Hanging Out with Jim

I like hanging out with Jim.  Today we went outside and worked in the vineyard.  Jim picked 4 grapes.  He ate two and gave Jean two.  He gave me zero.  There are not enough grapes for wine.  Then we played some tennis ball.  Then we rested.  Jean worked then she took me for a walk.

Helping Jim

Today I helped Jim in the garage.  He was fixing his weed eater.  I was playing with my outside tennis ball. 

Mail

TJ and Pat don't have a mailbox.  They don't have a house.  They live in a tent.  They pitch their tent all over the country.  They get mail and packages here.  Today a package came for them. 

My friend Tucker

I have a friend in the subdivision named Tucker.  Today Jim and Jean were taking me for a walk.  Tucker escaped from his yard and was running free.  He ran down the street to see me.  Jim put my leash on him and walked him home.  Jim knew that I would not run away.  I stayed with Jim and Jean but I did stop to visit my friend Sammie.  Tucker lives next door to Sammie.

Jen and John came for lunch today.  I have not seen them in a long, long time.  They did not bring Charlie because they were doing some shopping and it is too hot to leave a dog in the car.  I liked visiting with them.

The fence

Jim built a big fence around the vineyard and garden.  This fence keeps the deer out but the raccoon still come in.  They ate all the peach.  Every single one.  They also like tomatoes.  I stay away from the fence because it will sting you if you touch it.  I usually find a nice shady spot by a tree so I can watch Jim.

A nice walk

This morning we got up to take a hike before it got too hot.  We went to the bluff view trail.  We have been on the trail before but not a lot of times.  It was a nice shady walk but it was still hot.  The creek did not have water so Jean poured some water from her water bottle into her hands so I could have a drink.  She shared her water with me.  Jim found an old basketball in the gulley and carried it out and threw it away.  Then we went to the river so I could have a drink and cool off.  It was a nice hike.

My mail

We have been getting a lot of post cards this summer.  Jen and John sent us post cards all the way from Alaska.  TJ and Pat sent me a post card from Colorado.  Jean always reads the post cards to me.  This one said that TJ and Pat are going to come see me in a couple of months.  I am so excited.  I can't wait to see them.  I miss them so much but I have a good life here with Jim and Jean.
