Saturday Afternoon

Hi Everybody,

One of the things they say about living in Pennsylvania is that if you don't like the weather, then wait five minutes and it will change. We found that out the last couple of days. On Thursday our temperatures were in the 40s. Two days later, on Saturday, it was in the 90s, and our mountain was on fire. Well, the fire on the mountain is finally out, after burning for two days and more than 2200 acres, a lot for around here. But it is still in the 90s and all these warm breezes make for a bad hair day among other things. Hot dry air and warm winds are not necessarily a good thing. All this gives a girl a lot to think about. Here I am on Saturday afternoon doing just that.

Thinking is good for your brain, even in the heat.

Making Progress

Hi Friends,

Just thought I'd let you know that on my last walk I chased both a squirrel AND a bunny! How cool is that?? (I just have no hope of ever catching anything as long as I have to drag my mom around with me. I wish she'd let go of that leash -- just once.)

I think I'll take a nap.

Unfinished Business

Hi Everybody,

It looks like spring may be here to stay for a while, I hope, but I still have the same problems that I did before.

For example, it's almost a week after Easter and can you believe that this guy is still here? Now, I was good and I listened to Grandpa last week and I let him in my house, but now he WON'T leave! I just don't know what to do about this. Surely by now all the chocolate and Easter eggs have been delivered. There is just no reason at all for him to still be here.

And to make matters worse, look who else showed up in my back yard. I don't know what he's looking for, but if it's trouble, then he found it! I'll make sure of that!



Hehehe...

For more than 30 years the voice of Harry Kalas filled this family's home or back yard every night from April to October. We will miss him.

Instructions

Hi Everybody,

Grandpa gave me strict instructions today.

He said I have to be on the lookout for this guy tonight.

I leaned in to get a better look.

I know him. We have lots of them around here. I bark at them all the time.

Grandpa says that I can't bark at him tonight. Shucks. He says that I even have to let him come in the house! YIKES!!!

Grandpa says that the bunny will bring lots of candy if I let him in the house tonight. Sounds good.

Works for me. I can live with that.

Okay, Grandpa. Got it! He's in.

Thanks for the heads-up. Love ya!!

Easter Bonnet 2009

Hi Friends,

Here is a sneak peek at my new Easter bonnet for this year. It kind of glows, don't you think? (Or have I been drinking too much now that I have to stay hydrated?)

Thanks Everybody! I'm Better

Dear Friends,

I want to thank each of you for all the get well wishes you sent me and for all your concern for me yesterday when I was sick. Your comments, emails, and calls were a comfort to my mom and grandpaw.

When I woke up last night several after getting home from the emergency hospital I was hungry so my mom cooked me some chicken breast and rice. I devoured it, along with a nice long drink, and then had a good night's sleep. Today I went for a half-mile walk, and the spring was back in my step. That was so much fun. The mailman gave me a treat, and I buried it in my yard, under the big tree. Today I even played a little bit and did my usual barking/lung exercises. So, I think that I'm almost back to 100%.

My only problem is that the injection that the vet gave me yesterday to prevent any more vomiting may have worked on the opposite end. I hope that we won't be needing another contest.

Thanks again, friends! I love you all!

Koobuss Kisses for Everybody!

I'm Sick

Hi Everybody,

I don't have much to say except that I've been sick since last night and today my family had to take me to the emergency animal hospital. We were there most of the day. Last night I was crying and then I vomited three times. This morning I vomited three more times. My regular vet was not available but they suggested that we go to the emergency hospital, so we did. There they examined me and everything was okay, except for a low grade fever. (Wish I could say the same about my family. They were really worried.) Anyway, it seems that last night's supper (charcoaled ground beef) made me sick. And I thought my mom was a better cook than that!
