Here is one of my favorite "look outs."
I have another look out in the other room. When there are squirrels outside I can run from one lookout to another to keep my eyes on those pesky things. Dave is finding out that I'm pretty good at catching lizards also. They try to dive down into the grass but they have no idea who they're running from. My Yorkie "rat chasing" heritage kicks in and I can hear and smell them when they burrow into the grass. I just attack the buggers. The only problem is that Dave is always pulling me back. Hey, I have to keep my skills up.
Boy, you may have heard I just went through another frightening night at the Vets. Pat and Dave left me again and the next day I woke up with these metal things sticking in my right rear leg and I could hardly move my leg. They took me home and I was really excited but for some reason I couldn't react the way I usually do. I felt strange. My leg was sore and really stiff. At least Dave and Pat cuddled with me most of the time that night and the next day. It felt good being home. Come to think of it they have been really nice to me since they brought me home.
After a few days I learned that they are making me stay on the floor. All I want to do is jump into their chair or lap. They have these stairs for me to climb now. Where is the fun in that? My favorite couch they used to sit with me in their laps now has a fence, pillows and a big funny looking hat to keep me from jumping up on it. But I gave in and do what they want me to do, that couch is so comfy!
There are so many new things and places to explore where I live now. Dave takes me for long walks and there are so many other doggies and their owners to meet.
Dave also likes to take me for what he calls a "buggy ride." I think it belongs to my best friends Darlene and Buzz. We ride all over and I love moving from Pat's side to Dave's side so I don't miss anything. I love starring down the squirrels as we drive past them. Although, I think Pat got tired of me going back and forth because she doesn't ride with Dave and I that much now. (I want to tell you secretly) I like being able to stand on the arm thingy on Pat's side. I can see much better and the wind is in my face.
The summer was very hot and very confusing for me. Dave and Pat made a mess in one house and then they put stuff in a different house. But, I like the different house better. I can see outside easier! Then, to top it off they have this person mess up my right rear leg! What a summer!
I'm waiting for Pat and Dave to take me someplace so I can get these metal things out of my leg. They are getting pretty itchy and they bother my tongue when I lick the sore that the Vet gave me.
Hmmmm, maybe it is time for some "pay back!"
