Guess what! I got to go back to the lake for walkies! I was hoping to see the ducks again, but we went to a different part. We walked way out on a long dock over shallow water. I didn’t like walking on it too much because there were spaces between the boards. Mom said I was skipping in places. I didn’t appreciate the laughter, let me tell you.
When we got to the end I looked in and it sure looked yucky! Yuck. See what I mean in the picture? I wouldn’t even think of trying to swim in there. I don’t think mom would have let me anyway. Yuck, again.
Anyway we had a great walk, even though there weren’t any ducks at that pat. There were a lot of smells to sniff and mysteries to try to solve. I like that place.
Wow! It sure has been a busy week! Ethan has stayed with us all week, so mom has to play with him in the mornings and she doesn’t play with me as much. :( She said that she would make sure to do better next week but she is old. Whatever that means. I’ve been running and playing with him too, so I guess I can’t blame mom much. He is a lot of fun, for a human.
Plus on Monday a new great-nephew was born so mom took Ethan and went far away, about 1 hour and fifteen minutes away, to see the new little nephew. Mom kept talking to family and friends saying the wsame things. I thought she should just get a tape recorder: he was born at home….7 pounds and no ounces….19 3/4 inches long……it went on and on. Whew, I was glad when she quit talking about it.
Last Saturday Dad put up a swing in one of the pecan trees for Ethan so we were all outside for a long time. I played a lot with Ethan and Bear. I was finally tired and went to sit down by some flowers. Mom called them weeds. Then when I smelled one she laughed and said, “You always have to take time to smell the flowers.”
Wow! I just went over to Deetz’ blog and guess what? He is having a SCARY EYE CONTEST! Deetz even put me in it. I voted for some pretty scary looking characters, let me tell you. I was polite though! I didn’t vote for myself, even though I wanted to. You should go over and check it out, and maybe even vote. There are a lot of cool pictures!
Boy, there was a lot of interesting stuff going on over at the neighbors today! i had to watch them for a long time. First there were people over there working in the garden. I had to supervise them most of the morning. Then, and this is the bad part, there were TWO squirrels scampering around in the neighbors yard just on the other side of the fence. They kept going up and down the tree and chasing each other right in front of me. Well I let them have it! They knew what I thought of that kind of behavior!
Bear helped me some, but mostly she just sat around and napped. Big help she is. Boy was I tired by the end of the day. I kept thinking she might give me some ice cream for being such a good boy like Jonesy, Sissy, and Tinky got. But, no!
That is part of bear in the corner of the picture. She was napping when I finished talking to those squirrels. I was about out of breath, as you can see. She COULD have gotten up to help.
Look! Dallas the cat IS my friend! he knocked this of the desk so I could get it! My Christmas Squirrel that mom wouldn’t let me de-stuff! Now’s my chance! Oh-oh, mom has spotted me.
Maybe if I just sit here casually mom will go away and leave me alone.
(5 minuets later) Mom saw me change the squirrels position in my mouth and here she comes with that camera. Man! And the squirrel’s foot is slipping.
Mom’s not going away and the foot is in my eye. I guess I’ll just let her have it. Maybe I can get Dallas to get it for me sometime when mom isn’t home!
So, mom and I were visiting some of our friends and of course that means we went to see what Tinky, Jonesy, and Sissy at4urpets have been up to. When we get therewhat do we see but a very cute little doggie in a car seat and guess what? He looks like me. While we looked mom laughed and I heard wheels turning and smelled something burning. Mom was thinking! I could hear her thinking, “Hmmmmmmmmm. Why not!” Then before you could say BARKLOVE my butt was in Ethan’s car seat and mom was snapping away. I hope she doesn’t think I’m going to travel like this. BritneySpearsdoesn’t buckle up her kids, I shouldn’t have to be buckled up either.
