Ivan's Vacation Diary

Monday

Monday: Good morning!! yes, my family is coming home today. I'm siked! I can't wait to see my kids. This family is nice and they take good care of me, but they sure are boring. I need my kids!!! I need my yard too. I seriously need to stretch my legs and run like the wind! Can't wait.

The Mom went to work and the kids slept all day....but the Dad got up and let me out for a while. When the Mom came home, I was so excited. I thought she was gonna take me home. But she said I had to wait. So, we sat outside for a bit, and then wrestled a bit and then I played with the talking toy for a while. Then, a car pulled in and I went nuts! Is that my people??? Is that my people??? no, it isn't. But it's other people. And a little girl. I love little girls. I miss my little girls! But this one will do for now. I ran out and wiggled on up to her and gave her kisses. The people visited for a while and I swear, I just couldn't control my wiggle. Then I went back outside with the little girl and watched the Mom clean up poop. Then I watched Moo-cow, the kitty run around the yard. She stays just outside of my reach...the little brat! Anyway, I was just hangin out in the yard, and then,,,,,and then...I hear that familiar voice...say Ivan! Ivan. Ivan...and I look and I see him.....MY DAD! My FAMILY....My MOM...and MY KIDS!!!!! OMG...I couldn't contain myself. I thought My butt was gonna wiggle right off. They came back. They came back from vacation and they have come to take me home HOME! HOME SWEET HOME!

nice to vacation and get away for a while...but it is GREAT to go home!

Love, Ivan

Sunday

Sunday: The Mom got up first and the morning went pretty much as usual. Then the Mom and the girl went to church and she left me out of the crate with the Dad. I did my usual thing....played by myself with the toys, and got in Stewy's face and made him bark, and then I'd chase the cats for a while. It was like hide-and seek this time. The cat hid in the garage and I found her, and barked until Stewy came and yelled at me. When the Mom got home, we all went out on the back porch for a while, and then the Mom and the Dad left. They were going to Gramma's for dinner. They didn't take me. boo-hoo! When they all came home, they had the girls with them and we just hung out, and the Mom washed dishes and all of us dogs just layed around on the kitchen floor. I think this is the last night...so I'm just gonna relax and enjoy my last night of vacation. Ho hum!

Saturday

Saturday:We slept in late today. We just laid around and watched TV for a while, and then we went for a walk. The Dad went with us this time. We walked down the street and back. This time it was just me and Maizie. then me and Maizie walked with just the Mom down the other street and back. Maizie wanted to chase rabbits, and so did I, but the Mom wouldn't let us. We stopped and visited the neighbor dogs through the fence. They were nicer than they looked from the back porch. After our walk I finished up my breakfast and then the Mom had to leave. She was gone all day. I stayed out with the Dad and the other dogs all day. Maizie laid on the chair with the Dad, and me and Stewy took our spots on the couch....opposite ends, of course. I stayed out of my cage all day! I tried to be real good, and not instigate any arguements with Stewy. But geez, he grumbles about everything! But it was all good. Then Mom came home and would you believe....she did MORE laundry! then we did the walk thing again. The Dad walked Maizie and the Mom walked me. Then we came back and Stewy got to go for a walk by himself. I sat by the door and waited for them to come back. Oh and did I mention...more STEAK dinner. Oh yeah! Then the Mom kicked us all out of the kitchen and put up the gate so she could mop the floor. When she was done, and moved the gate...the cat ran past me and I chased it into the kitchen, and slip all the way under the kitchen table. I guess the floor was still wet! Long day...time for bed.
