Riley and Missy’s
Holiday News Letter
Hope all our friends
out there did not eat too much over the holidays. We sure did, so mom is trying to take us on
forced walks. I love the walks, but my
sister Missy would rather stay back at the RV, and sit in Dad’s lap. She is Daddy’s lap dog.
We have had a great
year sniffing butts on our travels and walks.
We have visited our cousins/Mom’s grand dogs Maggie and Zoey in Grand
Island, NE. They have rawhide bones all
over, and a really cool doggie door that we can use all day long. Maggie is getting older and can’t jump up on
their couch. I have troubles also
jumping, but not due to age but the extra pounds that I am carrying around.
Mom calls me “Fat Boy”. There is a really fat dachshund here on 4th
street by the dog park. He has had way too many dog treats in his life. His mom works in the office here, and Mom
takes me and sis into check the mail.
Well if she does not get me my treat right away, I bark and bark. Mom said I am grounded from the office,
because of my barking. It is an office,
and dogs need to be quiet! I just get so
excited that I bark when treats are involved.
Yes, I do bark at big dogs and some little dogs. I can’t forget the cats that I bark at named
Gracie and Rags. Their moms walk them in
a cart around the park. They will not
let me sniff their butts. Missy did get
to play with a cat at the treat/feed store that we get to go and pick out our
chew treats. She had a really good time
playing with the cat. Mom thinks Missy
lived with cats in her home before our home.
Dad would find her in the trees
in our back yard when she first moved in.
We go camping with
mom and dad when they camp with their camping club. We miss Nellie since she does not camp any
more. We camped with Joey from
Norfolk,NE. We first met him in Texas
three years ago, but his parents make him stay in the cold of NE. We camped in
North Platte,NE with a pup named Cooper. We might get to see him again in
Rockport. We also camped in Pueblo, CO
for a Newmar Rally. We met a new friend
Maximillion who was a service dog. He
could go with his parents to the dinners and the shows and to restaurants. That was not fair. We are guide dogs for our blind mom, but we
don’t have a vest to wear. Come to think
of it, we really don’t do a very good job as guide dogs. Today mom walked out in front of a car
again. She has done that a few times in
the past. She has also gotten lost, we
tried to find our way back to the camper but she did not listen.
We have some old
friends coming back to the campground that are not here yet. We are still waiting to see Sprocket and
Mattie. We have made some new
friends. There are two cuties on 4th
street named Baily and April. Old
friends like Penny, who does not bark just sits with a toy in her mouth. I think she thinks I will steal her toy. Samson and Goliath are back, they are really
big dogs. Last year mom went walking
with them. Samson is really scared of
us. We have also sniffed the butts of
Tiny, Missy, and other short dogs. We
keep away of the big scary dogs. There
are a few of them at Wilderness Oaks in Rockport Texas. We love the weather, our park walks, rides,
treats, and butt sniffing. Have a great new year to all our friends out there. PS I
had a lot of troubles typing this, since my paws are so large.
