So here's what I think about how this week is going. I love not being stuck in a kennel, even though I do love Camp Bow Wow. I've found a new boyfriend in Ajax, Jenny and Jason's border collie. We run and jump through the snow together every chance we get. I say, "ruff, ruff" to Colorado!
Now my boys have been having a tail-wagging time. Yesterday I was very confused when Dad and Brayden came to my rescue at the car without Mom and Beau (I've been keeping watch over the car while everyone is out having fun). Where were they? I couldn't find my long-haired buddy. Quickly I figured out that Dad and Aunt Jenny took Brayden down the bunny hill for the first time when he was finished with ski school. The big smile on his face was all I needed to know he needed a big, Honey lick right up his face to congratulate him on successful ski school.
Mom said when she picked him up that his instructor, Ben, told her that Bubba was the only kid all day who didn't cry for his mommy. I'm not surprised. He's a tough guy. Ben also called Brayden the "champion" of the class. That's my boy.
Mom and Beau finally got there after I'd already had my potty break and run around some. I hear that Beau was the most popular kid at school. When it was time to leave, mom said he had to walk around to every instructor with a high five. And she bought some really cool pictures of the boys so I could see what had been going on all day.
The best Aunt Jenny - the big surprise
Mom thinks about half the population has an Aunt Jenny. My yellow lab friend, Tally, does; My friend Elmo in Springfield does; Eddie and Henry do - oh, and so do all of the kids that belong to those doggy friends of mine. Anyway, today our Aunt Jenny became the best Aunt Jenny in the world.
She surprised us with a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the mountains. Ok, not us, but my family. I got to stay in the car. But they say it was amazing and beautiful and the perfect day for it. We'll put a picture or two here. My boys even got to drive the sleigh and guide Rocky and Rio, the horses.
On to Ridgway
Next we loaded back into the car - I was the first one in! I jumped all the way over the bags and into my cozy bed. I tried to nap during the drive that was a couple of hours north to Jenny and Jason's house in Ridgway, but those mountain roads can make a dog sick. Luckily, I held down my Purina One.
I was so excited to get out of the car - the boys were, too! We ran and jumped in the snow. Brayden and I had a snowball fight. I don't think it was very fair, though. I was getting hit right in the head with all of the snowballs and Brayden just laughed. I guess that's the life of a best friend. I loved every minute of it.
Right before it started getting dark, Dad and Uncle Jason started building a snowman with Brayden. We finished it tonight, and Brayden was so excited. I helped make sure Beau didn't get stuck in the deep snow when we went searching for the snowman's arms.
I guess that's it from here. Grandma, give Sadie a lick for me. Grandma Zellers, tell Maggie hi. And for everyone else with a dog member of the family, give them an extra pat tonight. Taking care of a family is hard work.
