Deer

This morning we took a nice walk on the trail before it got hot.  There was a deer near the trail.  It was snorting at us.  Deer snort when they don't like you.  I was too busy sniffing around to pay attention to the deer.  I don't care about deer when we are hiking.  But I do not like deer in the vineyard.  This is because Jim does not like deer in the vineyard.  Deer eat Jim's grapevines.  If there is a deer in the vineyard I will scare it off.  TJ and Pat taught me not to mess with the wildlife.  I do not mess with the wildlife unless it is deer in the vineyard.  I occasionally chase a frog also.  I like to watch them hop into the pond.

Working Hard

Jim and I worked very hard today.  I don't remember what we were working hard at but we worked so hard we needed a nap.

Sealing the Driveway and Hotdogs

I helped Jim outside all day.  He was sealing the driveway.  To seal the driveway he paints black stuff on it.  He ties me in the garage because I walk through the black stuff and get it all over my paws.

Then the black stuff dried and he let me free.  Then he mowed the grass in the vineyard.  I supervised.

Next we had dinner.  After dinner Jim and Jean went for their race.  They always have hot dogs and beer after the race.  The exciting part is that there were left over hot dogs and Jim brought me two hot dogs.  I did all my best trick because I love hot dogs.

 I rolled over.

 I played dead.

 I shook hands.  I love hot dogs.  These were real meat hot dogs.  Yummy.  Jim loves me.

Watching for Jean

Sometimes Jean gets up early and takes a run before she has breakfast.  She leaves Jim and me home.  I watch for her out the kitchen window.  I like to know where all my humans are.

My Monday

My Monday was boring.  Jim had a headache so we staying inside and rested.  Jean took me for a walk after dinner and I got to see my friends.

A nice walk

This morning Jean wanted to take a run.  Jim did not feel like running.  We all went to the trail.  Jean took off on her run.  Jim took me for a nice long walk.  He walked me to the river to get a drink.  Then we all met at the car.  When we got home they went out to check on the garden and vineyard.

Home Alone

Saturday Jim and Jean are supposed to play with me all day.  Here is my Saturday:

We got up early and had breakfast.  Jim put the bikes on the bike rack.  Then their friends Sarah and Bill rode their bikes down from the subdivision.  I like Sarah and Bill.  They let me visit their house.  Bill threw the ball for me.  Then they put me in the house and they drove off with their bikes on the back of the car.  I stayed home and took a long nap.

Then they got home and played with me a little.  Then they gave me dinner and left again to go out to eat.  I was home alone until they came home after dark.  Jim gave me a cookie and it was bed time.
