More parties and...a raccoon
Yesterday, Joan had another party. I can't believe it. More food and more people came over. But Joan told me last night that I was soooo good. I was really well-behaved. I did not jump on anyone and I also wasn't frightfully scared of anyone or anything. I just roamed throughout people. There was another little person there - my size - and he was chasing me one time. But I am much faster than he is so I just running in a circle ahead of him. Then Eileen called the little boy to her and then called me and then I let the boy pet me. Martha and Miguel, my favorite friends, were at the party too! I like to follow Miguel around because he is so nice to me at his own house. By the end of the night, I was very tired. See:
This morning was pretty unusual. Joan was in her bed getting ready to take me on a walk (I was hoping) when I heard a noise out the window. There are always squirrels climbing on the trees so I went to investigate. This time it wasn't a squirrel but a raccoon climbing up the tree. I started barking ferociously. Joan was yelling at it to go down. She kept calling me over - funny, she wanted me to bark at it. It did not go down, though, it went up on the roof. That got Joan out of bed!!!
We went outside and she had a flashlight and kept shining it up on the roof. She started talking to the raccoon on the roof (she was not very nice). Anyway, we got to go on a walk. When we returned she went upstairs and turned on her radio really loud. I don't like loud music so I'm going to stay downstairs as much as I can.
Then the weird thing is some men came to the house and cut down the tree that the raccoon climbed up near the bedroom. These are the same guys that came here last week when Joan wasn't here. I barked at them, too. But Joan was with them so I guess it is okay. But they had this really loud machine that cut the tree - and I don't like loud noises so I just stayed in the house. Now, Joan won't let me out of the house. I think she's afraid of a dog-raccoon interaction. Anyway, what a crazy start to the day.
