Down Time


Here I am hanging out with Mom on the couch the other day. If Mom is there then Marcus cannot be too far away and as you see he is in the picture dozing too.

It was a hard month of February around here and I was not allowed on the computer by myself. Mom and Dad have been busy taking care of Mom's Mom and all of her affairs. She has been really sick and in the hospital now for a month. Mom's Mom had a big operation that Grandpa Wally had, but has not recovered well from it, so she is in assisted care until she can care for herself again.

Since I went through obedience training Dad has been focusing more on my retrieving skills. Dad says he will be the only one out in the field that has to do the Cincinnatti Bengals call to get his dog to come in. Mom always yells, "Hooodeee whoooo, hughdehooo!" to get me to come in. Dad just shakes his head. My Mom said to Dad, "Hey his other nickname is Q-Tip and I could have started using that..which do you prefer?" Dad just smiles and shakes his head at her.

Mom and Dad have gotten several inquiries from people who are looking to buy a pup from my First Mom. Dad says he could talk about me and hunting all day and with anyone.

Mom said she is looking forward to warmer weather and getting the pool open again for swimming for me. I am not sure that I remember it, but Mom said I was really good at it.

Mom has had her Mom's dog, Tiera, here for the last month. She is a cairn terrier and she thinks she can kick my butt, but she really can't, butttt, I let her think she can. She and I are fast friends and run all over my yard. I tackle her and she snarls like a raccoon and comes at me, but guess what?? She can't catch me, but I sure do catch here! I like running circles around her. Mom says she thinks that I will be sad when Tiera finally goes back to her home, but hey, she can visit right?

Marcus and I went to the vet this past Saturday. Mom and Dad have always been so impressed with my attitude in public and that I am reserved, but not paranoid. Well on Saturday there was a 19 or so year old kid in the waiting room with a hood on and I was having none of him. He came over to me with his hand out and I growled him back! Mom and Dad were very surprised at my reaction. I continued to look at him slyly and growl. Mom said she thought it was the hood he was wearing. Me? I just didn't like him and I like most.

Well, I am not sure when I will be back. I hope it is soon. Mom is hopeful that her Mom will be able to leave the hospital next week and then it will be back to regular Sunday blogs and pictures. Be good people and hug your dogs if you got 'em!

I am Hugh
