I learned something this summer that I did not know before: I do not like hot weather. I do not like it at all. Daddy or Mommy would try to take me on walks, but we could not go very far. I would get very tired and we would have to turn around. Daddy and I would play fetch, my favorite game; but I would get tired fast then, too. It was not fun to be hot.
My allergies made it hard. The nice lady at Doctor Debbie's office said my pills should not make me sleepy. But I wanted to sleep a lot. Mommy noticed that, when Doctor Debbie said, "Give Dewey less pills now," I started to wake up. That is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing: I am more peppy than I was in the summer. The bad thing (for Mommy): I went from being a surprise Big Boy to a naughty baby again. Sometimes. Sometimes, I remember when I was a Big Boy - and how that made Mommy sigh - and I do Big Boy things.
Besides, I am not really a baby anymore. I am two years old.Oh! That's right. I have not told you about my birthday party! I like birthdays. I get treats and toys when I have birthdays (I think. I have had only two in my entire life.).
Mommy and Daddy had a little family party for me in our back yard on my birthday. I wore a silly hat, because it made Mommy laugh. I did not care if I looked silly. I was having too much fun to know or care. Guess what! I got cookies, a big bone, a new floppy Frisbee (that is it, in the picture), and a new silly fetching toy. (See? Even with a silly hat, I look cute.) Daddy threw the Frisbee, Mommy took pictures, and I had a lot of fun. I played until I got tired, then I plopped down and chewed on my bone.
Mommy forgot that I am a saucy labrador boy who can jump. She left the sack of cookies on the top of the big box (hot tub) and forgot that I could get them myself. I leaped right up there and helped myself to a snack. I wanted to eat that whole bag of cookies, but Mommy did not want me to get a tummy ache. Darn. I'm fast. But Mommy's faster, when somebody needs to help me do the right thing.
That wasn't the only fun thing this summer. We also got to go to the mountains. I like going there. It is cool, and it has interesting smells. I sniffed. I met people and other puppies. I enjoyed sunny times with my parents.
It is already starting to get cooler. That means we can go on more walks and I can go longer and enjoy my time with my family. Mommy says that snow will come down from the sky soon. She does not think that is a good thing, but I do. I like to play in the cold and snow.
