Gabby's Big Day Part Deux

Although all of us dogz have been to the pool this year, I've been on a trip to Jim's all by myself once before (that was back in May). That trip didn't go so well since the pool was still green at that time, and for a while so was I. WOL (woofing out loud) Therefore, Jim decided and told mIkIE that I should get the chance to go to the pool again. Of course, I agreed. I just love Jim!

	Wiggling all the way to the car, I hopped right into the car and was ready to drive Darth away if Jim didn't get behind the wheel soon.
When we got to Jim's, I knew where I was and headed for the backyard. Wheeee! I love running around this great big yard! I like the pretty flowers that mIkIE has in our yard but it's not very big - especially when the boyz are out there with me.

mIkIE and I posed for a bunch of pictures during the afternoon. Aren't we cute? Although we both have some red hair (mine is true, mIkIE's red is from a bottle LOL), I don't think that it's true that owners and their pets look alike. Maybe if I had a pair of sunglasses too; but I don't think so.

After playing in the yard for a while, Jim helped me up onto the deck of the pool. After mIkIE and Jim were in the water for a while, I finally got in too, and swam with the guys for a little bit.

That's me, grinning for Jim's camera. See, dogs really can smile.

I really enjoyed the swimming (though I tend to list to the side a bit, since I only have one front leg); but afterwards I wanted to get dry.

First, I shook off on mIkIE...

...and then I rubbed up against him

...and all because I love him.

It's warm out here and I'm one hot dog Woof, Woof, Woof
	Jim lives close to the Canton Airport, so I saw several planes flying overhead.

Oh, is that your towel?
Rub, Rub, Rub
Roll, Roll, Roll
Oops! I thought you said
it WASN'T your towel, mIkIE.

I love my mIkIE, and this better not be a GBS picture. ROFL

Ah, this must be one of those "dog days" of summer that they talk about.

	Poor Jim. He's been so busy taking pictures of me that he hasn't had time to play with me. I'm going to go give him a hand. mIkIE can take the pictures for a while.

After I tackled Jim, and held him down, to prove he was mine, he gave me a great big hug.

	Jim tried to get me back into the pool; but it was getting late in the day, and my fur was finally drying out.
Jim looked at me through the beach ball that he and mIkIE were playing with. He was funny looking. Too bad Joxie didn't get to come too. He would love this ball.

Alright, I'll try on the sunglasses. Are you sure that this will make me even cutier?

By now, it was getting to be late afternoon, and I was getting tired of the pool. I wanted to run around in that nice big yard a little more before I had to go home. So while mIkIE put away all the pool floats, Jim took me back down to the yard.
	When I got back there, I heard mIkIE calling me; but I couldn't see him. Looking up finally, I did see him and a huge monster or something that was about to attack him. I jumped and jumped at it.
Jim said that he would get this thing for me, so I backed up to the other side of the solar panel.
	I still didn't like the look of this thing that Jim called a "shark", so I ran at it and tried to get it.
But it attacked back, and well,
	I ran away.
I wish I had Aries with me. He would tear this shark apart.
	Jim wrestled that old shark by the tail and tossed it back into the pool where it belonged.

I hope you enjoyed my big day as much as I did.
