Fixing Up the House, Shopping and my Buddies

Hi everybody. It's me. Elvis.
Did you know I am handy? Yes. I am. Sue has had painters and other guys at her house for a couple weeks, and on Friday I decided I wanted to help too! So I picked up Edmo's hammer and carried it into the kitchen. I did not know what to do with it, but everyone made such a fuss and said I was soooooooo cute that I knew I had done the right thing.

I also want to tell you that I go shopping with Sue.

The only problem is that she leaves me in the car when we get to the store.

So, when she has locked the doors I hop up into the back window and press my face against the glass. When I do this I always think she will change her mind and say, "OK, Elvis, I guess you can come in the grocery store." But she never does.

So I just watch until she is out of sight. I keep barking but she does not turn around. A few times I have seen her peek out the store windows to see if I have "settled down" and I always do. Then I just look and look out the windows at all the people that go by. Sooner or later Sue comes out of the store and sometimes I am in the driver's seat waiting for her.

Sue and I are friends with Brian and Scott who live in our neighborhood. They have four show dogs; three English Pointers and a Terrier. We go to their house once a week and I "run with the dogs." Scott and Brian and Sue stand around and talk while we play games.

In this game I think I am a pointer. See? We are actually watching Ava who is going to start a fight with Martin and Stewart. I did not know they were going to fight. I just thought we were pointing. But no one gets hurts in the fight.

This is me and Stewart playing with the braid.

Brian and Scott LOOOOVE me!! Some of their dogs are national champions! Do you know what a "national champion" is? Sue said it is something very important, but Scott and Brian think I am very important, so I think I must be a national champion, too.

They always like it when we come over.

This is Stewart, Ava, Martin and Timber. I took the picture. (Just kidding. Brian took the picture. My paws are too big for the button.)

Guess who else visited this week??? If you are having trouble guessing you can look at the next picture.

Yes. It is Patrick. He let me kiss him after he told me what a good dog I was.

Now I am tired from telling you all of my news.

Love,

Elvis
