My time at the Grandparents
|
This morning it was a little cooler,
around 63, so we went for a 2.5 mile walk and were back home by 8:00
a.m. A lady who was starting when we finished, had her dog on a leash
and said how really cute I looked (and me with my tongue hanging out
from all the exertion).
Yesterday we kind of hung around when
g'dad went to count money. When he came back he waxed g'mom's car and
then celebrated by giving me the remaining 1/4 cup of ice cream he
found in the freezer (It was hot and humid yesterday). He cut the top
1/2 off the quart package so I could get to it. When it was gone, I
played with the container for about an hour. I went for several walks
and we played with the tennis ball outside several times. The lady up
the street stopped her car and jumped out to talk with me and say how
cute I was (I haven't let all these compliments go to my head). Last
evening I had the runs (the kind where I zoom around the room, under
furniture, in figure eights and circles. I guess I did that for
nearly 20 minutes. I don't know why. G'dad said I won't be able to
do that in Chicago because of the wood floors... I'll just slide and
not get any traction. On my final walk with G'mom several people
stopped us to chat about me and were sorry to hear I'm not going to be
here long. Even the lady from Scotland, Liz, who has a small yip-yap
dog said I was really cute.
Only 10 days to go.
Hi, :)
You should have seen me when we turned
on our 3 mile walk this morning. He was feeling the first mile and
a half at the turn around point when I became the Tibetan sled dog.
I was pulling him. My hair was blown back and my strong back
muscles were evident as I tried to lurch further and faster. He
kept trying to slow me down. After about a mile, I let him lead
until the very end, but it was glorious. I admit he did have to
pull me for most of the way up, but my class showed in the end.
I guess she sent you a note saying I was
bad. I won't dignify that with a response except to say she called
him to the computer to show him that I was laying on the keyboard.
Now how could that happen if she hadn't put me up there?
I wasn't too hungry yesterday and they
were worried. I think I'm fine. I ate some this morning and will
have more this evening.
It's supposed to get warm today (upper
80's). Only 8 more days.

We're getting close... only one week
now.
Yesterday was a good day. We took it
easy throughout the afternoon but when she came home things picked
up. I ran and ran and ran. Circles, figure eights, loops, under
chairs tables, down the hall, etc. I even ran a bit this morning.
We haven't gone for a walk since he has to go into the office
today. I don't think I'm going with him.
Tonight we are going to go the concert
in the park. It's a musical group from Duquesne University's music
school. We'll be sitting on the hillside. I'm looking forward to
it. The last couple concerts were rained out. But, it will be
warm.

:) Hi,
Here's a question for you... what does
11760 represent?
I'll let you figure that one out.
Today started out with a two mile walk.
He pulled me up the first mile while I pulled him down the 2nd
mile. It was getting more and more humid so we only went 2 miles.
It's supposed to hit 90 today (almost as hot as Chicago, my home
town). Don't forget, next week today, we're on our way. He told
two ladies walking up when we were coming down, I was a "start the
day with a smile" dog". They were smiling when they saw me and they
agreed.
From there it went downhill. That is
when we got home, I ran upstairs and he ordered (actually ordered me
down). I didn't want to come down. He said "COME" several times
and I just looked at him from the top step with the same look that
got the ladies to smile. He didn't think it funny for some reason
and came up after me not looking amused. I knew I was in trouble
then, but I have my pride so I wasn't going to come down. Well, he
grabbed me and down we went and I went into the kennel while he
worked a crossword puzzle. Then he got a shower. We're downstairs
now and I'm zooming around and leaping at and playing with my
pacifier.
Last evening we went to a concert in the
park. They were featuring a jazz guitar group called "Catch 22".
Dad would really enjoy some of their music. There was a dog near us
that they wouldn't let me go nuzzle with. Both said HE was well
behaved. Then they both agreed one or both of you should take me to
obedience school, what ever that is. I sat on his lap most of the
concert although she did take me for two walks (she was afraid I'd
go to the bathroom, but I didn't). There weren't too many people
there and only the one dog, although right before we left another
one came. I didn't get near him.
Oh yes, he gave me a bath yesterday, so
I am fresh and clean.
See you soon,
"T" XOXOXOXOX

Well I'll start with the bad news since
you will find out anyway. I almost made it to 3 weeks. I don't
know what happened.
First she thought I was trying to bite
her. I was just playing a teething game. She was really getting
frustrated because I didn't stop biting her fingers and hands. Then
when it was about 10 minutes before kennel time i goofed. I was
playing with some toys (the pacifier and/or a ball - he would throw
it and I'd bring it back and we'd struggle for it and when he got it
he'd throw it again). I went out of the room and he came looking
for me when I didn't return. I went to see her (she was on the
computer downstairs). He came in the room and I went out to the
door and peed right there. I knew I was in trouble the minute it
happened. Sure enough, the error of my ways were pointed out to me
and the next thing I know I was outside where I had to urinate again
and deficate. Then boom, into the kennel. This morning I was
"cautioned" about getting on any carpteting.
This morning we went for a walk right
after she left. It was about 75 degrees with a humidity level
around 85. We got 2 miles in but boy was it a struggle. I was
huffing and puffing like the little train that could. Did that
water taste good when we got back to the car. When we finally got
into the house, I just laid on the floor and let my belly get cool
on the tiles.
We're getting close, this is my last
weekend here.

Please come home soon. We are worried
about John's health. He needs someone to go out and exercise and
play with. We watch him all night and he isn't sleeping well
because of his cough. His job isn't keeping him busy enough and he
is fiddling around doing geeky stuff like.

Makes us all want to yak!

Shheesh!! I did it again. We were
playing with my toys downstairs and I had to go. So I did on the
carpet in the laundry room. They didn't want to wait until Thursday
if you know what I mean. I'm blaming it on the "dog days of summer"
which is now. It was off to bed right after that.
Today we went down to the path and
walked up one mile and stopped for coffee/tea and blueberry muffins
(of which I didn't get any). I had to go here too. Luckily it was
a wood chip area with the tables and chairs so cleaning up wasn't
too difficult. He always has a plastic bag in his pocket.
Which reminds me, if you haven't already
started, start saving those bags the newspaper comes in. Just the
right size.
They went for groceries (I stayed home)
and then this afternoon we went to Simmons. I went along for that
ride.
We all read dad's email and went to the
Tenzo.com web site. Parts are cute. They didn't think mom's full
name (birthday page) should be on the internet with all the psychos
running around in the world.
Great Aunt Henrietta's coming for
risotto dinner tomorrow. She asks about me and dad a lot. She
didn't ask about G'dad or mom. Mostly me (and a little bit on
dad). She sounds cute.
We're getting close, only 4.5 days now.
