Time to Write My Blog


You should now be on your way home to me, if Uncle Steve has his time zones right. Your last message said you were leaving tomorrow night. Since it is night here, you should be on your way.
I'll just write a quick note to let you know everything is fine here. Aunt Kathy had dinner with some friends and Uncle Steve gets home late on Thursdays, so it was a another quite day here. Uncle Steve and I are about to watch a movie, so I will get some quality lap time.
Don't I look cute at the computer. Uncle Steve has been a very patient teacher. However, I bet there are still some people who don't believe that I am writing this blog!!!
See you soon. Love,
The Speckster

Do I Have to Do Those Tricks Again?

Gee Mom, thanks for telling Uncle Steve that I can do the tricks better on carpet! Now he has me doing the same tricks over again tonight. I did do them much better. However, Uncle Steve got home late from a Mason's meeting, so I am up here at 10:15 p.m. doing tricks for a lousy little treat. OK, it is a really tasty treat, but it is still 10:15 at night. I should be in bed getting my beauty rest. The video is at the bottom of the blog.

Today was another fairly quite day. I really do miss having Aunt Kathy at home to entertain me. Uncle Steve came home and took me for a short walk over to the Ice Arena and back. The weather was cold and damp. It was sort of spitting rain for the whole walk, but we did stay dry. Aunt Kathy really saved me today, though. I was starting to run out of dog food, and Aunt Kathy went back to our house and got me a new supply. I could just see myself waisting away on milk bones and doggy treats until you got back. Since Aunt Kathy and Uncle Steve get home at different times, I have been trying to convince both of them that I need dinner, but they are too wise to my tricks. Darn!

Your trip continues to sound like something we all will remember for a lifetime. I can hardly wait to smell that stuff that Uncle Steve was telling me about. Have fun the rest of your trip.\

Love,

The Speckster

Did I Mention That I Like Treats?


See Speck Beg. See Speck Not Roll Over. See Speck Play Dead. (Kind of)

Uncle Steve thought that you would like to see a video of me begging for food. I tried to convince him just to give me the food without the begging, but he insisted that you would rather see me work for my treats. Oh, what the heck. A treat is a treat, and I really do look cute.


Another quite day in Minnesota after all that yucky snow yesterday. It got up to the mid 40's today, so a lot of it melted. There probably will not be much left by the time you get back. Aunt Kathy just got back from aerobics, and Uncle Steve is about to go do his work out at that fancy club where they provide the towels. I will probably do some more hippo and hedge hog hunting, followed by some quality lap time. As you can see in the photo below, I am still as cute as when you left.

Love,
