July 2012
Mom, dad and Katie went on vacation. They took dad's friend Bob along too.  Dad and Bob left almost a week before mom and Katie. Dad and Bob climbed some mountains, I heard dad say they climbed to the high point in Arizona and then the high point in New Mexico and they went to a baseball game in Arizona. They saw the Arizona Diamonbacks play the Seattle Mariners.    Then mom and katie took us to our vacation spot.  (We got to go to the vet for the week, but you know, it wasn't too bad, they didn't give us any shots, or medicines. There was alot of activities during the day, so we were all so tired, Penny, Jay and I slept well at night.  The only drawback, is they gave us a bath, oh well, we did smell good to go home).
Mom, Katie, Dad and Bob talked like they did alot of touring.  They mentioned Frank Lloyd Wright's house, Scenic route 89A, Jerome Arizona (they talked about a Kaleidoscope Store that they really liked in jerome).  They talked about Route 66, Standing on the corner in Winslow Az, the Petrified Forest, the Painted dessert, Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and even Las Vegas. They talked about how they were in 4 states at one time. How do you do that?  Oh, I just heard dad say it's the corner where 4 states meet, so you can stand in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Arizona all at the same time.  That is unusual, I am sure I'll never get to do that! Oh well.    They kept mentioning it was hot.  We were in air conditioning most the time, which was awesome, so it wasn't hot for us!  Oh well, that is what I picked up listing to my family to figure out where they were for more then a week! 

My girl Katie is now a high school graduate!  I'm so proud of her!

On Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 Katie graduated 

from Boyertown Area Senior High School.

She said there were 548 other kids that graduated.  

I wonder how many of those

kids have faithful animals like Katie has?   

Katie wore the yellow stole for Future Business Leasers of America, the white one for National Honor Society, a yellow/blue cord for Newspaper writing and then she added a green cord for community service.  My kid Katie is a busy girl, but she always has time to love us animals.

We are gonna have to plan a graduation party to celebrate her accomplishments!

I love my Katie!

This is my kid, Katie.  She went to her senior prom.  Isn't her dress just beautiful?  She looks like a princess. I think she must have been the prettiest one at the prom!  I think she is so special!    

No, it's not a dead cat it's just Sam out there sunning herself! What a cat!  What a relaxing life she has!  I really wanted to just jump on her and scare the crap out of her, but I was a good boy and just laughed at the silly cat!

Here is my kid Katie! I love my mommy and daddy, but I love my Katie too!  Last night she came home from work and her and I just hung out on the sofa.  I'm not sure where my sister Penny was, but that's okay. I needed bonding time with my kid Katie!  Just me and her!  So much fun!

Have a great weekend. Mom told me there were no plans for the weekend so I'm glad we can all hang out together!  I like this family that adopted me!  . 

This kid at our house, Katie, she is pretty special.  I mean, we all love her, but I think alot of outsiders love her too.  The other Saturday night, April 28th, Mom, Dad and Katie got all dressed up. They family went out for the evening. Of course, no one bothered to take any of us dogs along (as usual).   They came back with flowers and certificates and kept talking about all these special people that were honored tonight.  They talked about a citizen of the year, educator of the year, police person, fireman and high school senior. I think Katie got the Outstanding High School Senior award, she doesn't seem to fit any of the other categories. Also, that is what I read on the plaque that they brought home with them, so I am sure she was the outstanding high school senior. I found this picture in the family computer. I thought maybe you'd enjoy it! Isn't our Katie pretty?   I can't wait to see her in her prom dress.  She brought that in the house tonight, but had it hiding in a bag. I guess we'll see it later.

Last Sunday was a miserable day. It was raining so much.  Most of the day Penny and I were in our cage, from what I heard mom say, they had to go to Philadelphia so Katie could get some kind of award.  I think mom called it a Gold Girl Scout Award or Girl Scout Gold Award.  Either way, they ventured out in the nasty rainy weather, I was very concerned for their safety but they came home safely with a bunch of things. Then in the evening Katie locked us out of the living room.  She wanted to set all her certificates on the floor and didn't want us to walk on them.  All she would have to do is ask, and I wouldn't have walked on them.  Oh you know what, Penny would never have understood, so I guess it's okay that she locked us out of the living room while she took some pictures. I found this picture on their computer. I guess this is the picture mom took of Katie and all her certificates.
