Life in Montana so far is great!

Sorry it's been a while since I updated my blog - Mom says it's really hard to log on with these slow speeds. I don't know what she's talking about - I'm just as fast as always! Which I proved to Mom and Dad when we were on our daily walk up the street - I chased a Momma and Calf moose! Dad and Mom were upset - they kept talking about me getting stomped - but I'm too fast for that, nobody's going to stomp on me!

Anyway, we go for a long walk everyday up the road, and I almost always see another dog or a deer or a turkey or something - this place is fun! Mom and Dad saw a whole herd of elk near our house, but they were in the car without me :-(

Dad and Mom have been working hard - the front porch is full of broken down boxes and paper and yesterday they moved a bunch of boxes and all the stuff out of the big garage and Dad spent hours and hours power washing the garage floor. Dad says the concrete is crumbling and we'll have to get it resurfaced. They've also laid out a fence so I can go outside on my own - like I'm not perfectly capable of being outside all by myself - but I know it's there so I can't chase the deer and it sucks! But Dad said the neighbors shoot dogs that harass deer, so maybe I should stay closer to home. Anyway, it's going to take a while for the fence, because we have to get the stuff, and digging post holes in this rocky soil is going to be hard. I'm not very good at digging - I'm much better at running!

Mom joined the Church choir, and Dad's put in some job applications. I guard the house just like always - although Mom and Dad are upset that I've scratched the window sills already. I don't want Dad to get a job - he's my hero and I want to stay right by his side all the time!

Anyway, we all love it here - time to go for a walk now!

New Den!

We've moved to a new den in Montana! At first, I thought we were just visiting like we've done before, but all our stuff got boxed up at our old den and it all arrived here somehow, with nice people who scratched me to unload it. Mom and Dad have been busy unpacking all the boxes - I'm so happy they finally found my dog bed!

Mom says it's going to be challenging to update my blog on a regular basis - we only get dial up internet at the house right now, so uploading pictures will be difficult. Mom can do it every now and then from the Hamilton library (which doesn't allow dogs - grrr), but most of the time it will be words only - that's too bad, because I'm beautiful, and everyone should see more of me!

This place is really cool! I got to herd a flock of turkeys (I'm smart enough to know they fly - no point in trying to catch them) and I tried to catch a couple of white tail deer, but they're really fast - faster than me even! And there's some other nice dogs in the neighborhood too which we met when we went out walking today. It's really beautiful here!

Mom's Retired!

Mom retired on 31 Oct after 20 years in the AF - see how happy she looks! Mom says we'll have more pictures here soon.

But I'm a little puzzled; Mom and Dad are packing things in bags, and fixing the window sill I scraped with my nails protecting the house, and taking things off walls - it seems strange. They keep talking about moving to a new den in Montana - I'm not sure where that is, but as long as there's stuff to chase I'm happy!
