Hello from Puppy Dog - Flashing lights

Hello Friends!

Today was a great day!  

First Mama took me for a walk up to the coffee shop, where she met a friend.  A nice man walked by, patted my head, went away and came back with cookies!  He was my new bestestest friend!

Then a big lady hairless ape came long with a very small hairless ape strapped to her chest.  The small hairless ape's feet were hanging down and I had a sniff and a little lick of it's toes.  It's a good thing that dogs and hairless apes are friends, because otherwise that little foot would have made a nice snack!  Mmmmmm...

Then we walked home, said hello to Dada and got back in the car.  Mama drove me to the big park!  I ran and chased the ball and said hello to a tiny 6 month old Dachshund and two massive Burmese Mountain Dogs.  

Then I went for a swim!  It was great!

There were other hairless apes and dogs and lots of tennis balls in the water!  I got a bunch of them - I can get three in my mouth!  I thought I was being really fast and strong and clever but Mama got cross with me.  She took the balls away and threw them to the other dogs.  No fair!  If I can swim faster than them, that's their problem!  Mama can be very weird.

Then we drove home.  Mama was behaving very strangely.  There were lots of moving dens and we weren't going very fast.  

Mama was yelling strange words that I didn't understand.  I thought she said something about "You mustard!" and "Sheet!" but that didn't make sense.  Dada once let me sniff his mustard and it had a very different smell to Mama and Dada's sheets.  

Then Mama turned off the big road and we went faster down some little roads.  Then we went down a hill and a big moving den with pretty flashing lights was behind us.  Mama stopped and a lady came up to her window.  

I didn't know why she was coming up to our moving den so I was barking really loudly.  It didn't make her go away.  I don't know why - call it animal instinct - but I could tell that Mama didn't want the lady to be there.  

The lady said something about "40" and "25" and asked Mama to give her some cards and some paper and then she went away.  Then she came back and said something about "A warning" and gave Mama her stuff back.  I could tell Mama was cross.  She even turned off the music on the radio.

So then we were on our way again... but very slowly.

It took a very long time to get home.  We got back on the main road with the other moving dens.  It was so slow!  Thank God I was still damp from my swim, so I didn't get too hot.  

What a busy day!

Lots of licks and woofs,

Puppy Dog
