Hi Everyone,
HOT! HOT! HOT! It must be Summer? When we were at the Old Mission Lighthouse today someone walked by me and said – you have a fur coat on? Well, DAH! He was right, but I couldn’t do anything about it. Some nice lady called me “King” – she was close! But another guy thought I was part Irish Setter – boy was he wrong! He thought I had their color which I do! It was too hot to walk on the beach (in the sand), and it was a long way over a lot of rocks to get to the water. We got back in the car, YIPEE – I was happy just to go for a ride with my face in the AC vent.
Now that Summer is here there will not be a Bible Study class until fall, but Dad said I can use his daily devotion (Tabletalk). As you can see by the picture of my first lesson, I now wear glasses? I didn’t want to admit I needed glasses, they make everything SO big. But Dad said I won a spot on the bulletin board at Church for being such a good dog?
Summer has brought some strange people and things around the yard. Dad and Mom will never make good farmers! Mom was working in the vegetable garden picking leaves off of the tomato plants? When I stepped in the garden to help, she shooed me away? She said she was picking the “suckers” off of the plants?? Even I know that suckers swim in water, they don’t crawl on tomato plants! Then you won’t believe what Dad did – he put cages around the plants? Did you ever hear of suckers living in cages? I guess the heat gets to everyone some days?
Some guys came to put in a fence where the trees damaged by the winter storm had to be dug out. It “was” a big fence? When Mom got home and saw it she called the Company? They told Dad they couldn’t build the fence the way we wanted it? Dad believed them – BUT – Mom didn’t! While Mom left to play golf, (and cool down from the fence jolt). The Company called and left a message to call them back? Well, the next day Mom called??? Then, the next day the guys came back and tore out the fence, before the concrete set-up too much? When the new parts come in, we will have a new fence – AGAIN!
I like all of the shopping this time of year. I get to go to all the nurserys and parking lots that have flowers! There are no signs that say “No Dogs Allowed” – because everything is outside. Check out the picture of me with all of the flowers – don’t “I” look good? While wandering down some isles, a woman said “Ruby Cavalier”? She didn’t really know my name (I have had that happen before), but when she found out my name is “Ruby” – she won’t forget me! Being the people person I am, I like it when strangers want to pet me, and sometimes they have treats! But, this woman picked me up to look at my chest? Then she insulted me – I have too much white on my chest for Westminster? Well, I don’t know a Westminster, and further more, I don’t want to know one! If they don’t like me the way I am – TOO BAD!
Love,
Ruby
