A couple weeks ago I got to go to Vermont with my friends Kobe and Eragon. Getting there took soooooooo long and I was stuck riding in the box for days. It seemed like we were never going to get there, I don’t understand what took so long for mama-Mo to let me out of the box. But boy, when she let me out, I was so excited to see her... “the ma, the ma!” I was so excited I kept biting her so she would know how much I love her.  Once we arrived in Vermont, I was set. The weather was great, it was cool like Tahoe but different smells, lots of different smells.

New Toys
On our first day my mama-Mo gave me a new toy, another toy that looks like me. She said this one was mine and something about not playing with the one at home because it was Blades. I’m still wondering when I’m gonna meet this Blade dude so I can ask why I can’t have his toy. “Phuey”, but now I have my own. “ha ha Blade I’m not gonna share with you.”

Guess What? Then I got another toy, my mama-Lee gave me a green hairy man. Boy he is fun to shake. I bite him. And I shake him until he cant play no more. I already pulled out that noisy thing in his belly. “mmmm” I don’t know why but the mom’s gave me the goodies. I was happy as a New England, um... Clam. No wait bouvier. That’s right, bouvier.

Bouv Heaven
Anyway there was a lot of other dogs like me there, "Wooo Whooo!" I was in heaven. I was sad though because I didn’t get to meet and play with any of them, but I did run into my sister Lillith. She’s not a baby anymore, like me. Mom says were big girls now. :-). My sister Lilith is supposed to send me some pictures when she won in sweeps. Mom says it’s called “Best Opposite in Sweepstakes” and it was a big deal. I don’t know what it all means, I just thought she looked pretty and we got to run around the ring together. I hope I see her again soon but I’m telling the mom, “next time we get to play” because I’m the boss! I did get to play with my travel partners, Kobe and Eragon. Eragon is my new friend, he is handsome and smells nice but best of all, he likes to play too. We played a lot. I think I might have been a little to bossy with him, but hey I’m the boss, right?

My Turn to Run Around the Ring
Before we went to Vermont and every time we went to dog-class mama-Mo would make me “practice”. Practice??? At first I didn’t know why we were always running in circles and standing still, but finally she told me it was to get ready for Vermont. “Whats a Vermont, I’d think?” But now I know. In Vermont, me and the ma ran around in circles and stood still three times. Boy was I tired after that. On the second day, there was a lady and she watched me run in circles. I was happy to run with the ma and since it was just me and her, ahhhhh, I chewed on her clothes. Yep. I do that sometimes because I like it, but the ma doesn’t seem to like it much. Hmm, oh well. Anyway, we ran around with some other girls and then the lady pointed to me and the ma! The ma jumped up and was very happy. Then we got a pretty ribbon! My mama-Mo gave me a big kiss and said I was a good girl. The really cool part was that the ma and me, well we did good! I was so excited, I bit my ma’s bumms. “Hehehe.”

“What, another day and I have to run in circles again?” That’s what I was trying to ask the ma when she started combing my hair again. But this time was different, there were other (“eh, hem”) ladies like myself and we ran around a bunch of times. More than I have run before. But it wasn’t the same lady, it was somebody else. The man he made me and the ma run around a lot. I thought it was never going to end but when it did... The man pointed to us and that’s when the ma jumped really high in the air. She jumps almost as good as me. Me and the ma were really excited and we got a another pretty ribbon, a purple one! My ma was so happy, she hugged her friends and they all smiled like the ma. I don’t exactly, but the ma says that what we did was very special and exciting. After that, the ma smiled a lot and gave me many, many kisses. “I like kisses!”

I have a lot of friends I need to give a big bouv kiss and say “Thanks!”
Mama-Sue & Tony for doing my hair and helping the ma.
Mama-Lee & Dave for letting me go live and play with the ma, I like her.
My friend Eragons mom and dad (Cynthia and Don), thanks for helping me and the ma and for letting me play with my new friend.
And to all the nice people who smiled us and said, congrats... “thanks and I’m glad to have met you!”

“Thanks for the memories and I hope to see you all soon!!!”
