I've been really busy lately. Mommy and Kristal are still taking me and Suzy and Maggie and Mollie for walks. They rush home from work and load us all up in the car and we drive off to the trail. Since it is getting dark so early now we don't have time to go to the really cool trails. We only get to go to the "Hike and Bike" trail that is just down the road from us. We don't really care - just getting to go for a walk with my friends is what matters. Me and Mollie and Suzy all walk side-by-side, just wagging our tails and hanging our tongues out. Maggie is way smaller than us and she doesn't really keep up so she's behind us a little bit.
Sometimes when we're on the trail we pass other people. Some are on bikes and go by really fast. Other people are just strolling along. I don't understand why they're on the path - they don't have a dog with them. Maybe they lost their dog? Then, we see people who have a dog. Some of the dogs are really friendly and wag their tails at us and I can tell they are happy and their owners really love them. We also pass dogs that are walking along and look sort of angry. They always bark and growl at us so we bark back. That usually shuts them up and gets them moving!
The last time we went for a walk we were walking back to the car in almost dark! Mom and Kristi said we may not get to go again for a while. On our way back to the car me and Mollie heard the geese coming over us first. Mollie likes to look at them. I think she'd like to go hunting with me and Dad some day! We see all sorts of things besides geese. There were even some ducks that flew over and all we heard was their wings flapping. We almost always see a deer or two. I bet if we weren't on our leashes we could chase those deer. I know Mom and Kristi would get mad at us though.
Besides our walks - Daddy started taking me hunting again. Even if he doesn't shoot anything it's still fun.
Yesterday Mommy left and when she came back she had Jocelyn, the littlest kiddo with her. Jocelyn stayed all afternoon and played with us. I love when the kiddos come - they know where the treats are and think it is so much fun to give us some! Jocelyn even carried old Bozwell around for a while.
I helped load up the firewood beside the fireplace, so I'm thinking we'll be having a fire again soon. I hope so. After one of my busy days it's so nice to curl up in the chair and watch the fire. It feels so warm and cozy! It sure is a Dog's Life and I'm glad I'm a Dog!
