Storms

Hi friends!
Hope everyone is staying dry. Mommy reads on her book-face thing that some people are having really high temperatures and droughts. That's hard to believe because all it's done here is rain, rain, rain. And then rain a little more. Then the sun will come out, but it's only teasing because then the rain comes back. The weather people said it's the wettest April ever.
Not only it is raining, but it's storming. I normally don't do much for thunderstorms, just nap under the table or bed. But all these storms are taking their toll on this puppy dog. Mom and that Daddy-guy even let me up on the couch because I was worried and hopped up on my own and hid in the blanket. Then I snuggled and gave them my best "sad face" and it worked!















This is what our forecast is. The severe weather is really not good. That's when I get really scared. Mom just hopes I'm not alone when it's like that.
However, I hope everyone will keep our friends in Tennessee and Alabama in your thoughts and prayers. Tennessee got it bad last night and Alabama is bad today. Everywhere is flooding and that's like one giant, dirty bath. I don't like clean baths so dirty ones are even worse!

On finding God

He is, after all, a backwards doG :)
I went to church yesterday. I've been a couple of times before, once for the Blessing of the Pets (yay!) and once to help Mom and Dad do something with flowers at Christmas. There's a polished concrete floor that is so tricky! It looks just like WATER!! AHHHHHHH!!!! I hate water! I wouldn't walk on it for anything until Mom and Dad showed me it wasn't really water.
I went to church again yesterday to help Mom build this labyrinth thingy.















This is the entrance















(see the floor on the other side? WATERY!!)


Mom says people with use this labyrinth to help them pray on Good Friday. I don't know about all that, but the concrete floor wasn't as scary this time AND I got to go through a drive-thru, so I think it was a Good Tuesday. Maybe Good Friday is when Mom stays home ALL DAY and plays with me! Paws crossed!
BTW, I never did see God at church, but I did see some really nice trees to say hi to, so it's kind of the same thing.

I'm a Good Boy

I almost went adventuring today! Mommy and Dad had the TV Show man come fix the TV shows (every channel was black and had no sound. That's boring). Since he had to do some stuff to my yard, they unlocked the gates.
Well, today was stormy and very windy. When Mommy got home from work, she let me out to go potty like normal. She came inside to do some stuff in the kitchen and realized she had lost sight of me. She came out just to check since she's a worry-wort like that. She says it's because she's afraid the rabbit that sometimes visits our yard will be around and I'll find it and try to play with it. Silly Mommy. Why would I hurt the Easter Bunny that brings me presents?
Anyway, when she came outside, she called me and came moseying over. That's when she realized the gate was WIDE OPEN! OhNoes! She is very thankful that I know my boundaries and that I come when called (unless there's a good smell or I know she doesn't have a treat). I told her I could never leave her. She needs me to protect her from that Daddy-Guy.








P.S. Here's me checking out some stuff my parents have been doing to my yard. It's alright, guess. I don't really get why they want to sit in those chairs. I prefer the sunbeams on the grass.

Help Needed!

Hi everyone!
I need a favor. There's a puppy dog that needs our help. His name is Lennox and he lives in Ireland. I don't quite know where that is, but Mom said it's way far away. Like farther than we walk on long walks.
Anyway, he got taken away from his family because he looks like a "pit bull" and Northern Ireland has Breed-Specific Laws against pits. The thing is he's NOT a pit bull (even if he was, pit bulls are no more likely to be dangerous than any other breed of dog, but that's another story). Lennox also has a girl in his family that needs him. If you could, please go to the Save Lennox Petition and be a voice for a dog that hasn't done anything to anyone. You can also learn more about him and the story on his website. The good news is, the courts have agreed to review the case, but he still needs us!
I know he's scared and lonely (and not very well taken care of). I'd be lost without my mommy (and that Daddy-guy, I guess). I sure hope no one decides all Jack Russells are bad dogs!
