Getting Ready

Today I spent time outside with Jim.  He popped up the camper to clean it out.  He is getting ready to sell it.  I helped by staying outside and enjoying the day.

Then Jim trimmed up my hair.  I am getting ready for hot weather.  I feel so good and beautiful.

Next I helped Jim and Jean put clean sheet on the guest room bed.  This means company is coming.  I wonder who it is.

I made sure to put a tennis ball on the bed so the guests would play with me.

Thunder

Today I helped Jim wash the camper.  It has to be nice and  clean so he can sell it.  Then we went for a walk before lunch.  We cut the walk short because the sky was getting dark.  It rained and there was very loud thunder.  I stayed very close to Jean in her office while it stormed.

So Tired

I had a busy day.  Jim and I got in the Envoy and drove to the farm this morning.  We visited with Grandma and Grandpa.  We helped Grandpa with chores on the farm.  Then we hooked up the camper and brought it home.  We are going to sell the camper because Jim and Jean are buying a new one that is easier to set up.  When we got home Jim and Jean took me to the trail for a run.  I was tired and was not interested in running.  I wanted to walk and sniff.  Jim turned around with me and we walked to the river where I got to go wading.  Jean finished her run.  Then we came home for dinner.  I am so tired after my busy day.

My spot of sunshine

I love to lay in my spot of sunshine.  When the sun moves my spot of sun shine gets smaller and I have to move close to the window.

Today we took a walk in the subdivision.

Easter

Today is Easter.  Jim and Jean went to visit Jim and Linda.  They sent home a special gift for me - the ham bone - yum!

Happy Birthday to Me

Today I am seven years old.  I am a mature dog.  Jim and Jean got up and gave me breakfast.  They went to the botanical garden.  I am not allowed to go to the botanical garden.  They came home and gave me lunch.  We went outside and checked on the vineyard.  My good friend Maddie was out for her walk.  When I first met Maddie she was so small she ran under my body.  She grew very fast and very big.  Maddie is shy but she loves me.  She is a Great Dane.

Next we went for a 6 mile hike.  We hiked on the new trail and on the other new trail.  They need to give these trails some new names.

After hiking we were hungry.  We went to Lucky's.  Jim bought pizza and beer.  We sat outside because dogs are allowed on patio seating.  I got a cup of water and some pizza crust.  It was very tasty.  When we got home Jim finished off a carton of ice cream and I got to lick the carton.  It was a good birthday.

Watching Jim

I always keep my eye on Jim.  When we are working I watch him to make sure he is doing the work right and see if he needs my help.  When he is eating I watch him carefully because he likes to share his food with me.
