Another Day to Chase a Ball

Hot? You call thisHot?

Why o why am I inside?
Why did daddy bring me inside and tell me i was crazy to be out?
Why is everyone acting so weird?
I'm Australian...I come from the outback. 100 degree weather is no reason to stop playing ball.
Why is Piggens stretched out in front of the fan?
Doesn't anyone see that we are losing valuable playtime here?
I am so frustrated, I can't even put it into words.
Excuse me, i have to walk around in circles for awhile before I nap.
Here's hoping it is cooler tomorrow and mommy isn't so neurotic about me becoming 'overheated'.

Back to Work

I gotta get the ball...gotta get the ball....gotta get the ball...ok.....
gotta get mommy to throw the ball
throw the ball
mommy, throw the ball
throw the ball
I'm sitting, please throw the ball
gotta get the ball
throw the ball
ok - more later - I gotta go get the ball.

I am A country Gentleman

My mommy always was so judgemental about "backyard dogs" when she lived in the city. But I've changed all that. I refuse to come inside during these lovely sunny days.Sure, if it really hot or the bugs are tormenting me too much I've agree to stay indoors for a while.

But if the conditions are right I will simply refuse to move. I will do my best trick , she calls it "pass out". I lay on my side and make myself as heavy as possible. I call it civil disobedience. Life is short and I'm not living it indoors when there is so much beauty outside. I have vague nightmarish memories of living in a big apartment building and taking a crowded elevator down to go for walks. I am staying outside in the grass, under the trees and playing ball quietly by myself. Please leave me alone. Bring me in if it rains.
