Hiding from Gram to avoid being checked for ticks when we came in from outside.

I have no idea how she managed to find me under the bed.

Lately I have been protesting under the bed when Gram gets ready to go for her run. She needs to know that she should never leave me. For any reason.

She thinks that leaving me a bone treat in the kitchen makes up for leaving me. It does not.

That bone treat always disappears by the time she returns even though I remain under the bed.

I think Pap eats it. Or maybe that awful swiffer duster.

Once again, I came out here to supervise Pap’s grilling.

Once again, there was a sunbeam.

Once again, Pap remains unsupervised.

I put myself to bed on the couch this evening. It seemed like my best option. Since, as usual, the people refused to take me to bed at a reasonable hour.

Turning Eleven is exhausting. I have had a big day. My Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary came to see us and celebrate my birthday.

Gram took me for a big walk in the meadow,

The people went away and left me this evening, but, have no fear, I threw a giant Milton party for all of us when they came home.

Ain’t no party like a Milton party!!

Gram says Pap did a good job cooking the chicken even without my close supervision. She may have been covering for him though. You know how people are…

Currently we have combined two of my favorite things. The people ate their ice cream on the porch since it was so nice outside. That meant that I got to prewash their bowls on the porch.

Ice cream ON THE PORCH!!

It is truly a monumental occasion. My birthday is not until tomorrow, but clearly we are already celebrating!

I came out on the porch to supervise Pap’s grilling. Then I discovered a sunbeam. Obviously sunbeams take precedence over grilling. So Pap remains unsupervised.

Having sneezed at the people a record FOUR times with no results (except Gram sarcastically saying “Bless you”), I have decided to climb up on the arm of Pap’s chair to look outside. You know, so they’ll know that’s where I want them to take me.

I hate to resort to low growling or barking at them, but I can see that’s the direction we’re headed.

This evening’s singalong concert on the porch featuring the vocal stylings of Pap and Gram includes such 80’s classics as “Keep on Loving You,” “Jesse’s Girl,” “Video Killed the Radio Star,” and “Whip It.”

I am doing my best to be a good fan. As long as we’re on the porch, I guess I can deal with the synthesizers, less than stellar vocals, and the fact that they’re just guessing at a lot of the lyrics.

The people have had their ice cream. It was an especially good night for me, as Pap gave me his container to wash.

Now Cow and I wait. The people know that it is porch sitting time, yet they insist on keeping us waiting while they watch the news. 🙄

Pap brought me out to porch sit while Gram was brushing her teeth. Since she wasn’t here yet, I jumped up on her chair to warm it up for her. I try to be considerate, especially when there’s a comfy chair involved.

Even though I need to bark at Bone sometimes, he is a good friend.
