meeting Farley
|
Lots of things going on for us...maybe that's why I haven't done another blog for a little while. Last time we were at the beach, we met Val and Pam at Hansville for a walk on the beach. We were pretty cool walking along...three Portie girls and one guy. After the walk we went up to Buck Lake so Val and Pam could do water work with their dogs. Mom didn't know we were going to do that so she didn't bring my life jacket or any water clothes for her...that didn't stop us! Val lent me a water coat that is made from something like a wet suit but has a nice cover on it. I think it's called camouflage, hunting dogs wear them and they also insulate the wearer from cold water. Buck Lake is not nearly as cold as Puget Sound! Anyway, Farley and I went in the water and I swam quite a bit. Farley was very gentle and encouraged me to keep going. Lots different from going in the water with Casey...Casey tries to mount me and I go under. He's such a big oaf...doesn't he understand that nothing will come of it! I tried sitting on Pam's boat with Mom and it was much better this time. I hope we can do that again. That Harley can be a little bum...the back of our car was open and he jumped in my crate and ate the cookies I hadn't eaten. That's O.K., he's a nice guy.

getting the toys
|
At the beach we have this bucket with toys in it but Monty can't get any of them out and he usually wants the bones that are in it. We have four bones. So...guess who has to help him. You got it, me. Sometimes I have to dig way down and take every thing out just so he can get what he wants. Dad said that last time they got ready to come home Monty didn't have to be dragged to the car...he just walked out and put his front feet on the bumper so he could be boosted in. Dad thinks he wanted to come home and see me because we had left a day earlier. I think he's beginning to like me almost as much as I like him.
Mom made 2 more Portie pillows for Annie. We hope she likes these. Dad wants to know when she will be finished making pillows. I'm wondering too. Most of them look like me but she said she was going to make some brown ones and ones with white on them.
Flash...I weigh 30.9 #. Dad calls me a little porker...I AM NOT!
'til next time,
