Odiferous
Turns out the Elf was not really an Elf
He was a Forest Person
He told us the Elves are the ones who make
The toys and the Forest people are the ones
Who find out what everyone wants for Christmas
We think our Forest Person went a little overboard
With the nuts and berries
Some strange sounds were coming from him
Big News
Fenway found the Elf in our woods yesterday
He was a real nice guy even though he dresses a little weird
He decided to hang out with us for a while
He works for Santa and we were very excited to
Hear all about Santa's escapades
Astonishment
Holy Mackerel!!!
I can't believe my eyes
I swear I just saw our friend Baldr and a
Sleigh pulled by reindeer fly over our house
Fenway said 'Don't be foolish. If it was
Baldr he would have stopped to say hello"
Saying Goodbye
Parting in such sweet sorrow
I shall say goodbye until
You come back home again
When I shall once more
Bark and jump and carry on
Like a nut
Bonding
My favorite boy was home for Thanksgiving
When I was little he used to pick me up and
Swing me around
He tried that yesterday and said I wasn't so
Little anymore
I wonder if I ate too much turkey
Red Sox Hopeful
Because of my sister's prowess with fly balls
I have decided to become her agent
As you can see she plays at 100% all the time
Watch out Shane Victorino
Della just might take your job with the
Red Sox in the Spring
Australian Shepherd Water Convention
Most people think it is too cold for beach now
But this is our favorite time of year to go
Not many people are there and we can play catch
That's our friend Liz throwing the ball
I am already to catch it, Fenway isn't paying attention
Ryder thinks he has a chance for it
No way Luke and Brooke can get this fly ball
It has my name written all over it
Alterations Completed
We are so happy with the alterations
Mom made to our costumes
Now we will be able to eat our treats
One more day till the goodie collecting begins
Identity Revealed
Della was very concerned about what we found at the beach
I showed her it was nothing to be worried about
It was just a Horseshoe Crab with some barnacles on it
Actually this one was missing his tail and was not alive anymore
Horseshoe Crabs are marine arthropods
They are a living fossil
They are the closest living relative
to the now extinct trilobites
Della didn't care about all that
She just thought it looked weird
If you are interested you can see a photo of my older
sister, Scout (RIP) herding some Horseshoe Crabs at this link

A Discovery
There was something new at our beach yesterday
It looked kind of dangerous
So I tried to cover it up with some sand
Fenway says I'm not a very good aim
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to our friend Baldr
Because you live so far away we decided
To celebrate here
The only problem was
After we posed so nicely for Mom
She took the cupcake and all we got were dog biscuits
Hope you have a fulfilled day today
Costumes
Mom has been working on our Halloween costumes
We think she has a little more work to do
