Boy - It was COLD swimming out here this week !!! Mom said the temps were down in the 50s & 60s in the mornings and it felt more like fall than summer !! I am not ready for fall - Ruthie and I like swimming to much.
My two legged sister Aunna came over and Mom and Aunna went out on the rowing boats. I wanted to go but Mom said I would probably tip the boat over. Ruthie, Dad and I watched from the beach. When they got back Dad and Mom went out. Ruthie and I played crazy dog on the beach and I jumped off of the boat dock fetching the sticks.
This week Dad finally had his flag pole installed at the lake. He has been waiting since we moved in. Ruthie and I had to watch from the deck at they installed it. Mom said it was really tall and she didn't want it to fall on us. Dad hopes to put the flag up today for the first time. He said Ruthie and I can help. Dad also bought a new car. Ruthie and I only get to look at it in the garage. It is off limits to dogs and puppies. I heard Dad say he spent time at the gas station during the first rain storm we have had in months. It looked like it was snowing outside. Mom said I was a trooper during the thunder storm, hail and wind - Ruthie was a wimp !!
Mom harvested zucchini this week and made zucchini cookies and muffins. It smelled so good in the house. Ruthie and I stayed right under her feet being hopeful - We scored once as a cookie fell on the floor. Mom also made and canned something called pickle relish and the house stunk !! Mom finally got the hint and let Ruthie and I out on the deck.
Mom and Dad spent lots of time outside working on the yard. Sometimes Ruthie and I got to come out and watch/play and other times when we would not listen and would run off we had to watch from the deck however Dad would always spend time with us when they were done. I heard Mom and Dad talking about someone called a contractor coming and doing a bunch of work.
Need to go. We are getting ready for our weekend walk. I sooooooo love going on these with Dad, Ruthie AND Mom !!
