Weekend With Mama

We are in Day 3 of our long weekend with just Mama.

Yesterday, we watched a movie and it had greyhounds in it. We were all surprised. It's called AWAY WE GO. It has a scene with greyhounds racing. We fell asleep about a half hour before the movie ended though, so we didn't know how it ended. Luckily, it was shown again in the evening and we were able to see the entire thing.

Mama read a book yesterday. She read the whole thing in about three hours. She cried and cried while reading it. Why do humans do that? The book is called THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN by Garth Stein. It is about a dog who is ready to die and the night before his death, he remembers his entire life. He had a good life, but there were a lot of sad things that happened to his human family. Mama said it was a good book.

We ate pizza bones and watched Mama play Wii. We took a short walk. We mainly just enjoyed spending time together.

Oh, do you want to see a funny picture of my goofy sister, Scout? Everyone thinks she is so pretty, but I know the real Scout. I know the Scout that sleeps with her tongue hanging out of her mouth. Do you want to see?

Yeah, she is really pretty, isn't she? LOL

It's Saturday!

Daddy is away camping as you know. It's supposed to be 96 today with high humidity, so we think we made the right decision in staying home. Last night, Mama went to Pizza Hut and we ate pizza bones. Yummy! It looks like we will be eating pizza bones all weekend because she forgot she was only buying for one human.

I was so excited when Mama brought home the pizza bones that I threw my stuffie in the air and it landed here.
Mama said we would stay up late and watch TV, but she came in the bedroom at 8 p.m. and read a new cookbook. We were asleep before Jay Leno came on. We did get up at 3 a.m. for a potty break and then we watched TV for a while again. Mama says it's a weekend to do what we want and we will only have to clean the house if the realtor calls for a showing.

Take Your Dog To Work Day

(Silly picture of us from last year. We were on vacation.)

Today is the day that many dogs get to go to work with their parents. We are lucky because we go to work with Mama every day. Mama works at home, so that makes it easy for us. We have a bed in the office. Scout sometimes goes in at lunch time, but normally she stays in the bedroom. She can see Mama from the bedroom, so it's not like she is far away. Sometimes Mama talking on the phone for work makes it hard for me to sleep, so it really depends on my mood whether or not I stay in the office. I check on her several times during the day though. I'm a good boy.

Daddy left for his camping trip this morning. We were sad to see him leave without us. The weather was really nice yesterday and today, but it's supposed to be humid and 95 tomorrow and Sunday. We think we made the right decision in staying home with Mama. We wish the weather would have been nicer so that we could have gone though.

Happy Friday everyone!

Too Hot For Camping

Mama and Grandma have decided it's going to be too hot to camp this weekend, so that means we are not going either. Daddy, Grandpa and our skin cousin are going. It's supposed to be 95-97 degrees all weekend. This will be the third weekend in a row for highs in the mid-90's for us and we are tired of it.

Mama said it would be really boring if we camped because Daddy would be off fishing all weekend and it would be too hot for us to do much of anything except stay in the motor home. She also said and maybe I shouldn't repeat this, but I will. She doesn't want to have do all the cooking for the men. She said we will have more fun at home. She has promised us a weekend of movies, pizza bones, lots of cuddles and maybe she will make us a few new collars. We will miss Daddy, but we probably will have more fun staying home this time.

We have another agents' open house tomorrow. That means more cleaning tonight and tomorrow. Mama and Daddy looked at a few homes this weekend. We can't do anything until we sell this one, but Mama has been obsessing over one. They liked it, but the yard is not very nice for us. If it's still available when we sell ours, they may look at it again. Daddy said they could make it work, but Scout wouldn't be able to do zoomies like she does now.

Don't Mess With A Greyhound's Routine!

You would think that after me living here for almost 4 years, Mama would know not to mess with my routine. She proved today that she doesn't. She fed us on time, but didn't take us for our morning walk. She said "it looks like it's going to storm, so we should stay in." Yes, it was as dark as night outside. Scout and I decided she was correct and we tuned into the Today Show. However during People's Court at 9:30, we decided we wanted to go for our walk. We ambushed Mama who was working and she told us we had to wait. "WHAT! WAIT?" How could she say that. We kept pestering her until she got upset with us. We knew even though she was aggravated with us that she couldn't resist us. We kept nudging her and dancing around. She finally got to a stopping point on her work and took us outside. We stayed outside for about 3 minutes and decided it was too hot and there were too many bugs flying around. We came back in and went to bed.

If Mama would have just followed our normal routine, we would have been all snug in bed by 8 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. Hopefully she remembers this tomorrow.
