A pretty good day

Today Jim was gone most of the day.  Jean took me outside at lunch and threw the ball until I got tired.  Then before dinner she threw the ball again.  After dinner we took a nice long walk on the trail.  We went to one of the new trails and they made it longer.  It was a nice day.

Another rainy day

If April shower bring May flowers then we are going to have a very flowery May.  This morning there was thunder, then it rained and we even had a few snowflakes this evening.  I spent the day inside with Jean while Jim was at work.

My Sunday

This morning there was thunder.  I went back to Jim and Jean's room.  It was time for them to get up anyway.  Jean went for a run but did not bring me because she thought the trail would be too messy.  You can see by this picture that my diet is going well and I am looking thin and trim.

Some work, a walk and a swim

This morning I helped Jim outside.  We have worked outside every day this week.  Then Jim and Jean took me for a nice long hike at Castlewood State Park.  There were a lot of people a dogs there and everyone thought I was beautiful.  I was very tired and thirsty.  Jim let me get a drink in the creek.  Then he threw a stick and I took a swim.

Happy Birthday to TJ

Today is TJ's birthday.  I miss TJ and wish I was with her.  When I was one I was with TJ and Pat in Illinois to celebrate TJ's birthday.  When I was two we were also in Illinois.  When I was three we celebrated TJ's birthday in Idaho.  Last year when I was 4 I was living with Jim and Jean but they took me camping and TJ and Pat met us at the campground.  This year I am 5 and I don't get to celebrate with TJ.

Another Wonderful Day

Today I spent all day working outside with Jim.   Jim is getting ready to put a deer proof fence around the vineyard.  Last year's deer proof fence did not work at all.  I chased the tennis ball and when I got thirst I went had had a big cool drink from the pond.

All day outside

Today I was outside all day with Jim.  He was planting some grass seed and working on the dirt.  I played lots of tennis ball.  I was so tired I took a nap on the driveway while Jim was working.  Jim and Jean went for a run before dinner but I was too tired to go.  I worked hard today.
