Gone fishing

I love Lake Marion. Brian, Carrie and I went fishing last Saturday.

Beached the boat in some shade for a snack. Bloody hot that day!

Lake Marion is a whopping huge beautiful body of water.

Sam gets a message

Our dog, Sam, got a phone call the other day from his Uncle Ken. (Ken is my brother-in-law, who met Sam when he was here for a visit last month.) Ken had seen my previous post and pictures of one of Sam’s destructive days, and so he called to give Sam a pep talk about being better behaved.

What Ken said. “Sam, I’m very disappointed in you. I see the destruction you made. That’s very bad, Sam. You better straighten out or you’ll have to come live with me. Sam, you be good.”

What Sam heard. “Blah, blah, blah, Sam. Blah, blah, blah, Sam. Blah-de-blah-de-da, Sam. Sam, blah, blah.”

Sam gets Ken's message off the answering machine. "Woof, woof, Ken. Woof, woof, woof"

“Bad dog, Sam”

One of my dog lover friends out here in cyberspace needs to take a minute to remind me just how much I love my dog!

I walked into the house on Wednesday after a long day at work, arms full of groceries to find this:

Arrgh! Bad dog, Sam!

Arrgh! Bad dog, Sam!

Bad, bad, bad, Sam.

Bad, bad, bad, Sam.

Not the dining room chairs, too, Sam!

Sam looks awfully sorry. Here he is laying on the afghan that Brian's mother made, ruined on another day.
