Nice Day to Look Out the Window


Which one of those damned
dogs is barking?

Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve's new windows make it really hard to tell which one of my mortal enemies is barking. I can definitely hear them, but they are inside and I am inside. I just can't tell who is barking. I know it cannot be my hearing, because I am not getting older or hard of hearing. (And neither is Uncle Steve. UNCLE STEVE - DID YOU HEAR ME????)

We had a nice quiet afternoon. Uncle Steve came in the back door as Aunt Kathy was going out the front, so I wasn't alone much after school. Uncle Steve had the really great idea of sitting in our Lazy Boy (see how I have learned to share). He read a book, and I kept look out for the basset hounds and golden retrievers. They wisely stayed inside, so I could take a nap in Uncle Steve's lap. Then I went down stairs to help him make dinner. Unfortunately, I did not have to clean up any spills.

Aunt Kathy left me a note. She wants to know if both of our cars are parked out front. She thought she had seen both cars and now she only sees one. Maybe her eye sight or memory is going bad. She is getting up there in years.

I am excited that you are coming home tomorrow. It is nice here, but there is no place like home.

Love,

I Like This Chair!!!


I think Uncle Steve is getting a little old. He still thinks this is his chair. I will let him sit in it as long as he lets me sit in his lap then, but that still makes it my chair. Also, every time we go outside, I have to stand right by the kitchen counter and point to where the treats are. It is as if he forgets that he is supposed to reward me for doing my duty. Don't worry though, I remind him every time!!!

It was a very quite day today. Aunt Kathy had a meeting after school, so she came home for just a little bit to let me outside, and then she was off again. Uncle Steve worked until 6:00 and so he didn't get home much before Aunt Kathy finished her meeting. So I am rushing to get done with my blog so I can make Uncle Steve play some games. He needs to know that it is either play games now, or at 3:00 a.m. in the morning. His choice, but I think he knows what is best for him. He is not that old, yet!

Glad to hear the cake made it fine, and that you are having fun. See you soon!

Love,

Uncle Steve Takes Mercy on Me!!!


Uncle Steve took me for a walk tonight, and we only went out for an hour, instead of his usual hour and a half. I am dictating this to Uncle Steve while I rest on the couch. It was a beautiful night and lots of people told me how cute I am (what's new). When I got home you can see that I helped clean up the dishes. They didn't even have to ask me to help.

It was a pretty quiet day here. Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve both got home at the same time. Aunt Kathy took me out the front and Uncle Steve came in the back. I couldn't get any peace outside. The golden retrievers had the audacity to bark at me when I was in the front yard. Aunt Kathy took me around to the other side of the house and the basset hounds started barking at me on the other side. Needless to say, I let them know who the boss is.

Did the cake make it OK? Also, Uncle Steve said he heard that the stage hands on Broadway may be going on strike. Hope everything is going ok.

Love,
