Hiking

I went on a hike with my mom yesterday and it was so fun. We don't really go far.  Just behind our property is this wide open land and we walked there and hiked down a hill and then walked further.  I am the best guard dog. I walk ahead several yards to check it all out and make sure mom is safe to go there I run back to check in and make sure she is coming. Sometimes I just stop and look back to make sure she is still coming.  Every time I look back at her she tells me how damn cute I am.  Hiking I'm even cute can you believe that?  I keep the trail pretty safe.  On the way back mom must hate this little hill that she calls a mountain because she sighs when she gets to the bottom of it she looks up the big bad mountain and curses to Jebus then half way up she starts to get mad.  Of course by then I am at the top waiting for her.  Geez she just isn't as fast I am.  But I wait.  I will take photos of our hike next time. It is quiet and pretty.  Mostly quiet.  On the way back a guy on a dirt bike came buzzing back there but I didn't care.  He can drive all over the west and I just follow my trail back home.  Home is where I belong.  Home is where my bed is and my food and best of all my girlfriend.

Did I mention I haven't felt good for a few days?  I have had a bad tummy and the runs. I haven't been eating as much of my food as usual. Mom hasn't been home to dish it up.  When mom feeds me she makes fun of me and calls me roley poley.  Today I feel better and mom fed me two night in a row. When I don't get enough to eat I dabble at the morbid rations of dry food the other dogs are subjected to.  It is the nastiest stuff I don't know how they can eat it.  I was real hungry to stoop to such desperate measures.

I like to sleep by the open window in the bedroom while mom is doing stuff like surfing the internet.  Eventually I always end up in bed with mom.  Spooning her and breathing my quiet hum that seems to make her go to sleep so peacefully.  I think she loves me as much as I love her.  I think tomorrow we are going to make out.
