Non-schedule
I have no idea what is going on except that our schedule has gone to pieces. It seems my normal morning and 5pm walk are all messed up. It is making it weird for me, and I've started to need my security blanket - uh, I mean shoe. See, after Joan leaves, I'll take one of her shoes that are near the door and move it to wherever I am lying down - my bed or the floor or on the couch (if I"m sneaky). In the past, if I've been really upset like when Joan leaves all day and then comes home and leaves again really fast, sometimes I've even had to chew her shoe a bit. She didn't like that at all because they were nice leather shoes for her work, I guess. Then she started hiding all her shoes except the one she wears everyday when we go walking. I guess those are tough.
It doesn't matter that Joan hangs out here all morning or even into the afternoon - if she leaves and then returns late, it messes up my expectations for a nice evening walk. Instead we walk really late at night when there are no squirrels to chase --- hmmmmm. At least there are still lots of smells.
Last night when she got home at 9pm (she said something about doing research but that is definitely not as important as me -- she's also said things about having dates or going to talks about bikes at a place called REI - none of these are acceptable reasons), I was really needy. I really wanted to go for a walk but she's wasn't biting. She sat on the couch and I put my head in her lap and whined. Then I got up on her lap and started nudging her. When she said "go lie down on your bed," I just jumped up on the couch and curled up next to her. :----) She didn't do anything so I stayed PUT until bedtime.

Bosco,
Try knocking over the trash can while she is gone. That's what I do when I'm angry at Julia.

Hey Bosco! Saba here from Spain. I was thinking of doing a blog and
found yours on the net, and got a real shock when I discovered you are
the splitting image of me! Here´s a picture of me on the
beach with a pal. http://www.beachholidaycottage.com/?Photos_Holiday_Cottage:Beach_Dogs

Saba - we do look exactly alike! How crazy but Joan says our DNA would be different - whatever that means.
Buttercup, Joan redid the kitchen and now the garbage (which I used to get into all the time - it has so many yummy things in it) - is now in a cabinet drawer so I cannot at all ever get the garbage! Sometimes I countersurf but she is on to that and there is usually nothing up there. The other night I smelled bread and sniffed it - Joan put it in the cabinet then. One time I ate a whole loaf of bread - boy did I have to go to the bathroom when she got home! In addition to the bread, I drank a whole bowl of water because after the loaf, I was really thirsty.

Garbage in a cabinet! Don't tell Julia! I love the garbage!

I'm glad to see my old friend is still a happy and healthy dog!
Your pal,
