A dog's life by Abby McCrarey

Reno

This weekend Mom, Dad and me went to Reno. We live about 3 hours from Reno. My family went there to check out some condos. We took a walk on the Riverwalk. It was very pretty. A guy was walking down the street and when he saw me he stopped and petted me. He said I was doing great
"walking around on three legs". I don't understand what he means. We stayed in a motel. I slept with Mom. Dad wanted me to sleep with him, but I always sleep with Mom and then he comes to bed later. This time the bed was small so Dad slept by himself in the other bed. I was very good, but was very glad to be home.

A trip to Death Valley

We just got home from a little vacation to Death Valley. My people went there to see the flowers. We went it the RV. I'm not crazy about the RV. Why would someone want to sleep in that car thing when we have a perfectly good, very comfortable bed at home. I got lots of bar-b-que treats and I got very dirty. There were lots of people there to throw me the tennis ball. They didn't like it when I put the ball in the firepit. They just don't know what good fun is.

The latest happenings

It's been quite a while since Mom added anything to my diary, but here goes. We went to Bakersfield for Thanksgiving. My Mom's sister Helen lives there. She has two doggies, Olive and Goody. They are Maltese and they like to bark at me. I bark back too. It makes lots of noise and everybody tells us to be quiet, but we don't. There was lots of food there. My human brother Jason and his new wife Noelle drove up from Long Beach. I was glad to go home.
Two weeks later when Mom was taking me for a walk two dogs decided they did not like me and they tried to bite me. Their owner was yelling at them and chasing them, but they were bad dogs and did not obey. My Mom had to pick me up so they would not tear me apart. One of the dogs bite me on the side. It was very scary. I'm okay and Mom and Dad were very worried about me. They let me go with them all day in the car. I was pampered even worse than I ususally am.
Christmas was very nice. I got a scarf and doggie treat from my friend Roxy. Jason and Noelle came up to see us. They stayed for more than a week. I got lots of food. Now both Mom and me need to go on a diet.
