Dog Day

So, they say every dog has his day. Well, I guess that is true because every day is my day and I am a dog. We left really late today because some men came to our house and are making a lot of noise in the basement. My person seems happy about them being here. Me and Mimi are on high alert. Speaking of Mimi she is doing her exercises and seems to be recovering OK. She is still a month away from being back at the park. Thank you to all you dogs and peeps who ask about her everyday! You all rock.

So, off we went and we saw my 'ole friend Amber. Seeing Amber is like seeing your home. She is solid as a rock in spirit and I always feel reassured. I think pups see my sister Jessie like that too. Anyway, the big fields on the top of the hill are now planted with corn. They are still small stalks and I can easily jump them as you can see in the picture. I wish Mimi was there because I can show off in front of her. Even with a good knee she can not jump like me because of her short legs.

Anyway, I met a beauty of a Husky named Indigo up there. You know what is funny about that? We have a fish named Indigo. Huh, I wonder if there could be some inter species lo e going on. The other picture is the view going down "the hill". It really is steep but I love to run down it and the space on either side provides many a little rascals to chase. I ran into Josie the famous mouse catcher on the hill. I hung out with her for awhile. I really like her and she is pedigree challenged just like Jessie. The peeps guess Lab and Pitt. I say who cares. Anyway I ran down the first set of hills near the deep water. This is where Bosco swims but I have not seen him all week. He dropped me a note saying this week was probably not good but I look anyway. There was a Jack Russel named Charlie that chased me to the top of the hill. He stayed up there and yelled at me all the while I took a dip. I only stay there a minute because deep water and I are acquainted but not quite friends. Off to the beach we went. We saw Ridge and a cool dog named King. There was running and splashing and I did my usual dip in the river. The water is so high that I can hardly go out more than a couple of feet before it just gets too deep to lay in. I have not heard any of the big bad thunder today. My person who walks me slept downstairs with me last night because I hate those loud bangs. She loves me! How do we get that loud stuff to stop?

We saw Liken at the beach and walked out with her. I was glad to see her because it has been a long time. I have never seen a dog who can chase a ball as fast, far or as often as her. She is truly impressive.

OK I must go see what these peeps are doing in the basement and take a nap. A dogs work is never done.
