The Weekly Update

Long Weekend

Today, mom and dad did not go to work. Ok, mom doesn't work on Friday most the time, but dad didn't go to work either. He did get up early, though, because he had to get the car inspected. It makes lots of noise. You can hear us coming 5 miles away. Plus the window does not go down, so when I go on car rides, I can't stick my head out of the window, and I can only go places that I am invited in, since I can't wait in the car. So mom and dad knew the car would need some repairs before it passed inspection. This year it was dad's job to do it. Me and mom hung out at home. She had some paper work to do for her job, but mostly she spent all day petting me and letting me go in and out.

And then, dad walked in the door. We didn't hear him at all. The car was fixed. We got new brakes. (That's what was making all the noise). The car window goes up and down. HOORAY! And apparently you don't need a speedometer or a gas gage to pass inspection.(The GPS doubles as a speedometer so we are not totally unsafe.)

Mom went to the laundry mat and dad went out in the backyard to burn bamboo. I went out to help him. And guess who came to help burn? Luke! Ok he was really going to a graduation party at a house up the street, but they already served cake and so he came over to visit. Mom came home and was so happy to see him. He showed mom his new truck. He is also going to California to compete in a Future Business Leaders thing. His team won state and now he is California bound. HOORAY! Later on Jake came over to visit as well. They couldn't stay too long because Luke had a date. Mom was happy to see them and they said they would all do something together soon. Maybe me and Reece can get together to play.

So anyway, I heard it was a long weekend and mom and dad don't have to go to work until Tuesday. I certainly hope they spend most of this time petting me and letting me go in and out. I heard dad say he wanted to sleep in tomorrow. Is 6:00 too early?

Mystery

First, I want to thank everyone for all the flowers and mother's day cups. It was perfect and I hope that everyone had a good mother's day.

Jake and Luke stopped by to see momand brought her a flower and a card and a gift card. Then later in the week, Jake took mom to dinner and the movies. Jake just finished his college finals(Jr. year) and he is starting a grown-up job this summer(internship with a lawyer). So he and mom had some special time. I don't know why I could not go with them, especially since I enjoy Mexican food and I heard there was a doggie in the movie that they went to see, but I was left out.

Then yesterday mom's kids that she teaches had their graduation. Once again, I was not invited, even though I often take mom to work and all the kids know who I am. Dad went to graduation and said it was all very nice. The kids sang all of their songs and said the pledge of Alligiance really well. (Except they pledged to the United States of Murica). Mom was in a more relaxed mood since that was over. She still has 8 days of classes and then she isn't sure what she's going to be doing this summer. Maybe it will be hanging with me out in the pool.

Oh, I titled this diary entry mystery because Dorothy Dot Louise in Heaven recieved a comment on a diary entry. The diary entry was from 2006. It was about a soccer game that Dot went to. The comment just said advertising and it was from projekt. We couldn't find Projekt on dogster and it seems like it may not be a dog. Mom got the feeling it was a company or something. Is mom being paranoid? Has anyone else gotten strange comments lately?

Well, that's about all for today. Dad and me and Roger are cutting and burning bamboo so I guess I should get back to work.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you dogmothers out there. And to 'nonymus who gave us a heart thank you so much. It means a lot. Now I am going to go do something extra sweet for my mom. I know all you doggies are doing the same.
