The 4th of July

Last night was kind of... well, odd. I think there was a big war or something, because I heard all of these bombs exploding. And something really strange happened when my humans took me outside. My dad walked forward and bent down to the ground. I think he was trying to disarm a bomb before it exploded. All of the sudden he started running towards us. And then there was some kind of explosion. There were sparks flying everywhere! Then there was a really loud whistling sound. My humans, surprisingly, didn't seem nearly as worried as I was. I think they were pretending to be calm so I wouldn't get scared. They took me inside after that. I was afraid they were going to get blown up out there, but thankfully they came back safe and sound.

The really wierd part is that everything seems back to normal today. I think that was the shortest war in all of history! Either that... or it's not over yet. I'm going to have to watch out for explosions for the next few days.

Groomed Again :(

Well, I got groomed ... AGAIN. *Groan* This time the groomer cut all of my fur short.

I don't see why my humans always bring me to that terrible place. Every few months they seem to be convinced my fur needs shaving. But why...?

Well, anyways, hopefully I'll be able to post some new pictures soon.

I got babysat!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy being babysat.

My humans had been talking about it for a while, and I was wondering what in the world babysitting was. I was beginning to think it had no meaning at all.

One morning my humans went bye-bye. It wasn't like my humans to leave at such an early time. I was very confused.

I waited expectantly for hours, but my humans didn't come back. Finally I heard someone at the door. So I got up, stretched myself and waited for my humans to come inside. The door opened and there was... huh? The girl at the door was a friend of my humans. I was confused, but still happy to see her. She fed me, played with me, let me outside and even took me on a walk! Then she left.

For a few days the girl came several times a day. I began to get used to babysitting.

Then, one day, I heard someone at the door. Of course, I expected it was the girl. But when the door opened, I saw my humans! At last, they were back!

Babysitting is kind of weird if you ask me, but it was pretty fun for a few days.

Oink

My humans tell me that pigs like to lay in the mud. I think I am a lot like I pig because I like to lay in the mud, too!

It's been pretty warm out lately, and I've been getting really hot when we go on walks. So when I see some mud, I just lay down to get cooled off. My humans don't seem to like it, but I don't understand why. I'm just cooling off!

And after I'm out of the mud, my humans let me go swimming or spray me with the hose, so I get cooled off again! Talk about killing two birds with one stone tooth!

Swimming

Today I swam for the first time!

I was going on a walk with my humans and we passed the neighborhood pond. I was hot, so I just stepped in. The cool water felt really good. I walked in the water for a while, and then I finally went into the deep part and started swimming. My humans wouldn't let me inside for a while because I was wet, but I really enjoyed the swimming part.

Running!

I just got to run in a big field OFF LEASH!! For once in my life, I'm actually tired!

It was so fun-- I ran as fast as I could. My humans were so surprised because they had never seen me run that fast before!

I sure hope I get to do that again very soon!

Guess What I Found!!

You'll never guess what I dug up yesterday! The hole of some little animal! That animal, whatever it was, should be very glad it was not home when I dug up its house, because I would've devoured the little thing in one bite.

Anyways, I was on a walk with my humans when I got a whiff of this really interesting scent (the little animal, no doubt). I was finally able to pinpoint the exact location of the smell. I soon realized the smell was underground. That was no problem-- I just started digging and there it was-- the burrow.

I'm very proud of myself, even if I didn't get the animal that lived in the hole.
