Busted

Yawn. Stretch. Groan.














Oh, hi. I haven't been able to write much lately because I've been hibernating. Well, not really, because dogs don't truly hibernate, but I have been taking it easy. Unfortunately, this morning The Woman discovered one of my secret napping spots. I'm wearing my gentle leader because we were supposed to be getting ready to go for a walk when I snuck away to snooze.

She took some pictures so you can see too. I don't understand why it's a big deal, all the other creatures sleep up there. Except those little swimming things.

Weird Stuff

Hi, it's me, Scout! I'm back after a long break from writing.

Lots has been going on around here. First the family moved a TREE inside the house. That was weird. Then they put a bunch of lights and hanging things on it. At night it looked like this:














Later, they took the tree back outside and stuck it in the ground. Then Terry, my good friend who drives the Really Big Smelly Truck, came and took it away. Weird again. After it was gone, The Man started doing things in the place where they used to have fires. Here's a picture of that.














Pretty soon I noticed some new creatures living in there. They are orange and black and swim around in a big box of water and plants that The Man put in there. Also weird. At first I was a little bit excited because I thought they might play with me. But they don't even make eye contact.

Does weird stuff like this ever happen where you live?

Scout's a Little Sad Today

Scout's a little sad because she got suspended from her boarding school (actually it's just kind of her overnight babysitter). Apparently being around about 50 other dogs running around and barking stresses her out. When she's excited she barks and chases littler dogs and they don't like it that much.

She's really big so The People at the school have a hard time handling her, especially since the dogs don't wear collars there. And they don't take care of any other Saint Bernards so they aren't really used to it.

She is very exhausted. She has slept THE WHOLE day, except for eating a bowl of food and going outside to go to the bathroom. She's also shedding a lot, another sign that she was pretty anxious at school.

We have some other places in mind for her to stay next time we go out of town. Quieter, more peaceful places.
