Hi All, Travis here,

Well, it's been a while but it's been busy around here.

MOM had to buy another computer because her big one up and died on her ( SHE wasn't real happy at that), so now we have a laptop and I think it's great. It's easier for me to work than the other one. This is the first time MOM has let me near the laptop and I have a lot to say.

The snow is finally gone. It was so deep that it was almost up to my chest when I was out playing. At times, Gracie had trouble getting around in the snow because it was so deep. MOM slipped and hurt her left knee while SHE was moving the snow around and I've been helping HER do things around here. I will bring HER things ( my toys, a piece of a blankie Gracie chewed up, a piece of my food) and SHE let's me lay down beside HER and SHE rubs my tummy. I LOVE it when SHE rubs my tummy - I end up going to sleep, it feels sooooooooooooo gooooooooooood.

Gracie has been in heat - that's what MOM calls it when Gracie gets real nasty toward me and her backside starts to swell and she SMELLS SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!!! I like the way she smells at that time but she is even more nasty than usual. She would wake up in the morning and start fussing with me even before we were let out of our crates. I wasn't awake most of the time and she would fuss. MOM even had to come between us because Gracie would pick a fight with me if I was just sitting still looking out the window. MOM wasn't happy with Gracie's attitude - SHE said that if you looked in Funk and Wagnell's and found the word "bitch" that Gracie's picture would be right next to it. I'm not sure what all that means but I think MOM was saying that Gracie is nasty. MOM said that we will be able to tell when this happens again and I asked her how often Gracie would be like this and MOM said 2 times a year. I don't know if I can stand Gracie like this that often - she's hard enough to live with as it is let alone when she's in heat.

We (Chloe, Gracie, MOM, and me, Stylle was in the house eating her breakfast) were outside this morning and Chloe and I were snooping around a pile of weeds when all of a sudden a big fat bunny rabbit ran out in front of me running toward the creek. The silly rabbit couldn't get thru the fence and, since I was right behind him, he decided to run toward the gate between the front and backyards. I could almost touch his tail, and Chloe was right behind me, when the rabbit ran thru the fence and got away!!!!! Gracie came up after Chloe an I had chased it thru the fence and was asking what had happened ( she NEVER pays attention). So, Chloe told her as I was trying to figure out how to get thru the fence to get that rabbit but MOM said we couldn't do that. Even tho Chloe and I BEGGED HER to let us go get that rabbit ( it wasn't supposed to be in our yard anyway ), SHE said no. I will get that rabbit and those nasty squirrels that were in the yard yesterday. I WILL. I WILL. I WILL.

Well, that's about all for now.
`Bye til later.
Travis
