Time Flies!

Hello everyone. It's the "General", a/k/a Boiler. Once again, too much time has passed since my last post. We three Springers have been having a wonderful summer. The last of my gal Tilley's pups left for their forever homes right after the 4th of July. Up until that time, our days were filled with keeping up with the little darlings.

The masters have been taking me and my two girls down to the fields to run almost everyday. Master Dad tries to take us out right after breakfast. I think I've finally figured out why. First of all, it's cooler, second is that the three of us usually do our business down there, and it's three less piles that have to be scooped up out of the backyard, and thirdly, we are all ready for a long nap, and Master Dad can get some work done!

Sometimes in the evening, when Master Mommy comes home from work, we all go swimming! Me and Nittany really love that, and take turns diving in. Nittany even likes to float on the mattress with Mom. I prefer to get a running start! I gallop like a madman around the deep end, leap almost clean across the shallow end, climb out at the ladder and repeat the process until I and the masters lose count. Tilley doesn't like to dive, so she gets lifted in. She's so pampered!

I'm in quantine right now. It seems my Lady Nittany is in heat again. I do my best to talk the masters into letting me spend some time with her, but to no avail! I'm basically depressed, refuse to eat, and climb up on their laps while I cry and whine like a baby. Nothing is working this time around! The way I understand it, she gets to relax until Spring time. Go figure! What about me! They could have at least shipped me off to some deserted island for three weeks! Somebody help me PLEEEASE! Just to let you know how stressful it is, Master Dad and me took a trip to visit Grandma this week. I broke my fast, and ate some of her cookies.

I heard something about Tilley's turn being right around the corner? Does this mean another three weeks of sheer agony? If I survive these next few weeks without a nervous breakdown, I'll write another post. If not, consider this my last.

Going Out of My Mind,
