Day 105 Good Bye to Toirin and Mibs

Today is a very sad day for me; my best buddy and playmate moved to California with his daddy. Toirin and Mibs are driving to Los Angeles to live with Sid's girl, Siobhan. I cried when MaMala left to take Toirin to Mibs' house to get ready for the trip. Bridget said I was making an awful lot of noise for such a little girl. I miss him so much already, he used to run and jump in the yard with me, roll down the hills with me, dig under the shed and bark at cats and squirrels and birds and bunnies and the neighbors. Who's going to do those things with me now? These other dogs are O-L-D, all they want to do is eat, nap, poop, sleep, eat, snack, sleep....you get the picture. Toirin was FUN.
Hmmm, maybe I'll get more treats now. Toirin was pretty good at snatching treats out of MaMala's hand, off the floor and even out of your mouth almost! Even if I do get more treats, I am going to miss him. He was my best friend. I am sad...Arooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 95 Dog Days of Summer

Things have been changing almost every day here. Toirin is here for a few days then gone for a couple...then he's back! I guess when Mibs is off work Toirin can go home but when Mibs goes back to work, Toirin has to come here. He says he and his GiGi cry when he has to leave her, but she forgot to close the gate once and Toirin got loose, so he can't stay there when Mibs is at work. Poor GiGi! I know how she feels, I am much happier and have lots more fun when Toirin is at my house. He is way more fun than all the old ladies and the old man that live here. I guess Toirin and Mibs are moving to California next week so who knows if I will ever see my buddy after that? I think California is a long way away from here.
Siobhan and another Matthew are here from out there and I let her sit on the chaise and pet me and even hug me. That was a little too close for comfort so then I jumped down but she gives good pets. I still have not surrendered to (so Bridget says) the ecstasy of a belly rub; that seems like a risky move to me. I mean, you're on your back and you can't make a quick escape if something scary happens. Just not sure anything is worth that.
It's been really hot outside but we still manage to find good smells and things to chase and bark at. Poor MaMala, sometimes we don't listen when she calls us to come in, even when it's really hot. Outside is so much more interesting than inside, even if it's 100 degrees out there. Of course Miss Bridget stays inside sometimes when it's hot; she says why be uncomfortable if you have no business to do? She's a little prissy sometimes. Or maybe lazy? She even gets treats delivered to her throne. I guess it IS good to be queen.
