Finally!

getting a drink from the pond

Mom's been home a whole week now, so things are pretty much back to normal.  I even got to go tracking this morning!  That was a frustrating event because we went to Marymoor Park where we have gone lots of times and just as I was starting, this park person came in a white truck and told us we couldn't be where we were.  I think the fact that there was a man throwing a ball for a Golden and a German Shepard close by called her attention to the area.  She told us all that it was not a dog area and we needed to leave.  Mom said we just had to pick up the stuff on our track but she was a little ...you know, upset, since it's hard to find places to practice tracking.  Instead of leaving entirely, we went to the park office and talked to these nice women, the one in charge is Anne, and they thought maybe the person who shooed us off didn't see the line on my harness.  Anyway, we now have permission to use most areas so we stopped and put in a very short track which was kind of a test since it's where the geese like to be...good girl Juno didn't even bother with it much less roll in it.

On the way home we stopped at Starbucks. Monty always gets to go with Dad so Mom thought I should be able to go also...only fair says I. Some very dear friends, Carol and George, were there so I got to visit and Mom kept giving George treats to feed me which, of course, made him pretty special.  I was a very good girl.  Mom saw this little girl looking at me so asked if she wanted to pet me ...that is pretty special because I just LOVE little girls.  She petted me for a long time and Mom let her give me a treat...I am very gentle, not like Monty the piranha.  Finally we came home and I got that bath I've been looking forward to...went right out and climbed in the tub.  Now for the hair cut.




eating pears

Think I've told you about the pear tree in our back yard...well the pears are getting ripe and falling from the tree.  Guess who loves pears?  ME!  Mom finally picked them up after I had eaten a couple.  She also fenced off that area of the yard because
Monty goes back there and chews on wood.  Don't ask me why.  She THINKS she fenced it off but I can charge right through in this one little place.

Ramona

When Mom was in Oregon, she met one of my sisters; her name is Ramona and she kind of looks like me.  Ramona's mom said that she is sensitive to certain sounds like coughing and sneezing...just like me! Maybe I'll get to meet her one day.

We are starting to get ready for a road trip to Wyoming for a wedding and I get to go.  Monty will stay at the beach with a babysitter.  She thinks maybe we can do some tracking someplace along the way.  Looks like there's a push on to enter the test in January.  No more fooling around!
