THUNDER

Wow! Between last night and today there has been a lot of flashing light and really load noises outside. Good thing both of my peeps were home yesterday. Jessie gets just as afraid as I do so we both get a person to hide with. When our girl is home she even gets us blankets to hide under and ice cubes to chew on. I finally figured out why all my peeps keep going to our girl's school lately. She is not going to be going back to the school that Chevy works at after today. I do not know if the new place has a dog. I could be a school dog. I want that job but if it means I can not go to the dog park forget it. I am never going to give that up.

So, we walked in the park today with Rascal and his person. Rascal is a really old boy but you would never, ever know it. I wish Jessie could still come to the park. People still ask about her all the time. It looked like we still might get a storm while we were walking but I tried to follow everyone else lead and not panic. I jumped right in the river which is much higher after all the rain we have had. A really pretty Australian Cattle Dog named Jack showed up. He ran and ran and I chased him a ton. His person wanted to keep moving but I really wished he stayed longer. Up the big hill we went and in the top field we saw Deli. It was so weird for Deli to be alone. He is always with Clementine, Flannel and Luna. It must be summer time when everyone's schedule changes. I hope that does not mean bad things for me. We saw my buddy Daisy toward the end of the top field. It seems like we are on totally different schedules now. We saw Willie, Nanook and Bandit toward the parking lot. Tango and her person gave us a wave as we all left for the day. It was a plain and simple enjoyable walk. Sometimes it is nice to just be even without a peak or a valley~ Merlin
