I'm So Excited!!

This is me sitting on the kid's booster seat.

I love to sit here so I can see out the window better.

 

I'm so excited! I have THREE reasons for being excited today. 

 

I just heard that it's tomorrow that you're coming home and I get to go to the ferry to pick you up! I love riding in the car. Sharon almost always takes me with her.

 

I also heard that I'm going have a bath tomorrow, so I will be really, really white again. I think that you think I don't care, but I do want you to be proud of me. Sharon says you will be! We'll be there to pick you up and Auntie Marilyn will be with you and Fred too (is he my uncle?). Then we will be going to our house! I love to bark at the people on the path and watch for squirrels. Is there a chance I can get on the couch to look out the window again?

 

This is me after my last bath

 Another reason I'm excited today is that the kids are here! I love it when they come. Sometimes they stay overnight and I sleep with them! Last night they didn't come, but they're here now and I love that.

 

Another reason I'm excited, is that Big Abby from next door is coming HERE to stay. She's coming TODAY! We already brought her food over, and later we're going over to get her bed and her dishes. I love big Abby. Here is a picture of me playing with her. 

 

I love playing with Big Abby

 

So can you see why I'm so excited??!!!

 

I have been wanting to tell you some more about my visit at Sharon's. Don't say anything, but Sharon doesn't offer me the laptop very much. It seems like she's always on it and I don't get a chance. But today I just needed to insist on telling my stories. 

 

I've got a good one about Cyrus. Do you remember him? He's Joan and Larry's B-I-G dog.  Cyrus is such a great dog. He thinks I am too! 

 

So one day they came to visit. We ended up going over to Big Abby's house through the gate in the fence. So much fun being with Big Abby AND Cyrus at the same time. Joan went to look at their big fish pond, and then we heard her yelling.

 

We all went and looked, and there was Cyrus swimming in the fish pond! You would not have believed it! Joan and Larry were excited I guess, because they kept yelling at him. He was really splashing in the water. Sharon pulled him out by his collar and then he shook all over everyone and got them wet. Ha ha. That was really funny because they were all trying to get away from him.

 

But I was thinking about it. At his house, Cyrus has just a little fish pond. Here is a picture of Cyrus beside his fish pond. 

 

This is Cyrus sitting in front of his fish pond

 

If YOU wanted to swim in a fish pond, would
you rather swim in that one, or the one just below?? 

 

I would rather go in this one, and so did Cyrus.

That was just so funny!

Let's see.Oh ya. Stefan came to watch movies with Sharon one time, and she stayed here overnight. I think she secretly does not like to drive after dark.

I love it when Stefan comes. She's one of my best friends.I always put her hand in my mouth and lick her and lick her. Sharon always keeps her bedroom door closed and if I knock on it, she tells me to go back to my bed. But Stefan lets me come in and sleep with her! Here's a picture.

Here I am in bed with Stefan

Sharon went somewhere and took a picture of a dog wearing a shirt that says "Cats Suck". What kind of dog would ever think that? It can't be a very nice dog. I LOVE cats!

Here is a picture of that dog

I love that I can just walk out onto the deck. But in the morning and at night Sharon makes me go on the grass. Yuk. I only go on the grass if I really want to go to Big Abby's. She actually PUTS THE LEASH on me and makes me go to the grass. She won't let me go in until I poop and pee. Then I do, so I can get off of that grass and back to the deck. I thought you should know. 

I bet you can tell that I've had a pretty good time.

So you see - you really don't need to go far away (as some people do) to have a good time. 

So excited!! Soon we'll be home together!

A Special Story About a Cat

Sharon just told me you're coming home in SIX days! I've been so busy with things like watching for cats and squirrels that I haven't told you everything that's been happening. 

Where will I start? I guess I'll start with a really BIG thing that happened. This one is I - mean -  BIG. I'll send you another post really soon so you'll know about some other things that have been happening too.

So last week Sharon had her big party. We come every year only this year I was the only one in our family that was at it. One of my best friends, Stefan, came too and she stayed overnight. Also, another friend, Mady came too and she stayed here also. 

Mady had her CAT in the car! It got a bit hot in the car so she put the cat in its crate, ON THE PATIO at the back! A cat was THAT close to me!!!!! I was so excited I barked and barked and barked. Sharon came running and told Mady I get really excited when I see a cat. So Mady turned the crate around. Sharon said we had to take the crate away. So they put the crate with the cat in it, in the garage. The door for the garage is right at my stakeout spot! I had Kina over the fence and the cat in the garage all at the same time!

I think I showed you a picture of 

me at the stakeout last time, but that 

was BEFORE there was a cat

in the garage

 

You may not believe this, but I could not think of ANYTHING else but that cat being in the garage. This has NEVER happened to me before. Cats have never been so close, just on the fence or up a tree. After awhile, I heard that Mady took the cat back to the car, but left the crate in the garage. I was not willing to believe that one, so I still waited. 

 

After everyone left the party - except for just a few people, Sharon let me go into the garage to check it out for myself. The crate was empty! I even got into it and  looked for myself. But where was the cat? It's still possible it's in the garage somewhere, so I sniffed and sniffed everywhere. 

 

 

I am sniffing around the crate in this picture

The next day, the crate disappeared! I heard Sharon talk on the phone with Mady, with my OWN EARS and Mady said she left the crate and she doesn't want it anymore. So WHERE did the crate go? 

Later that morning we went out front, and there was the crate! The cat's towel was still in it, and I l-o-v-e-d the smell of that towel! I sniffed and sniffed. Finally, Sharon made me go inside. Nooooooo - I want to smell the towel.

Next time I went outside, later that day, the crate was gone! Sharon gave it to someone. DARN. But guess what? The TOWEL was still there!! It was luscious, the way it smelled exactly like the cat.  But now the towel is gone too.

But every time Sharon goes into the garage, I slip in too. Just - in -case. I look everywhere, but I'm sure now the cat has gone.

Isn't that exciting? 

I suppose you're going to come home smelling like a cat. After all - you ARE living with one.
