Saturday 3/22/08

Saturday in the park is always an adventure!!! First of all Mimi was just nuts when we first got there. We saw Fast Eddie and Cloe leaving and Mimi started barking and chasing after Eddie. Cloe and Mimi look a lot a like so maybe she just gets defensive right off the bat. I did not care because all I could see was the sunshine and the path leading into the woods. That first path is just full of chipmunks and other little furry things that run really fast and climb trees. Mimi and I ran up and down chasing everything that moved. Before long Eli caught up to us. I have not seen Eli in awhile. He and I are the same age and I really like playing with him. We ran in the fields while all our people walked together. The one person with Eli I did not know. His voice was a little different sounding than the others. There was some talk of good day mate and putting the shrimp on the barbie. I liked him even though he talked funny. Half way up "the hill" my old buddy Zoe showed up. I was so excited I jumped right up on my person and everyone sort of gasped and she grabbed onto a tree. I don't know why these people get so up tight. I was just telling her that both Eli and Zoe were here! So, I can hardly wait to tell you the next part. Remember a week or so ago I told you that Mel got a squirrel. I GOT ONE TODAY!!! Lucky for me there was no running to get it. It was already in squirrel-sickle form. I got to run in front of Zoe, Eli and Mimi with my prize. I was so excited! Plus, it was the best treat I have had in a long time. Much better than any marrow bone I ever had. All the people started in with that "Merlin, drop it" stuff. Yeah Right! I hung onto it and had my fill. My person put me on lead so if I dropped something I could not go back to get it. Bummer! It is still true that Eli, Zoe and Mimi know that it was ME, Merlin, I got the squirrel. On our way out of the park we saw Daisy which just makes my day. She is a good friend. As all the leashes were coming out some Black Lab started giving my boy Eli a hard time. I did not recognize the Lab. The people handled it pretty well and nobody got hurt. Anyway, it was such a good fun time today I laid all the way down in the car on the way home. Now, I am going to go in our yard and lay in the sun. Just remember, today is the day that Merlin got the squirrel. Peace, Love and Bones! Merlin
