A Day in the Life

Where's the SHEEP ???

The weather is getting warm now, and the sun shines most days. I think I remember Mom saying that when we retired, I could have some sheep. We are retired now but there are no sheep here. Dad works almost every day outside, converting an old shed. He cleaned the trash out and dug up a lot of rocks. The pile of rocks is in the sun and lizards like to hid in it. Anyway, Dad put some chickens out in the shed. Since we don't have sheep, I stare at the chickens a lot. Some of them stare back.

There was a lady here yesterday, talking to Mom. I like her because she is friendly and she smells like a sheep, a little bit. She must have some sheep at her house. Maybe she will sent some over here! Dad said no sheep until he has the shed fixed up because the sheep need a place to live. I try to help him, but he just tells me to go and lie down. It is a good thing I have my own puppy to play with or I would get very bored while waiting for the sheep to appear.

My puppy has a name now

My puppy has his own Dogster page, now that he has his own name. He howls so much that Dad named him Akela, after the wolf in 'The Jungle Book'. It is really fun to have someone to play with and run with. He can't run as fast as I can but he tries. He pretty much wants to play whenever he is awake. His feet are as big as my feet and he eats as much as I eat, even though he is still a little guy.

Donkeys!

We had donkeys in our driveway! There were two of them, a grey one and a red one.

They got out of their yard and walked around the neighborhood until they found our driveway. They walked up to the house and ate grass. I wanted to chase them but Mom wouldn't let me. I stood by the gate and one of the donkeys walked up and sniffed at me through the wire, so I licked her nose. I never met a donkey before. I really like living out in the woods, this is so fun!
