Dog Walk, Wednesday, August l0, 2010

“We had a doggone good time today.  We haven’t had rain for awhile so it was time to water the plants with the hose.  Huck and I love that!  The hose leaks a little in the middle so I have my own private fountain.  I dig a wet, muddy hole with my big white, furry paws, while Huck screams like a banshee and attacks the nozzle.  He has been known to get so excited he takes a bite right out of a plant.  Momma Dog lets us try to drink out of the hose, it makes us cough but we love it just the same.  Then we have to dry off in the sun before we can come in the house again.  August is a wonderful time with lots of bugs for us to chase and we have a little green treefrog who sits on the front door handle at night waiting for moths.  We can watch his orange eyes.  That’s as close as we want to get, we have both had a “toad experience” and they secrete something that tastes vomit awful and makes you foam at the mouth.  I thought I was dead for sure a couple of years back when I just licked one.”    Affectionately, Nemo
