SNOW! 

Or, To Quote Bambi, "What's All That White Stuff?"

So, I head out this morning for my daily constitutional and it's raining. Daddy doesn't even come out with me anymore for this early trip. He says he trusts me, what ever that means. I don't like the rain that much, although sometimes I get a good towel back rub out of it. Yes. That's always nice.

But, the next trip out was wild! MommaBear called it "snow". White, wet stuff falling on me, but it was different than rain. And it's all over the ground. MommaBear made balls of it and threw them for me to catch, but every time I ran for one, I couldn't find it after it landed. Weird, huh? Well, a couple times I did get it, but when I picked it up in my mouth, it just sort of fell apart. But it was fun, just the same.

I wanted to stay out and keep playing but MommaBear said her toes were cold. My toes weren't cold. Daddy took me out to play later for a while, but I could have stayed out even longer!

And to think, yesterday I took a dip in the pool!!

Special Visitor!

 

My Very Favorite Uncle Alex came to visit me!!! 

Such a great evening! He used to be here all the time but now goes to some place they call "College", whatever that is. All I know is that I hardly ever get to see him and I miss him. But, today, he came and even played ball with me outside. He taught me a new ball game.. instead of chasing just one ball, he let me chase two of them! They are small enough that I can carry both of them in my mouth at the same time, but sometimes it's hard to drop them for him. We played a long, long time! It was tons of fun. I miss you, Uncle Alex.

Play Time! My Favorite Time of Day!

I'm almost 8 months old already. Where has the time gone? I love it here at my home. It's so comfy and I have lots of spots to nap and toys strategically placed all over the house for when I decide I want to play.

The guy on the bed with me is my friend, "Ducky". He's really a dinosaur but he "honks" when you play with him so MommaBear and Uncle Alex nicknamed him Ducky. He sounds a lot like the big birdies that fly over our house sometimes. I wish they would come and play with me! Ducky never flies away so we play a lot.

I used to have another fuzzy friend named "Peggy" but I haven't seen him in a while. He's a baby dinosaur, and Uncle Alex thought he looked more like a Pegasus, so that's how he got his name. MommaBear said I was too rough with him and ate part of his nose so he is up on something she calls a sewing pile. She said he will need stitches like Ducky has on his head. Ducky and I miss Peggy. Hopefully he will be able to play soon! (Besides, it wasn't his nose... but some funny bump on his face.)

I also love to play outside, especially lately since it has been cooler out. I like to run around in my yard and tease MommaBear with my toys. She got me some new balls today and I can't wait any longer to go out and play with them. I don't care if it IS raining!! I'm a Labrador, after all. I love water!
