Left alone!



I hate to tell you this, but on Friday night, I was left all by myself! That's right. Mami and Papi went to Portland for the night and they left me here. It was awful.
Ok, its true that Tia Jennifer and Doris came and took me for a walk, and then played snake. And then they came back the next morning and we played in the yard for a long time. But in between I was ALL alone. Except for Lulu. But she's no help.
Now Mami and Papi are back and the house smells like chorizo and papas because it's dinner time, so I'm feeling a little better about life. Just a little.

Memorial Day in the great outdoors


I realize the blog post makes it sound like we've been camping, but when I say outdoors I mean the back yard. It's been a pretty fun weekend around here. Mami has been working outside in the yard for three whole days, and tonight, Papi put a bunch of yummy food on the barbecue grill in back and I just sat there and sniffed the smoke, it was soooo good. I also kept an eye on the chickens. Mami won't let me chase them, but sometimes I march up with my stuffed snake and kill it right in front of the coop so they know I mean business. They dont really pay much attention but I know they're watching me out of the corner of their eye.
Mami took this funny picture of me tonight. She and Papi have been hanging laundry on the clothesline because it's warm and a little windy and things dry really fast. This is a photo of some of Mami's special things. They're bigger than me!

The chickens come home to roost

Last night the chickens arrived, Betita and Viola. My reaction to them was just about how Mami expected. As soon as a noticed them (which took a little while) I wanted to chase them. But after they figured out I couldn't get to them, they ignored me, which wasn't very fun, so eventually, after growling a lot, I lost interest.
Mami said it's going to take awhile before I'm very nice to them, but she said that someday we'll all get along. And when they're bigger we'll get to be in the yard together. What does "under supervision" mean?
