So cold!

Hi there. I am not sure how the weather is where you are, but here on my island, it is freaking freeeeeezing. So I decided to stay in bed today. Nothing better than to pull the blanket over your head, have a cozy warm belly and just stick your feet out from time to time to check the outside temperature. If it wasn't for the unavoidable pee-trip into the backyard, I swear to you, I would stay in bed all winter long. I bet I could convince mom to serve dinner in bed if I promise not to slobber....

Trust me, I really only have to pee once a day when it is this cold outside...

It's getting hot in here....

...so I took off all my clothes - hmmm, my leash. But it was still sooo hot here in New York today, that daddy thought it could be a good idea to take me for a swim. I am mean, is he serious?!

I am a hunter, not a swimmer. I am not Michael Phelps or Mark Spitz, in fact, I hate water. I don't leave the house when it rains, I only take a bath when I stink like a pig and mommy drags me in the shower, I walk a big circle around puddles on the street.

Me swimming with daddy.

So when daddy lured me close to that puddle of water in his buddy's yard - I tried my best to get away from it. I hid in the bushes, pretended to be sniffing something interesting on the lawn. But eventually he got me and dipped me in - paws, belly, tale and all - under protest as I would like to point out. And I literally swam for my life! OK, I admit, he held me more than I was swimming and swimming might be the wrong word, paddling might be better....I mean, I don't have web feet, so what was he thinking!?

But you have to admit that I look quite elegant in the water - like a young Esther Williams I'd like to think

But why is it, that I had to get all wet and daddy only dangled his feet in the water? I will have to do more research on that.

Until then, stay cool!
