SOLAR POWERED DOG.

     It was another one of those special winter days yesterday.  The temperature was in the twenty's and the wind was gusting enough to make a bitter chill.  I am invigorated by the cold, but my daddies  are not so inclined.  They take me our for the necessary purposes plus to get some exercise but not quite as much as I would like.  I also tag along in the car for errands and even when there are no errands I am taken for rides to dispel the winter cabin fever.
     It is a good time to locate my favorite sunbeam, lie on the bed, and recharge my batteries with some solar power.

LATE SUMMER COMPANY.

     Last summer my Auntie Din came to visit us.  (I think she really comes to see me).  I love her and have know her since I was 4 months old.  She never gets upset with me if I become a little pushy or annoying.  When she arrives I bark and shout and run out to greet her.  She usually hangs her purse around my neck and I carry it into the house for her.  If  Daddy Thom corrects me in front of her I can tell she is displeased.  I think she loves me as much as I love her.

Getting Our Pirate On.

     Last September was another Pirate Festival.  An event that has become quite popular here in Eastport, Maine.  It stated out so small a number of years ago and has grown to one of out major tourist attractions. 
     The entire island supports it.  People go to work in pirate costume.  Age is no barrier.  Adults, teens, babies, seniors and ever pets participate. 
     As you can see by my expression,  I am not 100 % sold on the idea and I am thankful David and Thom do not forced me to "dress-up".  I do like all the people and the crowded festive streets.  Strangely enough I  look forward to the fireworks.  There is something about the noise and all those flashing brilliant colors in the sky!  The big plus is there are bits of dropped and forgotten food here and there in the streets and if I am quick enough and sly enough I manage to partake.

Back To Blogging.

     I cannot believe it has been over a year since I have updated this blog.  Perhaps the answer is in the photo.  Have I been lying about too much?  I should hope not.   I may have become  a bit slower and less multi-task oriented.  After all, I am seven years old now as of last January 30th.
     My only consolation is that Thom has not been keeping his blog up to date either.  Maybe I can be his inspiration.
