new girlfriend and fall days

the dad has found another girlfriend. this one visited me a few days ago. he spends lots of days away, and he comes back several times. he's even missed our bark park walks. today we went to the bark park, but part of it is blocked off. the dad says to add a wheelchair path. I guess so, if he says so. there is a new puppy next door. stupid little white dog, not a very good guard dog, it's trying to sound mean, but it's not in his puppy ways. the cats are doing ok, Worf stays in lots. balls fly over the yard and sometimes the dad tossed them back. the weeds are big, if the dad stay here instead of away maybe the yard wouldn't have weeds. he still provides meaty bones, when he's here, and lets me stay in more often now winter is coming on. he had another garden blog, but gave up on that. he's not much gardening still the mom went to the rainbow bridge. maybe next year, he said his tomatoes did nothing, the other stuff did nothing but he had a good crop of squash bugs. I don't think he will raise that stupid plant again. well if anyone is still out there. I'm letting you all know that I think the dad has found another GF, so far this is his longest. maybe she'll stay here and pet me, the dad says when he cleans up more. bark later

June days

it's getting pretty hot here, 100 deg this weekend, the dad is doing more gardening this year and I'm still helping him. he's giving me lots of head rubs always now and we bark park every Sunday. the last time we went late and I convinced him 2 laps instead of out normal 3 in this hotness was plenty. he thought about it and agreed. maybe there is hope for this person. the meatly bones are pretty small this week, I hope he gets bigger ones next time. but I accept them and eat them. One of the cats sniff at tit and I went berserk well the cat backed off. the dad says I should be so aggressive about food, but darn it it's mine, and maybe the cat food is mine too when no one is looking. the dad caought me once, so he knows I do it, but I'm careful. the dad is still dating, but I think he's given up, he goes out less and agonizes less. Worf is getting old, he stays pretty quiet, he's older than I am and I'm 9 years here, the dad says he showed up as a little kitten when the Mom and Dad moved in.

well I'm off to bed, the dad fixed my daytime cool spot, but it wasn't planned to make it wetter, but i think it will help.

long dry spell

for those still watching, the dad finally got back online. I convinced him the older picture needed updating so I stood long enough for a picture, he took some goofy ones. not much this winter going on here, hail this week, it looked like snow bit sure didn't feel like snow. I on;y consented to this picture, 'cause I was playing around and the dad said it was the only way to get me not blurred, that and that cookie that's out of frame, the dad is still dating. one lady was over for awhile but then she quit coming around, the dad wasn't too upset, I kinda missed the extra rubs, but she only was here a little. even Neryris let her rub her. I liked her, she gave good rub, although the dad said I got better then he did. I'd never ever dogged dreamed of that. after a vet visit the vet said I was getting old, sure some aches, and after a few laps at the bark park, I let the dad know it's time to rest up. he now sprinkles on some white stuff in my food for my aches, the dog doctor said it was ok. he think's he hides it, but I can tell, at first I ate around it, now I don't. well I'm off the bed, the dad too. I'll try to get him to write more, but he still gets sad sometimes about the mom, not so much anymore, me too, I miss following her at the bark park, I ran to one person , but it wasn't her, so I came back to dad. he saw me approach her like I did with the mom, well maybe some day I'll find her.
