Dog Days of Summer


Wow! It's been a really long time since I had time to blog! And the summer is flying by, isn't it? Sheesh! I can hardly believe I'm almost a year old! I wonder if they're planning a surprise party....?
It's been really really hot here and I'm not so crazy about THAT. It's hard being me when it's hot. We only get to go for little short walks, so I flop around and sigh alot so the mommas know I'm not impressed. But we've been spending lots of time at the farm, and there I can wander around all I want and take myself for swims to keep cool (and sometimes if I remember, I bark when people drive in like a real grown-up dog!)so THAT part of summer's okay.
I get in trouble for lots of stuff out there too. Like once or twice my nose has led me astray and 'waaay down the gravel road where I'm not supposed to be by myself. (I got in DEEP for THAT! But there are so many things to explore! It's hard to resist.) Other things I've been hollered at for (so far) include stealing tools off the shop floor when it turns out the people are still using them, tromping through the garden, and taking ALL the plastic pop bottles out of the recycling box and tucking them around outside. (They're NOT just recycling, people! They're TOYS!) I'm slowly making friends with the farm Leave-its, but they're pretty tough so I have to be patient (grrrrr!) AND the funnest thing of all? I learned to ride on the ATV! When I hear it start I jump right on and go for a ride (love that wind in my face!). I'm going to ask for a helmet though I think, 'cuz these bugs are hard to get out of my teeth! And hi-five or no hi-five, nobody likes a girl with buggy teeth.

Hey Kinka, you should get the Moms to teach you how to take the lids off those plastic bottles, that's great entertainment...my people let me play the Perrier kind, but I am pretty sure they all work.

My Dear Friend Kinka,
It's good to hear from you. It's been a while.
I was just thinking about you and how my mom used to watch you when you were just little, on the puppycam. You and Roo have grown up so much and are such beautiful girls.
My life has been rather boring lately. My mom is in the hospital learning how to walk on her new hips. I am allowed to visit her, but it's not the same thing as having her at home.
I'm glad to hear you are having a fun summer. The farm sounds like such a cool place to hang out. Too bad you live so far away.
Say "Hi" to your mommas for me. My momma sometimes listens to your momma Jen on her computer at the hospital.
Your buddy,
Zip
