Summer School

Last year I wrote a post called 'Summer School,' because I was taking a class at puppy school. It was hard work, but I got to have a lot of fun, too.

This year I'll be studying again - my family has a lot to do to get ready for my little sister to arrive, and my task is to learn better manners when I'm walking on my leash.

But my summer studies aren't why I wanted to write a new 'Summer School' post this year. I'm calling this post 'Summer School' in honor of my new friends in Room 25 at in Missouri!

Dear friends, I heard you were reading my blog, and I got your letter!

I love playing in the mud!! Don't let my white paws fool you - I like digging in the dirt, jumping in mud puddles, and rolling in anything that doesn't smell too good. That includes mud, worms, even dirty laundry. There's only one thing I don't like about playing in smelly, dirty things like mud.

Can you guess what it is?

Yep. Bath time.

I know, I said I like water, but bath time is totally different! Sure, I get treats when I get a bath, but I also have to let Dad get me all soapy and then dry me off. It's a bummer. At least in the summer I can rinse off in the pool sometimes and don't always have to get a bath. Thank goodness for the swimming pool!

So, friends in Room 25, I hope that you are having a fun summer! What are you going to study? I'll keep you updated while I learn my manners and take time for some vacations as well. I hope you'll write back to me sometimes about your adventures, too!
