Bestest day EVER!

Yesterday I had the bestest day ever. First a whole bunch of people came over to the house, and I knew most of them but not all of them, and then my people put me in the car (although I like the new car harness even less than I liked the old one) and my friend with the curly hair came in the car too, and then we weren’t in the car for very long at all and then we all (everyone who had been at the house) got to go hiking! Like in the woods! For hours! And there were trees, and plants, and streams, and birds, and butterflies, and dragonflies, and other bugs,… and also lots of people who thought I was very good (the ones who I met right after I first went to live with my people, kept saying they couldn’t believe how well-behaved I’ve gotten, I think I should be insulted! but I only went crazy once, when some people went by with three big dogs in one direction and some other people went by with another dog at the same time in the other direction, I think that’s justified don’t you?,… and then later someone went by with two herding dogs like me and I totally ignored them just like Tug told me to)… also my people kept giving me these chewy meat things that tasted really good. I heard Tug tell someone that they were “a PowerBar for dogs” but I don’t know what that means.

I slept the whole rest of the day afterwards.

No-Work Day!

Today was a no-work day for my people, so they got up and walked me in the morning. It’s getting to be nice and sunny, but was still pretty cool. I wore my backpack:

I don’t like it when they first put the backpack on me, but I sort of like wearing it. It makes me feel important. Tug says I concentrate better when I’m wearing it. (He also says it’s nice that it tires me out.) My people put bottles of water in my backpack, and then they drink some and give me some so the backpack gets lighter as we go. We went to the place with the prairie dogs. Tug said it was a good thing I had my flea and tick medication last week, because I like to see if I can find one!

There were some that were out and squeaking. My person tried to take a picture, but it ducked just as she took it.
