Well, it's July 11th and the summer heat has definitely arrived. I can't say I like it very much. As you know, I wear a fur coat everyday and can't take it off. Luckily my humans are very good about trying to keep me cool. I've learned to stay under the fans when it's very hot.
Grandma and papa went to get doughnuts this morning and guess what! They got me my very own doughnut holes! All for me! Well, there were only two but they were what my mom is calling Mia-sized. I love that. Personally I think everything is Mia-sized.
On our walk I got to see Sadie. We gave each other a nose kiss. She's so nice. For lunch we had what mom called piglets in a blanket. Haha! That's funny. Well, you've surely heard of pigs in a blanket. Instead of normal-sized hot dogs we had little mini hot dogs in the croissants. They were yummy piglets!
The next evening Bailey and her friend, Sage, came by to ask if they could take me for a walk. Grandma said yes. I love going for walks! I was exhausted after this walk though. I think it was still a little too hot.
On the 14th after mom went to bed I decided I wanted to go spend some time with her. She wasn't asleep yet. She was still getting ready for bed. So I jumped up on her bed and just lay there for a while. Then I went back downstairs for a minute or two then went back up to her bed. This time I took the pillow end!!! She has comfy pillows. I stayed for several minutes then finally left after leaving lots of my fur on her sheets.
As I said, it's been hot lately. My family has been putting a cool, wet wash cloth on my head and sometimes on the rest of my body. I like that. It really helps me keep cool. Don't I have a thoughtful family?

Thunder Storms and Lattes
Over the next few days grandma kept enticing me into the pool with some treats. I did every time but once when I put my paw down and said heck no! She didn't give me the treat!!! Hmmph!
On the 7th I was upstairs with grandma. Mom was at work. Grandma could see out the window that Dash was going by so she told me. I looked out the window and there he was! I love Dash!!! I watched until he was out of sight. I wish I could have said hello to him up close.
That night I played with my crazy critter for a little bit. I was kinda gnawing on it. I was trying to find the little squeaky part. I finally found it.
The next evening Amy came by and took me for a walk. We ran all the way around the block. I was pooped when I got home. But it was a good kind of tired. I love to run and Amy has enough energy to keep up with me. Thanks for the run, Amy.
That night we had a thunderstorm. I jumped up on grandma and papa's bed so they would know it was okay and the storm wouldn't hurt them.
On the morning of the 9th I was waiting and waiting for mom to finish with her coffee. Sometimes she saves me a little. Well, she did and the second she came downstairs with her coffee cup, I started following her around. I even did a couple of shark bumps on the cup to get her attention. I think she was playing with me because she kept walking around like she didn't notice me! Finally I got my coffee. It was so good. A latte I think. Yum!

Happy Independence Day!!!
It's the 4th of July! Now I know you know what this day is. It's America's birthday. My mom says the USA is 234 years old today. Wow! That's 1638 in dog years! Happy birthday to the greatest country in the world!!!!
Grandma was happy with something I did today for the first time. Or is it only the first time my family has noticed? Anyway, I was looking out the front windows. Those windows have a very low window sill and they are perfect for a dog to put it's head on the sill. And that's what I did for the first time. No big deal. But grandma made a big thing out of it. She said all my predecessors and cousins have done the same thing and she's been waiting for me to do it too. Glad I could make her life so exciting with such a mundane thing. She needs to get a life!
The next day my family set up a little kiddie pool for me. They said it will help keep me cool in the summer. I think the a/c in the house does that already! Silly humans. Why would I want to get wet? I suspect what my family really wants is to use the pool to give me a bath. But I'm on to them! I'm not gonna get in willingly.
Okay, well, maybe a little willingly. Grandma enticed me with a piece of chicken to put my front paws in the pool. Then another piece of chicken and all four paws were in the pool. But I jumped right out after eating the chicken! No bath yet but I'm still suspicious. I will admit it was nice to cool my paws in the water.

Nasty Little Creatures
Well, it's already June 30th. This year is just flying by! Today Amy came by and took me for a walk. We also got to meet Amy's dad. He seemed nice. Did you know that Amy also walks my friend, Sadie? She does. Sadie never told me that! Probably wanted to keep Amy to herself. Well, her secret is out now.
The next day we met a new neighbor. After saying I was beautiful (several times), he said my family should get a sled so I can pull them. What? Me work? What is he thinking? This kind of beautiful does NOT work! That's what humans are for. Serious lapse in judgment by that human. Hmmph!
On July 3rd we went for our usual walk. In the afternoon I saw a fly on the living room window. I tried to catch it but it was too fast for me. I DO NOT LIKE FLIES!!!! I don't know if I've ever mentioned this but the tips of my ears were eaten away by flies at my previous home so you can imagine why I hate those nasty creatures so much. I am glad my new family takes better care of me. I'm very lucky to have found myself this wonderful home. Okay, so they found me. Whatever.
