Catching Up

Well, my Mom starts her next long-term sub job tomorrow, so my blogging will be even more infrequent than it has been lately.  I will be lucky to post once a week, but Mom promises me she will help me catch up on all your blogs this week sometime.  I figured I better squeeze in one post while I can.  Mom gets to teach Title I Math to kiddos who need extra help for the rest of the year.  In case you are wondering....yes, she taught Kindergarten last year, but due to budget cuts in the school district and the fact that it was only her 1st year teaching, she was a casualty of the RIF. (Reduction In Force)  She says it's ok though because if not for that she wouldn't have had the opportunity to spend 5 months with her wonderful 4th graders, and she would have never known that teaching upper elementary kids was SO much fun!  Anyway, onto me and what I have been up to before Mom calls it a night.



I have played with my neighbor Riley some more!  The funniest thing is that she likes to go underneath me and just stand!  Mom tells me that will not be happening for too long though as Riley will be taller than me, but I have a feeling she may still try it.


She REALLY likes to use her paws when we play.  She also immediately goes into a submissive position, and then tries to paw at me like a kitty would. :)  It's quite comical to see her roll herself on the ground or face plant and then turn over and start waving her paws in the air.



Mom and I have also been celebrating lots of birthdays. (Ummm, don't forget mine's coming up Mom!;)  This was from Julie's birthday.  She is my pal Ozzie's Mom.  All of these humans belong to one of my doggie friends, but this time there were NO dogs...can you believe it!  They actually went out without us...I am sure they missed us though!  They went out for pizza and then to a movie.  Happy Birthday to Julie!



The next birthday is Colleen's!  She's my pal Sierra's Mom.  Although her birthday is not until next weekend we celebrated today with a hike, a trip to this cool nursery, and lunch.  We even managed to get a somewhat decent group shot.  Happy Birthday Colleen!



This is my favorite picture though!! BOL!  Check out the expressions on the human's faces as they are afraid after the photoshoot we will head straight into the camera and knock it over!  Silly humans, we know to go around and we did...NO cameras were hurt today. ;)



As you already know, my Nanny & Grampi came over to watch the  basketball game this weekend, and we had lots of fun!  By the way, WVU made it to the final four...they beat Kentucky!! WOOHOO!  Anyway, I LOVE it when my Nanny & Grampi come over...ummm, Nanny, Grampi, if you read this, I do hope the unfortunate incident of me gobbling down your leftovers from the pasta restaurant doesn't keep you away for too long. :(  Sorry about that, but I must say it was mighty tasty. ;)

While Nanny & Grampi were here we hiked to this really neat waterfall too called Umtanum Falls.  It was very pretty!  Well, that's it for now...I will try to catch up on all your happenings very soon!

Love,
