I won this round of basset v. ball.

Happy Friday.

Ernest who is on his way to Casa Beagle with his pal Charlie.

edd to the NORTH!

My scribe is slacking again. I will give her credit for trying, she just needs to try HARDER.

How are you? I am well. It has not rained for over 12 hours. I am drying out, Now that the temperature has soared over 60 degrees, I am going to complain that it is too HOT.

 

This weekend I went to Casa Beagle on Orcas (not the whales) Island.   In the summer, we are ruled by the ferry schedule and the silly tourists. It's not so bad for me. I like the napping opportunities in the car. I would love them better if we were only going 23 miles an hour the whole way up to the ferry. For the moms, it is more traumatic - rush to get ready, curse traffic, drive like crazy, wait in lines, tap feet, take dog for walk, take dog for another walk, tap feet, drive, wait, etc.

Charlie usually travels with me. He's okay. I am caged like an animal and he is free.  What gives?



It's better than being stuck in a car with Annie.



Soon, I will get to hang out up top instead of staying down below on the car deck. Hello, beer!



ernest dog, at your service
and I'll take whatever is on tap

This blog is being taken over by me, Annie the beagle. I deserve more screen time than Ernest as I am much cuter and smaller.  I am a delicate flower compared the Mr. Thunderpaws and his side kick, Charlie.



When I go for walks I stop by and visit Ernest.  I often like to see what Ernest has left in his bowl.  Usually he leaves something. Does he not know there are starving beagles in Nepal?

Dumb boy.

I also like to hang out with Ernest's nmom. She is the nicest.  We talk about food and things that are pink. I like to take naps on the couch, but Ernest needs to keep his distance. Look at this wall they built to keep us apart.



Don't tell anyone this, but I sort of like Ernest.

Annie, I don't care what you call me as long as you don't call me late for dinner.

It was raining when this picture was taken. I was not amused.




It was sunny and too hot when this picture was taken. I was not amused. I recognize it
must be hard to tell if I am happy or sad, my expression while being full of sentiment, is still so hard
to read.

Yet, for the most part I remain amused, just not with extreme weather.

Ernest puppy, looking for partly sunny and 60F. All the time.

I think you really missed me.

I know I missed you.

Today, Auntie Claire (mom of wally corgador), posted a link to a site that shows you just how much I can say in just one look.

33 Animals Who Are Extremely Disappointed In You


Clearly they didn't contact me or Charlie, who both think it is time for a WALK.

Ernest puppy, phone your agent.

My mom has been asleep on the job. I am trying really hard to wake her up!



I remain handsome even at the ripe age of SIX.

Stay tuned for my life, it is more interesting than my mom's life.
