I have a new cousin Julius!

Okay, I admit it. I'm a cat person. My Mom had 12 cats when she got me and I was raised by them. So, when I saw these pics of my new cousin Julius on my cousin Kara's Facebook page, and she's looking for a babysitter while she goes camping, I asked if I could babysit. Mom reminded me that Kara (and Julius) live in Colorado. So I guess it's out of the picture. But hey, what a cutie, eh?

Yippee - I'm going to Florida!

I'm wearing my camping shirt (it glows in the dark) this morning because I'm so excited about a camping trip my mom planned yesterday! We're driving down to Raleigh first to spend Christmas with Aunt DeeAnn and Uncle Don (and cousins Hannah and Emma), then we drive down to Savannah and camp for 2 days there and then THEN we head down to St. Augustine, FL to spend 3 days. Steve and Jenna from Ashville, NC will be there, Uncle Gary who lives in St. Augustine will be visiting, and I GET TO MEET MY BUDDY HARTMAN! Yes, Uncle Alex and Aunt Marlene will come up from Weeki Wachi with Hartman to visit. Now if Uncle Dom and Uncle Ray and my buddy Marlee could drive up too, it would be perfect.

Enough Already!

It was bad enough my mom made me share my new camp chair, but she's making me share my cool car seat with Sophie too! I'm so glad grandpa and grandma will be home from Georgia tomorrow and Sophie will go home! I love Sophie, but I like being an only dog better!

At least mom didn't make me share my robe!

New (OLD) Camp Chair

My mom went to her first Tin Can Tourist Rally - the 12th annual spring fling, last weekend. She didn't take me because she didn't know what to expect. She said it was really cool though and I get to go next year and take my Scotty too! While she was there she saw lots and lots of really cool old trailers and some really cool old camp chairs. She found one for me on Ebay. I LOVE it. I hope though that I don't have to share it with anyone. But my good Ovenette cooking buddy Marlee can come and sit with me at the big Rally in Slippery Rock, PA in July!

Aunt Lin and my cousins came over

Aunt Lin is living back in Delton now and so are my cousins Circe, Paris and Caesar. Today they came down to run at our house. We went out on the bogwalk too. We had over 4" of rain the past week or so and it is way way under water. I even fell off into the swamp because I was walking too close to my mom and couldn't see the walk. We had lots of fun playing together. Caesar is a swamp rat - he loves running in the swamp and got all mucky so Aunt Lin had to hose him off before he could get back in her car. Paris is funny, he likes to drink from the hose. Aunt Lin said he taught himself how to do that. Brrrrrrr, not for me. I'll drink out of a dish, thank you very much!

A Butterfly!

We went outside the other day and found this HUGE butterfly. Mom wanted me to have my picture taken with it but no way - it was so big it scared me! I was glad when mom put her finger down and the butterfly climbed on and then flew away! We thought it was too early for butterflies, I guess spring is really here!

New Scotty friends and a cute cabin too!

Mom and I got asked to go over and give some Scotty advice to some new friends. It was storming today so we couldn't get as much done on our Scottys as we wanted to so off we went. They have a very cute cabin. Its a lot like the one Mom and I want to build at our house. And, nice dogs too. Tucker, the lab, looks a lot like my cousin Emma, except Tucker's a BOY. And Ginger is very pretty. I hope we get to go camping with them sometime.

p.s. there's a picture of me with Mike and Luann and their Scotty, but Mom says that will be in the Scotty Newsletter next week.
