I know it's been a while since I've been on here but since I can't type well I have to wait for WP to help me out. And she's been busy.
This is not the time of year to be a medium long haired pup. Since the weather has been a wee bit on the mild side that means lots of mud. WP does not like it when I come in from a day hike with HP with mud between my toes and caked on my belly. She gets downright testy. I try my best to sneak in but I think she has eyes in the back of her head because I usually end up in the utility sink, up to my ears in sudsy water. But on the good side that means she lets me snuggle in on the bed at night. Comfy! I really kind of like my baths and love love the blow dry afterwards!
Well I had my annual vet check up last month too....Geez I don't like shots but it was time to get renewed...Dr Bovard is real nice and he's pretty gentle about the whole deal. I got three of them and HP got lectured about my weight....so it's back on the old diet. I think that's about normal for everyone this time of year...I needs to lose 5 pounds about 20% of my total body weight, I am bit on the porky side. I did learn a new trick this month but WP caught on real fast. I need to learn how to open the kitchen cupboard quietly. I was starving and found out I could nose my way in and help myself to the garbage. I got caught red pawed and was reprimanded verbally. My bad!
WP spent a lot of time last month in house cleaning mode too. I sure wish someone would turn off her "clean" button. I don't care too much for that thing that sucks up all the hair that I took so much time to grow. It makes a lot of noise and is scary..but it was all for a very good reason because I finally got to meet that new short person in the family.
After the family left WP was running around getting us packed up for our trip to Seattle. HP likes going to the boat show there. He hadn't been in quite a few years so decided to go. I went the last time too and it's a bit boring for the three of us pups...we have to just sit in the car all day and get to go for short walks twice a day. There really isn't any place for us to really get out and stretch but HP tries real hard top get us good exercise before we go and also again when we get home...guess it's better to be with the family than sitting in some kennel somewhere with a bunch of strangers. We get our kennel cough shots but still won't stay in one...Anyway thew show was at the CenturyLink stadium where the Seahawks play. I would really like to see that one day but pups aren't allowed inside. I heard from WP and HP that a plastic cup of beer cost $9.50 and a bottled of water was $3.75. HP did buy a boat though..Here's a picture of it...it's the one in the center...tee hee. It will come in handy to get us to shore for potty breaks when we go boating. Now we just have to learn how to get off and one with out getting out tootsies wet.
WP and HP chatted all the way home about the fun time they had this trip. Met a lot of people that own the same kind of boats and made plans for meeting up with some of them in May at a "gathering". Dogs are invited to this one. That means I will have to brush up on my nautical terms. "Ruff" water and stowing stuff in the bow wow...oops I mean bow. Port...starboard, bow, stern. Guess I had better start studying. I sure don't want to seem like a ranch dog in front of all those other sea dogs.
WP got a new fancy camera for her birthday so I am sure she will be taking lots more pictures of us in the very near future. Guess that's it for now...will try and post again this month to let you know just what we have our paws into.
