hi

Hey everyone.

It's been a while since I wrote in here. Mom says it's somethin' like we don't have internet where we are so I don't get to post as often. Mom and I are up in Northern Michigan at some good friends of my moms. We been up here before. I like it here for one reason. There's cats I can torment here. Used to be just one, but my mom's friend has a cat, and the people she lives with have two kittens. Plus Dose who is always good for a laugh. She's the cat that's always been around. Well anyways, I been spendin' most of my time tryin' to annoy each cat. They hiss at me, and swot at me, I think it's hilarious! Accept sometimes they trap me either upstairs or downstairs. They sit in the middle of the stairs and won't let me pass. Mom will call me, but the cats won't let me by. I know I should just plow over them, but that look in their eyes stops me every time. I also got an ear infection not long after comin' up here. Mom says it's from me eatin' the cat food. Shoot ma you ain't supposed to know that! I been real sneaky about that. Guess I'm payin' for it now cuz my ear is all messed up and mom has to clean it out a lot and it hurts like no one's business! I've gotten to do some work while up here too. I haven't been so good in the dog distraction department. Mom's had to get stern with me because I just couldn't resist givin' some dogs a piece of my mind. Well they mouthy up here I mean it!

One night the humans went to this place where they take big balls and role them down a long path thing to nock over pins at the other end. It's loud and I was nervous at first. Shoot those balls looked dangerous. If they can nock over those pins? Mom tied me to a chair and just left me to play this game. Every time it was her turn I just about came unscrewed thinkin' she was gunna get hurt! Another thing that made the game weird was the lights. They made certain things kind of glow. That was weird! Y'all know how I get about weird lookin' things. So I finally settled down for that because the humans really were havin' such a good time. Other things we've done so far are going to church, everyone wanted to pet me and a few did. Just reached down and petted me. Excuse me! I do have a sign on this harness. We went to an outdoor concert, mom took me on a boat, that was interesting. They got on this boat, went out on the lake singin' songs and stuff, then we came back. They didn't even go anywhere. Humans are so weird! This last week mom has been stayin' at the house. Guess the others been workin' or somethin'. So it's been me and mom in the basement. She listenin' to stuff on the computer, me layin' on the floor watchin' for cats to annoy. And tryin' to keep mom from gettin' too wressless. These last few days, we went on a road trip to a camp ground. Shoot Dasher mom and dad were there! Sweet! And Dasher too! I was surprised at the end of the night when mom put me back in the car to come back up here. I thought we were goin' back home. But not yet. Mom's havin' too much fun. I am too really. Today we wen to a beech though, and mom tied me to a picnic table while she and her friend went out in to the water. It wasn't long till my chain was tangled and I was practically chokin' myself tryin' to fix it. O well! There go Reba dyin'! Bye ma! I thought she'd never come back. But she finally did. Uh hi mom, yes I'm chokin'! No I can't move! Ma! Please unhook me! They got me free finally and took me to this house with cats everywhere. What is with cats up here. It's like catville or somethin'! These cats were jumpin' on the car to see me. Mom left me in the car so I wouldn't go after the cats. O

 Yeh, one night, this was really weird. The humans went out to dinner, that's normal, them stuffin' their faces. Then they walked around, went to a light and music show, think it's called a lazer show. Well after that  thought we were goin' home. Nope, instead we drive out to the lake, it's pitch black and we get out just to walk on the beech. I'm lookin' around for wild animals, the humans are talkin' like they got good sense. And as if that wasn't enough, they got in the car and drove some more and parked somewhere to talk even more. Wow! How much can humans talk. Talk and eat I mean it! My ear is still hurtin' a lot. I'm sorry ma I had to grab the blue berry muffin! You thought it was hidden, but I smelled it and well, serves you right for leavin' me in the car to watch the cats climb on the car to stare at me. Shoot I ain't a freek show in the zoo I mean it! I better wrap this up soon. I'm bein' tormented by kittens right now. They know I'm tied up and can't chase them so they are takin' full advantage of it. Stupid cats! No respect! Mom's havin' a lot of fun up here and I must admit I am too. It's good to see mom havin' fun. I don't know when I'll be able to post this. But I know I need to soon. All my readers probably thought I died. Mom can't even check her email up here. I'll update again soon when we've done more things up here. I hope you all are behavin'.
