Sometimes Brothers Get In The Way!

"OK Mom, just throw the ball."
Please, please, please don't let Stanley get it.  He makes fetching so difficult! 
"Bug off Stanley, I just wanna fetch the ball!"
"Stanley and his big lard butt always steals the ball right from my mouth!"
"Give it back Stanley, I need to bring it back to mom!"
"Why do you always make things so difficult!"
"I guess you just don't understand the fundamentals of playing fetch!"
"Quit messing around, I gotta retrieve that ball!"
"Here I come mom!"
"Whew, that was a lot of work!"

Left At Home

The rain came back during the night time.  This morning it was raining a bit too.  But today is Monday so our pawrents go for their long run, even if there are rain clouds!

This is mom at about Mile 3 - still a long way to go!
The clouds covered the mountain top.
Dad got thirsty and had to refill his water bottle.  They call this a "pit stop".
When they finished 13 (mom)/15 (dad) miles later, there were pockets of blue sky.
Stanley really wanted to go with our pawrents but they said it was too far for us.  So he was bored.
Actually I was bored too.  If they weren't such good pawrents I don't think we could put up with them running without us.  I guess mom is probably right, that is a long way for little ol' me to run.

Little Walkie

Today it rained like crazy.  It never rains like crazy here!  Finally the rain clouds went away.

Blue sky coming our way!
So we decided to take a little walkie around our neighborhood.  Not too far since we ran 6 miles yesterday.

Our neighborhood (arrow pointing to our house)
"Hey Dad, what is that?"
"I see it too Murphy!"
Do you see it, standing on the rock?


 At first we thought it was a squirrel but then dad said it was a prairie dog. What do you think?

Status of Painting:  There is only 1 more room to go.  It is the office but mom said it might take a week or two before she starts it.  She called it an electronic nightmare.  Then she needs to do some closets but she said that it may be a long time before she starts them.

Stopping For A Sip On Our Run

 Since it's Friday that means we get to go for a run with our pawrents!
It was MUCH cooler today, and overcast.  Pawfect for running but I still got thirsty.  Mom taught me how to drink out of water fountains. 
Stanley said he wasn't thirsty, he just wanted to rinse off his paws.
Then he changed his mind and decided he better take a sip.
Then we were off again!
We're getting really good at our 6 milers!
I know the route so well now I can even do it with my eyes closed!
OK, I was just teasing.  If I really ran with my eyes closed I'd run into a tree or something BOL!

Have a fun weekend ever'body!

Treasure Hunt

The last few days me and Murphy have been isolated from our pawrents while Mom painted.  Today we were isolated outside and Murphy decided to dig in the hill to see what he could find.




I kept a look out in case he found something valuable.  Dad is always talking about how Indian spirits are attacking our electrical things.  I thought maybe there might something valuable that Murphy would dig up.


I thought he had found something.


 After all of Murphy's hard digging all we had was an empty hole.
