Life of a Drifter

TDI dog?

BTW: TDI is the name of Therapy Dogs International- and I might get my TDI certificate soon! Sis is SO excited about how I might fufill sissy's dream- to have trained a therapy dog! I know ALL of what I gotta do, now I just have to find a time and place for me to get tested- how exciting!!!!! Sis is kinda worried that i might fail- *pshaw* me? FAIL? NEVER!!! Bol! I will make sure to update this as soon as I get my TDI test finished!!

I got to go on ANOTHER ride!

Yesterday Sissy wanted to go walking but didn't want to have to keep watching for cars coming down our road. SOOO..she chose to try out the new comunity track and guess who got to come- ME!!! Sis wanted to be safe so she brought me with her cuz I'm sweet but I look mean since I'm black- jeez how racist is THAT!- anyways, Sis loaded me up and we went there. Sis SUCKED at this- we spent a good 5 minutes trying to find the entrance then trying to find a place that looked like you were supposted to park there. FINALLY she finds one that suits her good and unloads me. I can't WAIT! There are SO many smells and sights! OHHHH-I was in doggie heaven! There was only one other pair of walkers out there and they seemed like snobs to me- heck, we walked past them and they didn't even throw out a passing 'Aww!' as they walked by! Not even a flinch as if they were scared of me! JEEZ- the SNOBS! I was SO offened but sis told me that if they didn't think I was cute then I was better off peeing on them than licking them hello! I agree! We walked around and when the trail bracnch off she let ME choose which way to go EVERY time! I was having a ball. There is a water treatment plant back there though and the noise kinda scared me- not to mention the REEK! It smelled like a litter box that hadn't been changed in a month- at least that is what Sissy said it smelled like- I couldn't describe it myself. We finally got back to the truck and Sis felt bad cuz she couldn't find a dish for me to drink outta- sure there was a pond on the track but it STUNK just like the water plant so Sis thought it couldn't do me any good to drink that filthy stuff so we just loaded up and went back home so I could get me some nice CLEAN water. I hope we can go again some day- as long as Sis brings me a watrer dish and water!

I GOT WHEELS!!!

On Monday, sissy got home and brought Brandon- my human brother- and his friend too. Well after daddy left for work, Brandon and his friend took our golfcart for a drve up the road. They were JUST about to turn around and apparently somthing gave out cuz it stoped- just STOPPED! Well...Brandon's friend had his cell phone and called Sissy. Sissy got a length of chain and then let me come with her. MY FIRST PICKUP RIDE!!!! I was SO happy- well except sissy wouldn't let Abbie come cuz there are soem dogs on the way to where Brandon and them were and Abbie will jump off while it is still driving and keep on running and try to attack them- bummer...oh well! Sis took off and I was happy as could be until I got cocky and tried standing on the tool box- sis saw and steped on the brakes so I'd fall onto my butt in the bed of the pickup. I learned my lesson and didn't do it again. Once we got there, we hitched the golfcart to the truck with the rope in the golfcart, we only got about 10ft. before it broke- oops! Oh well- they tried the chain, it didn't even last THAT long! So...me and sis go back, I jump off to play with Abbie for awhile and then sis loads me back up after she gets a better chain and we're off!!! We start down the road only to see them pushing their way home now! BOL! We hooked 'em up and started back home at a bilstering pace of just barely 5 mph! BOL- sissy told me to put that! Along the way the neighbor's labs (not my doggy Daddy's family) barked and since we were moving so slow they came out and- can you BELIVE the NERVE of them?- started following us! We finally get home and I get to tell Abbie that....NANNY-NANNY BOO-BOO! I got a real-ride before YOU! BOL!
