Still at Work


The time has been flying by and my person has been too busy working to help me with this account. I finally pressed my nose into her leg so hard she got the picture. And I have a picture for you too. Look at what I have to live with! As you can see, it is the silly season in the cat realm. But it always is, from what I have observed.

While those good-for-nothing fur machines have been snoozing I have been hard at work myself. I got my Person through election season by walking her twice a day to calm her down and letting her run around at my favorite haunt, the river bank. I paid a week-long visit to my other human family where my cousins live and I admit I drove them a bit crazy by trying to rearrange the pecking order and to rid their neighborhood of other dogs, mail carriers and squirrels. I applied for an acting job and though I sat on the interviewer's foot and shed on his pant leg I didn't get the position - can you believe it??? What does it take?? And I have had my usual chores around the home.

So it has been a busy time.

This morning was no exception. I cleared the squirrels from my rainy yard and trotted to the river. The beaver have been busy and have chewed off many saplings. I played for a while with a stick a kindly beaver chewed to the perfect dog-toy length and then thoughtfully removed the bark. Then I chased a bald eagle but he ignored me. The good news is he didn't try to eat me. But I look more like a jawbreaker of a little red treat than a gummy bear. If someone wants to have me for a snack, they have their work cut out for them!
