Exhausted!

Wow, I've been too tired to write all weekend! Mommy and Daddy took me and Sirius to this new place on Friday. We could hear dogs barking from the outside. Then we went inside, and the smells! WOW! So many things to smell and to explore!

Mommy and Daddy left us behind the counter with a really nice lady. They came back about 5 minutes later, and then the lady took off our harnesses and put new collars on, and took us through the door that Mommy and Daddy had gone through.

There were all these play areas full of other doggies! It was like a doggie park, but inside! We sniffed the other dogs at the fence first, then the lady opened the door and let us in. SO MUCH FUN! There was stuff to climb on, and lots of room to run.

By the time Mommy and Daddy came back, I was just laying on the floor watching the other dogs. Even Sirius looked tired!

We slept the whole way back home. Mommy and Daddy were talking about the place, and something called Labor Day weekend. I was only half awake, so I didn't catch the whole conversation, but it sounds like Sirius and I will get to go back on Labor Day weekend!

Noms!

Mommy brought home fixin's for Chinese food!

They wasn't too happy, though. They hissed at me and Sirius before Mommy took them upstairs.

Huh. Why'd she take them upstairs? Kitchen's on this floor. And she only brought home four portions. Between her, Daddy, Sirius, Reese, and me, we need another portion.

Ain't no way I'm sharing.

I just peeked. She put them in a cage. They're kinda small. I think we're going green -- growing our own food!

I'm a Con- . . . a Contest- . . . Vote for Me.

Mommy entered me in the Cutest Dog Contest. And why wouldn't she? I'm adorable! All these ladies said so last night!

She had to send the contest people a picture of me, and she couldn't even decide which one to send!

But here it is:

And here's the link to vote for me:

Cutest Dog Contest - Owen

The grand prize is a million dollars. Do you know how many hot dogs that buys?!?

Poor Excuse for a Swimming Pool

It's HOT today. So, Mommy asked Daddy to fill up the pool. I had no idea what she was talking about. What's a pool?



About ten minutes later, Daddy came back inside and put leashes on all of us. The whole family went out front.



There was this round, blue thing filled with water. I got in it, but it wasn't the same as the lake. The water barely reached halfway up my leg! How am I supposed to do somersaults in this little bit of water?



I noticed that there looked like there was something under the water. I stuck my nose under to smell it, but ended up just inhaling water. Turns out, it was fish painted on the bottom of this thing. Who does that??

Sirius came into the pool, too, but Reese wanted nothing to do with it. Which was weird, 'cuz last time, she ran into the lake even before I did! So, Mommy put her back inside, and she watched us from the windowsill.

Eventually, Sirius was more interested in barking at the mailman, and Daddy took him inside, too.

I stayed out there a bit, but I was more interested in eating the grass than "swimming." Can't swim in that thing.
