Watching For Spring
I wish that spring would appear
With daffodil blooms far and near
The squirrels awake
From their long winter break
And into their hearts I strike fear
The Taste Test
After much chewing and tasting I have
Come to the conclusion that salty sticks
From the beach do indeed taste like pretzels
With a little bit of toothpick flavor
Thrown in as well
Stick Patrol
Our friend Baldr is the champion of big sticks
He can find and carry sticks that are three
Times the size of him
Della and I find our sticks at the beach
They kind of have a nice salty taste to them
A Little Chuckle
I had to chuckle when I heard about the Whisker
Contest between Baldr and the man
Our dad has a beard too and it is always a pleasure
To forage around in there looking for leftovers
I'm not as lucky as Baldr
Mom never buys salami
Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh No!
Fenway is such a fraidy cat
Now he won't go in the woods
Since he heard Baldr might
Find a Bear there
A Good Run
We went to the beach yesterday
It felt good to run and feel the sand between our toes
Fenway and I love the cold weather
But we have had enough of walking on the ice
We do have nice winter coats
But we don't have any Uggs
Call of the Wild
Winter can be very quiet
But if I listen really carefully I do believe
I can hear the crunching sound snow makes
When being rolled on
Yup, it seems our friend to the North and my
Brother Fenway share the same
Love of rolling in the snow
Must be a guy thing
The Watcher
Our friend Baldr is sure to win a gold medal
In his event, The Alpine Dinner Run
My sister Della will probably win the gold medal
in the Ball Handling Event
And me…do you think they give medals
For being a good spectator?
Mission Control, We Have Lift Off
These winter days can get boring
So here I am doing my Alice Kramdem impersonation
The Shadow Of A Dane
I know you are all grown up now my friend
But there is a piece of advice Fenway and I
Would like to pass on to you
When standing in the shadow of a Dane
Always keep your eyes open and if he tells
You he wants the ball
Give it to him
Or as Johnny said
Run like Hell
Squirrel Patrol
Fenway and I were very fortunate to get all we wanted for Christmas
We got lots of toys I could chase and Fenway enjoyed all the treats
But the best gift we got was hanging out with our little buddy from California
She helped me keep an eye out for squirrels
Suggestions
I ran my ball past the Forest Person a few times
To make sure he knew what I liked
I'd be happy with anything I can chase and bring back
He doesn't say a lot but
I think he got the message
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!
