HI!

Look who I found on the edge of  the Pond!   He wants to come home with me.

Should I put him in my pocket?

More Trouble at Paradise Pond

That's right.  Piranhas.  Wow!  And to think I almost ventured there.  Whew!

My Auntie Dee Dee....

Excuse my "crazy eyes" - this is my Auntie Dee.

Them and her  is going out to dinner tomorrow night at some fish place in Evanston where she lives.

Do you see the family resemblance?

They are going to see the fireworks later at her hotel but I can't go cuz its too noisy and I have to stay home.  It was really hot today but I still got a good walk by Montrose Harbor.

He thought he saw a bird baby in distress but when he went back to find it (100 degrees!) there was nobody there.  Hope his/her mom came to the rescue.

I may be wrong but.....

Just as me and my science geek buddy were walking away from the Delightful Pond o'Death I turned around and saw something.  Something BIG!!!

Do you think it might be "you know who?"

YIKES!!  And to think I almost went swimming there!  What would have become of me?  Would I end up like Jonah??

Oh-oh!

Went down to the shore of that pond where I met up with some scientist dude who was testing the water.  He fished out his thermometer.

Started having second thoughts about jumping in.  Completely melted.  That might have been my adorable fist of fury.

Dare I do it?

They took me out for a car ride yesterday and a pretty decent walk but it was SO frigging hot!!  I never saw it so hot before.

  It freaked me out. 

When I got back home I was so tired I could hardly muster a good bark and, as I didn't get a nap, I was so exhausted I couldn't sleep and when I did I dreamed of a beautiful pool of cool water nestled in a little vale in the forest. 

All of sudden, me with my long flowing locks and "waterfall" ear hair, decided to jump in!!

Bear Kicking Back

Don't think I could handle it in this heat.  But then Bear is a pretty unique fellow.

Here's mud in your eye!
