Standing Ground

I've been studying the signs

at the castles we visit.

I know what "siege" means.

Out of the Phone Booth

Yeah,

I killed this stick snake.

I'm a superhero.

I just pretend to be scared of sheep

so I don't blow my cover.

Today I Met the SEA

 and it tried to eat my toes.

But it also was fun to chase.

Plus it had some of the strangest tasting sticks

I've ever destroyed.

I've heard there are creatures in it...

I'll be back for those later.

Comfort Zone

It's true.

The most comfortable spot

is always the one

that makes our humans

most uncomfortable.

We know

you won't move us.

We're too cute.

If They're Really Out to Get You, is it Still Paranoia?

She's watching me snooze.

WHAT'S

SHE

PLANNING?!?!

Greener Grass, Smellier Smells

Mommy and Daddy

won't let me play in this field.

Something about sheep.

Sheep are pretty much

the gangs of the country.

Always watching,

always chewing,

always pooping...

Those guys freak me out.

Someday I'll Take Flight

I may not be a basset hound,

but I'm trying.

I run down hills

as fast as I can;

I keep my ears spread

in hopes of a strong wind.

Someday.

Someday

I'll soar...

And those birds will never see me coming.

I'm a Supermodel

 My mommy likes to have photoshoots of me, since I'm so beautiful and all...

outtake!

Lumps and Bumps and Skin Tags

So I am a little bit older than I act.

So my mask is turning white.

(I'll get my mommy to put some of my baby pictures on here.  Y'all will DIE. I was ADORABLE.)

So I have some lumps and bumps-

 none are scary.

So I have a skin tag.

Not a big deal;

I've had one before.

Well last night Daddy saw

that my skin tag was swollen and red.

So today I had to go see the doctor.

AND SHE SAID IT'S FINE.

It just needs some ointment.

So quit the long hugs and sappy words, Mommy.

But if you want to keep rubbing me, 

that's okay.

'Cause sometimes I get a little sore at the end of the day.

Pampering

What, so I use a mud mask...

you think I just roll out of bed this gorgeous?

Oh, hang on-

I do.

Peekaboo!

I see you!

*Note From Sloan's Mommy*

Hello, this is Sloan's Mommy.

I'm sorry to tell you that Sloan won't be leaving a post tonight, 

as she's been quite bad today and is now pouting.

Our walk today wasn't optimal, as there were hunters in the forest so I had both dogs on lead.

This apparently led to Sloan and Max deciding to bark, lunge, and knock me off my feet each time we saw another human and dog.

Upon arriving home, both dogs needed baths, and Sloan was rather uncooperative.

She has had her internet privileges taken away for the evening.

Please stop by tomorrow, which I'm hoping will be a better day for all of us.

Happy New Year, from Sloan's family.
