Not wind or rain or cold will stop me

Check it out! Yesterday my human female was outside planting an address pole. I knew I had to help her. It is my job.  She gave me gobs of food to distract me.  And it worked!  She is a grand female!

Today I had tires squealing as I walked my perimeter. And I decided I was tired of the dogs always taking food from me.  So I did something about it: I chased the little annoying dog.  I heard my female laugh as I charged the little dog and she thought she could stand up to me.  Then she tucked tail and ran.

I am collecting quite a few people in my club. Today three teenagers were talking very thuggish as they walked. Then they saw me and stopped.  Suddenly, they dropped their thug talk and acted like teenage boys. I have that affect on people. I cause traffic jams and parking issues. But my favorite is the little children.  They do not know if they should scream and cry or laugh and touch me.

It is great being me.

Can't get enough!

It is so wonderful to have this weather!  I spend hours outside. I travel my route and stop briefly when people are at the fence.  Yesterday someone came to cut my grass.  It was pretty tall but I loved it because I could hide.  People thought I was a rock until I moved. When they were finished with the yard, they left the gate open.  I did not go near it.  Since my last experience walking out the gate, I do not see myself repeating that!  Too scary!  My human closed the gate, patted my head, and wandered away.  She truly knows me. 

Spring is in the Air!

I love Spring. It is the time of year where I can show off my new size, clear my home of any loose dirt, and see if there are new foods for me to crunch. It is truly a good life.

I heard my female human talking to a man today. He stood at the fence, staring at me for a very long time. He called me a desert tortoise!  The insult! I am much more superior than one of those. *sniff* I ran to her. She has treats for me.  Today she had corn on the cob.  Yesterday she had strawberries and blueberries. And my male human was pulling weeds in bare feet. I saw his little toes and wanted a bite but he is very spry for his size and got away.

I scared one person today. My grass is quite high in the front yard.  Where it touches the spruce tree, it creates a cave. A man came to the gate and started talking to my human.  I had to be near her and came out of hiding. He jumped back from the gate, clutching his chest. I do love dramatic people.  Then he giggled like a little boy. It was hilarious! 

My female human cleaned the back yard for me so I no longer have an obstacle course to get where I want to go.  She said she will move the dirt from my home opening so I do not hit the swing when I come out.  I love my yard and home.  

Finally, because I have not written (winter, you know), I have new room mates. Cats.  Who knew I would like having cats live in my home?  The female human thinks the cats will have kittens down there.  I hope not.  I would hate to squish a little furball.
