| being thoughtful |
When humans get older, I understand that they become more thoughtful about life. I was thinking about that yesterday when I was helping Mom in the backyard. Our yard has a deck which is great for launching myself off of. There's gravel covering the dirt because grass doesn't grow. There are a lot of great big evergreens to block the sun. Monty told me there used to be great dirt spots that would become puddles when it rained...good for digging and getting his blond coat dirty. There are some flower beds and 2 kennels. Shortly after I came these high green wire fences went up around the flower beds...Monty was a little disgusted because he only needed little fences about a foot high. He's a wuss, you know. The granddaughters use the kennels to play with us. I think I told you about this a while back.
OK, being thoughtful about helping Mom in the back yard...This gravel is great to do my "go dog go" act of running REALLY fast, making sharp turns, leaping off the deck and scattering gravel everywhere. I've also got 3 spots where I like to dig. Mom doesn't like that. So, the sun came out and Mom decided to groom us outside and rake the gravel so it was even and didn't have the ditches that happen when I go tearing around. She started raking and I started running! Every once in awhile I'd stop at one of my stations and start digging. Just trying to give her something to do. That's the thoughtful part. She'd come and fill that hole so I'd go to station #2. She'd fill that one so I'd move on. You get the picture. For some reason I don't think she was happy because she went in the house and came out with this stuff she calls hot sauce that she dumped in the holes. I didn't think it was so bad. Then she came out with something she sprinkled on my digging spots. That made me sneeze and I didn't like it much.

Of course |
Was thinking about the great things in my life, short as it has been so far. Of course, the best is Monty and then comes Mom and Dad. One great thing to do is take a nap with Monty and Mom on the big bed...I get myself sandwiched right in between the two of them and it is just great. Mom works hard to give me good meals and I'm really beginning to appreciate it. Dad takes me for walks almost every day and I get to go
before Mr. M! Dad's tried taking us both together but I showed him I like my alone time with him. Guess how! Other great things: the beach house, Granny, Casey, chickens, human aunts and uncles, Mattie, Tori, Annie, Eizabeth, and Cathy, Corbin, Brenden, and Aaron, any bed, and parties.
Mom said I'd better get this posted...I wanted to tell you about my new name...THE DESTRUCTOR. Probably in my next post. Don't know if that's a better name than fleabag which is what they called me for awhile.
Later,
Juno
