I don't know if you can tell by this picture or not, but mom gave me a bath. I'm not happy..

Mom wasn't happy with me this morning.  She left me out so I woudn't do my duty in the house.  Guess what was out there?  A big deer!  I got so excited and since mom didn't have me on a leash I chased it out of our yard and into the woods.  I was a good boy and came home in just a few minutes.  But mom didn't reward me at all!  She yelled at me, she picked me up and then she discovered to accomplish the great feat of getting that deer our of our yard, I had to conquer a moat that seems to be everywhere in our yard.  I braved all that mushy, muddy water and I chased that mean deer out of our yard. But mom didn't seem to care, she was just concerned that when she picked me up I was wet, I mean I was dripping wet. Well, I worked hard chasing the deer through all that stuff. Instead mom took a towel, dried me off and threatened me with a bath later in the day, when she'd be fully awake.  If you know my mom, she will go through with her threats, and here I am, clean but very unhappy! 
(Penny got a bath too, and she didn't do anything, I guess she must have smelled) 

Have a great weekend folks!

Love,
Leonard

So, Clara has been here 3 1/2 months.  She is officially part of our family. She seems to feel pretty comfortable around here.  That makes me happy, I like when dogs feel a part of the family.  Now my thoughts on cats, well. let's just skip that comment.

I am not sure Clara's thoughts on cats, we haven't really talked about it alot. I didn't want to burden her right away.  But I did catch Frankie trying to kiss up to her, like she does to Eve.  But I'm not sure if Clara was too happy about it.  Eve doesn't care, but something tells me Clara may feel more like I do about the cats. I have to pull Clara aside and see what her real thoughts are on cats.

 That really doesn't look like a happy face to me!  What do you think?
