Summer is winding down and Fall is around the corner

 Miss M came over to visit and we had a GREAT time over at the tennis courts playing then taking a swim at the beach.  Miss M made me stay on my leash while swimming - Mom doesn't - but Miss M said I sometimes have a mind of my own and will take off.  She didn't want that to happen.
We still had FUN and played for a long time.  We came back to Miss M Grandma's house and Miss M gave me a bath outside.  Not the spa ones I am use to but a hose bath to get the sand off of me.  Miss M started school soon after  that so I don't get to see her as much now  :(

However, before school started Miss M, Grandma T, Mom and me went for a walk around the lake.  I showed them what a jumper I am now.   Avalon and I get to jump and swim there just about every day when we go out for a walk/bike ride so I have had lots of practice over the summer.  Miss M and Grandma T were impressed.  I could have stayed there all day showing them my jumping skills but every good thing comes to an end.

Mom and Dad went on a trip to Lincoln to see a person named Garrison Keillor.  Since it was in Lincoln it was an overnight trip for them. Puppies were not allowed - At least that is what Mom and Dad said but I think they just wanted a weekend-free puppy night.  So Miss M and Grandma T babysat Avalon and me.  I am not sure who had more FUN !!   Miss M came and got us several times both days and we played games, practiced commands a little and had treats.  It was a little scary during the night because we slept alone in the house but bright and early the next morning Miss M was there.  I was so excited to see her that my bladder got the best of me.  I sure hope Mom and Dad have Miss M babysit us more often.  Avalon and I sure like them !!

 Mom left one day to go see my two legged sister Aunna because she said Aunna had become a puppy Mom.  She is a first time Mommy. Her four legged baby's name is Frankie.  He came from a rescue for French bulldogs.  Mom said he has some issues with other puppies right now so I could not come along.  Maybe when he gets settled in Mom said we can take another trip and go visit.  I hope that is soon.  I like playing with other puppies.  I could even teach him some commands !

 Mom and Dad have not had our home on wheels out lately because of the Lincoln trip they took, then the eclipse that was going to happen in Nebraska.  No camping sites were open.   So we took a training trip to a store to buy things for the home on  wheels.  It was a cool store and had special treats for puppies.  Dad picked some up and I did some command training with him while we were in the store.  He did a good job and got lots of treats.

When we got back from our trip we spent the evening out on the deck watching baseball with Dad.  We have not done that for a long time since we are usually out in our home on wheels on the weekends.   Dad had adult treats and we had our puppy treats plus Dad gave us a few peanut snacks when Mom was not looking.

Mom has been taking me out more with her again when she runs errands.  It is not as hot as it has been so I can walk on the concrete without burning my feet.  Plus Mom said home school has kind of started again for me too. Summer vacation is over.  Soon I will be heading back to KSDS for my college training.   I am kind of nervous about going back but I know my other litter mates will be there so I am excited to see them again and hear about all of their stories about home schooling.


Finally the eclipse I have heard everyone talking about came.  Mom said the moon will be  covering up the sun and it will look like night during the day.  The first thing though that happened that day was three little puppies come over for us to babysit while their Mom and Dad were moving.  I went over to say 'Hi" and make sure they were OK.  Told them not to do any remodeling in there because that makes Mom unhappy.   Mom worked on canning corn while we waited for the eclipse.  It was cloudy so you could not see the sun or moon so we watched it on TV.  They made special glasses for two legged people but they didn't make doggie ones so Avalon and I would not have been able to watch outside anyway.  We were watching on TV and all of a sudden it did get night during the day.

With fall comes BIG RED NEBRASKA FOOTBALL !!  I remember watching many games with Dad last year.  They even went on trips out of town to watch them but I never got to go.  However, this fall I get to go to a game.  Mom called and asked if we could get seating in the handicapped section and they said YES !  That way I have room to sit too !!  I am sooooo excited !!

GO NEBRASKA HUSKERS !!
