The World according to Hulk

Jason and the squirrel

Greetings from (the incredible) Hulk!

I would like to bark the story about Jason and the squirrel: For a long time. there was a squirrel who, at the first sign of the oncoming dawn, would climb down from his tree and up onto our metal roof above Dad's and my bedroom. He would run back and forth for a while------it sounded like he was wearing combat boots; then he would climb down to the window sill and peek through the window as if to see if we were awake.

Well, we had enough of that, so Dad sent off a mail order, and before long, the UPS man brought a package. When Dad opened it, I looked and saw AN OWL!! He looks real, but isn't. He has motion sensers, that when anyone comes within range, cause him to turn his head and hoot loudly!

Dad named him JASON because in the small animal kingdom, the owl is considered Jason Vorheis without the hocky mask and big knife! (That's Jason of FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH)

Well, the next morning, we heard ol' Mr. Squirrel running around on the roof, so we watched out the window.......and there he came, heading for the window sill. When Jason turned his head and hooted, he took one quick look, turned around and was gone! He came back the next morning to see if the coast was clear-----Jason hooted at him again--and that is the last time he bothered us!

It is DEER SEASON again this year, and Vixen and I have barked ourselves hoarse at the hunters. There are some camped in the National Forest, just beyond our property line. Vixen and I can hear and smell them. Also, truckloads of hunters keep driving back and forth along our road. We are working overtime to make sure that they don't come in our yard!

That's all for now

Photo Shoot

Barks and tail wags from (the incredible) Hulk:

I have a new friend; her name is Kirsten, and she is a professional photographer! I had a photo shoot with her while Dad and I were on our vacation. The photos came in yesterday's mail! I picked some of my and Dad's favorites to post on my DOGSTER page---be sure to check them out!

Well, It seems that winter is on its way again. The nights are getting pretty chilly----no morning frost yet, but it is coming soon, I think. We have all our fire wood cut and stacked, so we are ready. I think I like winter better than summer, because I can go out and play in the snow. Also, the poop-sicles are ripe during the cold weather. I have to be creative when it comes to putting poop out to ripen into poop-sisles, because Dad always goes around looking for them---when he finds one, he throws it away! So I have to look for good places to hide it. Another good thing about winter is that STOVE, the big black monster that sits in the living room is awake and making good heat. Dad feeds him fire wood and he gives me heat. I love to lie next to him.

Your pal.

My Vacation

Well, Dad and I returned from our vacation Saturday. I had a very good time, as usual.

Our camping trip got rained out after three days, so we went to Charlene and Greg's house, and spent the rest of our time doing other things. On the first morning of our camping trip, dad and I went for a long walk on a trail in the forest. Horses had been along the trail, and had had "accidents". I decided to clean up the accidents, but Dad made me stop.

There were so many things to pee on that I went dry. We went down to the lake, where my grand-nieces went swimming. I went in as deep as my ankles.

Charlene, Dad, Phoebe and I went to watch a herding dog competition. I wonder why the dogs do that. It looks like too much work to me-----I'd rather take a nap.

We went to a dog party in Portland, where Dad bought me a new bandanna and some treats. I saw a GIANT! Dad called him a Mastiff. I went over to smell his butt---I wanted to learn if he was a dog or a pony. When we got about ten feet from him, he MADE A FACE at me! Well, I am not a chicken, but I'm no fool, either. Those teeth looked mighty big to me! I scurried back behind Dad, peeked out from behind and made a face right back at that big guy!

Friday afternoon, I got to go to my own professional PHOTOSHOOT!
The photographer is named Kirsten. Her website is www.gooddogphotos.com She will be finished with my photos next week, and I will post some of them on my DOGSTER page.

Your pal,
(the incredible) Hulk
