EXPLORING

I like to go out each evening exploring. Mommy says I'm patrolling. I love spending time by myself. Mommy bought me a reflective collar and a flashing bone for my collar. I sometimes stay gone for hours. Mommy worries about me. Sometimes she gets in the car and drives around looking for me. I watch her from the woods. When I come home, I get a big drink and go to sleep!

HOME

Missy and I spent a week at Grandma and Grandad's. We stayed there while Mommy and Marley went to an agility trial. I had fun. Grandad took us lots of rides and to McDonald's. I missed Mommy though! :(

I was so happy to get back home and to see Mommy! I love my Mommy!

PATROL

I still go out on patrol. Now twice a nite. Sometimes I stay gone for 4 or 5 hours. Mommy doesn't know what I am doing. She says she's going to buy me a reflective collar so she can see me at night.

Mommy took me to Petco today. I spent lots of time exploring and sniffing the store. Do you know they have mice and birds there? I try to jump up on the cages but Mommy won't let me. She picks me up so I can see better. I love my special time with Mommy!!

MISSING MOMMY

Mommy is leaving for the weekend with Marley. Grandad and Grandma are coming over to get me and Missy. I don't want to be away from Mommy. She's my best friend!! She says its for 4 nites. That's tooooo long to be away from my Mommy!

EXPLORING

I get to go outside in the front yard everyday to explore. I love it! Now that Marley can't go outside unattended, I go by myself and I love it! I get to do what I want when I want. Sometimes I stay gone for hours and Mommy gets upset with me when I won't come in. I hear her calling me but I don't come. I come in when I'm ready!!

COOL WEATHER

I love cool weather. I get to go out in the woods for hours exploring. I come home and get dinner and then go back out again. Now that Marley is doing 'Ruff Love', I get to go by myself. I like it!

Now Marley isn't even allowed in the bedroom...I don't think she should have ever been allowed in the bedroom in the first palce!

WEEKENDS

We have been staying with Grandma and Grandad on the weekends. Mommy took Marley to an obedience/rally trial. Can you believe she qualified 3 out of 4 times?

Then Mommy took her to an AKC Agility trial and Marley got her first title, Jumpers! Just like me! I liked Jumpers when I competed. I'm so glad I don't have to compete anymore! Mommy says me and Missy will get to go next weekend when Marley competes in TN...but just to watch!
