Daddy finally came home yesterday. It was great to finally stop having to listen to the oaf wondering which day Mommy said Daddy would be home. I'm excited that Daddy is home because then I don't have to stay in my bed for most of the day. It is really awesome to have a stay-at-home Daddy, who lets us stay out of our beds and plays with us during the day!

I guess Daddy was super tired when he got home from his trip, and he let ME take a nap with him. He said he was too tired to deal with the oaf, well he might not have said exactly that, but he knows that I'm a good nap taker. I've had lots of practice! The oaf seemed mildly upset that he didn't get to have a nap with us, but he got to stay downstairs and play with the kid. A little while later, Mommy came home. I was so excited to tell Mommy that Daddy let me take a nap with him, so I came running down the stairs, and when she opened the gate for me I jumped all over her, and then I tried to go back upstairs to help wake Daddy up, but Mommy said us pups had to stay downstairs now...bummer!

When Mommy and Daddy came back downstairs a few minutes later they were wearing water clothes!!!!! I had totally forgotten that it was Thursday, which means Armada and Trek's Pond Day!!!! Mommy loaded us up into her car, and off we went! Daddy has been practicing with Trek a whole bunch, and I just come along to have fun, which is awesome. The oaf was well, an oaf when we first got there. I kept running way up on the hill (and of course he followed) to see if I could get him lost, but it never worked. He kept following me back. There were a few times when Daddy and Trek were practicing and Trek wouldn't get his dummy, so Mommy asked me to help out, and I LOVE to help, so I swam out and got the oaf's dummy a few times. He's a silly puppy. After a while we started playing the recall game, with both me and the oaf. Then the oaf got put in the barking lot and it was just me and Mommy and Daddy playing the recall game. For some reason Daddy went out in the water, and he kept drifting farther and farther into the pond, which made me getting a treat from him REALLY hard!

After we got home, I heard Mommy and Daddy talking about maybe letting the oaf and I sleep with them, but ultimately they decided that the oaf might play in the sheets again, so we were banished to our own beds. Mommy made it seem like something happy, and then gave us each an ox tail to chew on....YUM!!!! Trek took forever to finish his, so I started yelling at him. I figure if he wasn't going to eat it properly I should get it. That didn't go over so well. Mommy came down and took it away :(

Tchau!
