Nervous...

Dear Sidekick,

What is Sidekick doing?  Why for is there a large wood filled pen in the living room?  Taking up all the spaces?  Self is feeling very nervous...

That is all.

Love,
Self

A big visitor

Sidekick comes up to self one morning and says, a big will be visiting today?  Oh no.  A big?  A big what?  Am so most nervous.  Self spends all the morning pacing back and forth.

Will it be a Halo?  The big Great Dane?  Will it be a giraffe?  (Self knows not exactly what a giraffe is, only that it is a big thing)

Then, it arrives.  What?!

This is not a big, but a tiny!!!

Oh.  Is not a big, but a Biggs.  Chihuahua, name of Biggs.  Here is the story of Biggs.

Once upon a time, there is a family that is Friend of Sidekick.  Many year ago, they have a dog who was most best friends with Sister Cookie, before Self was around.  But this dog get old, and have to go to Rainbow Bridge.

Next the Spy Cat, of which belonged to Friend of Sidekick, also went away to Rainbow Bridge.  Friend of Sidekick was so most sad, for both the dog and the evil spy cat were often good company.  But now, Friend of Sidekick live in house with most small yard, and are not home for all the day, and did not feel good about getting another good company pet.

First, was Spy Cat, AKA Deaf Cat, to come along.  When Clarissa needed a new home, Sidekick thought, so most perfect!  Should be giving cat to Friend of Sidekick to foster, and then Friend of Sidekick will fall in love, and Cat and Friend will live happily ever after.

Unfortunately, was not so.  For many reasons.  Firstly, one of Friend of Sidekick not so much fan of Cats (Self thinks, this man so most smart).  But mostly, Spy Cat was too smart and integrated self with Sidekick and now will never leave.  NEVER. *Sigh*

Then, one day, at shelter nearby, was shelter to take 50 dogs from one house.  Was so most awful!  Least of all because the nice dogs who lived at the shelter had to go away to make space for the 50 new dogs.  So 4 came to the local shelter, where Sidekick works.  One of these was this Tiny Dog.  Now, Sidekick often say, Chihuahuas not always most best.  But this dog, he most best.  He silly and not too loud, and not very big!  Sidekick tell Friend of Sidekick, please to be coming to meet this dog!

And the rest, as they say, is his story.  Of course, smart man who hates cats decided to name him Biggs.

 Biggs so most curious of Penny

Sidekick say to Friend of Sidekick, is ok to sometimes leave dog alone many hours!  Sidekick does so to Self!  Is not ideal, but is better than many places.  Is better than shelter.  And sometimes will Sidekick let Biggs come to say hello at house of Self!

Self can see, Biggs is already making self at home.  Self guesses, maybe it will be okay the next day that there is a Biggs visitor.

Self learns a special trick

All the water for all the always!!!

Cattle Dog at Cattle Ranch: the Search for the Missing Cattle

All the while that Sidekick has been away, Evil Stepmummy has taken self to do the most interesting things.  One day she get up and say, "Ok, Cattle Dog!  Is time to go to Cattle Ranch!"  YAY!!!!  Sounds like so the most fun!

 

Got in the car with some kibbles, and some waters, and some crate, and some leash, and drove and drove and drove.  Finally, self and Evil Stepmummy were there!

 

 All Cattle Ranches have the red dirt.

 

 

Ohboyohboyohboy.  Self was so the most excited for to see the cattle, and leaped out of the car.  For to go searching time!  But... where are the cattle?  Self will search under this tree.

 



 Searching... searching...

 

 

Self has found a stick!  The most best stick!  But no cattle... and so the search continues.  Cows, why for to be not hitting self in the head with the most best high?

 



 This stick is so most unique

 

Am searching for the cattle all the day.  Run one way, and run the other way.  Then back the first way, for perhaps the cattles have arrived.  All of this, and with carrying the most unique stick which will help self find the cattles, makes self so most tired.  Is time for a break.

 

 Will find the shadiest spot

Will even sit by crate, for extra comfort

 

 

After the break was time to search and search and search again.  Cattles here?  No.  Cattles here?  No.  Cattles here?  No, but here is an Evil Stepmummy!

 



Evil Stepmummy sits self down.  "Mr. Squiggles," she say.  "Are for to be cattles here no longer!  Is a cattle ranch, but is no cattle!  Have been no cattles for many years now!  Am sorry that most best cattle dog could never meet the cattles."

Evil Stepmummy should have told this to self before.  When can self meet some cattles?

Evil Stepmummy Stays for Always!

In this week, Sidekick went far, far away.  Self asked, please to be taking with!  But Sidekick said, no.  Said, is time for she to go and spend all the time with many teenage people in Denver.

 

Truly was THE LEAST FAIR.  But then!  Then Evil Stepmummy come in the door with so most bags.  Hello, hello, she say!  Hello, hello, self says!  Evil Stepmummy will keep all the companies while Sidekick is away!

 

Much time, especially much morning time, was to be had outside, and playing with the ball, and playing with the stick, and playing with the water.

 

 Self chases the Kong for all the days!

 

 

Also was for to play with Tiffany friend, who gave so most love to Penny and so very little love to self.

 



 Love for self!

 

 These two are most best friends

 

 

Evil Stepmummy gave all the snuggles and all the scritches and all the squiggles.

 



 Eyes most closed with the enjoyment

 

 So much snuggly, that must rest and recharge in the shade.

 Self thinks self is people!

 

 

Fetch time was also known as dust time, and must be followed up with all the water games.

 



 Evil Stepmummy, that love is only for the self, and not for the Penny!

 

 Something is there!!

 

...Maybe, would be most ok if Sidekick goes away again, and Evil Stepmummy comes to spend all the time, with hiking and running and walks!

The water time of year

After the unexpected adventure to new house at the beginning of year, was starting to wonder, would water be in this place too?  Answer:  so most yes!!

But a worst thing.  All the waters go into the garden of Sidekick.  And no waters go into mouth of self.  Oh please, oh please to be hosing self with all the water?
