I Get Chased by a Dog Having a Heart Attack

I've mostly just been chillin' out today, which isn't easy since the temperatures have been around 100 degrees again today. I live in Florida, you know, and even though Mom says it hasn't been that hot anywhere else, it's been really hot here.

I also don't like the way the grass grows so fast this time of year. It's clear up under my tummy and when I hike my leg to do my job, it tickles me. AND I HATE IT!!!

Anyway, we did go for our golf cart ride but it got really cloudy, and I just knew it was going to storm. I crawled up Mom's chest and stuck my face in her armpit to save myself. So Dad drove us home, a dog chased us, it was just horrible. At least we made it home before it rained though. Whew.

OK, you're probably wondering why this dog chased us. Well, he was out in a bare spot along the side of the road with his Dad who had his arm in a sling (the goofy dog probably pulled his shoulder out of joint pulling on his leash). He was some big silly-looking pug kind of a thing with big bulging eyes and a lolling tongue, and I really thought he might have a heart attack right there in the middle of the street.

So I don't know if he saw Buttons and me in the cart with Mom and Dad or if he would just chase any old cart that came along. He did chase us though and he didn't even have a leash on! Oh, My, Gosh!! That is such a bad thing to be doing when you're outside. I ALWAYS have my leash on and so does Buttons when we go outdoors.

Of course, Buttons wanted to bark and jump around but Dad held onto her, and I was too scared to do anything. This monster was right there at the front wheel of the cart on MY side so you can imagine how scary it all was. He chased us until he was right on the verge of the heart attack - you could almost see his bulgy eyes rolling back in his head - and then he quit and his Dad called him back.

So, as you can see, even an innocent golf cart ride can turn into a very harrowing experience! But I love these rides so much, I'm not going to stay home. I'll just have to be brave and hide in Mom's armpit if the going gets too rough!

I Had Visitors

Sorry I haven't been around in awhile. We had visitors for two weeks. All these little kids running around. It was more than a dog could handle. I hid under the furniture as much as I could, but of course I did have to come out now and then to see my Mom and eat a little bit.

They did pet me some which was nice. And Dad still took us for our golf cart rides although sometimes they were kind of short because my people sister needed the cart to go to the pool. I wonder if I'd like the pool???

Anyway, they went back where they came from and took the little kids with them so we're all here by ourselves again.
