What's Up With That?

It's been a long time coming. The Humans say Brenda the Human and Magnum the Cat only tolerated each other for the first few years they were together - but in the past few years that's been very different. As I never used to get along with Magnum the Cat I didn't really pay attention to it, but to the Humans it was a big deal. It's obvious to me they get along just fine!

Leave Her Alone!

I find that although Magnum the Cat and I get along pretty good now, it's always best to just leave her alone. I'm never sure what kind of mood she's in, so I basically just leave it up to her to approach me. I'm usually in a pretty good mood myself, so it's no doubt safer for her too!

I Keep Forgetting.

While I really like this time of year I keep forgetting something. I shouldn't chase everything I see in the yard. I say this because the other day I chased some birds off the fence and wasn't watching where I was going and ended up hurting my back leg. It's nothing serious and it doesn't hurt too much, but I have a small limp and sometimes have to work and standing up. The Humans are taking good care of me and only let me out the small front yard so I can heal. I did get rid of those birds, though!

Why I Like This Time Of Year.

There's a lot of things I like about this time of year. Probably the most important thing is that it's no longer cold and all the snow is gone. Another thing I like about this time of year is that there's a lot of things going on and a whole new collection of smells to enjoy. It makes going out to the back yard a real adventure!

A Very Serious Job

The Humans laugh at me at times when I go out into the yard to do my patrol. I check the fence line and make sure there have been no security breaches and then I do a visual check of a variety of other locations inside that fence line. Sometimes it takes only a few minutes, other times it can take a whole lot longer. The Humans don't realize I'm doing it for their protection, and I'm always happy to do it.

I'm A Pretty Happy Dog

Yep, I'm a pretty happy dog. I've got a nice warm place to stay, a big yard to run around in, Humans that take good care of me and regular food and water (and treats!). I'm pretty happy and pretty lucky, too. I get the odd car ride where I get to see what's going on outside my yard which keeps me interested and gives me a good workout. The Humans tell me not all dogs live like I do. I'd hate to think what it would be like without car rides!
