This weekend was very exciting and just a little bit of craziness. As you know the parental units are working away at some project or another but my energy level keeps me going…and well as everyone else in the house. That’s right folks – I still have my troublemaker self going strong which keeps them on their toes.

Like this morning – my itchy skin is back so I decided they had sufficient sleep and started my licking at 4:30 AM. I mean seriously, I went to bed at 8:30 last night and had my rest, but I want them on my schedule.

Dad was cool and got up with me and we went to the living room to let Mom rest. He was even patient with me and covered my feet with the blanket. It was pretty funny him using me as a pillow. He fell back asleep and we rested. OK, I was sort of cool and let him cruise through some Z’s but just for a short time. Then I woke him at 5:30 with a big load yawn in his face.

He mumbled something about my bad breath and we finally got up…

Next we went on a big walk and I got to see some of the neighborhood PITAS and that really got Dad walking. I was good and did not pull too much but those “friends” really get me going. They did not squeak like #1 PITA in the backyard.

Then things got really exciting since we went to Bar Nine Collective, a cool coffee-house in Culver City. My friend Zayde had the vision for making and serving the perfect cup of coffee and he made it happen. They even had a nice water dish for us canines.  I did get a little miffed since Dad got a yummy cookie and I did NOT since the canine cookies are at home.

With all this fun I had to have a serious moment. I hear there is a lot going on in the world lately and that makes me wonder, but glad I do not have to deal with it too much. We need to pray for people’s safety here in the US and to all my friends in other countries.

I mean I kept hearing about a “photo op” and got really excited. I love photo ops, so if any of you including the president wants one with me I will clear my calendar and pencil you in! You know me I love the attention people!

Well anyways, back to work folks!  We never really stop because there is always a project, which I love because I get to be a part of my pack.  I wasn’t getting quite enough attention as Dad was cooking this afternoon so I stole the Cook’s Illustrated magazine – LOTS of good eats in there but somehow Dad was not too happy with me.

So there you have it my life, some news and I am happy to report a warm, sunny 75 degrees here in Santa Monica.

Peace,

Punky
