Good Morning,
Its me again "Mr Sir Fudge" speaking from Spirit Point. Its May now and as you can see by my picture, the ice finally melted and I have been able to re-live those glorious swimming days in my lake. On this day, my young brother came to visit, he lives with Mikes Mom & Dad in Huntsville so he's excited when he gets to join me here at the lake for a day. Sometimes when he leaves I feel a little sad just like when Mia leaves in the winter but the good thing is -- they always return.
Mike and Larry are still busy doing what they call maintenance and they have other men here doing a strange thing called sand blasting, chinking and sealing. All the buildings now look sparkling new again and Mike & Larry are happy because they say that not only does it look nice but that this will ensure that the buildings maintain their lusture for years to come. Such big words, its all Dutch to me and seeing as like all of my canine freinds, I am colour blind, they look just the same as they did before to me but I guess Mikes right because every one that pulls in says wow!
They, Mike & Larry have changed the driveway which necesitated moving two of my favourite land marks those big geen posts that you all saw when you first arrived. The gate now has backed up about fifty feet and the old green gate has been replaced by a shinny new grey metal one which hangs on new wooded posts. I dont think that Mike saw me, but I have already Christened those new posts if you know what I mean.
The driveway is changing, they have taken out some brush and opened it up
to where you can now see the diesel room as you pull in. More of my stomping grounds gone and at first I wasnt too happy but then Mike explained that it was to make better accomodation for the busses. Well, I like busses because busses bring children who add life to Spirit Point not to forget many new playmates for me so I resigned myself to this being a good thing. Cant wait for those children to start arriving again!
Life here is pretty ideal, lots of room to roam, tree's to christen, a lake to swim in whenever the mood takes me, good food, always fresh water and a great master but lately I've been getting in my share of trouble. As if stealing the tools wasnt bad enough, now as I awake in the morning and as usual sniff the air, sudenly I am getting scents that are alluring if you get my jist and as much as I love Mike, those scents are calling out to me. On several occasions I have left in search of well, lets call it a special freind. I am always on route to those pastures when I hear Mike calling. What an oxy moron that presents, The Master that I love so dearly or the allure of springtime for an adolescent male. Thus far, I have returned to that freindly summoning voice of my master but I do feel there will come a day when it will be very hard to listen ----- I will leave the rest to your imagination.
Last night we had company in the form of faces I have seen before. The other Mike & Andrew were here plus Jeromy, Ross & Rebeca both representing World Challange, They stayed in the lodge and there was talk of them camping for the next night but concerns about the fact that it is surposed to rain all weekend. What is it I wonder that humans have against the rain. For me its great, those puddles return again and I get to role in them which perpetuates the cycle of Mike saying that I have to stay outside to dry off but for me its all worth it. I heard once that people pay big dollars for mud baths and I always think that I could save them the costs if they would just role in the puddles like I do or even with me.
Well guys, girls and grown ups, nature calls, I have been inside for a while to up date you but spring is not a time that I like to be inside other than at night time so I'm going to say "So long for now, will talk to you all again soon"
Woofs, hugs and slurpy kisses.
from
Your canine freind.
"Sir Fudge" of "Spirit Point".
