Weekend Away







Mom and I spent the weekend with Boggs and Uncle Adam. I had a lot of fun visiting with them. Mom and Grandma Denise took me on an evening walk my first night to a special path near the creeks. It was so much fun to discover this new area. I didn't see any coyotes, but I did roast at a golden retriever who was on a walk.

On Saturday morning, Mom and I went for a walk to the park and through the green belt. When we got back to the house, Grandpa Bill was roasting because Boggs had scared a Mama duck and her 7 little baby ducklings. The babies ran under the deck beneath the spa and were trapped. Grandpa Bill and Uncle Adam spent the next hour and a half trying to rescue the babies. They were crying so loud. The Mama duck panicked and would not stop quacking. She flew all over the backyard and left to try and get help. Boggs and I stood very attentively in the window and watched. We really wanted to go outside, but Mom wouldn't let us. She said the babies were really scared and it needed to be quiet, so they would come out. While this was going on, the neighbor's turtle came by for a visit. I guess he escaped and Grandpa Bill had to return him to his house. He was a small little guy and could have easily gotten run over by a car! The babies eventually escaped from under the deck and the Mama duck came back for them. After swimming in the spa for awhile, they began their walk home.

I didn't see bunny this time, so I was a little disappointed, but, I made sure to leave a special treat in the backyard. When no one was looking, I took a large bite of my wet food and buried it in the backyard. I filled the hole and smoothed it out so Grandpa Bill wouldn't roast at me. He doesn't like it when I dig in his backyard.

I am happy to be back at home and in my favorite chair. Unfortunately, the heat wave is back, so I haven't been able to go to the beach. I think we are going tomorrow for Mom's birthday. I can't wait!

Here are some pictures from my weekend with Boggs. Enjoy!
