Anchorage, AK ~ 58.1 degrees ~ Raining
I’m SO confused!! It’s been a wild past 2 weeks. I just don’t know how to handle all these “feelings” I’m having inside. Never felt like this before; I’m all over the motor home. First there’s the Chena thing; we missed each other in Talkeetna last week because dad and Uncle Brad just had to go fishing in Willow Creek (they’re killing me). Then, to complicate things more, I met this new chick in Willow (I never knew I had choices!!). Her name’s Tilly & she’s HOT ~ ½ French Bull Dog & ½ Pug ~ way too sexy!! Nothing serious; we’re just “talking”.
Then, to make life ruffer, mom & dad sent me to doggie day care for a few days this week while they went to adult day care (or something like that, I think it was called the Hilton). Anyway, talk about the women there!! Ooohhh chiwawa ~ all over the board; big, gorgeous & confident to prissy little pure bred divas (way too complicated for me ~ they had special meds in their cubbies they took each day at lunch time). Now I’ve got little mutt syndrome ~ uuggghhh!! So, I talked to my teacher at day care & she suggested I go to the doggie shrink next door. Couldn’t figure how to work that one out; mom had her cell phone & they don’t let you out of the playground without your parents consent. I can’t wait till Chase & Dave get here Monday night so we can talk (dad just doesn’t seem to get it).
Then, when mom picked me up today, I smelled puppy on her ~ ggggrrrrr. Is she going to replace me?!?!?! I heard her talking to dad (they didn’t know I was listening) about going to a local Sled Dog Exhibition and Kennel yesterday. Anyway, there were 2 celebrity Iditarod sled dogs there and that’s where the pups were, too. Don’t they think I’m good enough to pull a winning sled this coming season?!?! Why would they get a “real sled dog”?!?!? Don’t they know I can do it?!??! I’ve got to prove it to them!!!
Thankfully, tomorrow night Chase & Dave get here for a week or so & I’m SO stoked!! Mom stresses when company’s coming (guess it’s a girl thing ~ but I love her for it). She gets in some kind of cleaning & laundry zone (Dad swears she marks his clothes with a “secret” mark to make sure he wears things at least 7 times before washing). Dad tries to avoid her on those days because he says “she gives him orders” (at least that’s what I heard him telling one of his buddies the other day on his cell phone). She says “they’re not orders, they’re requests & she shouldn’t have to ask, he should be able to read her mind”. Then he usually does something like fart or pee & leave the seat up, then she goes…………you know what I mean. I just go in my secret hiding place. Mom says I’m going to Petco for a bath tomorrow…..again….. because “the dirt is different up here plus I have to smell good for company”. Looks like this is a quickie wash & wear type visit; no pedicures or clippings this time (oh no, will there be more Alaskan cuties there??). And happy trails for all!! The parents are getting groceries tomorrow which means I will be getting the new amped up formula of Beneful (saw it on TV the other day ~ gotta get ready for the big pull).
Overall, it’s been a good week. Everyone got their wiggles out. Mom got “girl” restaurants, a spa visit, wore real clothes, watched real cable TV & shopped. Dad got “guy” restaurants, a spa visit, motor home & Jeep stuff done, too. It was a little sad though because Brad & Mere went home Monday night ~ we sure had a great time with them. This is a big town; lots of history & culture (so they say) but we’re all ready to move on with “the journey”. Besides, there’s this bad azz Malamute on steroids across from our site & this campground ain’t big enough for both of us. Tuesday morning, we’ll be heading out again; not sure where because dad’s still chasing fish & I’m still chasing my true love, Chena.
