We're doing it again

Mymom is PACKING!

It's not all that warm here yet but she's packing all of our HOT PLACE things. Even the HOT PLACE WET-COAT.

I hate all coats.

THEY ARE OPPRESSIVE.

And the water jugs are ready. We drink lots of water but she POURS IT ON ME, too. It's almost as bad as a BATH.

Uh-oh. I shouldn't have said that. I see BATH TOWELS.

It's NOT RIGHT.

But it all means AGILITY TRIAL PLAY. Again! O lucky hound! (me, that's ME)

There will probably be cold things, too. She puts them in my crate.

I give them my special I HATE YOU look.

But I don't like THE HOT either.

HOT YODELYWOO HOT
MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A BLOT YODELYWOO BLOT!

I'm going to think about agility play. THAT WILL BE FUN NO MATTER WHAT!

On books and news

It comes to my attention that there are things to be announced.

My person has sold another book that will no doubt have a Beagle on the cover. It's a sequel to NOSE FOR TROUBLE, so it will have that Dale the veterinarian (I would like to lick his hand) and that silly Sully Beagle. I hear far too much about that Sully Beagle, for a dog who isn't even here.

My person believes the book will be out next year. At the moment she's calling it SCENTING DANGER, but I gather that SCENT OF DANGER is also in the running. If you have any opinions, it would make me very important to gather them and show them to my person.

It is a good thing to be important.

Personally, I think the book should be titled HERDING DANGER and that Dale (I would like to lick his hand!) should have a Cardigan keeping him out of trouble. The Beagle could stay, but he would have to go into a crate when the exciting things happened because he just gets into the middle of it anyway.
