Emma comes to the Garage Sale

So that's what this has been about. They have been collecting stuff in boxes for ages. Today they spent about 5 hours sitting in the garage in the blazing heat while a lot of strange humans came round and offered to take some bits away. We don't mind too much, we could stay inside with the air conditioning and the ceiling fans. We also got some Pizza crusts too.

I saw Emma the little terrier from next door. She's a nice dog and treats her human pretty well. Big Lady and Big Guy obviously talked to her because they smelled of small terrier when they came back inside. Emma and I talked briefly over the fence. I tried to call her through the window but I'm not sure if she heard me.

Happy Fourth!

Happy Fourth of July to all my fellow American canines. Good wishes to all dogs and dog lovers round the world. We've had a pretty good day although Big Guy had to stay in Kansas City because the roads south were flooded. I know it's been pretty wet down here in the last few days.

There were a lot of firecrackers, although not as many as last year. Patrick doesn't like loud noises so sometimes I have to go and tell people off when they scare him.

Groomed

This wasn't good. Big Lady told Big Guy she found a large grey marble on the floor of the bathroom. It was a tick, and it had fallen off me when I went to see her. Eew! Ick!

The good news was I got a good brushing today. The bad news is that I also got some of my fur trimmed round my legs. I suppose they need to but I liked the flowing look - it was a bit like an Irish Setter except darker. Big Guy said it looked pretty good. I've looked up close and it looks OK - not that there's much I can do about it right now.
