sit! stay! blog!

my name spartacus. i'm a baaaaaad blogger. at first it wasn't my fault. i use my sister's computer and it crashed. i'm pretty sure i didn't crash it, but i hid just in case. anyhow, it took my daddy forever to get his friend to fix it. by the time he got it back i forgot i had a blog.

i become forgetful when it's so hot. also if it's too cold i forget stuff or if it's rainy or windy or perfect. what made me suddenly remember is when i got busted for playing with one of Cookie's barbies. mommy took a picture (it's like living with the paparazzi these days with her) and blogged about it (i swear the head was already off!) and i thought, hey what a good idea! i should do a blog! and then i remembered, "oh, i do!"

but that's not what i wanted to tell you. i just wanted to say that it is too hot to do anything outside except go to the bathroom. it's like i still get excited to go for a walk and everything, but half way through it i'm thinking, "this wasn't such a good idea." and on the way back i'm bringing up the rear. it looks like i'm walking my daddy.

the street is so hot i have to try not to keep my feet on it for more than a nano second. so i'm prancing around like one of those horses that sells beer until i can get to some grass or shade.

sometimes, when i forget how hot it is, i will ask someone to go out and play with me and then i fetch the ball once and return it straight to the door and inside to my pillow.

it's so hot that one time i got loose out front and ran in a big circle right back to the front door!

it's hot!

and our days of august are still to come. i don't know why they call them "dog days". we don't want them either!
