Updating

Ahem, well,  I didn't mean to let my blog go for so long!   But to be fair to myself I do need some help with it.  I can't type after all and mom said she'd work with me.  So lets blame her.  Works for me!   Seriously she's a pretty busy lady,  I don't know how she does it.  First of all she takes care of Dad-he doesn't know where anything is or how to cook anything, really!  He needs a lot of help.  Middle Boy, my main man,  now he can cook for himself - well, freezer to oven anyway-and he's pretty tidy.   Little Boy is like Dad and needs a lot of help too and supervision.    Lincoln, Dot and Moose, the rest of our fur family all need to be fed, Lincoln and I need our walks and the occasional trip to the dog park.   Dot and Moose are pretty self sufficient, they're Cats after all, but they do need some attention too.  And someone has to get up in middle of the night and let them in or out, whichever.
Dot

Moosey-Moo!

 Dot is a pretty spoiled guy too.   If he gets hungry in the middle of the night he lets everyone know about it!  Mom or Dad will get up and open a can of cat food for him.   If they forget to take the fork and chop up his food and just leave it in the "can" shape Dot will follow them back to the room and let them know.   Loudly.  Loudly enough to wake up the whole house if they don't pay attention.   Funny cat.   He thinks he's in charge of everything.   I think he might be  I mean if he can make someone get out of bed to cut up his food or turn the light on for him.   That's right, sometimes he prefers the light on while he eats, sometimes he doesn't.  But he'll let you know.


  Lincoln goes to the dog spa every few weeks because he has long hair.   I got to go once but my hair is pretty short and I'm not too hard to take care of at home.   I liked it okay, it was kind of fun.  But I really don't like getting wet too much.   Getting blowdryed was interesting and I like being brushed.


In the last few months I got to go camping for the very first time!  Boy was that fun!  So many new and interesting sounds and smells.  Lincoln got to go too.  The cats didn't go because......well I don't know why but they didn't.   We got to sleep in the tent.  I slept with Middle Boy and his friend  and Lincoln slept with mom.


We barked a lot, people kept walking by our camp and we wanted to say hello!  There was quite  few other dogs too but not too much visiting as everyone had to stay on a leash.   The camp right next to us had 3 dogs and one of them got off the leash and came over to our camp and pooped!  Mom didn't like that too much and made their dad come over and pick it up.   She's pretty serious about people picking up their dogs poop!!   But she always picks up ours, one time she forgot a poop bag on a nighttime walk and she ran all the way home to get a bag and ran all the way back even though no one would have known it was us since it was dark.  She said it was the right thing to do : )   I'm hoping to go camping again real soon, it was alot of fun!  Well summer is here and there will be a lot more dog park, walks and fun excursions.   I'll be sure and write about it here!
