Hey Everybody!

We read on another post where this message needed some stuff. Well, we're here, and hope the rest of you will be shortly! This has been too much fun and we can't let it die.

It's a hot summer here, and we've been spending most of our time inside, cept when our mom makes us go out to do our business or for a walk. We like walking, only last time she made us stay on the other side of the road from the duck pond. Said something about just having a bath....we don't understand that at all! All we wanted to do was go for a swim, and she about yanked our poor necks off, keeping us away from that pond. You know, since then, she hasn't walked us near that place. Whew! Our mom just doesn't understand.

Mom admitted to us that she is going away AGAIN in August. That nice lady, Kim, is coming to take care of us, but when is our mom going to take us with her? She said she is going to meet some of her new friends. First she will meet one buddy that you guys don't know, who has THREE dogs. Our mom's favorite is Trapper (as in Captain Von Trapp), and he came from the Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue, who sent mom enough money to make this trip. These people also have a human girl, who is the same age as our Helen, and two more dogs, Quinna, who is just like us too, plus another one, Jazzi. THEN, the big scoop is that Mom and Helen are going to see Star and Cody and their mom!! We can't believe it! Why can't we go? We can hold it a LONG time. I'm sure we wouldn't be any problem on the airplane. We could sit right next to our Mom and Helen.
Then, they said they might even get to meet the lady who started this whole Pet Talk thing, Karen. Wow! Would there even be a Pet Talk if it weren't for puppies like us? And I guess we have to include those cats....

Well, anyway, Mom is already feeling her guilt, so we're getting lots of extra rubs and treats. And she's giving us green beans with our food! How great!

Lilly has a question. Do you think she should get Mom to take her in and have her weighed, just in case she has lost a few pounds? We are having a big problem with this food thing. Mom doesn't feed us like she used to. We thought maybe she would lighten up if Lilly had lost a little weight. What do you think?

Cinder and Smokey, our mom is in love with you. For Heaven Sake! We like your picture, but she hasn't even tried to put a picture of us on her signature like that. She hasn't even let us do our own thing on Pet Talk. We have to get her to let us on the computer! We think you are pretty cool too...especially with the bandanas on your necks. Lilly likes to have a bandana, and Mom got two really neat ones from the Golden Retriever people, but Honey keeps on chewing it off.

Well, we must go. Its time to go bark outside now. But we miss everybody. Mom has been giving us English lessons all summer, so we talk much better than we used to.

High Paws to everyone! Lilly has learned this trick. Honey is too stubborn!

Love,
Honey and Lilly, taking turns at the keyboard
