THE LIFE OF A RESCUED POUND PUPPY IN HER OWN WORDS

THIS PUPPY MISSES THE OCEAN ALREADY

I had so much fun running in the sand and where M.O.M.and M.O.D. called the 'surf' that I already wish we were back there. I have never felt so free and I was amazed how fast I could run.

Of course I did spend some time helping M.O.M. find some real pretty bird feathers. So when I was time to go both of us really didn't want to leave! But I am sure we will be back here real soon.

I FOUND THE OCEAN-THAT'S A GIANT POND!

WOW!! I have never seen such a giant pond of water in my life! I think I like this new place.

M.O.D. took me out near the edge if of this big pond and let me get in the water. It was fun but the water sure tasted strange.

M.O.M and M.O.D. threw my ball for me several times and I couldn't believe how good it felt to run so fast on this stuff they call sand.

Then I found a whole bunch of big white birds that didn't seem very afraid of me so I took off after them. They did make a lot of noise and of course flew up just enough so I couldn't get to them and kind of just ignored me. But it was fun pretending anyway that I was the Great Hunter.

This is a photo of me and M.O.M. when she made me sit down and rest after running so hard trying to chase that fun ball. It is held on a long stick so when she throws it it can sail really far very easily. You can see she is holding the stick with the ball stuck to it behind her back cause I always try to grab it if I can see it. The stick helps make it so much fun to run real fast after the ball.

But as you can guess, the moment we returned to the motel room I fell asleep almost instantly. This feels so good.

I sure hope M.O.D. and M.O.M. can find us a new home here cause I really like this thing they call the 'ocean'.

I THINK THERE ARE PLANS FOR A ROAD TRIP

I think I overheard M.O.M. and M.O.D. making plans to take another road trip. And I am pretty sure I get to go too!!!! Wahoo! It may be a few days before I can post again but I will be sure to get a lot of pictures. Well, M.O.M. will get me plenty of pictures! I keep hearing the word "ocean" and I am not sure what that means but they both seem happy about it. So I am excited to find our what that is. I just hope "ocean" means fun for puppies!

HORNET MYSTERY SOLVED

M.O.M. has mentioned to M.O.D. several times this summer that she was surprised by the lack of Hornets on our back deck. Summers past they were always busy building thier nests in the eaves of the deck and bothering M.O.M. and M.O.D. all summer long.

But not this summer.

Then today when M.O.M. and I were out in the back yard near my kennel, she noticed that almost all of the leaves on the large Lilac bush have fallen off already. Then we suddenly looked up and there was a very large Hornets nest on a Lilac branch just above my kenne!

This ugly nest is actually the size of a basketball!! Oh My Gosh!

I think it's probably a good thing we didn't know it was there as we both would have been very scared! So it is being removed to make sure these mean little creatures do not take up residence above my kennel again next summer.

WHY THE DOG RAN AWAY FROM HOME!!

YIKES!!!

M.O.M. IS BUSY TODAY

M.O.M. was busy on the computer a lot today so I kept myself real close to her in case she decided to go outside because I wanted to go with her if she did.
It was pretty comfortable while she was on her computer because she used her laptop in the living room so I took this opportunity to take a great nap. Gosh, why does my pillow feels so hard??

I got real excited when I went out the back door to the deck and saw Cat Sister. I thought, "Oh my gosh...she is finally in jail where she belongs!!!" Then I realized she was just napping under the footstool M.O.M. uses out there when she is reading her books. Rats.

M.O.M. IS A BIT UPSET WITH ME

M.O.M. and I went on a wonderful walk today because the sun was shining and the air felt so good. But of course I didn't stop to realize how warm it really was cause I was running like the wind everywhere!

By the time we turned around to head home I had made myself kind of over heated and I kind of collapsed in front of M.O.M. in some shade on our dirt road. She sat down at the edge of the road and waited with me.

M.O.M. made me lay there until my panting had slowed down and my tongue was no longer dragging on the road!

So after I had cooled down a bit we started on our way back home. Of course I stayed pretty close to her cause I was really just to tired to run anymore. Finding water in the irrigation ditch was a wonderful treat for me today!!!

And of course as you know by the time we venture out again I will have no memory of making myself so hot and uncomfortable. And I know that M.O.M. will once again forgive me for my short memory!! I sure love M.O.M.

WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO NAP?

Oh, that's looks a little awkward....

Well, that does look like it could be nice and warm...

Oh, now that looks a bit more comfy...

That does have a good purpose...in case you wake up real hungry...

Now that looks good as long as no one moves!

That's a good way to keep mom from using the computer to much...

I can't stay awake when I read too much either!!

A FUN DOG DAY

I rode with M.O.M. to pick up M.O.D. after he had gotten off work today. I love watching where we are going and seeing all the birds flying around the fields on the way.

No... I am not wearing my seat belt...don't tell anyone!!!
