my letter

death of lambchop

I finally did it---I tore up Asa's favorit toy in the world!  I killed "lamby".  I wuzzed mad at grouchy pants becuzzed he wud not play with me, he wuzzed too busy taking a nap.  So I sneaked his Lambchop out frum under him and tore him all up.  I evin pulled out his squeeker!  it wuz so citing.

but thin mommy commed in the room.  She yelled out 'PEERCY! WHUT ARE YOU DOING TO LAMBY?"  "Give that to me right now".  mommy taked him away frum me.  and callt me a bad boy.
I gave mommy the saddest most guilty face ever and tried to say sorry.

but I rilly wuzzed not sorry at all.  as a madder of fact, I evin tellt grouchy pants that I did it!

             but grouchy pants lukked so lonely without his little lambchop.  and thin he layed down around all of his favrit toys innerds, and jest stared at the big slaughter.  I cried.  I feeled so bad.

I tried to give Lamby back to grouchy pants.

all I rilly did wuz bite off one of his legs and take out sum stuffing and a squeeker.  

but mommy sed he is ruined without his squeeker.  oh no.  I ruined him.  

I has to ask santy paws to bring a new one for grouchy pants.  I has to go now so I canz right him a letter.  

black neck agin

I taked a long walk thru my nayborhood with mommy today.  and guess whut?  yes, I pulled a lot agin.

mommy sed "Percival, TAKE IT EASY!"

Right at that very moment I turned around and dragged mommy up a hill.  here I am dragging. I was also making huffing sounds, prolly cuzzed I was gitting choked frum pulling.

I did not listen to mommy one bit.  becuz I finded sumptink delishis!  someone lost a loaf of bread!!

and I finded it!  

before mommy evin knowed whut happened, I eated a whole slice.  

h

here is a close up.  it wuzzed all crusty and hard as a rock, but I eated it right down.

I was glad I eated it becuz we steel had a long way to go on our walk and I needed the inergy.

I gitted to tend I wuzzed a mountin goat agin.  gud ting I eated that bread.  

but I wuzzed steel tired win I gotted home, so I rested for one minute and 34 seconds.

my neck is all black agin, but I sure had fun!

 

black neck

you might tink dis pitcher is just of me drinking sum water.  but mommy taked it to show that my bad boy pulling habit still shows up frum 3 days ago. member our hike to the frozen lake?  I pulled on my leash so hard the whole time that the metal connector on my leash and collar made a big black smudgie stain on my bootiful coat. canz you see it by my shoulder?  mommy sez that me, Percy wuzzed a bad boy for pulling so much.

but I tink I member dat when we were hiking UPHILL she didn't mind me pulling a bit!

June in december

it is almost Christmas time, but mudder nature tinks it is still summer.  it wuzzed almost 70 degrees today, so I sed yippeeeee and runned down a hill!!

if mudder nature can pretend it is June, thin I canz pretend I canz fly !

togedder time

my mommy sed to me this morning, "hey Percy, let us go on a venture".  I sed "yes, let us do".  So, she putted on my collar with my Whistle on it so we cud track how far we walk.  My Whistle telled us that we are starting our hike right here.

mommy sed  that we were going to hike up to a lake that might has ice instead of water.  I wuzzed confused becuzzed I has never heared of such a ting.  

I pulled and runned all the way to see the lake with ice.  we hiked up a long hill. I ruv to eat ice so I wuz cited to see all the ice cubes in the lake.  but when we gitted there this is whut I saw!  

It wuzzed not ice cubes, but a big ole ice skating rink!!  and I watched sum fish swimming under the ice and water.  canz you see the fish in the water?  thin we got to a very frozed up part of the lake and mommy taked my leash off and telled me to go try it out.  

I tried to eat sum of the ice but I cud not bite into it, so I jest licked it.  thin I got all crazied up and decided to roll and roll and roll!  it felt nice and cold after the long hot hike.  

do you see how happy my face wuz?  I ruv the frozen lake.  it is almost as fun as a water lake.  but I don't tink we cud take our boat on the ice lake.  thin I had a liddle photo shoot cuz I am so cute.

I canz luk very regal sumtimes.  but thin the next second I luk like dis-----

thin I made a sweet innocent face.  mommy sed that wud not fool innyone cuz I em not innocent.

does this innocent face fool you?  I tink I luk sad.  so thin I maked a happy face agin!

I jumped on a ginormus rock so I cud see the whole frozen lake.  I taked a gud luk.

canz you believe that I jumped up on this big rock.  mommy jest shaked her head...  but thin she sed "oh no Percy, how will you git down"?  so, I showed her.  I crawled right on down.  I jest tended I wuzzed a mountain goat.  I tink I mite be half mountain goat, maybe my grandpaw was a goaty.

on our hike back down I pulled so hard that mommy gitted a liddle bit mad at me.  she telled me that if I did not stop pulling she might give me a liddle paddling.  I knew she wud never paddle me, so I did not stop pulling.  

here is whut my Whistle sed I did today.

that is a lot of miles!  I ruv how it tells me  nice work.  but spending time hiking with my mommy is never work to me.  it is fun fun fun.  mommy sez that we do has sum work to do-learning me not to pull pull pull.  that does not sound like fun fun fun.  oh, and on our drive home we saw this guy!

it sure wuz a nice day to spend time togedder.

winter sunshine

one uf my favrit places to take naps in the winter is in the sunshine rays that come thru my frunt door.

ahhhhh, warm and cozy.

cup o noodles

the bark box sent me my own cup o noodles.  I ruv it so I make sure it is with me whin I sleep/  I don't wunt old man Max or grouchy pants Asa to steal it.

whin I waked all up I wuzzed hungry so I tried to eat the cup o noodles.  it wuzzed fake and tasted bad.

but it is steel mine own cup o noodles.  

Asa the turtle

grouchy pants Asa had a sense of humor today!  he pretended to be a tortoise!  I lauffed so much.

percy is not happy today

I know my mommy is going back to Tennysee soon to babysit those golden Retreevers again and leaving me all alone.  so I put on my best sad face in hopes of convincing her not to go and leave me.

I sure hope it works cuz I miss her so much win she is gone.  I evin pretended to be sick...
