EXHAUSTED!

Oh my I'm exhuasted!  I've found many new friends at the dog parks where G&G take me and Gpa has me running from one end to the other chasing the ball and frisbee.  At Parkrose a chocolate lab outran me on the first throw but after that there was no catching me.  We had fun racing together.  Today we went to Lents park and the 4 dogs were all smaller than me.  I get most excited when we go to Cherry Park .  Colby (a neighbor boy) came to play  and I ran all over the yard.  

When the loud clock strikes 10 every night I go 'pillow up'  without being told.  And, in the early morning if Gma isn't ready to get up when I nudge her at 6 I go back to sleep.  

 We also went walking with the leash through the park by my master's house - it was ok but they wouldn't let me chase the squirrels.  The leash is now a necessary evil I deal with to get to travel and I've found when I don't pull they are not using the one that goes over my nose.  I like to hear the word 'heel' since I like being next to G&G anyhow.   

Gma cut my toenails!    It didn't hurt, I didn't fuss at all and it was much better than going back to that horrible place where they put a chain around my neck.  I even let her file them so they weren't so sharp.

We have a new visitor for a few days - my friend Casey came to stay with G&G as he starts his new job in Gresham.  He is excited and I was very excited to see him again.

WHOA!  I'm hearing a new sound when I bark at the door - YIKES!  G&G used to hollar "Scout NO" but now I just hear this unexpected sound and stop right away - it's some kind of a loud CLICK and it stops me dead in my tracks trying to figure out what it is.  It certainly gets my attention.  And Gma has a new command, "uhhhh uhhhh uhhhh" when I try and go behind the curtains at night.  I don't really mind since they let me look out the window when the curtains are open - my favorite thing is watching the cats and squirrels cross the street to our back yard.

until next time - Scout
