Wednesday in Great Falls, Montana

Hello friends, known and yet to be known,

Another rather boring day in Montana. Mom and Aunt Sue did some more shopping......Christmas shopping if you can believe that!! It's only June and they're thinking December. Gotta be something terribly wrong with their brains.....Daddy says it's definitely a female affliction, but I don't have it!! 'Course, I'm an extraordinary canine......Uncle Gale got up in the morning and he and I had a nice conversation. I'm not sure what he thought I was saying, but he kept answering and asking more questions like "Did you have a good sleep last night?" and I said, "Yes, now scritch me all over." Then he'd say, "Did you have some nice dreams?" and I'd say, "What do you care, now scritch me all over." We talked for a good ten minutes but not all of it involved scritching.....I got duped! Oh well, we're guests here, so I have to do whatever I can to make my host and hostess happy. I'm leaving as much hair around as I can so that they don't forget me, at least not soon. I'm such a good girl.

Daddy and Uncle Gale hung around and swapped stories, then went off to the local sporting goods shop again. I don't understand what it is about fishing poles and guns that interest men, but they had a good time, so that's all that counts.

I slept in the living room again last night. I hang out with Auntie Sue until she goes to bed, and then I just stay in the living room where there's more room for me. I haven't done anything bad, either. I just sleep and there I am when Mom and Dad get up in the morning. Oh, I've thought about eating one of Auntie Sue's plants, but she really likes me, so I don't want to make her mad. I'd like to come back here someday......there are dogs on both sides of the fence and all I have to do is go near them and they bark at me! It's fun.

More later. Miss you all!! Juni
