How Time Does Fly!






I apologize for the lack of updates! I was visiting my Grandma and Grandpa in New York. They have a house on the lake and I experienced my first swim… in the deep end. Though mom had put a lifejacket on me, I didn’t know what was going! Dad would put me in the water and, instinctively, I would kick all four of my little legs, creating a paddling motion. Talk about exhausting. I got the hang of it and would want to do it all the time, well that is if my mom or dad was in the water. It is always more fun to swim to someone then to look out into the open water and immediately feel lost!!

Swimming was not the only highlight to the trip! Going there, I got to spend eight wonderful hours going bye-bye with my mom and dad. Then, when we got there, Grandma went nuts!! She was saying/ screaming my name in this high pitched voice, I got excited, especially once I took a good whiff of the house… quickly remembering the other creatures, four cats that like to “play” hide-and-seek.”

Three of the cats are huge, bigger then me! But they never want to play L. The other one is a whopping three pounds, but man is she fierce. Her name is Zoë and she is one challenge. Good thing there were plenty of people who loved giving me the attention I need and adore… beat that Zoë.

Oh, how I wish I were still there. Now, I am back in Virginia. Sigh No cats to torture, but I do have my Nugget! Nugget is a one-year-old yellow lab whom I am deeply infatuated with. She is daddy’s parents pride and joy. So I always get to see her J. We spent three amazing weeks in the Outerbanks together.


Yesterday, daddy took me to “Camp Nugget.” All day I got to play with my best friend! We played “find it,” had lots of treats, butt tucked, tug of war, the typical things best friends do. I was soooo Night-Night when I finally got home.


And today… I have to go to the vet! Sometimes I really like it there, mostly every time, because the women there give me so much loving. I’ve had this exasperating sensation all summer. We all thought the mosquitoes have gotten the best of me, but the mosquitoes are no longer biting so who knows what’s going on! I will let you all know!
