Digging

Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to dig holes in the back yard, but I did it anyway. Mom has probably told me 15,000 times to stop digging holes in the yard, but I just couldn't help it this time. There was something in the ground I just knew I had to see. Besides, Mom shouldn't have left me unattended in the back yard. She wasn't watching so I just dug and dug to my heart's content. Well, then she and Dad caught me and that put an end to all my fun. I never did find what I was looking for in that hole. :( And it got even worse when Dad washed me off with the hose. It was almost like getting a bath...which I hate! I guess that's what I get for not listening to Mom. But at least it was fun while it lasted.

Spring is almost here!

It's that time of year again. The weather outside is starting to get a bit warmer and I know what that means; playtime for Riley and me. Mom and Dad sure have been nice to let us play outside the past few days. They even threw the ball for me for a really long time. The past few months they haven't wanted to play outside much. They just stand on the deck, wrapped in their coats yelling at us to hurry and come back inside. No time for us to play. They act like it was cold or something. Another thing I love about this time of year is walks! I heard Mom say the other day that we could start taking our long walks around the neighborhood again soon. I got so excited because walks are some of my favorite things. I need to catch up with all the other dogs around the neighborhood. I'm so glad it's finally almost Spring. I can't wait to roll in the green grass, play fetch for hours in the back yard, and drink water right from the water hose. It's my favorite time of year!
