Back from vacation




I'm not going to apologize for disappearing for a long time. I went away to have a vacation (which I needed, by the way), and now I am back and I am happy. So there.

I played with my new camera and knitted, and had a generally good time. That's how a vacation should be, right?

Rusty is happy to have his mama home, but he had a good time with my friends who stayed here for the week. He likes having company. So everybody's happy.

And that's what I have to say today. More later.

A nice holiday from work



I get to have a day off work today since it's Good Friday. However, someone decided that I needed to get up at 6:30, so instead of getting to sleep in, I was up pretty close to my usual time. Darn. And then, to top it off, after he went outside to go potty, he came back inside and went back to sleep! How nice is that?

Seriously though, I love Rusty and I'd rather get up at 6:30 so that he can go outside and pee than have him pee on the carpet. It also helped that I was awake too, so I wasn't going out of my way to get up.

I had cereal. I know I had cereal. But I don't have cereal anymore. Where did my cereal go? There must be a cereal demon living in my cupboard that has stolen my cereal to do his evil little rituals. Stupid cereal demons. I know I had cereal.

All righty then. Rusty's napping again, so I think I might join him after I find something to stop my stomach from rumbling.

Have a lovely day!

New toys

Look how innocent he is. Like he could never have done anything as naughty as pee on the carpet. Pssh. We all know better.

I don't know if I told you all that I got a new toy for my birthday. I had to buy it myself, but that's okay. I'm allowed to give myself birthday presents. I got myself an 8 megapixel SLR digital camera. It's very beautiful and fun. I have to do some work figuring out how to print pictures so they look okay, but that's okay. I've been having fun taking close up shots that I couldn't before.
Rusty wasn't sure about this new thing that Mama was holding at first, so he stuck his nose in the lens, which prevented me from taking any pictures. But now he's okay with it, and doesn't mind when I'm taking his picture when he's doing cute things, like scratch his face.

My daddy is tuning my piano right now, not because it really needs it (it just wasn't perfect), but because my mom is having her book club at their house, so I got him out of the house while it is inundated with women. Poor Daddy.

Rusty is squinting at you because you haven't emailed me recently to tell me how you are doing. Maybe if you do that, he'll open his eyes. Maybe. He is an old dog, you know, and needs lots of sleep.

There. You've gotten three pictures in one post. You better be happy. If you aren't, I don't really care. So there. Nah-nah. Have a lovely night.

Rusty talks more



Hey, yo, everyone! Mama doesn't feel like posting today, so she made me do it instead. That's cool. Last night, Mama gave me my dinner really late. That wasn't cool. But she went out with friends from college, so I guess it was okay. I was really glad when she got home. And it was really okay, because we went for a walk yesterday morning. And today my grandma came over with Mama, and we all went for a walk.

I like walks. Except if we go too far. I get tired if we go to far. Then I drag along behind hoping that Mama might carry me, but she never does. And then I get home and I'm so tired I can't even make it to my water dish to get something to drink. I have to lie down in the middle of the living room first so I can regain my energy.

It's been really nice weather. I like that. Mama opens the front door so I can look out. So I look out and watch the cars and people going by. I want it to be summer so we can go to the cabin and I can ride in the canoe again while Mama and Grandpa go fishing. And I can play in the woods and get ticks all on me and go wading to try and catch fish and stuff like that. I like the cabin.

Whew. That's a lot of writing. I'm tired now. I'm going to have to take a nap. I will talk to you all again later. Bye!
