Sorry I have kept all you dog lovers waiting all this time. The truth is, we've moved! We lived in the country and now we are in the city. My parents have just purchased a two story house, so expect to see some new pictures soon. Another good thing is we now live by a big golf course.
On Saturday we introduced the dogs to our new glorious house. Hoover and Lizzie arrived first. They explored the house energetically. Then they wanted to go outside and check out the neighbors. Mom was about to call them in when on the doorstep was a skunk!
Then the dogs saw it. Thus came a smelly disaster. The next thing you knew Lizzie had blood-shot eyes and was rubbing her face in the ground and Hoover cornered the skunk. Luckily the skunk didn't appear to be fully loaded but what a warm welcome we got! But we still had to take them to the dog wash at 10:30 in the night. Thankfully, there is a spare garage connected to our house so the rascals could sleep there with the windows open. Nikita slept undisturbed that night for some apparent reason.
On Sunday the dogs smelled fresher (a big relief) and Nikita got to explore the yard without a skunk. Lizzie has moved before and is taking everything well while Hoover and Nikita are looking for spots to lounge. Yet Nikita found my room as a sanctum again. All three dogs can now enjoy peaceful strolls in the neighborhood.
It's now time for two new short stories with "Fair Fun" and "Golf Blunders!" The good thing about our new home is that the golf course is just a small walk away. So it wasn't that hard to get to my golf camp. But here is the biggest blunder. As we were heading down to a driving range, I wasn't paying attention and I soon tripped over a trash can in front of a counselor. And that's why I can never be trusted with china.
At the Monroe County Fair I had loads of fun with my friends. There's a ride called "Pharaoh's Fury". It's a boat that is like a pendulum. At least this time I opened my eyes! My friends are a lot braver than me. Yet we all had a great time. After that ride my blood pressure was up and I was excited. But I stopped the rides after one that spun in three dimensions called Storm. I was a little queasy.
Stay tuned for more on when we prepare for 5th grade!
Very entertaining blog post! I especially like the use of the words "rascals" and "sanctum"! You sure have a lot of exciting things happening in your life right now. Hope the rest of the first week in your new home is less smelly :).

No, not 5th grade!! Quit growing older!
ReplyDeleteOK, well, since you have to grow older, make sure to have a good year. And keep spending time with your friends - you're going to need the down-time.
I heard the blow-by-blow with the dogs vs. skunk from your mom - It was only funny because they aren't my dogs. ~_^
