When my folks got me out of Oaktown in August, I had no idea what I was in for.
They took me to their house in the mountains, and it was great. But just when I thought I was going to have a nice comfy life up here, white stuff started falling from the sky and before I could say “Snow Day!” Mom and Dad packed our stuff up and away we went.
Nevada. California. Arizona. New Mexico. Texas. New Mexico again. Then, back to Colorado, which is where we are now.
It was a crazy winter and I have to admit, I was a pretty crazy dog. What I saw, man it was so different from the life in the city that I knew. We had our share of ups and downs, but I think it was a pretty good trip.
The last couple of weeks I got to see some humans who met me when I first joined my pawrent’s pack. And you know what they said?
They said that I had changed!
Some of them said I was much healthier and stronger. And others said that I was more well behaved and paid more attention to Mom and Dad. Me? Me! That made me feel pretty good, and I think I saw Dad smile too.
Now, we’re back in the big dog house that doesn’t go anywhere, hanging out and working working working. Well, Mom and Dad are working on their computers all the time.
Me, I’m keeping guard and watching out for the moose that we keep seeing around here. And I try to get my folks out to enjoy this pretty place.
It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.
