JODIE: Nope! They were turkeys!
SANDY: I ran after them, and was way ahead of Jodie and Coco, and all the eagles just soared up through the trees.
JODIE: No, Sandy, they were not eagles, they were turkeys!!
SANDY: Well, I think they were eagles!
COCO: Jodie if she wants to believe they were eagles let her. I know they were turkeys, you know they were turkeys, and Mom told Dad they were turkeys. You and I saw real eagles, up close and personal in Alaska, but Sandy never had the chance. If we go back next summer, she will see the eagles and then she'll see the difference.
JODIE: I must be losing my mind, Coco. You are actually making sense.
COCO: Perhaps you've been under stress. I'll continue this blog, if you don't mind.....
JODIE: No, go right ahead.
COCO: Fine. Summer has been continuing along pretty much the same, day after day. We go swimming almost every day. Sandy has become QUITE the water dog. Of course she can't keep up with me, what dog can? I think she swims at least as good as Jodie and spends more time in the water than Jodie does. She will swim to all ends of the pool to retrieve a ball, but she doesn't seem to realize yet that she can't fit three balls in her mouth. She will stay in the corner trying over and over to fit the third ball in, but unless she can swallow one, it will not happen. Also, there is only ONE dog that can swim to the bottom and fetch toys, and that's ME, ME, ME!!! I'm saying that as humbly as I can, but when you're great, you're great.
JODIE: Coco is correct, she is the only one who can retrieve off the bottom. Or at least she is the only one who wants to. She is also the only one who jumps off the side. She's the only one who froths at the mouth to get a ball. She's the only one who wheezes after a while from being over active. Besides, she the one the folks watch and slow things down to keep her from hurting herself. Sandy and I will play a little, then relax. I will just lay down and rest while Sandy goes into a corner and peels the fuzz off the tennis balls.
COCO: Is THAT why the tennis balls are getting bald??? I thought they caught something from Dad.
SANDY: Yeah, I chew on the tennis balls....so what?
JODIE: So nothing. If the folks don't reprimand you for destroying the balls, what do I care?
COCO: Back to my blog. As I was saying, we are in the water almost every day, but are quickly taken out and dried when a thunder storm approaches. Jodie and I don't mind the thunder, but Sandy goes bananas. We've had Mom or Dad or sometimes both in the pool some days. That will give you some idea of how hot it is, because DAD, big strong DAD will not go into the water until it's a warm as......as warm as......well, bath water.
JODIE: There is some talk about going to the beach in St. Augustine, but so far it's just talk and we don't seem to be making any progress in setting up the trip. I'd really like to get back to the beach as Coco and I have a great time in the surf and we want to show Sandy how much fun it is. Until later.........Jodie and the other two.
sounds like you three are having a great time this summer!
ReplyDeleteHi Girls, This is Rigg's, I can understand Sandy thinking a real big bird is an eagle, I remember when Sadie first came to live with us she was in the backyard with me and I saw this big bird that I thought was an eagle circling high up above us, I barked my mean bark and started jumping and then Andy came out and saw it and brought Sadie in the house, he said it was a big hawk and that it would have scooped Sadie up and taken her away and eaten her. He said I was to big for it and that I was a good boy for being alert. Now that it is cooling down a little bit Mom & Dad said we can start going to the doggie park again. Boy Jodie & Coco know how much I love swimming and I didn't get much chance while we were having 100 degree weather.I went to a beach in Ohio it wasn't the ocean though Dad says the ocean can get pretty wild and is colder than the Lakes.Hope you all have fun. Your MO. buddy Rigg's......
