My Peaceful Protest

I was not happy that Dad left us to attend a business meeting in Washington DC.  I looked for him each night and was hopeful every time that I saw a Jeep.  It didn't matter that our Jeep was parked right outside the RV.

Dad finally arrived home Thursday night.  I decided I would show him I was not happy with him by staging a peaceful protest.  When he came in, I went to my food bowl and ignored him.  Ha!  Mama went outside to get something out of the car and that scared me because I thought she was leaving and that could destroy my protest plans.  She came in and I greeted her like she had been gone a week.  Yep, I showed Dad that he was missing out on my loving.  The next morning, Dad left for work and I didn't say good-bye.  Nope.  We were outside when he came home talking to the neighbors.  I watched him drive down the street and park the Jeep.  He got out and came over to talk to the neighbors.  Do you know what I did?  I turned completely around and wouldn't look at him.  Yep, all he saw was my butt.  BOL!  The neighbors roared with laughter.  The next morning, word has spread throughout the campground about my peaceful protest.  Everyone was asking if I had made up with Dad.  Mama told them that no, I had not and Dad said I was being immature and needed to grow up.  Seriously?  Later in the day, we all went for a walk and Mama handed Dad my leash.  We decided to call a truce at that point.   I think my peaceful protest was a success.  BOL!

Buddy Has A Trunk

Decal is from Skinny Hounds Designs

He looks pretty sharp with his greyhound decals.  The decal was in our goodie bag at Heart of America.  It was made by Greyt Glass.

Buddy went to Pizza Hut today.  He is so lucky!

The Greyhound Who Is Happy That Joey's Rein As Man Of The RV Is Almost Over

Jack's Half-Sister Is At The Bridge :-(

As you may have figured out, we don't have a set plan for our blog. If there is nothing going on, we just don't blog.  This morning, we were discussing the blog over breakfast and decided there wasn't much to say.  We considered mentioning the death of Robin Williams and how sad Mama is over it.  She thinks it may bring a new light to the subject of depression.  She said he fought his demons for years and they finally won.  It is sad.

We also thought about telling you how I am the man of the house this week because Dad is in DC for meetings.  We decided that wasn't very interesting. 

It was 97 here yesterday.  It was hot, but that is not interesting.

Then we received an email and that caused us to blog. We received an email from Wanda's family.  Wanda is Jack's half-sister.  They let us know that Wanda and Jack are now together.  Yes, Wanda has died.  She was almost 12 and the best girl according to her family.  Her family is heartbroken.  Wanda's family reads our blog and sent Mama lots of support when Jack died. Mama always felt a connection to her because of Jack.  We are very sad to hear that Wanda is now at the Rainbow Bridge and we are sending her family lots of hugs and puppy kisses. She is no longer is pain and she is running like the wind.  Mama said that Jack is probably playing tour guide to his big sister.  RIP Wanda aka Quirky Wanda.

"Mom"

"Hey, Mom"

"Mooooom"

Scout says "Look into my eyes."

"I want a treat. Can't you tell?"

"It's time to get wild!"

"It worked!  She's laughing and getting up to get us a treat. We really had to work for it today!"
