Good Afternoon All,
Its me, your faithful friend Sir "Fudge" A Lot from Spirit Point Wilderness Academy & Camp.
Mike tells me that today is the first day of June and that soon those pesky black flies will be gone again for another year. I must say, I am not usually someone who complains much but I will be glad to see them gone.
Mike is bitten very badly from having worked in the bush. He has been beautifying the surroundings by getting rid of much of the fallen foliage that was cluttering up the woodlands. From a people prospective, it certainly looks better while from a canine prospective, it makes walking through a lot easier and allows me to reach my destinations without the rigour of climbing or jumping those hurdles of leaning tree trunks.
Mike has erected a Great new Spirit Point sign at the end of our driveway,
I was quite concerned for him as he lifted those giant pieces all alone in order to get it set in place. I know that his dad (Larry) was planing to help him the next day but that's my Mike when he wants it done -- well you know the rest. Suffice to say, it did work well and as he says it will now serve as a land mark for many years to come. Did I christen it? did you really feel that I could resist? Of cause I did. the way I see it, its Mike and I in this together so if it bears his mark as he says it does, then its up to me to see it bears mine also.
Even though this is, as Mike & Larry call it maintenance time, this was a good week for company. I got to see Martin from Chocpaw who came out with his friend and later in the week I got to see Jen from Chocpaw also. I did not get to take a long walk with my friend Mia but I'm sure I will again soon.
I went back to the rock face this week, the same one I visited with Ross, Jeromy & Rebeca. It was not quite the same without them along but the view was just as spectacular plus, I got to chase a rabbit for a while on the way home. I was disillusioned in the fact that I did not catch him, those little critters are fast but I enjoyed the chase and vowed to move faster myself the next time he passes by.
The allure of those springtime thoughts seems to be subsiding a little now and days take on the comfortable summertime routine of basking in the sun, swimming to cool off, basking a little more, the occasional walk and then repeating the whole scenario over.
This past week, I actually got to spend a little more time with Mike. Larry wasn't around as much so I sort of hung out to keep him company. I love lunch time on those days because he always seems to be so grateful that I have hung around so there is usually a tasteful morsel of lunch that comes my way.
Who told humans I wonder that it is better for us dogs to eat once per day.
Mike tells me that Neville will be in next week with fill for the new bus portion of the driveway. I guess they have been waiting for half loads to be done before they can put the weight of a full truck on the roads. I'm guessing that no-one told the moose about half loads because I saw two big ones plus a baby walking down the middle of our road just last week.
Mike's mom has been sick with a cold which mean she did not visit this week --- darn no treats but then Mike took me to see her on Sunday and I got treats there. Got to play with my little brother "Hunter" as well and he warned me, not to go near the gardens as this does not make mom happy.
This makes me nervous because Mike has been leveling top soil and tells me that she is going to plant gardens out at Spirit Point also. Somehow I know that this will NOT be a good thing for me because Mike has spread soil in all of those raised area's where I love to sunbathe and I bet this will be my new place to get into trouble from.
This afternoon when I was eave's-dropping, I heard talk of children at Spirit Point later this month. Cant wait for those children to return again.
Well, enough inside time for me, its starting to rain and you know how I love those glorious puddles.
Gotta Go.
Woofs, Hugs & Slurpy kisses
from
Your faithful friend
