog #ItalianGreyhound
A large wooden sign carved from a log reads "THE CANYONS" with "Dellwood Park" engraved below it. The sign is supported by two stone bases and sits on a gravel path with trees and a road in the background. In front of the sign, a black and white rescue pup, Carter, sits on the grass wearing a green harness. Next to Carter, a black disc golf bag is propped up, filled with colorful discs, a towel draped over the side, and a suction cup disc retriever.

Early morning round before work is a great way to start the day. The sun is shining and it's a nice brisk 36°- looks much warmer out.

Small but challenging nine-hole course that was put in last year in my town.

+5 Tuesday, -1 today.

New plastic day! Testing out the Belleair mid-range while Carter supervises.

Can’t wait to see how this one flies!

#DiscGolf #NewDiscDay #ClimoDiscs #CarterApproves #DellwoodDiscGolf
A person holds a bright yellow Belleair mid-range disc with red lettering in the foreground. The disc features the name "Climo" and flight numbers "5 4 0 2." In the background, Carter, a black and white rescue pup, stands on a leash wearing a green harness with a round tag attached. The ground is covered in dirt and scattered leaves, with a disc golf bag and other gear nearby.

Early morning round turned out to be very productive. Started with tag #15. Ended up tied for first out of 22 players.

Carter is always ready for an adventure! A perfect day on the disc golf course with our gear packed and my best co-pilot leading the way.

A black-and-white dog wearing a harness stands on a disc golf course near the base of a large tree. The background features a leafless forest with sunlight casting long shadows on the ground. A small black-and-white dog, likely an Italian Greyhound, is curled up inside a soft-sided travel crate in a vehicle. The pup is resting its head on a plush gray blanket, with a blue toy nearby. A bright green fuzzy pillow rests on top of the crate, and the dog’s collar with a disc golf bag tag is visible.

2nd round of disc golf today found me playing with my 1000 rated caddy Carter. She definitely lifts my game up considering with her there, I shaved 11 throws off my round from last week.

First disc golf round of the day found me joining a new club of golfers....50+ only. Nice bunch of girls and guys. Very laid back.

Started with tag 61 and ended up with 15. 18 total players today and I ended up 6th.

In my eyes, winter is over!

Just signed up for my first tournament of the year!

Over 120 players signed up in 10 minutes... Definitely a decent community

Gertie’s favorite part of car rides?

Trying to be tall enough to see what’s going on outside.

She’s got determination, that’s for sure!

A small, scruffy dog with black and gray fur stands on the passenger seat of a truck, stretching her front paws onto the door panel as she tries to look out the window. Her large ears are perked up, and the sunlight highlights her wiry fur. Outside, a parking lot and trees are visible under a partly cloudy sky.

Carter is double-checking my disc golf bag… but let’s be real, she’s only looking for treats. Priorities, right? Best caddy ever.

Anyone else bring their pup along for a round?

Starbuck living her best life—soaking up all the love (even if she sometimes thinks she doesn’t get enough)!

She’s got the perfect mix of sass and sweetness.

Who else has a pup that demands ALL the attention? ❤️

Carter questioned all of her life choices after stepping into the snow. ❄️😂

She's a good sport, but let’s be real—she'd rather be inside under a blanket.

Carter took a trip to the mall and handled it like a champ! 🐾
From riding the elevator to checking out the sales, she’s got this whole shopping thing down.
Just another adventure with my favorite co-pilot.

Throwback to last summer when Carter was living his best beach life on the shores of Lake Michigan. 🌊☀️

Sand, sun, and endless zoomies—what more could a pup ask for?

Throw back to 2 summers ago...

Tiberius believes that all food should be shared… especially if it smells delicious. 🍖

This little IG/Chi mix had his sights locked on our dinner, and honestly, who could say no to that face?

Nothing like a round of disc golf with Carter keeping me on my toes!

She’s got the energy, the enthusiasm, and the fashion sense to match.

Who needs a perfect throw when you’ve got the perfect adventure buddy? 🐶⛓️🎯

Boulders at North Cove—one of the most beautiful courses out there that I have played. Unfortunately it is now lost due to the hurricane in NC last year.

Glad we got to experience its magic while we could! The pups were big fans, too.
