Penny A Puppy with Lyme

Monday April 1st - She brought me nothing back

Sorry we have been away from the computer for a while.
You see I blame Mum, on Friday she had to go to work to a "eating" she may have said "meeting" but I don't think so, and I will explain why. She was gone for a long time, and when she came back I was so pleased I ran down the drive and she opened the car door. Of course I did not get in that would be silly, anyway, our drive is great as it is all muddy, me and Murph love it. However the car was to heavy and got stuck, Dad told her to reverse and he pushed, but it moved a little then there was a noise that was not good, and Mum stopped, Dad kept pushing shouting don't stop the car. Mum shouted I already have, and so it happened that the car was stuck, I think embedded is a better word for it.
Well the got stuff from the small wooden house, and went to dig it out, they got wood to put under the wheels, I thought at one point they were moving into the car there was so much stuff there. Then they got out a boulder that was bigger than all of us put together that did not help (Mum said it would not!) and there was much sighing. Our friend from down the road came with "Blue" he is handsome a black Lab, he thinks I am just a kid but I will show him one of these days. Blue and I went off for a walk, and I think it made Mum a bit cross as we did not ask first. She had to come looking for us, and was up in the wood calling, but we came back the other way and she did not know, okay Blue came back and I followed him, did I say he was handsome, sigh..........oh yes the car, well Blue brought his Dad and his Dad brought his tractor, but it was no good. The car was not moving. So every one went home, I went home with Blue, did I say how handsome he is? but I was told to go back to my place, not sociable was it. When I got back Dad called in a "wrecker" but by now it was dark,as they had been out there for 4 hours, the wrecker came an hour later and that could not get the car out the mud either. Oh dear now Mum could not get to work, which was a much better plan than ours last week. In the end she rang a friend and he took her in, so that did not work, and she said she was very "fed up" which is why I think she was "eating" and not "meeting"
Hope you all had a good Easter..........I did!

Friday 29th March - Easter gifts!

So after I complained about not liking the truck the Peeps left me behind when they went out.
They were gone all day, well maybe an hour but it seemed longer. When they came back they brought in groceries and put me outside, then in came this little box. "Yes" its my Easter gift I thought and they don't want to spoil the surprise. It is hidden in that box, so I looked through the door to see what it was. Well they got out a much bigger plastic box and put a light on top of it and a wire cover. Wow I wondered what they had got me, in the end Mum saw me with my nose pressed on the glass trying to see and let me in. What a noise, it sounded like squeaky hinges, it was louder than Ash when he goes out for a walk. So at this point I did not know if I wanted to know what was in there, but I was beginning to think it was not my Easter gift.
The Peeps said for me to come and look and I did very bravely creeping and peeking over the top of the box.....................What ever are they? 2 legs, no arms, hardly any head and tiny, I mean very tiny, maybe smaller than a golf ball, with these things sticking out of the miniature head. They are covered in fur, some black, some yellow and some red. Mum picked one up for me to look at closer and it had itsey bitsey eyes, as I got closer it looked at me and said "cheep" Well how rude an introduction, I may not be a pedigree and so was not expensive but I am not cheep! Then Mum said "Penny, its a baby", and Dad said "its a Baby Chicken", oh wowie they did get me an Easter gift, a baby chicken ... or 10. So what did I do next?.......yes I licked it. It is now a baby with a hair style unlike anything else. I wanted to shake paws with it but Dad said "no" so that can wait. Ohhhh babies I stayed very close to make sure they were all safe, and when they went to bed I cried out side the closed door till Dad let me in to say good night, I would have stayed longer but for some reason Murph and Ash can not be left with babies just yet, I don't know if it was because they laid on top of the box, trying to get their arms in to shake hands.
Its all so exciting babies and Baby chickens, of course I have no idea what a chicken is, but I do like their fur and they are so colorful, I wonder when they will grow their other legs and a head?

March 28th - Whos bed is it anyway!

I got to go out in the truck yesterday which was not good, I have decided I don't like it.
Yes alright it gets me to new smells and new people and shops that give me treats, and the bank gives me treats, and people stop and fuss me yeah I like all that, just not keen on the ride there, I do like coming back though. I like watching the cars etc and people as we go by.
Mum took me for a walk beforehand so I would not get all "stressed" but I ran off with the dog down the road so she got stressed instead, well it seemed only fair one of us should, and she did not want it to be me did she.
Murphy got some more brushing when we got back and he was looking so smart as he jumped in the mud and puddles. He even was thoughtful enough to jump on Mum to wipe his feet before deciding if he should go in.
I got to play outside nearly all day, playing in the snow and running around, Murph and I were quiet worn out, Murph climbed in my bed and went sleep. I tried to get in there with him but he would not move, I know how Mum and Dad feel now when they are in bed. He lay there, and when I went to lay next to him he gave me the old "Murphy stink eye" so I slept on the floor, how rude he can be. He has this look at times that says we are sib's we share everything, which means we share everything that is mine! But I do love him and he loves me too, he rubs against my legs and give me a kiss, he can walk under me and tickles my tummy with his tail, then he lays down and rolls over showing me his tummy, I can't tickle him though, I do try to lick his tum sometimes, thats funny.
Its good at this time of year to be able to dig up the ground though and make puddles and still roll in the snow, such fun!
Ahh almost time for my Ice cream oh life is so good.
I send my woof, and the secretary send her prayers and best wishes to those who have asked esp CJ, Tug and family.
OHH Murph has got back in my bed while I am busy with this.....sigh!!
