Eating Grass and Making History

Hi Everybody!
Did you know I eat grass? Yes. I do. Sue says it is the most annoying thing I do. She says "You are destroying our yard!" But I cannot help it. Now Sue is glad I eat grass and I will tell you why:

Last night I had to pee at 2:30 a.m. so Sue took me outside. On our way out she said, "Oh Elvis. I am glad you woke me up because maybe we can see the eclipse!!"
That is what I was thinking too!! I was thinking, "If Sue takes me out at 2:30 maybe we can see the eclipse!!"

Well, it was cloudy. While I was peeing Sue said, "It is too cloudy to see the eclipse. I am sad." Well, I was sad too, because I wanted to see the eclipse, so I decided to EAT GRASS so Sue would get mad and we would have to stay outside longer. Sure enough, she got mad and when she yelled at me I managed to run around both the bluebird feeder and the bluebird house and got my long leash tangled around two poles!!

Sue was purrrrrrrty mad as she was in her nightgown and her muck boots trying to get me untangled. She said, "Can't you see I"m freezing??? Why did you do this??"
Then when she got me untangled she looked up and ALL THE CLOUDS HAD PARTED and we saw the beautiful coppery moon in FULL ECLIPSE!!

Sue said, "Elvis! Look! It's the full eclipse!!" I was so happy! We saw the eclipse!! Sue said people had not seen the eclipse like this since 1638!! I do not know what "1638" is but she had been talking about "1638" all week.

So now you know how I helped us make history by having to pee and eating grass.
Happy Winter Solstice!!

Love,
Elvis

Christmas and Stuff

Hi everyone.
It's me. Elvis.
Today Sue put a red bow on my head and said, "There. Now you are ready for Christmas." I do not know what Christmas is and I do not know why I need to wear a red bow. But I wanted you to know I am ready for Christmas.








Did you know Sue takes me for FIVE MILE WALKS??? Yes. She does. When we get home I am tired. In this picture Corrie and I look like we are dead but we are not. I am tired but Corrie is just old. She has to wear two sweaters because she is old and she gets purrrty cold.

Sue says, "Cold is good for you!" and I think so too. When we wake up in the morning our house is 56 degrees. Sue always says, "56. That is perfect." And I think exactly the same thing!! I always think, "56. That is perfect!!"

When Sue opens her eyes I put my chin on her bed. Then I put my paw on her bed. She says, "Good morning, little darling!" THEN she finally gets up. Then I yawn and then she takes me outside where it is even colder than 56 degrees!

This is a gate in our house. Do you remember the pictures of it the night before I came to live with Sue? I was only a baby puppy then. Now I think I am not a baby puppy any more because I can open the gate all by myself!! I just push the handle up with my nose and then I go and find Sue. She really does not care because I do not get into very much trouble. She just says, "Oh Elvis. You are very smart."





Do you know what snow is? I did not know until one day when Sue let me out and said "It is snowing!!" I just stood and watched as white flakes fell from the sky. Then I watched some more and then I played frisbee. Now I know what snow is.

Bathroom Rug

Hi Everybody.
Today Teresa gave me a new hair do. I think I look like a bathroom rug. A bathroom rug with a bandanna.










Do you think I look like a bathroom rug?
I think it is important for you to vote on this.
Please vote yes if you think I look like a bathroom rug.
Please vote no if you think I do not look like a bathroom rug.















Sue loves me whether I look like a bathroom rug or not. She says "You are a VERY cute bathroom rug."


Love,
Elvis.
