Vacations are over !!

Hey There Everyone,

This is your canine friend Sir "Fudge" A-Lot speaking from "Spirit Point" Wilderness Academy & Camp.

Today is a VERY Special day for me because I got to spend most of it with my Best friends Maya & Paddle. Yes, there are back, finally every one's vacations are over I think so life for me at least should get back to normal.

I was very pleased to see the girls and they tell me as much as they enjoyed being around Jen's folks while she was gone, they are certainly glad to be back up here in the North country with the old familiar sights and smells but mostly the freedom to run and explore.

Paddle has grown, she is a little taller now than Maya and is fast catching up to my height and I think she even packed on a few pounds while she was in the city. Today, we are all together at Mike's folks home which means more exploring. Of cause my little brother Hunter joined us also and I think we made a great foursome,but we still didn't catch any of those rabbits. As I get older, I am learning that those pesky rabbits are fast and I think they simply take us on wild goose chases knowing all the while that they can outrun us or scurry down one of those holes that Mike tells me are called burrows. Oh well, the chase is fun anyway and the girls I think needed the exercise after being in the city.

Life at Spirit Point has been very quiet lately with no guests on account of the hunters. Next week Mike tells me is deer season so he says that I have to stay close to home again. That's going to be harder I think with the girls around cause the forest is like our playground. I guess that after today, we will just have to put play on hold for one more week.

Mike as always has been very busy this time he calls his tasks shoring things up before the winter season arrives. He has done some more work on the driveway where the buses park, he is in the process of moving the big propane tanks so as everything looks way more open. I heard talk of moving the water line a little further out in the lake which means he will be diving again. As much as I like it when he swims because I can swim with him, I don't really like when he dives because he goes under the water where I can not see him and I can not go that far down so I just wait around in the water until he bobs back up again, then we swim for a while until he goes ashore.

When Mike isn't working outside, he is still busy working on his computer developing winter, spring & summer programing sometimes on his own and sometimes with Jen. Of cause when Jen comes over, so do Maya and Paddle which gives us a chance to make our own fun.

Well Girls,Boys, Moms, Dads, Grandparents and Teachers, its 4.15pm and today the sun is still shining and I want to make the most of what day light we still have before darkness takes over so I'm
going to sign off for now. I will talk to you next week as usual.

So For now,
Lots of hugs & Slurpy kisses
from your friend
