Anyway, I'm tuned in, a year older, three to be exact! a pound heavier and ready to paw this keyboard!
Here's my third birthday party with my new toy, "Squirrel."
I guess that makes me 28 according to the doggie age chart below!

Except for sitting in a car (on Pat's lap thankfully) for over 3,000 miles, this summer was really exciting. Really hot, but exciting! I'm teaching Dave when to pick me up on those hot walks. He's got my signs down pretty good. He's so easy to train!Anyway, you know my buddy Winston went home, but I'm making the best of it. I just pester Pat and Dave more. Yea, Winston and I get along just great. Sometimes he lets me lead....
...and sometimes I let him lead.
We like to check out the same things...
And sometimes we just watch out for each other.
I'm still chasing squirrels and lizards. They're no match. I let them get up the tree before I get too close. That way I get to chase them over and over again. As for the lizards, they're quick but they don't stand a chance when I catch them trying to hide in the grass. I'm so good at hunting them down. I know their scent and I can hear them in the grass. It's funny though, just when I pounce, I feel a tug on my leash and I never seem to "finish the job!" I think Dave has something to do with that.OK time for a few photo updates....
Here's a classic! Me with long hair. Geesh, I'm rough and tumble. I need short hair to be able to hunt.
As you know we traveled to a place called Peabody. It's up north someplace and we stayed with Bill and Angela and their doggie, Maggie. Maggie is a little older than me but she is real nice to me. I get to take all of her toys out to play with. But, sometimes she takes mine and hides them.
I'd have to say I got to do something at Bill and Angela's that I never get to do. That's go outside without my harness or leash. They have a nice yard that has a fence all around it. I can go all around and Dave or Pat will just watch me. It's great! I also got to sit in the sun and just relax. Gee, I can't sit in the sun here in Florida. At first, Dave and Pat were a little concerned about letting me outside without any harness...
But, after I reassured them I'd be ok they let me out on my own (so to speak).
Oh boy, that sun feels great!
I could just....... zzzzzzz
Hold it, I just heard something.
Ah heck, this is just too comfortable to bother chasing anything.
I think Dave already told you I got to see my Mom, Haley and her owner, Becky. I'm really nervous when I see my Mom. I get really upset when people and doggies come up to me really fast. Sometimes I growl at people and doggies when they do that. I get scolded by Dave or Pat but I like my "space!"
We look like we could be twins. But, I'm thinner.

Angela had some really great blankets to snuggle into. This was my favorite one. I could curl up in it and shut out all the other things going on.
I've been having a lot of fun walking with my new friends who live just up the street. We walk in the evening so it's not too hot. Sometimes I like to fake that I'm hot so I can ride in the golf cart that Joe and Beverly has.
Sometimes I have to share it with Nash and Phoebe!
Speaking of curling up, I think my paws have had just about enough on the keyboard.
I guess I'll just head for my "perch" and say so long for now, but I'll keep an eye out for you!
