Catch up 2

My mom is sooooooo sorry that it's been so long since I've written, but she's been very busy. My grandpup and grandmum both celebrated birthdays, and my uncle came all the way from North Dakota, and we cooked and shopped and ate and talked and laughed and even cried a little, but it was a wonderful several days.

THEN she left me alone all weekend. Going off with friends SHE said. Abandoning ME said I. Sure my favorite neighbor came and stayed with me both nights. Yes, he fed me wonderful food, and yes, we went for long walks together, but STILL!!!

Well, she came back, and we're settling into a routine again. I even got to go to doggy day care today! All morning and all afternoon OUTSIDE, with a nice nap in between. It helped to erase last night's post-walk b-a-t-h experience. Harumph. She caught me in my swimming pool and there I had to stay until she soaped me up (okay, so the scrubbing did feel pretty good) and rinsed me off, then rinsed me off again. Something about not wanting to leave any soap in my fur. Duh! Then why did she soap me up in the first place? I was finally smelling good!

Hey, I think I forgot to tell you about the three handsome young men we met before things got so busy! Oh my goodness, they were tall, charming, and soooo goodlooking! They asked what kind of dog I was, and before the cat could lick her ear mom had me performing all my tricks right there on the corner for them! I must say, they were a most appreciative audience, so I did my very best for them. Then they asked if I would do tricks for someone else. She rightly replied that I did, but only sometimes! Well for these gents I was definitely up for it! They quickly learned that they had to take turns, and say my name so I knew who to look at. Whoa! I must have bowed, shook hands, toasted (our version of sit-up), Lambeau Leaped, and even my new rock and roll for hours until the treats ran out and our new friends strode away. I was sooo tired, but I felt sooo good too! I hope we see them again - or that they come and see me online.

Mom says she's given my card to lots more people. Here's hoping they'll say 'hi' when they come to visit me online! And now it's time to turn in. Happy dreams my friends!
