Happy Easter

Today is Easter.  I helped Jim outside for a while.  Then Jim and Jean took me to the trails for a 5 mile run.  Jim and Jean left me home alone and went to an Easter celebration.  I got to take a nap.  I did get a new red squeaky toy that I really like.

A tiring day

Today was a nice warm day.  Jim and I worked outside all day.  He threw a stick and a tennis ball.  One of the neighbors stopped by to talk and he threw the tennis ball for me.  I was so tired after all that work.  After dinner Jean saved me a couple bites of meat.  I was almost too tired to get up to eat it.  She could have put the plate right by me so I didn't have to get up.  Then Jim and Jean went shopping and left me to guard the house.  Usually when they leave I watch them out my window.  I was just too tired to watch out the window.  I took a nap.

Ticks

Jim and I have been working outside a lot.  Yesterday Jim found a couple ticks on me.  Jim and Jean put stuff on my back every month to keeps the ticks away.  Jim also bought me a tick collar for extra protection.  We don't like ticks.

Playing fetch and muddy feet

I just love to chase a tennis ball, stick or frisbee.  Today Jean was throwing the tennis ball.  It was so much fun but I got muddy feet.  I have to let Jean wash my feet before I come back in the house.  That's okay with me. 

Busy Day

Today Jim and Jean took me for a run at lunchtime.  Then I helped Jim outside all afternoon.  He threw the stick for me over and over.  I am really tired.  I like to nap in the hallway so I can be near all the doors where the people are.

Happy Birthday to me

Today is a very, very special day.  It's my birthday.  I am 4 years old today.  Hooray for me.  TJ and Pat called me as sang to me over the phone.  Jim and Jean took me for a walk and I got special treats.

Cross Country Skiing with Jim and Jean

Today Jim got out the cross country skis.  I was so excited I ran circles around the yard as fast as I could.  I just love cross country skiing.  I used to go with TJ and Pat when we lived in Idaho.  We went to Castlewood and had a fun time in the snow!
