KAEDE AND THE BOAT

It's me. It's me. I'm back. I just read what Freddy wrote and I want to say this. I am not a whiner. Not like him. I run and play and jump around and try very hard to be good. I don't whine. I like the snow but that's not what I want to talk about. I want to tell you something else.

I'm going to tell you about the greatest thing ever. Truly, ever. In the summer time when it's warm our people bought a boat. That's right a boat. It's the most wonderful thing. Freddy and I go with them on the big water and we float. They eat and laugh and I watch the world go by. Freddy.....ahem....he just.....well....he sleeps.
Sometimes we stay on it for days and nights and then more days and nights and we sleep there. Our beds are with us and they somehow manage to bring our magic cupboard where the food is hidden. It's all good.

 There it is. There it is. There's our boat. Don't you just love it? That's our man human looking inside it. Don't you just love it?

 There I am. There I am. I'm on the boat. I love it on the boat. I'm on the boat and getting ready to set sail. Just kidding. It doesn't have sails but I'm on the boat. I love it.

 I love love love looking out the side. The engine purrs and next thing you know, we're off on the big water. I love it. I love it.

 Here is what I see. Don't you love it? I do. I love it. Love it love it. It's the big water. Our humans call it the St. Lawrence River. I love looking out the side of the boat. I do it all the time.

 See, what did I tell you. Here I am looking over the side of the boat. I love it love it love it. I'm a real sailor(ette) because I'm a girl.

Freddy comes too. That's him with me looking at the water. I love it love it love it. You would too if you could come on our boat on the big water.

Here's Freddy and he's looking out at the water too. Our people have so much fun on this water in our boat too. It's not just me who loves it loves it loves it. Our people love it and I love it. 

Til next time
Kaede

FREDDY DISCUSSES AGING AND SNOW

Oh my goodness, it has been a long time since I wrote anything. I am going to try and catch up with what is happening in my world, the world of Freddy, the handsome and exceptional Ridgeless Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I've had a couple of birthdays since we last met. My people say I am now a mature dog. I don't feel it. I still look handsome even though I am going grey around my lips. My people call it it muzzle but I know it's my lips. What do you think? I look handsome and young still, right? I think so.

I'm going to talk to you about the weather. You will remember that I came from California where it's nice and warm and sunny most of the time. Look at this picture. Does this look to you like California? No I didn't think so. Not only do my people think it's okay to LIVE in this they also think I WANT to go OUT in this. So, they take me out on these walks and set me loose thinking I'll run around and play. Kaede does, but I'm not Kaede. I'm not covered with lots and lots of brown fur. This boy is a Rhodesian Ridgeback and that's special. It also means I only have one coat. Yes, one coat. What's so hard they can't remember that? Huh. ONE COAT. Not warm.

Now this picture. This is better. Inside, snuggled up on a nice cozy rug, Kaede keeping me warm. That's what a boy wants this time of year. Warmth, warmth, and more warmth. Don't you agree.

Until next time........stay warm.....OR move to California.
