Colt's Life

My Day = Bath + Food

Today, I was given a bath. Yuck. Now, swimming is one thing. You get to move around, splash, and have fun. In a bath, you have to hold still while cold, soapy water is rubbed and scrunched all through your fur.

So, after thirty minutes of brushing (so my fur wouldn't clog the drain), I was dumped in four inches of ice water, while mom poured water on my hair. Then, after having a glob of blue gunk smeared all over me, I got soaked with more water to "rinse off".

But I got my revenge later. My family went of shopping, and came home with a pig ear and a bag of beef jerky, for me! But, they decided I wouldn't get to eat any of my jerky until the next day, so I grabbed my pig ear and chewed it in my crate.
Fifteen minutes later, Mom comes into my room, and sees that I've stolen the jerky bag and eaten all of it. Yay!

So, even though I did get a bath, it was a pretty good day, don't you think?

What does the fall mean to YOU?

What does fall mean to you? To me, it means awesome food! Hey, It's pumpkin pie and turkey season, you know. I get all the leftovers, because Sammy refuses to eat table scraps, the little weirdo.

It also means that the trees drop their little toys on the ground. Then your owner rakes 'em into a pile, and you jump in them and tear around.

It means birds and squirrels like crazy! Today, a gigantic flock of noisy blackbirds decided to invade the neighbor's property. I barked. A lot. Teehee.

It's Autumn, Baby!

Cats are Weird

It's not that I don't LIKE Sammy. I would love to make friends with her. But whenever I try to introduce myself, she runs away. I don't get it. What'd I ever do to her?

She, on the other hand, isn't always very nice. Today she sat just beyond my reach, and strted teasing me. I started barking at her, until Mom came and made her go outside and stop teasing me. Then she gave me a walk and we practiced training in the yard for awhile. I like people more than cats. Cats are weird, but cool. I guess.
