Chasing the Recall in New England

One for all and all for one!

Hi. Begonia sat down and talked to me about what was going on. The old girl went away, came back, smelled different and hobbles around--she must have had hip dysplasia! and had to stay with the vet. Anyway, she keeps talking about when she can drive again and take me to the woods to run. I can wait. Hannah has been coming over and brought Luna today so there is enough going on to keep me busy. Plus the neighbor's door keeps opening and closing so we have a lot of protecting to do. Hey! We're still getting used to Chico trotting around! Life is good . . . just a little less excitement than usual.

Finally a good run after all that rain

The farmers say "a rainy May makes a barn full of hay" but enough already! Yesterday it was sunny and we all piled in the car, some friends came alone and I had a terrific, raucous, chipmunk-chasin' run in the woods! it was great. Took a cold swim in a deep fast moving part of the brook and I paddled in place until the ol' girl called me "come." That was fun! I'm thinking of going to Beijing to enter the Olympics for woods frolic events!

Chico is here!

Way early in the morning the phone rang and the ol' girl got dressed and went out. When she came back she brought Chico with her. He was a little perplexed. We didn't bark or anything and he slept in the den with us, me on the floor and the rest of them on the bed. It's raining, but we've been out twice for a walk already today. So Chico is a good thing for me!
