Cool I thought, finally a walk.  There we are then.  I am like, Hey, Jesus behind that bush, quit following me, WE have a walk to do!

So we get to the walk.  It was so great she didn’t even have to throw the ball!!

And I got busy not once but twice. Ahhh I couldn’t wait for whatever was next.

The Blond One decided to rest on The Tall One’s  grass.  I think she is way tired. 

Anyway it felt good watching her rest because I could tell it felt so restful.

I take my usual place in between them on the bed, kind of towards the feet.  I kind of wished 

The Tall One, Torri, would play again.  But it’s OK.  She maybe still plays and I am too

doggish and not smart enough to see it with my eyes.  You can see my ball here.

 I see some action today… a few squirrels, some squirrly birds, then

this lone goose honks by in a circle twice.  Eh I think.  What is she doing

because I sense an upcoming movement in her.  Yep.  She gets up

to sit against the tree.  Naturally I accompany her.  We are sitting pleased

as can be, she is touching me on that mother neck skin (oh my God I LOVE

that).  I have no sense like before so she tenses and I am ready to protect

and serve here on our hill.  Stand back!  The lens cover comes off the silver

case and I understand now.

She didn’t notice at the time though how, at the end of the 3 seconds,

the rainbow TURNED INTO A BALL!!

If I was some kind of whiz at the machine I would spice it up so you

could see the ball better.  Next we meander back to the blue car. 

She keeps talking about the clouds, how she has never seen a

blue one before.  I heard her thinking some other day not today

how this one-time-friend-so-she-thought called her psychotic and

she said of course she was because of all the hearts everywhere.

I did not understand. 

I just want some grass so I find some on top of that drawing The Tall

One did before she went back home forever.  See here I am.  Can you see

me?  I am the reddish dot above the ivy.  Don’t let me fall.

So I am eating delectable tendrils and she is taking pictures of hearts

and blue clouds and letter clouds in between

hide and seek with me.

See if you can find me here OK?  I am pretty much the red patch in the middle.

The reason I would rather just suck down some grass juice is because I know, not with my

doggish eyes, but I just know with My Knowing what is around ALL THE TIME.  Can you see

it?  Just try OK?  It’ll be fun.

And then she went away for no good reason so when there is company I can pretend that we are a pack again.  This human reminds me of My One and Only and once she gets that it is my bed we are all fine and asleep.

My eBay  

After poving mews my next challenge is to see how long I can live on X amount of money.  As heartwrenching as it is, I have taken the Steiffs out of their bags and interviewed each animal individually.  All were well-mannered and cooperative throughout with no evidence of distorted thinking.  Each bear, bunny, giraffe, camel, goose, parrot and kitten gleefully stepped into the photo booth, knowing they had lost their Master to an incomprehensible disappearance. Then there was this…

I did not know Sam but let me tell you how fast I would follow if She went missing.

The Blond One left me with The Tall One and I tried to tell her, “Nooooo!  The Tall One always dresses me up!!  Don’t leave me!”
