Wow, it was so buggy today that I got a couple of mosquito bites in uncomfortable places. That is the bad news. The funny part is watching my person around these blood suckers. She tries to slp them away before they bite her. In this attempt she sort of looks like someone who is really mad themselves. She slaps her neck, face, legs and arms with some serious passion. I know I should not laugh but I can not help myself. She is a silly person. We were on our way in today and it was like someone had put up a one way sign and we were going the wrong way. We
saw Pearl and Lola along with about 10 dogs and 4 or 5 peeps headed the other way. I was glad to see Pearl because it has been awhile. I hope I get to hang out with her soon.
Anyway, after my person and Pearl's person had a brief chat we were on our way. This is were we go into the woods a little deeper and my person really starts slapping herself.
We saw Pierre, Benji and little Trixie in the top big fields. It was really fun to walk with them. Trixie has arguably become the smallest and sassiest of all the dogs at the park.
They went down to the river to get their extra drinks and we stayed on our usual way. I took the big dip in the deep water to check for Bosco. No luck. So, down to the beach and who do I see? Fergus, my man. We both got into the river but I could only go out a couple of feet. It is so high that even stepping into it from the beach has the water up to my knees. I laid down just far enough for the water not to go over my back. My gorgeous tail floats a top the river wild. Ahhh, it is a beautiful thing. So, Pierre and his crew caught up to us. As we were all leaving we met the Chocolate Lab puppy named Bruno. He has really gotten big. He gave me a little bob and weave dance to entice me to chase him. Truth be told I wasn't sure what was going on at first and I missed my cue. Oh well, there will be more opportunities.
My person and I kept walking so she could stop slapping bugs. Now, if peeps just let their nails get longer and than they could get a good scratch in instead of this slapping thing. Anyway, we walked out alone and saw Tango on the way. She chases me hard and fast and as much as I like it I hate her getting the best of me.
Hey, my person keeps whispering the word "Furminator" in my ear. I am not sure but she seems so happy that I think it is a new grooming tool. Ut Oh!

Merlin,
Yesterday, my mama (Abby)and I went to the park and she did a lot of that same weird slapping thing, but with a lot of words I know I'm not supposed to repeat here... this morning, my mom (Janet) and I went to the park and she did EXACTLY the same thing - except mom-Janet had "pants" things on and so she wasn't slapping at her legs, but her feet were covered with those nasty biting bugs.
My mama (A.) has sooo many bits all over her body she scratches herself on me, the furniture and is always asking other-mom to scratch her.
They're really silly, but I have to tell you, when I went to the little park near where we live this afternoon, those bugs were biting my sensitive parts and now I hate them too!
See you soon -- say hi to your peeps!
Ziggy.
