My Summer

Its been awhile since my blog was updated, 76 days to be exact according to the counter. I know this has had many of you barking at the moon with wonder as to where I have been. Some have even written, like my friends Tucker and Sascha; worried, I was no longer above the ground and pulling my usual pranks and antics around my owner. Rest assured, I am alive and kickin' dirt still. I am sure I will be around for many more years if not only but to pester my owner.

I know many of my pals are wondering what I did this summer since I was hardly around. I tell you, my owner has kept me busy. I have many stories about my travels and summer vacation, my times at the beach and about the newest addition of a family member. (who I still am not liking that he is around)

The last I left off is where my owner gave me my "summer" cut. it was real short. he promised to post the pictures, but still hasnt. Maybe since he is out here now, he will upload some. I will shoot him my puppy'est dog look. If you see new pics, you know it worked. So do feel free to try that at home. (I am sure you have)

Anyway, I have been all over this summer. It seems my owner has been around a lot lately. Must be feeling guilty finally for leaving me home so much since the split last summer. He has been leaving when it is dark and coming home when it was dark. But since a few months ago, well, when we stopped writing, he has been around a LOT more and taking me everywhere.

We are going out for long car rides all the time. I know we went back home to visit friends & family  where I and he was born. So we were out in Midwest for awhile this summer.  I didnt get to see my moms, (we arent very close though), but I got to see all my friends from back home. I got lots of treats as usual, went to the lake a lot and didnt have to eat a kibble of that blah dog food. I love visiting our friends and family. I swear, I gain 10 pounds every time. But it was so much fun! I cant wait to go back.

We went to West Viriginia and brought home this demon looking gray cat. To me, it is just one large rodent. Like a big gray Mouse! The good thing is, he has been getting in to a lot of trouble, so it keeps me out of the shed. It kind of makes me smile to see him getting in to so much trouble. Its got me to thinking, I can do things like I used to, and he will get blamed. O, the fun is just starting.

We have been going to the beach just about everyday when we are in town. I made a lot of friends down there. Not every dog is friendly, nor do their owners let them sniff at me, but I have made quite a few friends down there. And my owner gets a good tan. My owner gets mad some times cus people will stop to talk and pet me, and not even talk to him. I dont think he likes me being called a cutie more then him. Just the other day, we were walking a trail, and two ladies walked by and said, "Hey cutie". He of course interjected and said "hey there". Like they meant him ... ugh!

My owner has had a couple of lady friends hang with us some times this summer. None of which I would shake my tail at. Some, made me put my tail between my legs and run. I am not sure if it was my doing or not, but none stuck around. I am not sure I am ready for him to date yet, so I can shake a tail feather that I dont have a new lady owner. 

We got in to a pretty bad accident to end the summer. The truck got hit from behind pretty bad. I was thrown all the way to the front. But luckily, I only had an MCL Sprain, and no paw breaks. So I was just hobbling for a few days. But my owner got really hurt and was not around for about a week. We finally just got the truck back last week. Even though the rental was nice, I like the truck and missed it.

So all in all, it was a lazy dog days of summer for me. I have gotten back in shape with all the exercise, made some new friends, got to see my friends from back home, and now live with this large rodent. Oh, by the way, his name is tux. I swear, next time he swats at me, I am taking a paw!

Glad to be back!

Woof!
