Taffy's interesting thoughts for rainy days

All the news

Well, apparently my prayers have been answered and we are moving again. Mom says we are going to Grandma's, but I'm not sure I trust her. It has to be better than apartment living though. I've hated being here for the past 8 months. So it will be good to go, although seeing all the boxes come back out is some cause for concern. We'll just have to see what happens. We never did start agility classes here. I miss agility, it was so much fun. Don't know if there is any place where I can do agility in the new place or not. Mom says no, but maybe we can find something. I just hope it is more fun and less boring. I hope we get to go on more walks and do more playing outside. I miss laying in the sun, especially in the morning, but Mom says it is too hot outside. I hope it cools off soon.
Well, I don't have much more to say. I'll try to be better about annoying mom to do my typing for me and keep everyone better informed about what I'm doing most days. She'll talk about what she does, but doesn't spread the word about Carly and me. That will have to change.

OMG, a lot has happened

I know, Mom says you should never start a blog with "I'm sorry it has been so long since I posted anything", but I really am sorry.
See, Mom packed me and Carly and all our stuff up in October and put us on a plane to the other side of the world. We live in DE now, and I'm not sure we like it all that much. When we got here, none of our stuff was here, it took a couple of weeks for everything to show up and Tasha never showed up so what am I supposed to do for a playmate? We live in what mom calls a part ment. I don't much care for it. It's small, too many other people live just outside my door and I bark at them all, and I don't know which is worse but it doesn't have a dog door and there is never a direct sunbeam for me to lay in and I love my sunbeams.
We've had a couple of snow days, I likes the snow, except that I get snowballs between my toes and they really piss me off so I have to chew them out. Mom bought me boots, but I think I look silly in them so I just stand there and look like I'm being punished.
We did find a couple of really cool places to hang out, there is one called Lums Pond and mom lets us run around without a collar on, which is really cool. We also went to the Beach for Thanksgiving. I'm not so sure about those wave things, but I liked the sand and the wind lots.
I finally got introduced to my Grandparents. They live on this great big place called a farm, but it looks like a huge park to me. Theres lots of good smelly stuff to roll in, mom says its cow manure and makes me take a bath afterwards, but it worth it just to roll and roll in it. I think green is my color.
I think what I like the least is Mom's new work. She is there too many days of the week, she's always tired and sometimes she takes us there and puts us in a cage. I hate being in the cage. I don't like the other dogs. It just sucks there, I'd rather stay home. I think mom has finally figured that out.
Oh, and we have a new roommate, or that's what mom calls her. We almost never see her, but I can here her behind her door. She thinks I'm cute, I'm not so sure how I feel about her. At least I've stopped barking at her.
Well, I've got to go howl at the door some more. I know there are evil creatures out there trying to kill us so I must scare them off before they can.
Oh, Mom says we'll move again in a year or so. She says we are going to build a farm on Grandma and Grandpa's park. That will be cool, although Mom says that I can't roll in the sweet smelly stuff if we move there. I'll fix it, I'll do it anyway, she'll learn to appreciate it.

What does 'moving' mean?

I finished my last Advanced Handling Agility course tonight. I missed agility last week 'cause mom was out of town and there was no one to take me. I wasn't very happy about that. I did pretty good tonight, Mom had to drag me around a bit and I got mad at her and refused to go through a tunnel. I figured that would show her. She said she was sorry and so I forgave her. I have a pretty good mom.
Anyway... mom was out of town last week cause she says we are moving and she was finding us a place to live. She says we are going to Delaware. I don't know where that it, but I think it is far away. Mom is busy putting everything into boxes, which I just don't understand. She says I'm going to have to ride in the belly of a plane. I've never done that before. Mom is really worried about that, I can tell. She also says we are going to live in an apartment. I don't know if I like the sound of that she says we won't have a yard anymore. She also said Tasha isn't going with us, or lumpkin. I don't know what I will do all day without my playmate Tasha.
So, if someone could explain to me what moving is and why we are doing this I would really appreciate it. Truthfully I just don't want to let mom out of my sight, she was gone for too long and I missed her. Mostly, I missed agility, but that's another story.
Mom did say that she's trying to find us a place to do agility in DE, but she's trying to make sure that she finds a place that has a sense of humor so we can enjoy it and not work so hard. I will miss Diana and Carrie, they have been great teachers. I love Seattle Agility Center. I'm not sure I want to move. I don't think it sounds like a good idea.
