A New Contributor to the Blog

Thomas's first trip to the Pacific Ocean

I asked Mama Sal if I could have a blog of my own. She said no, but as a compromise, she would let me add my own unique point of view to her blog and see if it catches on.

As you may have read earlier, I am a nearly perfect dog. I usually come when I am called, unless there is something more important happening. My priorities are chasing cats and squirrels, cuddling on the couch with whomever happens to be there and then doing anything Mama Sal tells me to. I like to follow her everywhere, but to be honest, it is all in hope of finding something to sniff or chase.

I am currently at my cousin Taffy's house in California, I think. I don't notice much difference, it has rained every day except for one sunny day when I went on a walk with uncle Jon and got covered with little things called burrs. Mama Sal cut them off and cut the back of my leg...but I didn't complain at all. I am that kind of dog. I liked the attention.

Ellie got a baby for Christmas. She pees. Ellie is all excited about that. When I pee, no one gets excited at all.
