My Arch Nemesis - by Hercules

We have been going on neighborhood walks since I was a little puppy.  And for the past two summers, I have developed an unlikely arch nemesis.  He stalks me on our walks, runs around just in front of me, teases me relentlessly, and is always one step ahead.  Who is this evil one I am referring to?  A little gray bird who has decided that he needs to spend his days teasing me relentlessly.

Last night and this morning he was really teasing me.  We are always walking along nicely when all of a sudden he flies over us and lands across the street, chirping up a storm and talking trash about me.  He will run along side us and stay just out of my reach.  He always seems to know which path we are going to take and flys/runs ahead of us.  It is almost like he knows that Mom and Dad won't let me just go and chase him, although I don't know what I would do if they did.  He did the same thing this morning, just chirping and running along side of me, calling me names and just being an all around pain in the butt.  I act like I am going to charge at him, I tug on my leash and bark back.  All the other birds run away, but not this guy.  He just keeps teasing and teasing.

Sometimes he even has a few goons (bird friends) that he sends to tease me.  He has never been able to fool me though, I know exactly what he looks like and who his goons are.  I bark at them a bit, but they are a lot easier to ignore than this guy.  I mean really, why kind of bird can convince other birds to follow and tease a dog?  You may think I am exaggerating, but this has been going on long enough for it to no longer be a coincidence, just ask Mom and Dad.  We have never seen a bird that smart and devious.  And I just wonder why he choose me to pick on, probably because he is sure to get a reaction out of me.

Week 2 Home with Mom and Dad

This week was another great one with Mom and Dad.  We found out that our baby brother is coming on Friday!  Mom and Dad are super excited because it is just before Dad starts his ILT class.  Tuesday and Wednesday Dad worked on finishing the tile in the guest bathroom.  We can't go in there yet, and the toilet is still in the bathtub, but it is all done and just has to dry. 

Wednesday Dad also was able to put rear pads and rotors on the T-bird, and he even got all four wheels on it.  We got to play outside with our Cool Dogz Ice Treat and Frisbee with Mom.  We ran around the yard like maniacs, the weather was so nice and we had a great time.  Then I got in trouble for trying to get into all of the neighbors garages and I had to go inside for a bit.  Hercules got to lick on the ice chunk for awhile, but then he had to go inside and it was my turn!  It is the best summer treat ever.  We got to go outside again today, and since it was so hot, we played in the hose (another one our our summer favorites).

Tomorrow Mom and Dad will go check into the hotel, and our babysitters will come up.  We will try to be good, and hopefully we will get lots of treats.  We were just glad that we had these two awesome weeks at home with Mom and Dad, and that we got so much stuff done around the house!
