Fireflies!

What?

What can I say? I'm a growing puppy and sometimes I just need a little extra chow. Mom only ate half of her hamburger and onion rings and sat the plate on the arm of the couch. I knew she was watching me, so I had to wait and think of a way to get to it before she threw it in the trash. Voila! The phone rang and I knew this was my only chance. I was on that burger before she was able to say 'hello' and away I went. But I didn't count on how fast mom was and she caught me and took what was left of it away from me. (hee hee, I got two bites) If it's good enough for her, why can't I have some? She told the person on the phone something about my 'delicate tummy'. Whatever! Then, she said I was like a toddler who gets into everything when you aren't looking or are busy. What's a toddler?

Halloween!

Mom went out and bought me a moose costume at a yard sale. It was cute, but was a little to big for me. Thank goodness, because what I really want to be for Halloween is a ladybug! I saw it on a sales flyer in this Sunday's paper. I begged and put on my cutest face until mom said 'okay' and went to Target to buy it for me. It was soooo cute, I couldn't stop myself from playing with it as soon as she got it home. I accidentally nearly ripped one of the antenna off, so now mom has to sew it back on. As long as it's ready for Halloween, I'll be happy!!!

New Adventure!

Last weekend, mom and I had a new adventure! She took lots of stuff out to the car and I was so afraid she would forget me!!! But she didn't. Finally, we both got into the car and headed out of the driveway. Sometimes, mom takes me to work where I get to see lots of kids and we play and the kids give me lots of hugs. Sometimes, we go to a house where there are several kids who call mom 'grma'. They play with me,too. But today, mom drove out onto the highway and we drove for a long time. Mom stopped at the place I'd seen once before several months ago. I was soooo excited...it was the lake! We went for walks and mom fished. After supper, we all went out on the boat. I got to sit up front where I could see all the action. The only part I didn't like was when the water hit me in the face and got me all wet. (I'd just had my hair done earlier in the week, you know!) When we got back to shore, it was dark and we had to make our way over to the camper while walking through tall grass...did I mention it was DARK? I had a best ride...mom carried me:) Later, we all sat around the campfire and roasted marshmallows. When we went to bed, I got to sleep in the camper. It was such a blast! By the time mom and I left to go home, I was exhausted. Luckily, mom has a/c in her car and I stretched out and took in the cool air all the way home. It was a fun weekend, but I needed my beauty sleep and was very glad to get home and see my toys and stuff.
