For some reason Daddy has been filling up puppy pools with water and dropping stuff in it. The other night he and Mommy were dropping meatballs in the puppy pool, which seemed a little odd, but they were meat balls, we don't get those very often, so I figured I would take part. Yesterday, he filled that puppy pool up with water again and kept dropping chicken and my whiffle ball in there! Is he MAD?!? You don't fill a puppy pool up with water, you put puppies in a puppy pool! Puppies can't live in a puppy pool filled with water!

That maddness finally stopped when Mommy got home from work, and then she loaded me and the oaf up into her car and we went to Aunt Cristi's house for water practice. They let us out to "blow off carbon," whatever that means, and I was really upset because Jack and Doodlebug didn't get to come up and play, so I went down to check on them a few times, but the oaf had to ruin it by coming with me and making a big scene. Mommy and Daddy don't fully trust that oaf, so they ALWAYS come looking for us when he joins in. After a few minutes they put the oaf in his crate and I got to stay out!!!! Mommy got my whiffle ball and kept dropping it in the pond for some reason, she expected me to pick it up for her....I had to get my hair wet!!!! The nerve of her! At least I got some chicken for being helpful. Then she threw my float line out in the water, and it was too far for Mommy to get, so I swam out and got it for her. Then Mommy got in the water with me and swam some. I don't know if you know this, but those floaty things way off shore, I think they're called "markers" they have chicken on them!!!!! Once I swam to the chicken holders and back to shore Mommy and Daddy played the recall game with me some, which is one of the coolest things ever! They give me chicken and let me jump on them, as if it's hard to run back and forth between them. After that I got to rest peacefully in my crate in Mommy's truck, because it was the oaf's turn next. Then he reappeared and we were stuck there together while Mommy, Daddy, and Aunt Cristi played with Doodlebug.

After that we all got baths and went home and Doodlebug came with us, that means there's no chance of getting to sleep with Mommy and Daddy for the next few nights! I did my best to make sure they know of my disapproval at sunrise by barking my little head off just to get a drink of water :) I'm such a good puppy! Hopefully today Daddy's puppy pool madness has stopped or Aunt Cristi might not let him go play with puppies in the future!
