It's been awhile since Mom posted anything on my diary. We've been busy every weekend working in the woods cutting fire wood for camping & building fires to burn up the brush & tree tops. Well, Mom & Dad have been busy doing that, while us dogs run around the fields digging up field mice. My Weim sister, Wren, even got a field mouse all by herself. Whewwww Whooooo! That's a big deal for her.....or Dad made a big deal out of it. (rolling eyes in head) I do it all the time & she is SUPPOSE to be a hunting dog. Yea, right! But we do have a ball running around & digging holes. We are still finding bones back there too. We usually play so hard on Sat. that when we go back on Sun. we mostly lay around & watch Mom & Dad. I have been known to fall asleep on the seat of the ranger for several hours. Of course, I am in full coat & Mom has a time getting all the weeds, dirt & briars out of my hair.
This winter is really dragging on. By this time last year, we had already been camping. It's been unusually cold here, cloudy & just down right depressing.
Oh, I am learning a new trick. Now keep in mind I am not a youngster anymore--I am five years old! I am learning to do 'patty-cake' with Mom. Yea, I know, that's kinda of a baby's game for an big girl like me! But Mom thinks it's a big deal because I would give "high-fives" but would only use my right paw. I would Never use my left paw. Mom was playing with me one night & I started giving her "high-fives" with my left paw. Mom was really excited & started singing the "patty-cake" song. Well, now this was kinda fun. Mom would give me a treat after 4 patties, then I would go 6 patties before a treat so that's how I learned to play "patty-cake" with her. She thinks it's fun so I humor her--mainly for the treats though. :-)
Well, that's about all I can think to tell her to put in my diary for now. I want to go read my doggie pals diaries to see what they have been up to.
Bark at you all later.........Shelby
