Ahhh....Camping!!

Mom and Dad took Mollie and I camping this weekend; what a blast!! It was really windy but we had fun anyway. I fell off the dock at the lake and got to swim for a few minutes- the water was cold and was a welcome break from all the hot Kansas wind. After that, we just sort of chilled out by the camper. Mom fixed corn on the cob with supper and I got to eat off Dad's plate. Man, I really love corn on the cob!!!! Here's a video of me having some and a picture. It's one of Mollie doing that thing with her ears.

Secrets.........

Mollie is learning. Sometimes the lessons I teach her are better kept away from the prying ears of Mom and Dad. At times like that, the best thing to do is just whisper. Here's a shot of me passing on some pretty sensitive info. Mollie is listening pretty intently, huh?

Camping Trip

I had a really nice time over Memorial Day Weekend. Mom & Dad took Mollie and I to the lake and we camped all weekend long! I love being at the lake because there are alot of people and dogs to say hello to. I went for lots of walks, ate lots of stuff that I'm not allowed to eat at home, and at bed time, I could sprawl out in front of an open window and see and smell all of the night time sights and smells. LOVED IT!! Here's a picture Dad took of me while I was laying down for an afternoon nap on Saturday.

Longing for Sunshine

We've had a bit of rain the last couple of days and I'm ready for the warm sunshine to come back. There's something special about standing in the grass in the front yard without having to suck it in to keep my belly from getting wet. I'd love to be able to lie down in the grass and watch mom plant flowers and work in the yard. Oh well, next week is supposed to be nice.

Nap Time!!

It's different when Dad's gone. Mom leaves for work and there's really not much to do. Mollie and I normally hang out in Mom's recliner but, when it's available (and by available, I mean when Mollie hasn't peed on it) we like to lounge in front of the TV on our bed. It's super comfortable (as long as you-know-who doesn't wet the bed) and makes for some pretty relaxed mornings. I especially like to lay on it when I get back from a WW (that's Weiner-Walk for those of you who are uninformed). I guess we could call it a WWW (the extra "W" is for Worms) after it rains because Mollie and I like to eat the dried worms that met their demise on the concrete sidewalk in Military Park. They're a great source of protein and are pretty tasty, too. At any rate, I'm gonna get off the recliner now and check the comfort level of our bed. Maybe Mollie will come with me; I could use a good pillow. Later- Maggs.

There goes Monday

It's almost 5:00 Monday evening. It seems like the last week has pretty much flown by. The Squirrels are more active so all I can think about is going outside to watch Cecilia and Jack. I'd really love to floss my teeth with one of 'em. If it wasn't for that confounded tie-out.
Dad's going back to work tomorrow. He told me that he's leaving in the morning, but I already knew. Since he's on days this week, maybe Mom will take Mollie and me to Emporia to see him on Saturday; I hope so. Mom, Dad, Mollie and me went and looked at a house for sale out in the country. Neat yard, plenty of room (outside) but pretty cramped inside. Oh well, we'll keep looking. Buckshot has been having some health problems so we're sticking pretty close to home to keep an eye on him. Mollie and I have even been spending time with him in the backyard. Mollie is a little scared of him, but I got my bluff in pretty early- he steers clear of me.

Here's a picture of Mollie and me in New Mexico, Thanksgiving '08.

BRRRR!!!

I can't believe it's so cold.  Daddy's home and he told Mollie and me that he would take us for a walk at the lake when it got warmer.  It figures, it's nice the whole time he's gone and then, when he gets home, it turns cold.  Maybe it'll warm up this afternoon.  'Til then, I think I'll find some rawhide........
