Sunday, the day before today.

Great Falls, Montana

At the river park.....the little girl wanted to pet the dog....she did and then ran to her mommy. She was cute.

Good Morning....from the big sky state of Montana!! It was a beautiful day yesterday and we did a lot of fun things. I had somewhat of a problem early in the morning when I went out to have my first wee-wee. Apparently it was watering day, because after I took care of my business, I went along the fence line like I usually do......ya know, did a spot pop up overnight that I could squeeze through to get to those neighbor dogs to play?......or maybe there's a squirrel scent I need to follow....or a jackalope that needs chasing......the usual doggie things....and all of a sudden water started coming out of the grass!! Scared the livin' beejeezus out of me!! And it went all across the yard! From one side to the other! I was trapped back by the fence! Trapped, I tell you! I couldn't get out! I ran back and forth and back and forth and couldn't find one spot to get through to find my way back to my daddy.....who was on the back porch laughing at me!! Are all parents like that? Finally, I took a risk and ran right through the water!! It wasn't as dangerous as I thought it would be, but Mommy wasn't pleased. She had to go get my towels and wipe me all off. Normally, she wouldn't care, but she didn't want me making a mess in Auntie Sue's house. I'm not sure why.....my Aunt Susie in Ohio was really a good sport about my messes!!

Well, anyhow, once I got over the attack by the sprinkler system, things began to look up. We all climbed into the truck...the men in the front and us girls in the back, and drove to a place where there was the shortest river in the world. Do you think anyone would let me go in? It was just my size and not very deep.....but the sign said no swimming!! I was sure it meant just people, but oh no, Mommy had a tight hold of my leash and she was bound and determined I wasn't going swimming. Such a waste of good water!! All those fish at the hatchery there were having a wonderful time swimming around! Why couldn't I???? So I crapped on the lawn there. Take that. Payback. Then, on the way back, we saw a doe and her twins trying to cross the road. One twin was having a hard time and was crying because she wanted to get down the side of the road to be with her mama and twin and it was steep and scarey. Dad stopped the truck and he and Uncle Gale got out to help...do you think they would let me come, too??? I could have gotten that fawn down that hill a lot faster than they did, but nooooo, Mom was holding onto my collar for dear life and Auntie Sue was taking pictures and I just wanted to help! To top the day off, once they had the deer problem in control, they stopped at an ice cream place to celebrate and wouldn't let me have any!! So what if it was chocolate! I like chocolate! Geesshhhh.......once we got back to the house, I went out to the backyard and crapped. I was really full of crap today....Daddy says I take after my mom. I don't know what today will bring, but I'll be sure to let you know!!
