Sunday, in Wyoming

Hi, friends and relatives all over the place,

I'm sorry I didn't blog yesterday, but we had a very long day and we were all terribly tired when we got back to the camper....'specially Daddy, who does all the driving. Mommy keeps offering, but Daddy says if she drives, he'll just go to sleep and miss all the sights. So I guess it's a good thing that he drives. We do try to stop every couple of hours and get out to walk. I usually have to wee wee and there are always a million new smells to get to. I had no idea there were so many smells in the world. It's great, but I'd do better if Mommy would let me off the chain. I could go to so many spots farther away.....and she doesn't want me to. I think she's squelching my creativity, but she doesn't care. She says she's afraid I'd run after something......and I might, but I'd come right back! Oh well.....

So, where to start. The big tiring trip was down to Jackson, to see the Tetons. Oh my......once they came into view, Mommy started with the teary thing again. She gets all salty on her face when she does that, and I have to clean her up. I don't mind, but geesh, they're just mountains, ya know? I'll put some pictures in later so you can see.

Some funny things happened on Saturday.....I'm sure they must have....but sometimes I forget and if Mommy doesn't write them down in her book, then none of us remember. There was one time when we were going though a heavily wooded area when Daddy said he should have done something to start a legend way long ago when he was young....like whoever it was that started the legend of Big Foot.....Daddy said that if he got all naked and streaked through the woods in an area with a lot of tourists, he could have started his own legend of Big D.....k......I'm not supposed to say that word. Anyhow, Mommy just about lost it....I thought she was going to throw up, or something, but she was just laughing hard. Took her a long time to get over that one. Daddy's gonna be mad when he learns that I told you that story, so don't mention it to him, OK? God, I'm gonna get in a pile of trouble.....but it was a pretty dull day, funny-wise, so I had to tell you something. Right? Right!

Now I'm mad. I had just pawed a whole story of what happened today when Mommy accidentally hit a button and she lost it all for me. Now I have to start all over again......this is the bad thing about a Netbook...it's too small for my paws and Mommy's fingers. We keep hitting things that we shouldn't when we shouldn't.



Ok, so this was the worst day of our trip....for me. Mommy and Daddy would probably pick the day the bottom fell off of the camper....or when the U joint froze up, making turning an EVENT. But for me? It was today. We were on our way out of Yellowstone Park, going to the north of Yellowstone Lake, when, KAZAM! There were about a gazillion of these big brown hairy things all over the place! They were in the meadows, on the hills, in the river, in the white dusty spots, along the roadway, in the trees, next to all the cars.....I mean they were EVERYWHERE! And you know what they wanted? They wanted to PLAY! They wanted to run and chase and swim and look in windows and scratch their backs on trees, and smell each other's whooo-hooos....and ya know what? I KNOW HOW TO DO ALL THAT! I CAN PLAY LIKE THAT! I WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AND JOIN THE FUN! BUT WOULD THEY LET ME? Oh no, Mommy had a death grip on my collar, and no matter how hard I tried to get out of the small opening at the top of the window, I just couldn't. So, know what I did? I barked, and growled, and whined, and yipped, and cried, and know where it got me? Nowhere. It just wasn't fair. They wanted me to come out to play, I know they did. It took us about an hour to get through all of them, and from then on, I just pouted. I wouldn't eat, or drink or wee wee or anything THEY wanted me to do. Nope. They spoiled what could have been the greatest day of this trip. See if I wee wee on command anymore. Ha.....I'll show 'em.



Well, that's it for today. I may get over my mad by tomorrow, but who knows. Hope all is well at your houses. Sleep well.....I love you all.
