We're Back - Dozer's Notes

While I am glad to be back, it was horrifying to find out that Mum was seeing "others" while she was away. And they aren't even of our species! Mum swears this is just a metal turtle at a park (yeah, like I just fell of the turnip truck) and they were just "friends". How dumb do I look? She's covering its eyes up - just like those black squares censors put over folks when they want to hide identities. And Mr. Turtle looks pretty darn happy if you ask me. Fortunately Dad picked us up from The Farm - where it was one long party for three days! We had a ball and Dottie got into party mode like a pro. When it was time to leave she wasn't so sure that she wanted to come. Dad told Mum that Dottie wasn't exactly running for the door when he arrived - she was checking out McDuff the Scottie Dog who lives in the front office most of the time. Apparently little Miss Dottie had a small crush on you-know-who!
Try as we did, the ladies at The Farm decided baths and nail trims were the order of the day and then they topped it off with scarves around our necks. Even Cooper was slightly embarrassed (I was simply appalled - we're guys after all, we don't wear neck ornamentation. How hard is this to understand ladies?) Anyway, Dottie apparently looked "absolutely adorable" according to Mum who went just a little crazy when she got home. There was the usual round of kisses, hugs, rolling on the floor, little squeals of delight, and general greetings and that was just Cooper !
Dottie went a little overboard - like Coop - and did a major roach on the living room floor. Like I have said before, there are piggies on farms and there is Dottie in our house. Honestly, if she had cloven hooves, you would never know the difference.
Cooper decided Dad making spaghetti was the place to camp out. It wasn't like we didn't get good food, it was all great. But Dad's spaghetti is world famous (thanks to the Ragu folks who put that red stuff in the glass jar).
I thought I would leave you with my tres chic visage (that means good looking face - I learned it from a French poodle at The Farm). We are home! Hooray!

Food, Glorious Food!

Sparky sent us fish and chips all the way from British Columbia! We were so excited when they arrived that we chewed up the container! Thanks Sparky! Finally a meal I can sink my teeth into...definitely need to visit Canada in the future.

Mum and Dad are taking us camping this weekend and we are going to be by the McKenzie River. It is about 3 hours from our house and we will leave once Mummy gets home from work. There are lots of waterfalls, whitewater rafting and fish! There is also a neat covered bridge that was built in 1938. I am pretty sure we are not whitewater rafting but I am hoping that we will be fishing for salmon or whatever swims in the river.

This will be the first time all five us have gone camping in our 17 foot trailer. We will take the minivan and Mum says that is where we dogs are going to have a slumber party. We are not supposed to bark or Mummy will get cranky. Coop and I will be quiet but Dottie "talks" whenever she feels like it. We may end up sleeping in the trailer with Mum and Dad. Last time Coop and I slept with Mom on her bed. Mum did not get much sleep but we had a ball! BOL!

We will report back to you on Sunday when we return. We will have cell phones and our computer so if we can get wi-fi, Mum will upload videos of us.

Get the leashes! We're ready to roll!
