An exciting day

Today was a very exciting day.  First of all the weather was lovely...

Then some of my old friends from the Sheriff's department came to visit - Frank and Jerry - they were so happy to see me!  I bounded out of the house and invited them in.  Unfortunately they had to go back to work.

Also a friend of my Dad's came to visit us from far away.  Her name is Holly.  She was so happy to meet me.  She rubbed my tummy, gave me treats and took a lot of pictures of me with a very big camera.  She came with such wonderful smells on her - dogs and cats - multiple dogs and cats!  It was so delicious. I enjoyed sniffing her.  We are now good friends.

A special note to Trixie, Sadie and Sam:  I hope it stops raining where you are and you can lay outside on your tummies in the sun.

A weekend away

On Friday my parents woke me up very early and we drove our camper to an Airstream rally near Gettysburg PA.As usual, I got to make some new human friends and reconnect with those I already knew.  Everyone was very glad to see me and, of course, I was the center of attention and enjoyed myself immensely.

I had a surprise on Sunday when my friends Bob and Cathy (they own Pets Warehouse) came to visit and brought my dear friend Trouper. 

Trouper can be a bit snappy so he stayed in his house most of the time but we were basically in the same space at the same time.  I can be very generous with my space.

Then we drove to a most unusual campground.  

We were the only people there so my parents let me wander around without my leash.  How interesting! 

And my brother came to visit and I was able to sleep with him in the camper.  The next day we went home.  It was a nice weekend.

Things I do

I heard that my canine friend Sadie is very smart and can predict the weather.

I do not predict the weather but I do guard my parent's house.

This is me guarding the house.

Don't I look alert?

Shopping

Sometimes my mom helps me not. Oddly, some stores don't allow canine visitors.

My mom found these at Marshalls and thought they would be great gifts for her and my dad.

This is a picture of me admiring my purchase.

I think I have excellent taste.

Thank you

I'd like to thank all my human and canine friends who said nice things when they heard my grandpa died.

It made me feel much better.

It is good to have friends.

Sad stuff

I must apologize to my human and canine followers for not writing much lately.  It's been very sad here.  My Grandpa was sick and then he died.  He was my Dad's dad and he was very old.  He liked me a lot and I liked visiting him.  He always asked about me when I couldn't come and visit.

My Dad is very sad and my Mom is upset because Dad is sad.   They also have a lot to do to take care of Grandpa's things.  They're out a lot.  I try to help by being good and letting them pet me and talk to me when they want to.  I try not to snore when I sleep.

I hope that things are better soon.

What happened this weekend

I told you that my parents were going away for a long weekend without me (sniff) but that they were having my BFF Melanie stay with me.
Well, you can imagine my surprise when my brother came over on Friday night and then left and then my parents came home with my camper!  What had happened?  As I understand  it, my grandfather was not feeling well and my parents came home so they could visit him.
So Melanie had to go home.  But my mom took a picture of me and Melanie.

Isn't it a beautiful picture of me and my BFF?
