BOBO: I feel like there's always a shadow, following me around...

COCOA: This summer, I enjoyed sleeping,

sleeping,

sleeping,

and also sleeping.

BOBO: Didn't I mention I didn't like water? Well, we went on a "long journey" and we were in the car so long I thought we'd end up at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Instead we went to a house I've only been to once, except this time it was empty instead of full of people and kids. I didn't mind - it was relaxing but didn't have a fence so I had to hold my pee until someone took me out. Just like the old days.

Anyway, while we were there Mom & Dad made me get into what I thought might be a type of car but it was on water instead! I was afraid I'd fall off or that I'd get wet, but it ended up being pretty fun. I just hung out in the shade and felt the breeze. I got kind of wobbly a few times, but I liked looking over the edge.

The only bad part about the weekend was the storm. It was bad, and I was scared. I have no idea why my crazy parents like these things! They're dangerous! I bet a tree could have fallen on the house, or it could have been struck by lightning!

COCOA: Just when I started liking the car.....we went for the longest ride ever! I was ok, but did NOT enjoy it. We ended up someplace strange and I didn't know if was our new house or not. I was also really confused b/c I couldn't find the little door to go outside and use the bathroom, so when I had to go I just went where I was. What? What was I supposed to do? Hold it?

I liked the rug and the hard, cold floors and the porch so I could watch everything. I also liked the ride we took in the car they called a "boat"! I liked this a lot better than the other car because it was open and I could feel the wind and it was on water so I could have escaped if I wanted. I thought about jumping off into the water but changed my mind b/c Bobo refused to go with me. Mom & Dad jumped off and it looked like fun.

We finally got back in the car and stayed in it for a long time again. When I got back out, we were home. Boy, was I glad to see my little door again!

BOBO: I'm a pretty nice guy, and I only truly hate a few things. I hate cats (evil) and I hate anything that makes my fur wet. I hate the beach, the rain, baths, anything. So, why would Mom think it was ok to take me for a walk when it was obviously raining outside? Was this some sort of punishment? I protested, but was overruled.

COCOA: Water water water, I love the water! I like to drink it and eat it and swim in it! It cools me off and makes me all sloppy and if I want to dry off I can just roll all over the carpet. Bobo is such a grump! He acts like he was tortured or something. He's just sitting around all wet and mopey. I'm going to go drink his water - ha!

BOBO: Things have been calm around here lately. Cocoa isn't eating as much, but she still gets in trouble more than I do. I love it when Mom & Dad teach her tricks. She's finally figuring it out, and I've figured out that if I stand nearby I ALSO get a treat...for doing absolutely nothing.

COCOA: I admit it. I kind of like the car now. If I ride in the seat with Bobo and I look outside the window it isn't nearly as bad. We've gone in the car a few times, and didn't end up anywhere scary. As long as we come back home, I guess I can handle the ride.

BOBO: I had a suspicion that Cocoa's food was more delicious than mine, so I decided to give it a taste while Mom wasn't looking. Sure enough, it was more meat and less veggies. I watched Mom when she re-filled our bowls. Cocoa's is supposed to be for growth. I guess b/c she's just a kid. Mine is called "Healthy Weight". Hmm. I might be mistaken, but I think Mom & Dad are insinuating that I'm fat.

COCOA: "NO" is the bad word. I know what the bad word means. Mom & Dad say the bad word when they want me to stop whatever I'm doing. They say the bad word when I try to give them a tooth kiss or if I want to cross the street by myself. They use the bad word on Bobo too, especially when he puts my whole head in his mouth.
P.S. Mom told me I am 7 months old today!

BOBO: Ugh! She keeps following me around everywhere. I think we're all on edge because of the loud noises, but she won't leave me alone for a second! I had to jump up on the couch and have Mom & Dad protect me, even though I hate being a lap dog.

COCOA: First, I fought with my felt chew toy. Then I found a string left over from my rope toy, and fought with it. Now, I am bored.

July 4, 2008

BOBO: The 4th of July. It is always a wonderful and terrible day. Today, I turned 8 human years old, which makes me ancient in dog years. I still feel like a spring chicken, so I guess I'm doing ok. Regardless, I always get super-pampered on this day. This year, I had a delicious steak. Yum! But I knew in the back of my mind what was going to happen later. Later, Mom & Dad will leave me alone in the house and there will be scary, noisy explosions everywhere! Needless to say, I'm freaked out all evening.

COCOA: Bobo got people food to eat, and I got ignored! I decided to eat the following: my rope toy, 2 sticks, my blue chew toy, my stuffed ring, and a pinecone.
