The big bathtub

Today Jim and Jean went for a race.  It was a long race because they were gone a long time.  When they got back they were cold so they took a bath.  Since they had the bath water warm and ready they decided to give me a bath too.  It was the first time I had a bath in the big bathtub in their room.  I have had a bath in the hall bath or a shower in their shower but I never had a bath in the big bathtub.  I don't really like baths that much but now I am clean and fluffy.

The turkeys

Today the flock of turkeys was outside in the front yard.  I went outside with Jim to get firewood and I chased them away.  Jean was mad at me.  Apparently chasing turkeys is frowned upon. 

I helped Jim bring more firewood to the house.  It has been cold so we have been burning a lot of wood.

I love playing with my tennis ball.  I love when people throw it for me.  I will gently place it in your lap so you can throw it.  Sometimes if you don't throw it I pick it up and drop it in your lap again.  Jim always says "don't grab the wrong ball".

Camouflage

With my beautiful black, white and gray coat I blend in with the woods especially when there is a little snow   Sometimes when I am up on the hillside it is hard for Jim and Jean to see me.  They whistle and yell.  I know exactly where I am and where they are.  They do not blend in at all.

We had a little bit of snow last night.  I went outside with Jim to shovel.  I like the snow.  Then I hung out in the basement while Jim worked on pictures.

Another Day Another Walk

Today Jim and Jean took me for a walk in the neighborhood.  My friend Sammie was inside her house.  She was looking out the window and barking for me.  She did not get to come outside to see me.

Another Cold Day

It was another cold day.  Jim and Jean took me for a run at lunch.  We ran through the neighborhood and stopped to see my friend Sammie.  My alligator toy was on the shelf.  Jean got it down from the shelf and gave it to me.  I do love my toys.  I was happy to see my alligator.

Hanging Around the House

Today was a day for hanging around the house with Jean.  Jim went to take pictures.  It was cold outside so I just hung around the house with Jean.  We saw our flock of turkeys in the yard.  Jean likes to watch out the window for birds and she is happy when the turkeys come by.  I like to eat turkey on Thanksgiving but the turkey we eat doesn't resemble the turkeys in our yard.  I'm not sure it's the same thing.

Going Visiting

Today we went to Charlie's house for dinner.  I love going to Charlie's house because we are allowed to play tennis ball in the living room.  I am not allowed to play tennis ball in Jim and Jean's living room.
