Labor Day

Today is Labor Day.  This means we work hard.  I had a big day.

First Jim and Jean got up before the sun.  It was really dark outside.  This means I got to have my breakfast early.  I like early breakfast.

Next Jim and Jean went for a race.  They ran really fast because they were not gone long.  They came home and took showers.  Then we all got in the car.  I didn't know where were going but it smelled like the country.

We went to Old Farm Vineyards to pick grapes.  I have been there before.  There were lots of dogs and people. 

Jim's friends Steve and Darlene own this vineyard.  It is huge.  It is so much bigger than our little vineyard.  It was a hot day  I found shade in the vineyard.  My friend Sparky was there.  His human, Dan gave me water.

They rang a bell and everyone went to the house for lunch.  Jim and Jean left me outside.  There was a bucket of water for the dogs.  But then someone let me in the house.  Do you know what was in the house?  There were ham sandwiches!  There was also air conditioning.  I got to stay in the house.  Jim and Jean shared their sandwiches with me and I got to cool off.  After lunch we went back out to the vineyard to cut more grapes.  I worked so hard. 

 

At the edge of the vineyard there was a raccoon that was in a trap.  It was a live animal trap so it was not hurt but it was mad.  I did not get close to the raccoon.

 

After all the grapes were picked we went home and Jim picked the grapes in his vineyard.  He only had a few grapes so it did not take him long.

I am tired after my busy Labor Day.
