Ear Take-off

Humans are really very creative, especially when it comes to inventive things to make our lives fun.  Some of my favorites are the flying squirrel which is a special kind of Frisbee, the ball chucker and, well I suppose any kind of ball, regardless of how it’s thrown is pretty fun.

There is one invention that tops them all and that is the motorized dog carrier without a roof.  I don't think our humans really enjoy riding in it as they cower behind the window at the front.  It's very selfless of them keeping one for our benefit as with such little noses, mouths and ears they obviously can’t fully appreciate all the wonderful smells or the euphoric sensation of achieving full jowl and ear take-off.

Levitation

Tobermory is getting really quite good at his security duties.  He spends a lot of time on the viewing platform on the stairs in our kennel.  He’s very enthusiastic but still has to learn what a real threat is as his warning barks are a little too frequent.  On the positive side, this is giving me more time to spend on the writing box furthering my human studies.

I recently learnt about an art practiced by humans called levitation.  This is when something with no legs stands up.  Some think that if they stare at the thing long enough, their brain will make it levitate.

Every year our humans go to a falling over juice kennel called Schug in Sonoma to eat strange red fish that are cooked in a big pot with lots of vegetables and sausages.  I tried a bit of one last year.  It tasted pretty good but when there are plenty of good fishes with soft skins it seems like the humans go to a ridiculous amount of effort to get the skins off these ones.  We couldn’t even eat the skins when they were finished with them.

I am pleased to say that there was quite a lot of bread.  It sat on the end of the table so I told Tobermory to help me try out levitation to get the bread off the table and jump into our mouths.  You know, if you stare at bread for long enough, it actually works?  Daddy did help it, but I didn’t see anything in the levitation instructions that said you can’t use your brain to make a human move bread to where you want it to be.

Cows with Long Fur

I like cows.  I’ve never met one but they look really friendly on the writing box.  There are supposed to be a lot of them in Sonoma so when we were last there I tried really hard to find one to bring home but I think they must have all been hiding.

Our humans have just returned from chasing the evil black boxes with wheels.   Mummy always takes a lot of pictures so that we can see where they’ve been.  They met lots of cows and it would appear that they come in different shapes and sizes.

The first pictures were of the land where there are funny little plants with 3 leaves and the humans are very small and wear green.  The cows there look pretty much the same as the ones I’ve seen pictures of in Sonoma, however in the land where male humans wear skirts they look completely different.  They have really long fur and the big cows don’t seem to have any eyes.  I really like the little ones.  I couldn’t see from the picture of one what the price tag in its ear said, but it must have been really expensive or I’m sure Mummy would have brought it back to our kennel for me.
