Day 112

The Island is cold and wet. I enjoyed staying in the warm house and napping most of the day. We went on our usual tour and I have taken to jumping up the tall bushy items that are turning green to chase the little four legged creatures with the big fluffy tails. Captain laughs and calls it her morning jolt and told me maybe she didn't need coffee after all. (It was cold enough she wanted it for the warmth when we got home, but she did seem more alert for the rest of the walk.) Once she left for her run, which I think was a race today and involved some weird thing called a gorilla that the runners were chasing (but he was much bigger than the four legged fluffy tailed things), I was able to curl up and enjoy the dry house. I curled up with the t-shirt she left me and felt all warm and snuggly. When she got back she laughed and said that while she wasn't the one the caught the gorilla she kept running hard anyway. She said something about this being a life lesson for me about chasing your dreams hard even if someone else beats you to them. I smiled and kissed her but I hope she realizes that she is the key to my dreams as she provides the cookies, food, and bones.

A man came into the house later in the morning and was all looking out the windows and up at the ceiling in the dining room. I brought some of my toys out of the box to show him. He was nice to me, but Captain seemed sad about the news he was telling her about the rain and something called leaking. They went and walked outside too talking about bricks. They didn't take me with them so I threw a tantrum inside. I know, not totally mature like the almost 3 year old I am, but I wanted him to know she was my Captain and I wanted her to know she hurt my feelings. She made it up to me when we rested in the afternoon and took a long tour during a dry spell. I actually really like walking with Captain through the mist and cool air, well so long as I don't get my paws into puddles, I hate that. Then, she said something about a party and left for a long time. I again enjoyed laying on my bed with my tshirt and teddy bear and was still ready for bed when she got home. She pretty much walked straight into the bed and it is all we can do to blog.
