Summer Reading

I think Allana is a little confused on what the term "summer reading" is.  Normally, people will use the summer to read and relax, but for some reason Allana has not chosen a book that is on the New York Best Seller list, or one the must read on the beach lists.  This is what she is reading...

Yes, Educational Research.  It is really hard to get on the computer here too!  She moves from the chair from reading to the computer and back.  This is not my idea of "fun" summer.

Did't get to go to the Show.

I tried camping out at the back door today but I was not successful in getting Allana to take me to the show. I was left at home gain  and yes, I had to babysit Harrison again.  I'm really missing going out to the shows or anywhere.  I get to go to PetsMart and that is about it.  I really need my own road trip.  And to top it all off, Star came home bragging about another Best of Breed ribbon.   Don't worry, I was very polite, but really? This is only her 4th Best of Breed.  Know I know that she has only been out as a special for 5 shows, but I have at least a dozen Best of Breeds to my credit and I was running agility and herding sheep all at the same time!  I did congratulate her but I sure hope she doesn't start thinking she is more important than me as she totally isn't.

Dog Show Time

So, Allana gets back from her conference really early Thursday morning and off she goes to a dog show later that morning.  Now it's not too bad as the show is close by so her suitcase is still home.  I do get a little jealous that I don't get to go to the shows anymore especially when I see Cooper and Star coming home with ribbons.  I sort of understand that she doesn't want me exposed to any germs, but today I'm really jealous.  Stitch got to go and participate in  Meet the Breed and he got to see Taio!

Let me tell you about Meet the Breed.  It is the best.  All these people come to the show just to see a dog and to pet a dog and when I got to participate in Meet the Breed, I know they came just for me.  You totally get to feel like a rock star and everyone takes photos of you!  Today, Stitch got to do this and then Taio came by to visit at the dog show and Stitch got to visit with him.  I was the one that raised Taio from a puppy!  I had to teach him manners and while I did have to share the couch with him, I kind of miss him.

I wonder if I go and sit by the door if Allana will let me go to the dog show tomorrow?

Allana's suitcase

Allana has her suitcase out again. She just got it home and now the suitcase is back out!  I want to go with her.  I'm sure I could fly with her.  I would be really quiet and could squish under the seat  I want to go with her.

Two Puppies is Two Too Many Sometimes!

These two may look all cute and innocent, but let me assure you they are far from well behaved.  First of all, you should notice that they are in Dan's chair that he got for Christmas.  Now I know that Stitch jumps up there once in awhile, but is not "rough housing" with another dog on the chair.  Stitch just lays there to relax.  These two little yahoos are all over every piece of furniture and every toy in the toy box is on the floor.  Who do they think is going to pick up after them?  They are interfering with my nap time.

Laura's puppy

Well, Laura's puppy arrived back here at home again. Laura must travel a lot. as he seems to spend a great deal of time with us.  I wonder how long he is going to be here for this time.  I heard that Laura is meeting grandma and Janna in Vegas for a 4th of July celebration!
