IT'S WHAT TERRIERS DO

Duke stayed out all night last night. 

This morning he met us at the back door

 with a look of sheer joy on his face. 

And some twigs in his beard.

Naturally, we had to find out where 

he had been digging for hours and hours and hours. Maggie found it first.

She decided to enter the hole. No worries, 

it's big enough to hold TWO hooligans.

See how hard Duke worked all night?

Can you imagine how much fun we're

going to have getting him clean?

IF we can ever get him to leave the hole, that is.

He's back in the thickets now, 

digging and digging and digging.

Can you see him?

We just hope the gopher tortoise

who lives in the hole in the thickets manages

to get away during the daylight hours today.

Otherwise, tonight is going to be real exciting.

AAARRROOOOOOO! 

Sissy is at THE VET today!

Sissy has an ouchie: an abcessed tooth. She is at the vet's office today and Dad will pick her up in a little while. The office closes at noon on Wednesdays and Dad doesn't get off work until 4:30 today, but it's okay.You know you live in a small town when the vet calls your Dad and says, "Sissy will be outside in a locked kennel. I will leave the key to the kennel and a bottle of antibiotics under the mop bucket at the back door."

I GO TO THE OFFICE WITH MOM

Mom woke me up this morning and said we were going to have some fun today. We got in the car and zoomed away while Maggie howled and the other Hooligans tried to ignore her. When Mom turned the car onto Business Park Drive, I sat straight up because I knew where we were! We were going to work!

When we got there, I sniffed around and decided to lie down in the middle of the doorway to Mom's office. It seemed like a good place to be; I could see people coming from all directions and alert Mom to them.

But then I met Miss Paula and she said if I was gonna be at work today,

I needed to work today. Huh?

So she showed me the copy machine and the desk

where she wanted me to spend the day.

To which I replied, "NOT THIS BROWN DOG!"

"I'm gonna work the way Mom does!"

Got my coca cola, got my smart phone. That's all the work I'm gonna do today.

AAARRROOOOOOOO!
