On running

Running is the best! at the park, with the big guy, chasing kids...whatever! Running is the best!

i don't understand why i can't run with some other canines at the park. their people seem to stop them and get between us, but i just dance around and bark until they let the dog go. it's quite fun. although, i don't understand 'quit' or 'enough' as my people don't use those words with me. i know: sit, down, lay, shake...those mean i get a T-R-E-A-T or a chewy. sometimes, i hear 'come' but most of the time, i don't hear anything! anyways, i just make my own games with other dogs and if their people join in, then fabulous! if not, i'll just keep on playing and someone will join in or just run across the field. either way, i'm happy!

today, i got to run free and without a fence. the big guy took his contraption so he was able to go way faster than me. but that's ok...i got to run, and run fast. i almost felt the wind on my skin. i did feel it on my tongue and even let it hang to the side to get the full effect.

you should try it some time...there's nothing like a dangling tongue to cool you off.

Bugs and stuff

yesterday i had the opportunity to meet a new creature. it wasn't as loud as the fly last night, which i had fun chasing in the bedroom. i don't think the big guy and lady appreciated my graceful attack jumps from their bed. anyways, flies are a challenge. Moths, on the other hand, are a little more fun to hunt. they stay at the window so i can watch from inside or out...then as soon as they are low enough, i go in for the kill. i really don't mean to kill them. they flitter about so spastically i love to stalk and attack. and when i catch one, the fuzz tickles my tongue.

But yesterday, the creature i was after had loud wings and a huge body. It was crawling on the ground so i barked a little to scare it into flying. Kind of funny that it didn't leave, so i snapped at it. still, it stayed on the ground. i tried to use a paw to get it going, but no. the critter decided to take the long way and walk around my yard.

the lady ruined my fun tho. said something about 'hurt' and 'sting you' but i don't care. she threw a ball and i got to run. and that's the best thing in the world. well, second best after the big guy's food.

The Escape

i must say, it wasn't much of an escape. i did try tho. the front yard has so many smells i just can't resist. the kids were leaving so i thought i'd tag along. it didn't work tho. the lady came and got me. as soon as she let go, i got a few laps in-i was so excited to be free!!! but that too didn't last long. i love the feel of the wind (and smells!) in my fur. it's so thick, i have to run really fast to feel it. sometimes i even get the little people to run outback with me. of course they can't keep up. that's tons of fun to watch them try. when the young boy goes with his riffle out back...i get to tag along and be his scout. i'm not sure exactly what he is scouting, but i get to use my nose to find new things. that's another favorite of mine.

oh, so much to see and do...yes, life is good in the Moss house.

Cats!

i must share a little secret with you. i love when the white cat gives me a massage. it feels so good after a long day of decorating the house.

Perhaps they are not so bad. If only they would play tug-o-war with me. i am not so good at their hide and seek game...i can never find them!

My first post

here i am. finally on the web where i can get more attention. today was a normal day. my family left to visit friends so i willingly stayed home to keep the house in order. first of all, there was that bread that needed to be taken care of. then, i ended up examining the boy's slipper up close. after i was board with that, i found some plastic bags and bottles to shred. it made for a nice addition to the living room....my family will be so proud!

then, for some reason, they were not happy when they got back. well, all is not lost. i have my spot on the couch to nap off this terrible indigestion. I ate well rounded, so i have no idea why i feel this way.
