SUMMER

Schools out forever, well until that thing called Fall. But this means my mommy gets to stay home with me, walk me and not be as tired. I am so happy because I get to sleep in. When she works I have to get up at 5:30, but she let me sleep today. Of course, I have been waiting for her to take me on a walk, she has shoes on and looks like she wants to, but we have not left yet. I keep opening the back door and standing there. When she comes to the door, I run to the fence. You would think she would get the hint. She says I have to wait as she is waiting on someone to fix something. Not sure what but they are late and she is getting mad. I hope she doesn't wait too long because I hate walking in the heat. I'll let you know if I get to go walking, my favorite thing to do, besides tear up socks and gloves.

I hate ticks

For some reason my yard is not the safe haven it used to be. Besides having to avoid the bees when my dad works with them. The big green snake like thing that shoots water out of its mouth when my parents are in the garden is also bumming me out. In addition, my parents now say we have ticks in the yard. I had one on me. I did not even know it was on me until my mom freaked out when she saw it on my body. She tried to knock it off but it was firmly attached. I did not like her messing with it, so I got up and started running around the house. She finally waited until my dad got home, then they tried to torture me some more by pulling on it with a cold metal thing and a stinky thing that smelled like medicine. I was not happy. Mom keeps looking at the spot. I hope I do not get another one of those things, and probably so does my mom.

C'est La VIE or It's a Dog's Life

I have not written in awhile as I am only doing the same thing everyday, with very few highlights. I am a dog after all. The biggest highlight was when the whole family was together for a week. My boy was here, but my girl came home. Then at the end of the week, I was put in a boarding kennel. Which I really didn't mind because I got to play with lots and lots of dogs. I really did not want to come home but my friends said they were going to leave soon, so I went with my human family. But to my dismay the boy was not there. I looked everywhere for him, the basement (his favorite spot), the bedroom, and outside, but no boy. I think my parents lost him. Maybe on purpose because he had a big bag on his pack with all sorts of stuff in it.

Then my mom went away. She came back the next week, but she had weird smells of a house or place I did not know. While she was gone my girl left for places unknown, which left just me and my dad for 4 days. He doesn't do things like mommy does in the morning. He also let me stay outdoors for long periods of time. My mom always calls me in when I bark too much, but not my dad. He was also outside working on the garden, so I didn't mind being outside. It was also nice and warm. I liked laying in the sun, except when he went in the bee hive or got the hose out to water.

SO that is what happened the last few months in a nutshell, whatever that means. I heard mom say it once, but nutshells are very small, so how do you fit a life into it. Anyway, bye and I will let you know if anything exciting happens.

Big Birds

The other day I was walking with my mom, we had not been down this road for a long time. But there was the weirdest thing, big giant birds standing on one foot. I could not tell what color they were, I can't see colors well. But there were five of them. I stopped and my mom said 'What is it girl?'
Then she followed where I was looking and started to laugh. "It's okay girl there just statues of pink fla mink o's." Or something like that. There were also these weird round things, they looked like balls but they were on top of sticks. Mom said not to worry, but I really wanted to play with the ball things. Mom said the birds were not real, but what if she is wrong. I do not want to run into them, they looked too big to chase, but they might chase me.

Weird bump

I have a bump on my skin. It doesn't bother me but my mom is freaking out. She took me to the vet, which I hated. He stuck a sharp thing in it and then made me wait and wait. Plus I had to get my regular meds and a pooh sample. OWWOOO. I was not happy with my mom. The vet said it might be a histo something or other and should fix itself, but if it grows instead of shrinks I need to go back. My mom wants it to be nothing and my boy keeps trying to get me to go back. Why are they trying to torture me? I hope it disappears soon.

I WANT ATTENTION

Mom went back to work yesterday, she looked really tired when she came home, but I wanted to play. I mean she was home and why not play. She got changed and sat down, why did she sit down, so of course I grabbed the tissues and tore them up. Eventually, she decided to take me for a walk, after the boy told her she should relax with a walk instead of playing some computer game. But boy was it cold and snowing. It was so nice when it was warm outside. It was a short walk but it was nice to get out of the backyard. I am happy I have a backyard to play in but my favorite thing is to get out of the fence. Anyway, it was fun, even if short. I played duck with her and then she took a nap. I was kind of waiting for her to do this, I even gave her a hint by sleeping on the floor. As soon as she laid down on the couch, I jumped up and laid on her legs. I guess she got the hint, not as stupid afterall. We got a pretty good nap in, but of course I still wanted attention, and tried to get them to feed me from the table, but no success, I was stuck with my dog food, boring. I hope today we do something fun.

OOPS

So sorry I haven't blogged, I have been sad because my mom is not feeling well and she won't take me on a walk. She just keeps barking at me and I don't know why. Then she pets me and says I am a good dog, why does she bark? When she falls asleep on the couch I am happy because I get to snuggle with her. I hate the couch because it is too cold, but she puts a blanket on just for me to sleep in the crook of her legs. I have been trying to get her to play by grabbing her socks, tax paperwork, tissues and anything else that would cause her to chase me, but she just yells at me and sends the boy to grab the things from me. I think she is feeling a little better because she took me for a walk yesterday when it was 65 degrees out, but today it is only 45 degrees and she has not budged from the couch and she started barking again. I hope this barking stops soon and we can play some more outside.
