Hi, ebberbuddie ~ It's me, Cinder, the now *quiet one* wiff more tails ~

We been Reel Busy this month wiff our weekend trips to see GranMom in Picksberg every Sundee! Got this Therapy Dawg thing down almost pat now . Dad warshes his outside skins an our bamdannaz Saturdee nite and we go sleepy purdy urlee. Inna mornin we get brushed, nails chopped off (wish Dad would stop wiffa *choppin* ~ they're gettin awful *short*), jump inna traktor kar an motor over to GranMom's Village. Bein the Senior Mutt, I get ta go in furst, leavin the SmokeMan ta guard the kar unner sum trees inna staff parkin lot. After I do rounds inna Health Center, Dad duz the switch an takes SmokeMutt in for his turn. Mum's Day wuz a liddel ruff on me kuz I furgotted I had that durn Zapper! Collar on and started shout*barkin when Dad walked inna the Village wiffa Smoke ~ I started shoutin an ignored the Zaps! Well Dad stomped back an made a *justment* onna collar an then trotted off agin. I started rite up wiffa shoutin ~ got in six or mebbee ten good *yaps* fore it REELEE started ta *hurt* onna bark box. Smoke told me later that Dad had cranked the collar upta 2 outa 3 onna Zap! dial. Since then I been in *quiet mode* wiffa collar on!

After GranMom eats her dinner grub Dad takes her to the Vesper Service an we hang out inna kar. Then we get hitched up to the y-thingie an Both go back inside ta do our g'nite rounds to all the roomz. We alluz stay late enuff to run into the krankie sekuritee guyz while the're lockin up the outside dorz. Seems the HeadMan inna Health Center hearded bout the *hassel* they gave us a few visits ago an he passed the *wurd* that we were OK Kids and ta leave us alone. Dad jest *grinnz* when they give us durtee lookz .

This last long weekent wuz purdy special, cuz we did an obernite in Picksberg! Dad found a liddel motel place that gave us a bunkroom to sleep in after Dad gave away a liddel munnie an showed the guy a letter fromma surance man that said our homeowner's policy wuld cover anything we busted or pee'd on . We got a reelee BIG bigbed to share and eberthing went OK till sumbudee inna next room got up an left at dark:thirty an *skairt* me. I woked up an started sum shout*barkin afore the Zapper! collar and Dad hollerin *QUIET* got me kalmed down. Dad made the owner guy spekt the room fore we left and he said we could cum back agin ennie time, so I think we'll do summore obernites.

Mundee we hadda watch the burds an sqwurrels fer a while cuz Dad took GranMom upta her partment where us Dawgs aren't allowed to go. But after they got back to the Health Center Dad took us in for the hole day on our y-thingie. We did a lotta visits inside and took GranMom fer a long ride around the kampus inna bigwheel chair. Dad wuz gonna hook us up ta help pull the chair, but GranMon said she'd walk furst!

We went shoppin for G-Mom while she got her dinner grub so Dad stopped fer a burger an fryz. Putted the bag rite onna seat. I neber had fryz afore, so's I leaned over the armrest an grabbed a BIG mouf full while he wuz parkin the kar. Had to share wiff SmokeMan cuz I had so many I couldn't chomp wiffout spillin sum onna back seat. Almost had em gone fore Dad pulled out the fryz pouch an saw it wuz haf emptee! Phunnie how he dint share mucha the burger wiff us?

After dinner we did a lotta room visits wiff GranMom along to say *hi* to all our other GranMomz an GranPawz. All the WhitePant Gurlz know us by name and don't seem to mind our trottin all ober the joint. Most all of the Grannyz an Gramps know our names too. When we finally got reddie to leave and did our last rounds, ther wuz a hole buncha G-Momz sittin outside their roomz inna bigwheelz atta end of wun hall wavin an hollerin at us to cum back an say g'nite. Summa the WitePants were there too, cuz the Grannyez wunt go ta bed till we came back fer a last g-bye! Our GranMom wuz purdy well bushed out when we finally got her back to her own room.

It wuz midnite fore we got back to the Home Ranch! Smokey wuz so tired he slept onna back seat the hole way home. I did my co-pilot thing an stood wiff my fronts onna arm rest an helped Dad drive most of the way ~ ownlee took a cupla short napz.

Big sweat now is the Ranch grass ~ wiff alla rain an bein gone when the sunball wuz werkin, the grass is way past the tummie-tiklin stage! Dad sez the nayburz will think we took up farmin. I know that OddJob, the desill traktor that Dad drives all over the yard to eat the grass, will be barkin an blowin black smoke out his stack the hole way!

Well thatz our Tail fer tanite. Been purdy quiet here on the page ~ letz hear from all our other FurBuddiez ~ tell yer Momz you need sum puter time to pass sum yarns!

Wag em if ya got em; otherwize jest shake yer butts! Luve to All!
