I have seen Dad watch something called Baseball on TV all summer long. Sometimes inside the house and sometimes outside on the deck but on Labor Day we got to go watch a game at the ball park. I had my first ride in the car in the back instead of on the floor of the car. Liked that much better since I could see out the windows.
The team is called the Storm Chasers but they didn't chase after a storm just a round ball. They even hit it with a stick. I had to be on my best behavior with my working vest on. At first we sat down and watched then walked around. You could walk around the whole field. Lots of people stopped and talked to Mom and Dad but Mom said I was working and could not be petted. We stopped to get treats - Mom got a BIG ice cream but my treats were the same old ones I always get but at least I got treats. Didn't have to do any commands to get them either. 
The rest of the week was not that exciting. It was kind of the same old - same old day to day activities. Went for our daily bike ride and practiced commands. I don't understand why Avalon doesn't have to practice ?? We went to the grocery store and Home Depot. Milo was going to come over and swim and play in the lake but it rained so missed that. However - the weekend came and time for FOOTBALL again. I am learning to be a HUSKER puppy !!
Husker Saturday started before the game with picking veggies. Mom made a really good smelling brunch but it wasn't for me or Avalon. We watched the game outside on the TV. Mom and Dad had something called a Bloody Mary. I was not allowed to have one. You have to be 21 to drink them and I am still in my terrible two's as my Mom says. Avalon doesn't like them so she was Ok just drinking out of her water bowl. Mom and Dad brought our bowls outside so if we were thirsty we had something to drink. It was a fun time outside and the HUSKERS won the game.
Milo and her sister came over to swim again. We have soooo much fun playing fetch in the water. I heard Milo's Mom say Milo was acting like a terrible teen. Wonder if that is like being in your terrible two's ?? like Mom says I am ?
You would not believe who I got to see !!! Mom got a phone call saying my sister WHEELS was coming out to the lake and wanted to see me. We have not seen each other since we left KSDS INC. when we were just puppies at 8 weeks old.
I was sooo excited and told Avalon about Wheels and KSDS Inc. It was hard to remember everything since I was just a little one at the time. Finally Wheels and her sister Buttercup showed up at the house and we were all off to the tennis courts to run and play. We played, chased balls and practiced some commands. After we were worn out we went back to Wheel's house and took pictures. I think it was a little challenging to get all of us to look at the camera at the same time because everyone kept saying "sit, stay, look" Buttercup finally told me and Wheels to stop acting up and stay in place - she was getting tried of staying in her place. I sure hope Wheels and Bettercup come again to play and Wheels will come with us for training outings. Milo too. 
Miss M surprised me later in the week and came over to play. We went back over to the tennis courts and played basketball. I think Miss M was practicing because I heard the grown ups taking about a basketball tournament. I have never gotten to play with a basketball and it sure was fun. Miss M kept trying to throw it up in the air and get it in this basket ? I thought that was kind of funny but she sure was happy when the ball made it in. Later we went over to Miss M grandma's house and practiced commands. Even a new one - roll over. Miss K let Mom read a paper she did for school while we were there. 
Saturday Husker Football came around again. I stayed close to Avalon during the game. Dad was pacing around the house and standing in front of the TV during the whole game. Dad would frighten me when the Huskers would score and he would jump and yell till his voice sounded funny. Glad they won so Dad could relax. We spent more time outside after the game watching football on the deck. It was dark when we came in.
The next day Grandma T came and picked Mom and me up so we could go surprise Miss M at her basketball tournament. When we got there Miss M was playing so I visited with Miss K and her Mom. When the game was over Miss M saw us and came running over. A lot of her friends from school were there so we got to visit and play with them until Miss M's next game. There were lots of people there and basketballs flying all over the place and I had to try hard not to run on the court and try to play too. When the game was over we went outside and over to the church/school carnival. I had a treat I have NEVER had before. It was called a snow cone and it was blue like my vest. Miss M and all of us walked around and a lot of Miss M's friends came over to talk to us. Miss M let them pet me but told them that the next time I will officially be working and when I am working I can not be distracted. I really liked being petted though so that is not going to be fun.
We spent a long time there so I was sleepy when I got back home. I took a short nap and when I woke up Dad was home and said "lets go swim". Avalon and I ran out the back door and beat everyone down to the beach. Dad threw the toys for us and we jumped off the boat dock and would bring them back to him just to do it again and again. I love swimming with my sister and Dad. Mom came down a couple of times but she was up in the kitchen making pear butter. It really smelled nice when we came back in.Finally I just have to tell you about someone I met at the church/school carnival. He is a priest and the only other person I have met who dresses in black just like me. I thought he might understand puppy talk since he communicates with some powerful people but it was not the case. He was very nice though and talked to Miss M about puppy raising. I think I might get to meet him again - I heard them talking about the Blessing of the Animals is coming soon and I should come for the Blessing. I would like that.
