There and back again, a puppy's tail.

Summer days

Wow it's been a while since I barked an entry. Well I am a bussy doggie and I don't always feel much like tying on the computer.
merri has been with us a whole year now! I was afraid she would be like Cassidy and leave after a few months but she stayed. She is my best pal and I do really like having a sister, even if she does get some of the treats.

I'm really excited about my food. They finally made it in different flavors. I was so bored with the same thing day after day so I started spiting them at mom because I just could not eat another chicken flavored Evo kibble. So mom went and got me this really tasty frozen raw food and I love it. But mom says it is a little expensive so I can't have just the Natures Variety (that's it's name) but this week she came home with red meat Evo! OH JOY!!!! She says ther is other kinds too so now I won't have to be bored anymore. I just don't understand how Merri can eat the same stuff day after day. She will eat anything. But she likes the new flavors too.

Today we went to the doggie park so Merri can run. I'm not a bigh fan of it myself but Merri gets so excited whn mom tells us we are going and I am excited for her. She loves to run and run and play with the other dogs. me I don't like thos big dogs adn I tell them so. I nip their noses and send them running away. Mom says I have to make friends and I migh actually learn to enjoy playing there. She wishes she could take us more often but it is a far drive and she does not often have time or gass for it. I told mom I'll try to be nicer to those dogs but man they are just so pushy and invade my space.

I don't much like what happens after the doggie park. We come home and get a bath! Can you believe it? I mean I finally get to roll in something stinky and get muddy and mom washes all that good stinky off! Oh horrors!!!!
But it sure is fun to dry off in the sun.

In fact I think I'll go take a nap while I can. Mom has to work later.

Pony tails

Well after a whole year of not being able to riding with mom things have goten so much better. I know Merri aleready told you all about the big dogs but I thought I'd put in my two woofs too.

Mom took us to a new place for the first time about two weeks ago. Actually she only took me because she knew I'd be good and not run off. There was my old friend Baby in her stall and I helped mom feed her and the other horse, Mae bell. I was so glad to go to a farm again but I must confess I could not resist eating a bit of poo. Mom hates it but I just love horse poo.

Mom took Merri too a few days later and we went for a ride. Boy am I out of shape! I had a hard time keeping up on just a short ride. The next time mom got my bag out and I rode with mom most of the ride while Merri ran along beside us. But Merri smelled a deer and ran after it and mom was really worried that she would not come home. But soon Merri came running back. She has so much fun running around the farm when mom takes us there.

Mom got a special whislte to call us when we get too far away. I ,of course, always stay close to mom but Merri likes to run really far. She is good though and comes back when she is whistled for. Mom is going to take pics of us riding this week I hope and put some on our pages.

dog park, vcation blues

Well last week sure was rough. It started out great mom was no vacation. We slept in and took long walks each day and Mom took us to the south park dog park where I watched meri Play with the other dogs there. I am getting used to going there but all those big dogs running around scare me a little so I make sure to tell them I'm a mean dog and leave me alone. I stay close to mom mostly though this time I did go and sniff and I did meet one little puppy that I liked.

But then the bad part of vacation happened. Mom left me for 4 whole days! I knew she was up to something in the morning I just knew and when she got in the car and left somehow I knew she would not be back soon and I cried and cried at the door. Fay tried to make me feel better. She let me sleep in her bed and she tried to give me treats and feed me out of her hand but I didn't want to eat. I really missed my mom.

After the four days mom came home and I just kissed her all over for a long time. i sat right on her chest and would not let her get away again.

Well things have seetled down back to normal or at least untill friday morning. We went for our morning walk and mom saw a kitty. After she took us home she left again and came back with the kitty. It was thin and hungery and I really did not like to have another kitty to try to take mom's attention so I barked at her. But mom said she was only staying for a little whil. That's good because that kitty did not like me or merri and Calli was really angry that she was there. That cat stayed right on the front porch acting like she owned the place until this morning. Then Mom loaded us all in the car, kitty in her cat carrier and we went to a place wher a nice man came and took the kitty out and when mom got in the car agin there was no more kitty. Mom says she is in her new home. I'm glad mom helped the kitty but I'm even more glad that it is not here anymore.

Well mom says we might go to the park tonight so I better get a nap and make sure I'm energetic for playing. this time maby I'll make some friends...nah.
