Minnie's Musings

Hi people, it's me, Minnie! My mom is letting me write this post today because she says that I have so many things happening on my social calendar that she just can't keep track of them! So today I am taking over the blog, and I just can't wait to tell you about what I've been up to!


First of all, this weekend my mom dragged me on TWO walks that I did NOT enjoy. You might be thinking, but Minnie always loves a stroll, tugging her mom down the street, and jumping up on people she sees!  Well let me tell you, I still love all of those things, but I DON'T love them when the temperature is over 90!  I kept panting as fast as I could, I tried only walking in the shade, and I even stopped a couple of times, but my mom didn't seem to notice! I want to ask everyone out there, how would YOU feel if you were sporting a rather thick (and beautiful, I must add) coat of fur when it's summer? It is not fun!


Although my walks were not up to my normal level of fun, I did get to go into a Farmer's Market with my mom, where I got to sniff all kinds of fruits, vegetables, cookies, and pies. My mom bought a huge bunch of bananas because I decided I had to lick them. Well do you blame me? They smelled good!


I also got to go to a pool this weekend, but no one let me swim!  Apparently last week all of my fur clogged up the filter or something. Whatever that means! I was just trying to cool off!  I'm still a little scared of the water anyway. But don't tell anyone!


Yesterday was my cousin Jack's 11th birthday! And guess what? We got to have CAKE! I never had doggie birthday cake before. I licked my slice up in one slurp.  Jack took a little longer eating his, so I ate the rest of it for him. It looked like he needed help! I also gave him a cheese and bacon flavored bone, but he didn't want to share it with me. No fair!


Also yesterday my dad turned on this thing called the "sprinkler." I don't know what it does, but it sure is fun! I tried to bite, chew, and leap through the water coming out, but it kept moving around! Then after playing in the sprinkler, I got a bath. I wasn't really happy about that because I look a little silly with my fur matted down!  But I did get a lot of tastes of my shampoo, and it sure tasted good!


I also got to go on quite a few car rides this weekend. Man do I love riding in the car! I love to stick my whole head out the window and feel the breeze, but my mom and dad always yell at me to get back in the car.  I just wanted to feel the wind in my ears, sheesh!  I really love to jump around in the backseat and try to climb in the front seat with my parents. They don't let me come up there with them though! I don't see why not! I am a very fun girl!  People even like to wave at me when they pull up next to us on the road. I wish some of those people would toss me some treats, for crying out loud! It's not easy trying to let your lips flap in the wind when your mom is yanking your collar to get you back in the car!


Anyways, I gotta go get ready for my vet appointment tonight. I just love going to the vet because I get pets, kisses, and TREATS!!

Me and Jack at his birthday party!
