Rosie - Little Dog Diary

Pillows are for Super Models

Hi there! What are you doing? I just had some barley soup Gramma made. It was really good. I like soup a lot especially if Gramma or Grampa cook it!

I babysat today! Mama had to go to work so I babysat 8 people at Gramma's house today. It was fun! When Ma got home, she said "You have to come be a supermodel at home now." And we walked outside to go home. I barked around outside for a little bit because it's fun. I mosied into the house and she said "Hurry up, I'm going to sleep and if you want to, hurry up!!". I hurried and by the time she showed up, I was laying with my head on the pillow "snoring" in the middle of the bed. She said "Move over." I just act like I don't hear her. She squeezed in and used some of my pillow. She's got a trick of scratching my belly and I roll off the pillow to the side of the bed, forgetting that I was hogging the bed and pillow. Sigh. I like my belly scratched.

I can count to two - One, Two!

Mumma counts out dog food for me, one to six. I like that and she always says, One, Two, Me and You, Mumma and Baby! and me, I'm Baby.

A couple of nights ago, I ran out to the bird feeder and I ran straight into a real live rabbit! I was so surprised I started grooming the rabbit like I groom my fuzzy toys with tiny bites to clean. The rabbit stayed for a number of seconds then he ran off real slow. I ran after him even slower! I like rabbits. Don't call them bunnies - I'm The Only Bunny there is!

I'm a big girl now. I stay outside for up to five minutes by myself! Usually, I want mumma out there or I won't go outside. Now I sit on the porch. Mumma has to keep the door open to see me or it's no good.

A Baby Oriole Flew Into the House!

Mama opened the screen door wide so me and kitty could run in and out of the house. We like playing and sleeping in the house and only go outside sometimes for not very long. Mama says we should blow the stink off once in a while.

Mama was watching her tv show when there was a bit of a commotion by the back door. She thought it was the cat. I went over there to check it out. It was a baby oriole!

He was really cute! He had big eyes and very short tail feathers. He was scared of me! Ma came over to see what I was doing. I was following that baby bird around!

Mama looked outside and the Birdy Daddy was flying around anxiously from tree to tree calling his baby.

Birdy Daddy knew his baby was in the house. Mama talked gently to the baby bird and shooed him out. He landed on the blooming clematis and then flew to the pear tree. He was just learning to fly.

Birdy Daddy seen his baby in little pear tree. Mama told me to come in the house. I did. We left them alone to reunite.

Mama hugged me and told me that I was a good girl because I never barked or growled at the baby. I followed him but that was it. I was so curious!

We have so many baby birds around the house. Mama ignores them so they won't be scared of her. Today we looked at the wren nest though.
