Neri's View of the World

It's about time

We've moved a couple of times, and I kind of like it here in Virginia in our brand new house. But I don't have a big yard like I did in Florida that I can explore, patrol and loll about in for hours at a time. Now we live in a town house, but I have an upstairs deck off the dining room. Which is great for people watching, I get to look down on them as they walk, or bicycle by, or wait to catch the school bus. We're on an end unit, so I get to see a lot of people going to work or to the grocery store.

Nora REALLY likes it here. She is really outgoing now, barky, spunky, outgoing, exploring things, letting people pet her. Who is this dog? She likes the cooler weather.

We have a lot more stairs to fool with here in this house. I tend to hang out with Alpha, especially when she's in the basement, well it's really the ground floor family room. Nora hangs out on the main floor, she likes the wood flooring up there. She likes to look out the window and bark sometimes.

We take a lot more car rides since we've moved. We've been to Georgia twice. We just came back after spending Christmas there. It was a really long ride for us. We napped and were fed ice chips by our people. We liked it in North Georgia. Lots of smells-deer, rabbits, raccoons, cats, dogs, the creek at the bottom of the property. That was great!! The trip took a lot out of us, all that driving, so after we got back we just slept all day the next day. Alpha went to work, Number 1 had the day off.

Next weekend I think we're going to Pennsylvania to visit Bella Bagel--She's a beagle-basset mix. She's about a year old. And since she's still a puppy she can be annoyingly feisty. But her people are OK.

we've moved

We moved northern to Virginia. It took us two days, stopping every two hours for breaks. We stopped over night at Bonnie the dog's house in North Carolina. Her people are very nice, and she has a pet baby too.

Bonnie was really obedient. I think Alpha started getting ideas. Nora didn't want to drink water on the trip, so Alpha had to keep reaching back and giving her ice chips as she drove. Silly Nora. Number One drove the moving van. Our little pack was together at every rest break.

Our collie car is now called Dog Force One. We had never been on a trip that long before. We did really well: no accidents, no fighting in the car, no body got off leash. Once we got to the new place Nora promptly threw up. What a silly dog.

Bark!

need new ghost writer

alpha has not written in so long I think she forgot how. we are moving and they keep taking us out so other people can look at OUR house, very annoying. but nora has been back to accupupture, well that's what I call it. it makes her spunky. and she is better.

alpha looked up how old we are in some dog book, according to this book, nora & i are middle aged. bummer, I still feel like a pup!
