Her inspiration is contagious!

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

**April 22nd, 2012**

Spring is in the air and it is Earth Day today!  So embrace the day and take time to look around, breath our air in a little deeper and hug our trees a little tighter.  Celebrate with me and pledge to do your best to protect the incredible offerings that nature unfailingly provides us. 

What are your plans to celebrate Earth Day?

Well, I won't dilly dally, 'cuz I am going to hang out side and just enjoy the wonders of spring time! 

The big news is that yesterday was the "every other week weigh in" (drum roll... marching band) .... can you say 87 pounds???? 

Yes!  That is almost 50 pounds in 8 months!  Two more pounds to my get to my target weight and then to the doctor to start tests on "what's going on" with my back legs.  More coming on that soon!

Acouple weeks ago, I was hanging out in the field with Jewel and some of my buddies and Brooke showed up with her two.  I was very excited to meet them and just look at me go!  Boy, those are 2 handsome dudes!


Our conversation went something like this:

Summer - Hey dude, you have a strange looking shirt on.  What's up with that?

Bentley - Oh girl friend, you should check it out, it's awesome!  I get really nervous when I ride in the car or hear thunder, gun shots, fireworks ... the list is BIG and this makes me more comfortable!  My favorite Auntie's got this for me.  We are lucky, lucky dogs!

Summer - You got it .... we are soooooooooooo lucky!

We had a great visit and I was sad to see them go, but I know they will be back soon.


Well, it's my time to help out with Earth Day and do what I love to do - dig in the dirt!!!!  I am helping one of my buddy's dig for .... hmmmmmm, what are we digging for?  I'm not sure, but it is so fun!  And I have it down pat ... I can lay on the ground and dig, dig, dig with my front legs and really make some progress ... Boy, it's a work out too!

I think I'll dig a hole in honor of Earth Day so that Jewel can plant a tree!  What a great idea!

Off and moving to start my project!
