We're Finally Back

Hello all, Mom is so sorry that we have been away for such a long time. (She was pretty busy with all of her various projects.) We want to catch up with everyone. My Dog Space has added so many cool new things! Mom had our computer hard drive updated and now everything is working great. We've had a fun summer here at the lake. We played with the Grandsons Andrew and Alex a lot. We went fishing and swimming. We chased the ground squirrels and birds in the woods behind our house.  Gracie has a pet frog that lives in our pond. No matter how much she barks at it, he still won't hop away. He just jumps into the water and hides under the lilly pads. That's one of her and Alex's favorite games. We had several cookouts and Mom let us taste their yummy human food. Alex learned to ride his bike without training wheels , Pearl loves to run along side him, guarding him and herding him back if he gets too far away from our house. Andrew, Josh and Joe  bought new air soft bb guns and practice shooting at paper targets into the ravine. We don't like those noisy things at all. The boys are back in school now so things have settled down somewhat. We are resting up while Mom and Dad are at work. We take our evening walks at a leisurely pace and just enjoy it when the weather permits. Lately it has been raining non-stop. All of that crazy hurricane stuff blowing around. We sure feel bad for all of the people who have had to leave their homes. We hope that their animal friends are all safe and sound too. Mom is nearly finished with her first draft of her book, she's going to be editing it soon. Pearl is full of herself because she got to be a character in it. Mom has a new hobby, she is working on a re-born baby doll. It looks soooo real, it's kind of spooky. Since we are all grown and Dad won't let her get another puppy, she found another way to get her "baby" fix.  She's going to take photos of us with her new "daughter" when she's done. ( That is of course if Pearl will leave the doll alone long enough, she keeps trying to get it and play with it, aka chew it to pieces. LOL) I bet Mom's going to make us all matching Halloween costumes again, baby doll included. Well we have to go for now, supper is ready. TTYL, Kes, Gracie and Pearl.
