Adventures of Rolle

Hi this is Rolle. I'm two years old and Jada is my mom. I've been staying with Curt and Meg for awhile and the other day I was playing in the water. I never knew it could be so much fun! I hope Meg will get the hose out again soon.

They Came Back!

Last week Curt and Meg went away and then they finally came back and I was so excited I could hardly stand it. I thought that maybe this would be the time they didn't come back, I know they've always come back before, but what if one of these times they don't. What would I do then? I hope they never leave me again. I am glad to be sleeping in my bed again.

Mumblings of a Brown Boxer

Last week Curt and Meg went away and we went to Craig and Carol's to stay. It was great! I didn't have to be stuck on the chain all day outside, I really liked it a lot. But I guess I did miss Curt and Meg. Curt will always wrestle with me and Meg gives me yummy treats. So to celebrate being home, me and Jada spent a lot of time laying around, it's was great. I love to lay around... and chase a frisbee... and lay around.

Jada's Daydream

Hi, it's Jada again.  So today I was staring out the window and wishing it was warmer weather.  I started thinking about all the fun I have in the summer when Curt and Meg take us camping.  I really like to go hiking and swimming and curl up by a warm fire and all that sort of stuff.  The only thing I don't like about camping is I always get pine sap all over me and it's super sticky and uncomfortable... oh and also, I tend to get sunburned.  Meg always tries to put sunscreen on my ears and head, but Duke inevitably licks it off.  Wonder how I could avoid that this summer.  Anyway, here are a few pictures of me frolicking last summer at Redfish Lake.

Sunday Mischief

What a great day! This morning Curt and Meg went... well I'm not sure where they went.  Wherever it is they go every sunday for a few hours.  Anyway, Jada and I were in the house together and we came up with a little plan.  Meg had left an entire container of donut holes and a loaf of bread on the counter. I could see it just peering over the side from where I was standing.  Now I've tried to reach stuff on the counter before, but my little legs just don't cut it.  But having Jada in the house with me changed everything this morning.  She was able to pull them down off the counter and we just had ourselves a yummy little snack in the dining room.  Mmmmm.  My little tummy was so full I could barely move, but I couldn't stop because it was so good. The best part; Curt and Meg thought it was pretty funny and we didn't even get into much trouble.  I hope Jada stays in with me more often.

Fun in the Snow? Not Always

Hi, it's Maggie. I'm sure you all looked at Meg's entry about the snow today and all the fun we had playing in it. And yes, today's snow frolicing was good times, however, there was a time, not long ago, when it was not such good times. We had a tremendous storm, much like the one we received today, late at night. Curtis and Meg took us all down to the park to play in it. Duke and Jada could jump through the snow with such ease, completely forgetting that I was only several inches tall and was, therefor, becoming buried by the immense amount of snow. But it was so fun to hop in the snow and play with everyone and I tried to hide it for as long as I could. Eventually, there was no more I could do. Meg discovered me in the snow unable to move due to my condition. She was so worried and carried me all the way back to the house, mostly, due to the fact that I was unable to walk on my own. When we got home, Meg gave me a warm bath to thaw the snow and then we cuddled up in bed together. She loves me so much and I love her too. I tell her so all the time with my nose kisses. I have included photo documentation of this fateful night.

Good Night

Tonight was such a great night! I went to L-Town with Meg and then we went to Paul and Alison's place.  When I got there, Paul was so excited to see me and he played with me and gave me some chips.  Then, Meg and Alison left and it was just me and Paul.  He let me cuddle up on his lap and pet me the whole time!  He is probably my third favorite person....yep, I'm sure of it. He told me how much he loved me and wished I could stay there with him. He calls me his princess in the pea and here's a picture of me.

I Love the Weekends

Hello, this is Maggie.  I just love the weekends!  It's so fun to have Curt and Meg home so I can always cuddle up on their lap.  I also get a lot of good food on the weekends.  During the week, when they're gone, I have to settle for the dry stuff they put in my bowl.  Blah.  Like, lastnight, I got some of Meg's sandwich and some Cheetos.  Aaaah, it was great!  On the weekends, I can also go outside to go to the bathroom anytime I want. Since I stay inside during the week I just have to hold it.  I've gotten pretty good at that too, my record is about 14 hours.  This morning was one of my favorite mornings. I just stretched out and Curt and Meg scratched my ears and my back, it felt wonderful! I think Duke and Jada probably like to weekends too because they get to be inside. They spend the weeks outside and Duke has been spending his, lately, on the chain.  That poor sap, I just look at him through the window and think, "Why can't you just stay in the yard."  Oh well, at least it's not me out there.

Sprucing Things Up

Hi, this is Jada...the smart one. So I was walking around the back yard today and realized that, with all this snow, it's pretty bland and boring out there. Duke has been on the chain lately because, despite my warnings, he's gotten out of the yard a lot lately. I keep telling him that there's nothing that great on the outside anyway and Curt and Meg sure worry about him, especially Meg. There was a big spool of green ribbon sitting on the dryer in the laundry room so I took it out to Duke on the patio. I figured it would give him something to do and also spruce up the place a bit with some nice color. He did a real nice job of dispersing it around the patio table and chairs, definitely an improvement. I'll look around in the laundry room tomorrow and see if there is anything else I can take out to him.
