It’s almost summertime, and I finally got a chance to come back and visit all my friends at 11Alive. And what’s summertime without my dad and Backyard Weather?
Dad brought me to this year’s first BW, which is right here at 11Alive.
There’s Dad with the guys who are working the grill. They have chicken, pork, and ribs, and I even got to eat some… though I had to wait my turn, just like everyone else.
This is some of the stuff they put on the barbecue.
Everyone at the station walked in on Dad’s weather report just to get their share. I got mine pretty close to the start, and it was awesome.
Steven, who’s normally working with Valerie, took some video of me hanging out, and as soon as I learn how to use the system Dad uses to put up his video, I’ll post it here on my blog.

Y’know why I love going to 11Alive? Because everyone there is so happy to see me, and even if I mess up my behavior, there’s always another person who wants to pet me and tell me I’m a good dog.
Me at 11Alive on February 26
My friend Josh from 11Alive’s web department took a bunch of pictures last night while I was greeting my faithful fans before going on TV, and he put them up on my webpage. Click here to go see them. (You’ll have to scroll down a bit.)
And here’s video of me, Dad, Dennis, and Mom from the news last night, in case you missed it.
I just wish Dad would stop telling everyone how much I weigh…
Stay safe this weekend; Dad says there’s probably going to be some bad weather. If that happens, I’m totally watching him on TV.

I was all set to go on the 6:00 news with Dad, but when Judge Bodiford said all that stuff just before, I knew it wasn’t going to happen. That’s okay; I still had a good time.
I’m really looking forward to being on the air on Thursday. My friend Dennis will be at the station too, so if you have questions about helping your friends be good dogs, you can send them from my website.
Dennis and I got to hang out this weekend. I’m working on coming when called, which is important, because sometimes when Dad or the family call me, there are treats. I love treats!
Everyone cross your fingers — or claws — that there won’t be any breaking news on Thursday, because I really want to be on TV again! Dad’s work has so many interesting smells!

Have you seen my new web page yet? It rocks! Big thanks to Dad’s friend Josh for putting all that stuff together for me. Whenever there’s new video of me out doing stuff, Dad’s going to make sure it goes on that page, and we’ve also got photo galleries. If you take any pictures of me out at events, you can upload them, and you can check out the pictures already taken. I know I sound vain, but hey… I’m cute!
When people watched 10 minutes of animal footage, their heart rate and blood pressure dipped not only while they were under stress, but it stayed lower even afterward. It didn’t matter whether the animal was scaly, feathered or furry. Even better, the sound doesn’t have to be on to reap the calming benefits, so you can sneak a peek at the latest panda/polar bear/Labrador retriever clips before your next tension-filled meeting, and your officemates will never know.
Hey! I’m a retriever! Maybe not the Labrador kind, but… I retrieve things! Really! I swear!
Anyway, so if you’re sitting at work and you’re not feeling so hot about things, just visit my photo galleries and if your boss says something, just point him or her to that article and go back to watching my antics.

Hi! It’s me, Doppler, the Weather Dog! My dad (that’s the awesome Paul Ossmann) asked me to start blogging on our new blog site, 11AliveBlogs.com. I don’t really have a lot to say yet, but I’m going out on my very first live shot ever tonight, and that’s pretty exciting!
While you’re here… I know that it’s sometimes hard to keep up with everyone’s blogs. With my schedule — sleeping, eating, training, playing, visiting my friends at 11Alive, and going out and meeting people — even I sometimes run out of time. So I asked my friend Josh to make an RSS feed for me. You can click here to add it to your RSS reader. If you’re not sure what all this RSS stuff is, that’s okay too; there’s a whole page to help you on 11Alive.com.
So, how’d I do? Do you like my blog? Are you going to subscribe? Please do! And if you somehow found my blog without going to my page, click here to see it! There’s videos and photos and the weather too, and if you haven’t signed up for my newsletter, you can do that there!
