Browning's Adventures

"Hi!  This is Browning and I get to write in the blog tonight.  Mommy and Daddy brought me to Alaska a month ago and I have had bunches of fun.  I wasn't very sure about it at first.  I don't know why humans every thought flight was a good idea for anything other than birds and insects. It is NOT fun!  Once I was safely on the ground as God intended puppies to be, Alaska turned out to be great.  I got to meet bunches of new puppy friends but mommy wouldn't let me play with very many of them.  I don't know why but every time we played tag she would pick me up and take me inside (in front of the other dogs, how embarrassing!).  I never once got a chance to be "it" and chase the other dogs back!  I got to meet a really nice family and now have a new uncle and grandparents.  James, Carol, and Christopher let me come visit them while mommy and daddy were out of town and it was awesome!  They are super nice and let me play with all their stuffed toys.  I even have my own food and water bowls at their house when I visit.

I got to do lots of helping while I was in Nanwalek too.  I helped redecorate in the house and found along the way that many items in the house were too hard and could be dangerous.  Luckily puppy teeth are great tools for softening such items and I devoted many hours to taking care of that problem.  Mommy and Daddy really should pay closer attention to their trash can because a lot of really good stuff accidentally gets thrown into it(I suspect the cat's behind this mischief).  I cannot tolerate waste and happily rescued those items from the garbage before it was too late.  Another very important responsibility all dogs have to their families is to protect them from danger.  I took this very seriously when mommy went running.  You never know what kind of dangers could be lurking in the grasses so I always investigated thoroughly to make sure my mommy was safe!  I found a serious safety concern around our house that required immediate attention.  There are many dogs who don't seem to understand that the area around my house is not theirs, and tried to claim it as their own.  I could not allow such activities to continue, but without a ready supply of purple boundary marker paint in the village I had to be a little more creative marking the boundaries.  Let's just say I got the job done.

I had so much fun in Alaska, but am glad to get back home.  My grandma picked me up at the airport (more time in those terrible machines!) and took me to some parks on the way home.  I missed my grandpa very much and Stupid and Sid were totally lost without me there to play with them.  I am looking forward to sniffing out some rabbits and squirrels and viciously protecting my mommy's yard from the deer.  Those flowers are mine to eat so they had better watch out!"
