Sleeping Upside Down

Hi Friends! A lot has happened since St. Patrick's Day. We celebrated Nichole's birthday last weekend, and went to her parents house for dinner. It must have been a good dinner, because it smelled pretty good to me! There were alot of people there, but I put on my best behavior. Well, for most of the night I did. I went under the table while they ate dinner, and they all had pieces of paper on their laps, right where I could reach them! They called me a napkin stealer, but they were so much fun to rip apart! I didn't want to leave, I had fun and Nana's house; but I was pretty tired and bed sounded good too.

We were out of town last weekend because that nice man I told you about, Ryan's Grandpa, past away. We were in the car for a long time on the way there, so I took a nap. And I'll tell you what, I slept in the funniest position! It was so comfortable and relaxing; right on top of my batman! We were with alot of new people that weekend, Ryan's family. They were all very nice to me, even though I was a little scared at first. Nichole and Ryan were very sad last weekend, so I made sure to give them lots of kisses to make them feel better. There was a person there that Nichole said was her niece, and she was my size! Nichole said she was a baby still, just like me. She seemed to like me alot; and kinda liked her too! Ryan's Grandpa had a big farm, and we got to go hiking out in the cow pasture, down toward the pond. Wow! That was fun, I got to run around off my leash, like I was a wild puppy. It was great, and I really tired myself out. Nichole found a deer shed, and that was really fun to gnaw on, but Ryan and Nichole wouldn't let me chew on it for too long, I guess they wanted to keep it looking nice.

We got back late Saturday night, and slept in really late on Sunday morning. Ryan and Nichole had a relaxing day, and I did too!

On Monday night, Ryan brought some things home from the store. He fired up this thing that has been sitting on the porch all winter. I learned it's called a grill, and that it was a wedding present from Ryan's Grandpa. Ryan got out some meat, and that smelled so good to me. I was kind of naughty and kept putting my front paws up on the counter to get closer to the meat. But, than Ryan reminded me about my bone that I had hidden in the backyard, so I went to chew on that for a while.

Yesterday, Ryan took me for a long walk in the rain, that was kinda fun! I got to get all wet, and shake the water everywhere! It was way more fun than a bath!

Thanks for reading friends! Have a great day!
