Hepdeedoodee!  The R-Dog here!

Lots of pictures this time, so read slow!

I'm SO confused.  My life is upside down.  EVERYTHING is upside down.  Leaves, for instance.  They belong up, up in the sky.  But they've come crashing down all over everywhere.  And water - it's supposed to come squirting up out of the ground every few days, right?  Well, it's all coming down now, all the time.  It's falling out of the sky!  Dirt.  It's supposed to be on the ground.  Now it gets mixed up with the water that's falling out of the sky and sticks to my feet.  My nice blue ball?  It's now a mud ball.  I CAN'T STAND IT!

I've been really busy lately.  I have so much to do I just can't sit in my run all day and wait for my people to come home from work and let me out.  Like, how tough is chain link, anyway?  Piece of cake.  I just, uh, I mean BatDog, yeah, that's the ticket, BatDog chewed a hole in the fence for me!  He can be a real pal sometimes!  Anyway, he chewed a hole in the fence for me so I could be about my business of maintaining the yard.  This was great until the pet people discovered it and had a fit.  Oh, well...  Plan B I guess.

I love to experience various sensations.  I guess you could say I'm a sensational dog.  But that's another story entirely.  My latest thing is the feeling of fuzz on my tongue.  You know the big sheets of lint that come out of the trap in the dryer?  They don't have much taste, but they're light and fluffy and just sort of melt in your mouth.  Apparently people like these too, because they keep a small plastic can in the utility bathroom that usually has one or two sheets of the stuff in it.  And they're incredibly protective of it.  If they catch me with even the tiniest piece in my mouth they chase me down, pry my mouth open and take it away.  They're terribly rude about it.  So, I have to sneak in, in the dark, and eat the stuff where they can't see me.  It's such a treat!

I've spent a lot of time with Lindsey lately.  And I tried to be as sympathetic as I could about Chantel's broken toe, but she didn't want any part of my licking it.  I don't understand.  I like hanging out with people.  If they move around too much, I just sit on their feet.  When they finally do settle down I lay down across their feet and chew on my many chew toys.  Then when they're not paying any attention I dash off to the bathroom for another wad of dryer lint.  mmmm...

Well, that's about it for this session.  My people are talking about holidays.  I wonder what they are.  I'm sure I'll find out...

Everything is upside down...
Protective coloration!  I can hide in plain site!

 BAT DOG did it. I swear...
 What, you think it was me?  Look in these big
brown eyes and say that again...
 WHO?
 Have I mentioned, I'm quick?


 
me-n-my mud ball.
This is about as relaxed as I get...

 
I love books.  (They taste real good!)

Some of these images were captured from video using Snappy!
