Monday in Great Falls

Morning nap on Aunt Sue's kitchen floor.....

Hello friends and soon to be friends,

Not much to tell you today as it was kind of a slow, easy day. We got up early, as usual, and while Mom, Dad, and Uncle Gale sat around the table drinking coffee and laughing at each other.......I don't get that, but.........I went outside and did my best to wake the dogs next door. I was successful and PJ came over to the fence and wanted to play. She's an Australian Sheep Dog or some such thing, and she'd really like to come over to play but her parents won't let her. In fact, they weren't so happy about our conversation 'cause it was rather early but if you don't talk, how do you get to know each other? Anyhow, after her parents yelled at her, I came back inside and just played with Uncle Gale. He likes me, and he's a softie, just like Uncle Dick was. I really get along with boys......don't get me wrong, I love Aunt Sue and she likes me, too, but she has this thing about doggie hair, or sleeping on the sofa, or dive-bombing her feet. Boys don't care so much about that sort of stuff, but girls? A different story all together.

Anyhow.....that's the I digress word......later on the humans all went to Wal-Mart to do some shopping, and I had to stay in my kennel. The only good thing about that was that they bought me a new frisbe....and it's purple!! I love purple!! My green one bit the dust.....actually, I bit it until it wouldn't fly very well, but we don't need to go into the details. Mom also found me some tennis balls and I love tennis balls. They have this green fuzzy stuff all over them that I chew off. Sometimes I spit it out....'specially if Mom is watching....but sometimes I forget and just swallow it. It comes out......eventually......and increases the color intensity of my yard-art. I should have had Mom take pictures of my yard-art from the beginning......I think I could have made some money from prints. I'm really quite talented, you know.

After Wal-Mart, they came home and just sat around and talked. After supper, they went out for a DQ......I didn't get to go this time because they were going to stop at some Pawn Shops along the way. There are a lot of pawn shops around here, and Mom says some of them have some neat stuff. After that, it was kinda dull so we went to bed early. I got to stay up with Aunt Sue for awhile. She has a slightly different schedule than the other three...she stays up until 3AM and sleeps until 10 or later. I was happy to stay with her because I wasn't quite ready to go to bed, and when I was, I just dropped in the hallway where I could see what was going on everywhere, and slept there. That's the first time ever I spent a night away from my Daddy.....except when I stayed with Auntie Em one time when Mom and Dad had to go away....but I was younger then, and they weren't so attached to me......they sure are now!! Daddy wasn't very happy, but he doesn't like it when I sneak up onto the bed at night either. He says he doesn't have any room, but he does. I leave him plenty. He just has to move over a little bit.....it's not a biggie as far as I'm concerned.

So tomorrow, I think Aunt Sue and Mom are going shopping. They both love to shop.....and who knows what they'll come home with!! Dad and Uncle Gale are going to a big sporting goods shop so I'll go with them. It's raining today, so I can't go out to play and PJ is in her house. I already checked that out.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!! See you tomorrow!!
