Free country?

Last night I was very bored and I made it clear to mommy that I was bored. So she put the leash on me and took me out. When we were on the porch, she said "Boonie, today we'll go where ever you want to and you can do what ever you want." So I was naturally happy. I hopped down the stairs. The ground was wet and cool from the rains and the breeze made the leaves fly and we chased the leaves for barely a few seconds when she started off - "Boonie, no you are too close to the edge, you will fall off" or "Boonie NO do not chase that widdle boy and scare him" or "Boonie... DON'T DRINK FROM THE PUDDLE ITS DIRTY WATER" or "Boonie don't run across the street there be cars coming" or "Boonie don't go under the bushes, it's dark and there be snakes". Where is the "Where ever you want what ever you want" part here? I really don't get it. Mommy is bonkers, she is! *Pouts*

Tango

Mommy and I went on a new route for a walk the other day and who did we see? A beagle named Tango. He was tied up near the maid's door. I ignored him at first, I pretended to be sniffing at more important things and refused to go near him. But he stood on his hind legs and waved his front legs at me beckoning me to come closer. I still pretended to not care. Then mommy turned and said, "Ok let's go home if you don't want to play", and I slowly walked towards Tango and sniffed his nose. He sniffed mine too and he sniffed my tummy. I stood with my paws on his nose and we played for a bit. Then mommy said it was really time for us to go back home and he had to go for his walkies too. We both whined and cried but both our mommies were stern. Mommy said if I behave and not bite her too much she might...just might let me go see Tango again.

The bad bad doctor

So, I was minding my own business in the garden and playing with Timon when it started raining. So me, mommy, Timon and Timon's daddy rushed into our house. Behind us came another man I had not see earlier. Me, being the friendly kinds, wagged my tail and made him feel welcome. He seemed nice at first, he rubbed behind my ears and patted my head and said I was a good boy. I was even more happy and I gave him kisses. And then he pulls out this big needle and Timon's daddy holds me down and prrrriiiiccckkkkk the needle entered me. I squealed and wriggled but the two strong men held me down. And when it was over I ran to mommy and hid near her legs. I don't like that bad mean doctor. And I am angwy with Timon's daddy for cheating me like that. So, this is me after the big vaccination.

Timon

I made a new friend, Timon. He is a big big doggy. He is waaaay bigger than me. When I first saw him, I was a widdle scared because he was so big. But yesterday, he came to our yard to play with me and I growled at him and he whimpered. Just then, there I knew it that I might be small but I am more powerful than him. His daddy held him with a leash and I ran around him again and again jumping and hopping at him. I even bit his ear and he gwunted. I hid in the bushes and jumped out of him and he jumped back. And he licked my nose for me. I bit his tail and his daddy said "Wait till Timon opens his big mouth, he can swallow you whole" and I squealed and hid behind mommy and jumped at him again. Ooh it was so much fun. Hope he comes again today to play. Mommy said she might invite Timon and his daddy for tea if they come. Yippee I can show him my room and my bowl and my toys. I hope he doesn't take them for his own. Would he?
