And the sun shone down, and life was once again as it should be...

The sun is back!!

First thing this morning, I woke Mom up to tell her this. It was an important piece of news and I just couldn't believe she was sleeping thru it!

After her morning ritual of showering (sheesh...I'm sure glad I don't hafta take a bath every day!), we headed over to Fiesta Island. Mom said no beach cuz the water gets full of cooties after a big rainstorm, and no dog park cuz it would be too muddy, so Fiesta Island it was.

And guess what I did when we got there.

I ran

and ran


and ran


and ran


until I couldn't run no more.


so then I plopped down in this nice comfy spot and took a rest.


it was a good morning.

  4. heehee...I guess "cooties" is an American expression. Usually its used when you are little to express that something has germs. I think when you are 5 years old, most boys (or kids of the opposite sex) have cooties.

    here's the Wikepedia definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooties

    In this case, I was referring to all the bacteria in the ocean water. Bacteria levels are always high after a storm, because of run-off. Its recommended that people not go in the water, and I think that should apply to dogs too.

    Here in America we even have a kids game called "cootie". http://www.boardgames.com/cootie.html, no doubt some grown ups image of what a cootie would look like.
