Gardening is for the birds!

So this weekends sunshine prompted my Beth and grandparents to decide to garden. All weekend! What a snooze. I kept bringing them the ball and every now and again they would throw it, but for the most part, they completely ignored me. Then I thought to myself, I should help. I mean they were digging all of these holes, and I love to make holes. Follow by example I always say. Well to my suprise, this was not a good time to be helpful. Beth was not happy that I dug a big hole right under the tree. Lesson learned. When Beth wants to garden she does not want help!

Walking on Water


We have a new hobby. This is the best hobby ever. On the days when Beth doesn't leave for hours on end we go for walks. I mean we always go for walks but the new destination of these walks are something to behold. Today, we went down to the water to walk on a nice little path. There were lots of people and dogs, of all shapes and sizes.
There were people on bikes, on blades and even on boards. There were little dogs with hats, and big dogs with packs. I have never seen so many wonderful sights and smells.
We walked awhile on the leash, Beth was blabbing on and on with one of her friends. Then we got to play stick, and splash around. About an hour later we came to a crossing of sorts. Now I wouldn't call myself sheltered but I have never in my long life walked on what Beth called a bridge. Or at least not one of this size.
I was really scared at first. I couldn't believe that Beth was going to make me walk over this vast expanse of water. What if I were to fall in! You know I can't swim, and I didn't even have my live vest on. So scary.
Beth coaxed me to move forward and after a few moments I realize it was a pretty stable bridge. About half way across we stopped to look over the edge. WOW. I was standing in the middle of the big water. I could see the people boating and fishing under me and it was amazing. Beth had to literally pull me away, so we could continue on our walk.
